Siebel Innovation Pack 2017: Creating a Siebel Enterprise Cache Server Profile

This procedure describes how to configure a Siebel Enterprise Cache Server profile. You can create multiple profiles, but you can deploy only one instance of Siebel Enterprise Cache Server in your Siebel deployment. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Enterprise Cache.

Configuration Settings for a Siebel Enterprise Cache Server Profile

Table 9 describes the settings that are requested in the Siebel Management Console for configuring a new Siebel Enterprise Cache Server profile or modifying an existing Siebel Enterprise Cache Server profile. Required fields display an asterisk (*) next to the field label. For most of the options, pointing to the option displays tooltip text that provides a brief description of the field. Clicking the large plus sign (+) to the right of some options adds a new instance of a configurable item, which is represented in the second column using italics.

Most of the Siebel Enterprise Cache Server settings that you specify here correspond to Oracle Coherence settings. For more information about the Oracle Coherence settings, see Oracle Coherence documentation.

NOTE: Siebel CRM provides existing configuration settings for Siebel Enterprise Cache Server and Siebel Enterprise Cache Client that work with Siebel Constraint Engine. See also Configuring the Siebel Constraint Engine.

NOTE: You can click the Advanced button next to the Tango Coherence Override or Cache Configuration heading to edit the XML directly. You can use this as an alternative to specifying values for all of the individual fields in these sections.

Table 9. Settings for Configuring a Siebel Enterprise Cache Server Profile
Setting in Siebel Management Console	Section (Under Create Profile)	Comment or Description
Log Level	(Not applicable)	Specify the log level. Select one of the following options: Fatal, Error, Warning, Debug, Trace, Information, All
Security Profile	(Not applicable)	Specify the security profile that the Siebel Enterprise Cache Server uses to secure any cache operations.
Setup Coherence Server SSL	Tango Coherence Override > Coherence Server SSL	Check this option to enable SSL security settings for Siebel Enterprise Cache Server. NOTE: You must configure SSL security settings the same for both Siebel Enterprise Cache Server and Siebel Enterprise Cache Client.
Key Store	Tango Coherence Override > Coherence Server SSL This option appears if you checked the option Setup Coherence Server SSL.	Provide the location of the keystore file.
Key Store Password	Tango Coherence Override > Coherence Server SSL This option appears if you checked the option Setup Coherence Server SSL.	Provide the private key password for the keystore file.
Key Store Type	Tango Coherence Override > Coherence Server SSL This option appears if you checked the option Setup Coherence Server SSL.	Specify the type of keystore instance you are using, such as a JKS file.
Cache Server TLS Port	Tango Coherence Override > Coherence Server SSL	Specify the TLS port that will be used to access the cache via socket APIs.
Cluster Name	Tango Coherence Override	Provide the Siebel Enterprise Cache Server cluster name, such as SiebelEnterpriseCacheCluster.
Cache Name	Cache Configuration > Cache Scheme Map > Cache Name	Specify the name of this cache.
Scheme Name	Cache Configuration > Cache Scheme Map > Cache Name	Specify the scheme name for this cache.
Service Name	Cache Configuration > Proxy Scheme	Specifies the name of the service.
Maximum Thread Count	Cache Configuration > Proxy Scheme	Specifies the minimum number of daemon threads. Usage of daemon threads varies for different service types. If the value is zero or negative, then the service does not use daemon threads and all relevant tasks are performed on the service thread. Furthermore, if the value is negative, then tasks are performed on the caller's thread where possible. Valid values are integers greater or equal to the Minimum Thread Count value.
Minimum Thread Count	Cache Configuration > Proxy Scheme	Specifies the minimum number of daemon threads. Usage of daemon threads varies for different service types. If the value is zero or negative, then the service does not use daemon threads and all relevant tasks are performed on the service thread. Furthermore, if the value is negative, then tasks are performed on the caller's thread where possible. Valid values are integers less than or equal to the Maximum Thread Count value.
Cache Server Host	Cache Configuration > Proxy Scheme	Provide the Siebel Enterprise Cache Server host name.
Port	Cache Configuration > Proxy Scheme	Provide the Siebel Enterprise Cache Server service port.
Enable Cache Service Proxy	Cache Configuration > Proxy Scheme	Check this option to enable cache service proxy. If this option is disabled, then clients will not be able to access any proxied caches.
Auto Start Extended Service	Cache Configuration > Proxy Scheme	Check this option to automatically start this service at a cluster node.
Distributed Scheme	Cache Configuration > Scheme Configuration > Distributed Scheme	Specify the scheme name for a distributed scheme.
Type	Cache Configuration > Scheme Configuration > Distributed Scheme	Specify the type of distributed scheme. Specify one of the following: Reference Scheme Backup Scheme
Distributed Reference Scheme	Cache Configuration > Scheme Configuration > Distributed Scheme This option appears if you selected Reference Scheme as the distributed scheme type.	Specify the scheme name that is configured in the distributed scheme section. It should be different from the scheme name provided in the Scheme Name field.
Service Name	Cache Configuration > Scheme Configuration > Distributed Scheme This option appears if you selected Backup Scheme as the distributed scheme type.	Specify the name of the service that will manage caches created from this scheme.
Auto Start Distributed Service	Cache Configuration > Scheme Configuration > Distributed Scheme This option appears if you selected Backup Scheme as the distributed scheme type.	Check this option to automatically start the cache services associated with this cache scheme at a cluster node.
Backup Scheme Configuration	Cache Configuration > Scheme Configuration > Distributed Scheme	Specify the scheme name already created in the Local Scheme section.
Local Scheme Name	Cache Configuration > Local Scheme Configuration > Local Scheme Name	Specify the scheme name of the local scheme.
Eviction Policy	Cache Configuration > Local Scheme Configuration > Local Scheme Name	Specify the type of eviction policy to use. Specify one of the following: Least Recently Used (LRU). Chooses which objects to evict based on how recently they were last used, evicting those that were not accessed for the longest period first. Least Frequently Used (LFU). Chooses which objects to evict based on how often they are being accessed, evicting those that are accessed least frequently first. Hybrid. Chooses which objects to evict based on the combination (weighted score) of how often and how recently they were accessed, evicting those that are accessed least frequently and those that were not accessed for the longest period first.
Maximum Cache Size	Cache Configuration > Local Scheme Configuration > Local Scheme Name	Specify the maximum number of units that can be placed in the cache before pruning occurs.
Cache Unit Calculator	Cache Configuration > Local Scheme Configuration > Local Scheme Name	Specify the type of cache unit calculator. The cache unit calculator determines the cost, in units, of a given object. Specify one of the following: Binary Fixed
Cache Unit Factor	Cache Configuration > Local Scheme Configuration > Local Scheme Name	Specifies the factor by which the units (low units and high units) are adjusted. Using a cache unit calculator, for example, the factor of 1048576 could be used to count megabytes instead of bytes.
Cache Expiry	Cache Configuration > Local Scheme Configuration > Local Scheme Name	Specifies the amount of time from the last update that entries are kept by the cache before being marked as expired.
