Creating a Siebel Enterprise Cache Client Profile


This procedure describes how to configure a Siebel Enterprise Cache Client profile. You can create multiple profiles. This task is part of Configuring the Siebel Enterprise Cache.

NOTE:  Unlike most other types of profiles that you configure using Siebel Management Console, you configure but do not a deploy a Siebel Enterprise Cache Client profile. Instead, you specify a defined profile of this type when you configure a Siebel CRM feature that uses the Siebel Enterprise Cache: in the current release, the Siebel Constraint Engine is the only feature that uses the Siebel Enterprise Cache.

To create a Siebel Enterprise Cache Client profile

  1. Run the Siebel Management Console, as described in Starting the Siebel Management Console.
  2. Click Profiles in the navigation menu in the left panel, then click Enterprise Cache Client.

    Existing Siebel Enterprise Cache Client profiles are listed, if any.

  3. Click the plus sign (+) at the top of the overview section to add a new Siebel Enterprise Cache Client profile, or click the Clone button to clone an existing profile.
  4. Specify a name for the profile.
  5. Specify additional settings, as shown in Table 10.
  6. When you have specified all applicable settings, click Submit to save your changes to the profile.

NOTE:  After you create the Siebel Enterprise Cache Client profile, the profile is in a read-write state. You can update configuration settings and save the profile. If you do so, then, to propagate the updates, you might also need to redeploy any dependent deployed entity (such as Siebel Constraint Engine).

Configuration Settings for a Siebel Enterprise Cache Client Profile

Table 10 describes the settings that are requested in the Siebel Management Console for configuring a new Siebel Enterprise Cache Client profile or modifying an existing Siebel Enterprise Cache Client 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.

Most of the Siebel Enterprise Cache Client settings that you specify here correspond to Oracle Coherence settings. For more information about 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 Cache Client Configuration heading to edit the XML directly. You can use this as an alternative to specifying values for all of the individual fields in this section.
