Mapping Business Requirements to Siebel Server Components

This task is a step in Process of Infrastructure Planning.

This infrastructure planning task identifies the Siebel Server components needed to meet your business requirements.

Begin by listing the Siebel applications that users run. For each application, identify the associated Application Object Manager. List all language-specific Application Object Managers that you need.

Many Application Object Managers require additional server components such as Workflow Manager. Users typically do not interact with these second-tier components directly. The role of these components is to support the function of Application Object Managers and of the Siebel Server.

All of the second-tier component requirements must be correctly identified in your planning and review phases. Work closely with your implementation team to identify these components.

After you have identified all of the required server components, group them by business location. Then, for each location, determine the anticipated workload volumes for all of the components. Consider both average and peak workloads. This information is key for deciding how to distribute Application Object Managers and other components across Siebel Servers.
