About the Advanced Constraint Configurator

The Advanced Constraint Configurator is a new constraint library for Siebel Product Configurator that can be utilized to apply existing, or new, customizable product constraints.

The Advanced Constraint Engine is not available by default, therefore you must actively install Enterprise Cache and Advanced Constraint Engine using the Siebel Enterprise Server installer. If you are installing Siebel for the first time, then you can include Enterprise Cache and Advanced Constraint Engine with other Siebel Enterprise Server components, such as the Siebel Server. However, if you perform a migration installation, then you must install the other Siebel Enterprise Server components first, for example, the database, gateway, and so on, and then install Enterprise Cache and Advanced Constraint Engine in a separate location.

The following considerations apply to installing the Advanced Constraint Engine:

• You can install Enterprise Cache and Advanced Constraint Engine separately.
• You configure and deploy the Advanced Constraint Engine using Siebel Management Console. You must configure and deploy profiles for the main Siebel server modules, and for Enterprise Cache, both the server and the client, before you can configure and deploy Advanced Constraint Engine.

For more information, see Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
