Setting Up Server Keys for Siebel Loyalty

Server keys are used for batch components, not for real-time components. For more information about batch and real-time components, see Setting Up Server Components for Siebel Loyalty.

Server keys are used for two reasons:

• To distribute members across different servers and processes, for static load balancing.

• To make sure that only one process is processing a member at any time. (Within the process, the Siebel Loyalty Engine makes sure that only one processing thread is processing a member at any time.)

Siebel Loyalty automatically assigns the least-loaded key to new members.
