Configuring Siebel Application Object Manager for Dedicated Siebel Product Configurator Deployments

This topic is part of Topology Considerations for Siebel Product Configurator.

When you designate one or more dedicated server computers to run the Siebel Product Configuration Object Manager (alias eProdCfgObjMgr_jpn in a Japanese locale, for example) component, then you must configure any Siebel Application Object Manager components from which users will initiate configuration sessions to route configuration requests to these computers.

The Siebel Application Object Manager forwards each configuration session request to the dedicated Siebel Product Configurator server with the fewest concurrent users.

The following information lists server parameters for managing dedicated Siebel Product Configurator deployments. Using Server Manager, set these parameters on each Siebel Application Object Manager. Do not set these parameters on the dedicated Siebel Product Configurator server computer.

Parameter Name	Display Name	Data Type	Default Value	Description
eProdCfgRemote	Product Configurator-Use remote service	Boolean	FALSE	Set this parameter to TRUE if you are running the eProdCfgObjMgr component on one or more dedicated servers. Set this parameter to FALSE for Siebel Product Configurator deployments using Siebel Application Object Manager only.
eProdCfgServer	Product Configurator-Remote Server Name	Text	Not applicable	Note: Instead of using this parameter, customers are advised to configure dedicated Siebel Product Configurator servers by using the Administration - Product screen, Cache Administration view. When you have not enabled explicit product mapping for products to a Siebel Product Configurator server, set this parameter to the names of the dedicated computers on which you are running eProdCfgObjMgr. Otherwise, set the value of this parameter to NULL.
eProdCfgTimeOut	Product Configurator-Time out of connection	Integer	20	Sets the length of time, in seconds, that the Siebel Application Object Manager tries to connect to a dedicated Siebel Server running eProdCfgObjMgr. After the timeout has been reached, an error is returned to the user.
eProdCfgKeepAliveTime	Product Configurator - Keep Alive Time of Idle Session	Integer	900	Setting in seconds to determine the maximum interval of inactivity during a configuration session. If the interval of inactivity reaches this value, then the user session is stopped and the worker returns to the pool. If this parameter is not set, then an infinite interval is assumed. Set this parameter on the Siebel Application Object Manager only. It does not apply on the dedicated Siebel Product Configurator server. Note: On the dedicated Siebel Product Configurator server (eProdCfgObjMgr component), set the parameter ConnIdleTime to a value like that of eProdCfgKeepAliveTime, plus 1 second.
