Configuring REST Inbound Default Parameters

The following table contains the REST inbound default parameters that you configure when you create a Siebel Application Interface Profile. For more information about configuring a Siebel Application Interface profile, see Siebel Installation Guide.

Siebel Management Console Parameter	Section	Description
Object Manager	REST Inbound Defaults	Select the Object Manager component to use for REST inbound communications, such as EAI Object Manager.
REST Response Base URL	REST Inbound Defaults	Specify the base URL used to generate URLs for resources in REST responses.
Maximum Possible Connections	REST Inbound Defaults	Specify the maximum number of possible connections available to serve REST requests. The default value is 20. This parameter determines the maximum number of REST requests an AI node can handle at a given time. The EAI Object Manager on the Siebel server serves REST requests, therefore you must ensure that this value doesn’t exceed the MaxTasks parameter for the EAI Object Manager. Also, you must allocate some EAI Object Manager tasks for classic EAI or SOAP requests. Consider this example: the MaxTasks parameter on EAIObjmgr_enu is 1000. This means that the EAI Object Manager has the capacity to serve 1000 parallel requests. However, if the administrator wants to load the EAI Object Manager only to 80% capacity, then the resulting number of available tasks is 800. If the administrator decides to use 75% of the EAI Object Manager capacity for REST, and the remaining 25% for classic EAI soap requests, then the value of this parameter must be set to 600, that is, 75% of 800. Furthermore, if the administrator wants to distribute the REST load between multiple AI nodes, using any load balancer, then this parameter must also be divided among the available AI nodes. For example, if the setup has four AI nodes, then the Maximum Possible Connections parameter value must be 150, that is, 600 divided by 4.
