Configuring the Siebel Properties File

The following parameters may be found in the siebel.properties file:

  • siebel.conmgr.poolsize= min and max recommended value : Defines the number of socket connections being readily maintained per MTServer under an OM. The default value of 2 suffices for most usage requirements and tuning might be required only when issues are faced for throughput or JDB related connection failures are seen in siebel.log under \applicationcontainer_external\logs.
  • siebel.conmgr.sesstimeout= recommended value: This parameter is equivalent to the OM Task session timeout value on the Java side. This parameter need not be set for UI, REST and SOAP channels at \applicationcontainer_external, as the value is inherited from SMC and is assigned at runtime. Any setting of the parameter in the siebel.properties file will override the SMC configured session timeout and applied for all object managers being connected.

The Siebel.properties above are used from the following location:

  • \applicationcontainer_external\lib (The siebel.properties persist in an update.)

  • \applicationcontainer_external\webapps\siebel\WEB-INF\classes (The siebel.prorperties will be overwritten in an update and hence need to be backed-up before patch upgrade).
