Determining Factory and Worker Size

This topic provides information about determining factory and worker size for your Siebel Product Configurator deployment.

This topic is part of Siebel Product Configurator Deployment Planning.

Factory Size

As a rule, you can assume that the factory size at run time is 75% of the incremental memory used when the customizable product is instantiated.

For example, the factory size equals 75% of (Y minus X), which equals .75 times (40 minus 20), which equals 15 MB.

Worker Size

The worker size varies during run time. Generally, the worker size increases as selections are made. To size the worker, take the maximum memory observed and subtract the factory size from it.

For example, the worker size equals (Z minus X) minus the factory size, which equals (50 minus 20) minus 5, which equals 25 MB.

Object Cache Size

Because the object cache size is normally quite small (for example, 500 KB), you can ignore it in your calculations.
