Guidelines for Siebel Web Client Tuning

Consider your hardware resources and requirements carefully prior to rolling out configuration changes, to make sure that business requirements have been met and the client performs as anticipated in the design phase.

Review guidelines presented elsewhere in this book, particularly in Tuning Customer Configurations for Performance and in other relevant documents on the Siebel Bookshelf.

Ongoing testing and monitoring of your system performance is strongly recommended, because database characteristics change over time. To maintain an optimally performing system over time, you must plan for growth or other changes in your deployed application.

Activities that you perform to achieve performance and scalability goals might include the following:

• Adjusting your system topology

• Configuring the Siebel application in Siebel Tools or through other methods

• Configuring Siebel Server components, particularly the Siebel Application Object Manager

• Adjusting hardware resources available on local computers

• Adjusting operating system settings on server or client computers

• Adjusting Siebel Application Interface settings or network settings

• Setting user preferences for Siebel applications
