About Server Component Groups

Component groups are functional areas that involve logical groupings of Siebel Server components and multiple operating system processes. A component group consists of one or more components, which might be running in one or more operating system processes. Component groups act as:

• The unit of deployment on, or assignment to, a Siebel Server. In general, you include in a Siebel Server the group of components that are deployed on one or more servers.

• A unit for monitoring functionality of the interrelated components within the group (you can get a summary of the operational status at the component group, which is determined by the individual states of the constituent components).

• A unit of control allowing you, in a single step, to make available or unavailable several interrelated components, such as those included in the Siebel Remote or Workflow Management component groups.

Siebel CRM provides several predefined component groups. For a list of the components contained within each component group, see Siebel Server Component Groups. For information about creating your own component groups, see Creating a Custom Siebel Server Component Group.
