Configurations for Using Multiple AI sidecars

To run one or more additional sidecar AI apart from the vanilla AI sidecar, follow the steps:

  1. Use Siebel Installer and SMC, like they are used for traditional AIs, for installing and configuring AIs that are to be used specifically for Event Pub-Sub feature. Use distinct names.

    For development and proof-of-concept use cases, one may recursively copy an existing traditional AI and rename the target directory.

  2. Make necessary changes for files in AI sidecars following instructions mentioned earlier. Make sure that all ports in <Sidecar AI directory>\conf\server.xml are different from all other AIs.

Log File for Event Publication and Subscription

A dedicated log file EventLogger is available for AI sidecar processes. This file can be used for debugging, alongside necessary log files in Siebel Server, AIs and Kafka.
