Topology Considerations for Siebel Product Configurator

This topic describes considerations for defining the topology for Siebel Product Configurator server-based deployments. There are two major topology approaches to deploying Siebel Product Configurator:

• Running Siebel Product Configurator in the Siebel Application Object Manager component. For more information, see Running Siebel Product Configurator in the Siebel Application Object Manager Component.

• Running the Siebel Product Configuration Object Manager component on one or more dedicated Siebel Servers intended to run only Siebel Product Configurator. (Dedicated servers are sometimes referred to as remote servers, because they are remote to the computer on which Siebel Application Object Manager is running. In general, this chapter uses the term dedicated servers.) For more information, see Running Siebel Product Configurator on Dedicated Servers.

  For configuration information for this option, see Configuring Siebel Application Object Manager for Dedicated Siebel Product Configurator Deployments.

The optimal deployment approach for Siebel Product Configurator, and the optimal number of server computers that you require for this module, depends on factors such as those described in Performance Factors for Siebel Product Configurator. See also Siebel Product Configurator Infrastructure.
