SSSE Deployment Options

The following information shows the SSSE components in relation to Siebel Server and Microsoft Exchange Server.

SSSE is composed of two separate, but related, components:

• PIM Server Integration (PIMSI) Engine and Dispatcher. Allows server-based synchronization of data between Siebel Business Applications and Microsoft Exchange. See Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server Architecture Overview.

• Siebel Outlook Add-In. Allows users to access Siebel data from within Microsoft Outlook and associate Siebel data with Outlook contact, calendar and task records. See Setting Up and Using Siebel Outlook Add-In.

You can choose to deploy SSSE with or without the Outlook Add-In.

See the following chapters for information about PIMSI Engine and PIMSI Dispatcher:

• Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server Architecture Overview

• Installing Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server

• Configuring Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server

• Administering Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server

• Using Siebel Server Sync for Microsoft Exchange Server

After you install and set up PIMSI Engine and PIMSI Dispatcher, then you can install Siebel Outlook Add-In, if you choose to do so. For more information, see Setting Up and Using Siebel Outlook Add-In.

Caution: Do not activate PIMSI workflows. The workflows that are provided in seed data are not currently used by SSSE and will cause the PIMSI Engine to fail if deployed.
