Last updated on AUGUST 10, 2023

Applies to:

Siebel CRM - Version 17.0 [IP2017] and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.






Goal

The goal of this document is to provide insight to general sizing requirements around the deployment of tomcat and Siebel Gateway in Siebel IP17 and above, and recommendations to address or mitigate certain issues surrounding the instability of tomcat prior to 8.5.23 and Gateway memory leak post Siebel 18.5.

We encourage Siebel customers to consider 19.1 or later releases, if possible. Siebel Updates are cumulative; the recommendation is applying the latest update available that contains the fixes for both issues.
