Purpose

The purpose of the document is to distill the functionality available for the deployment of dedicated product configurator servers with the distributed cache functionality. The functionality described within exists for the purpose of understanding the parameters involved in improving the performance of load times for customizable products in an environment where dedicated servers have been established for the sole purpose of Product Configurator and distributed cache is being used. Load time is defined as the length of time required to position the instance of a customizable product within memory for further configuration. Going forward, the term instance of a customizable product and session of a customizable product are synonymous. Further configuration of this instance may occur through the use of the UI or the use of APIs. The following key pieces of functionality are associated with the implementation of dedicated Product Configurator servers using Distributed Cache.

• Distributed cache (versions 7.5.3.5 and higher)

• File-based server definition (versions 7.5.3.5 and higher)

• Configuration server load-balancing algorithm (versions 7.5.3.5 and higher)

The versions of the Siebel application that follow each piece of functionality indicate that specific features of that functionality are available within each release. Note that the features of a release are inclusive of the previous release.

NOTE: This processes in an iterative process that needs to be managed with the product models usage.
