Abstract
This paper discusses the performance optimization of a complete Siebel enterprise solution on the Sun platform. The article covers tuning for the Solaris Operating System, Siebel software, Oracle database server, Sun StorEdge products, and Sun Java System Web Server. We also discuss unique features of the Solaris OS that reduce risk while helping to improve the performance and stability of Siebel applications. All of the techniques described here are lessons learned from a series of performance tuning studies that were conducted under the auspices of the Siebel Platform Sizing and Performance Program (PSPP).
Introduction
To ensure that the most demanding global enterprise customers can meet their deployment requirements, engineers from Siebel Systems and Sun are working jointly on several engineering projects. Their common goal is to further enhance Siebel server performance on Sun's highly scalable Solaris OS. This article is an effort to document and spread knowledge of tuning and optimizing Siebel 7 eBusiness Applications Suite on the Solaris platform. All of the techniques discussed here are lessons learned from a series of performance tuning studies conducted under the auspices of the Siebel Platform Sizing and Performance Program (PSPP). The tests conducted under this program are based on real-world scenarios derived from Siebel Systems customers, which reflect some of the most frequently used and most critical components of the Siebel eBusiness Applications Suite. This article also provides tips and best practices -- based on our experience -- for field staff, benchmark engineers, system administrators, and customers who are interested in achieving optimal performance and scalability with their Siebel on Sun installations. The following areas are addressed in this paper:
The performance and scalability testing was conducted at Sun's Enterprise Technology Center (ETC) in Menlo Park, California, by Sun's Market Development Engineering (MDE) with assistance from Siebel Systems. The ETC is a massive, distributed testing facility packing more computer power than many Fortune 1000 corporations. A facility of this magnitude provides the resources needed to test the limits of software on a much greater scale than most enterprises will ever require. Download the document as PDF. Contents
