The Oracle Enterprise Manager Applications Management team is pleased to announce the release of their latest whitepaper (available here) and associated screenwatch (available here) on configuration management for Siebel.
The task of managing configuration parameters in a dynamic, multi-target environment can be extremely challenging. A large, production scale environment can have dozens of unique targets, and each target can have several hundred different configuration parameters.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c, with the Siebel Plug-in, provides advanced, out-of-the-box tools to manage the complexity of Siebel configuration management. Oracle Enterprise Manager has advanced configuration capture, change detection, and comparison reporting capabilities that can dramatically reduce the amount of time that System Administrators spend on configuration management.
The purpose of the whitepaper and screenwatch is to provide customers with details on Oracle’s Best Practices for managing Siebel Configurations. It addresses several key areas including;
- Understanding comparison templates in Oracle Enterprise Manager
- Creating configuration templates for Siebel servers, components groups, and components
- Using configuration templates to compare Siebel servers
- Analysis of configuration comparison results
- Using configuration templates for Siebel patch analysis
The benefits of using configuration templates to manage Siebel applications are substantial, and include:
- Easily compare configuration parameters for targets within a Siebel Enterprise, or between two different Siebel Enterprises
- Easily compare configuration parameters for a Siebel target against a gold standard or baseline.
- Define comparison reports once and re-run multiple times
We hope this white paper and screenwatch help to provide you with a good starting point to manage your Siebel Application configurations more efficiently and pro-actively.
