Siebel Architecture Interview Questions on Application Server Best Practices

High Availability
Use load balancing to achieve high availability of those components that support load balancing. Use hardware cluster solutions for those servers hosting components that are not load balance enabled.

Resonate Central Dispatch
Include resonate Central Dispatch if it is likely to be needed in the future, regardless of whether load balancing is required from inception.

Backup
Ensure the SRF, CFG and application specific files are secured in such a way that they can easily be reinstated should they be lost or corrupted.
The directories that are used to support Siebel Remote should be held on a resilient disk array, such as RAID-5, in addition to being secured by backup.

Benchmark Testing
It is essential to conduct performance and scalability testing of all components, including the client environment and network.

Siebel Regression Testing
Test a number of scenarios that will give rise to errors. Use results of these errors and the accompanying log files as a knowledge base to assist support personnel.

Logging
Since the volume of data can be very high, it is recommended to run production servers with minimal logging and only increase the logging level if problems are encountered.

Capacity Planning
It is recommended to continually or at least periodically monitor the resource usage of the Siebel Application server.

Siebel Automation and Procedures
Ensure that the regular maintenance and administration tasks are automated through scripts and that fully tested procedures are in place.
