Setting Up Your Siebel Server Software for Siebel CTI

Deploying Siebel Communications Server for Siebel CTI requires that you enable and run the following Siebel Server components:

  • The Application Object Manager component for your Siebel application, which supports user sessions in the Siebel Web Client. For example, you might be running instances of the Application Object Manager for Siebel Call Center for the languages that you require.

  • Server Request Broker and Server Request Processor, which coordinate communications activities between instances of the Application Object Manager and instances of the Siebel Communications Server components. Server Request Broker and Server Request Processor are automatically enabled for each Siebel Server.

  • Siebel Communications Server components (in the Communications Management component group):

    • Communications Session Manager (alias CommSessionMgr)

    • Communications Configuration Manager (alias CommConfigMgr) (optional)

Some minimal configuration of the preceding components might also be necessary. For more information about the architecture of and administering Siebel Communications Server, see Siebel CTI Administration Guide and also Siebel System Administration Guide. For information about the Siebel Communications Server components that are used by Siebel Email Response and by other outbound communications features, see Siebel Email Administration Guide.
