Investigating Siebel Server availability

The availability of the Siebel eBusiness Application depends upon the availability of each Siebel server in the environment. When a Siebel server is unavailable, every enabled Siebel component assigned to that Siebel server is also unavailable. Furthermore, if a Siebel component is only assigned to one Siebel server and that Siebel server becomes unavailable, the work on those components stops. For example, if the Assignment Manager is used to assign leads from the corporate web site to the appropriate account team, and the Siebel server that runs the Assignment Manager component is unavailable, the new web leads are not assigned to an account team.
The Foglight SiebelServer Agent collects availability statistics on the Siebel server, Siebel component groups, and Siebel components assigned to the Siebel server. These availability statistics not only allow the Siebel administrator to be alerted when an availability issue is encountered, but also generate views/reports on the overall availability of the Siebel eBusiness Application environment for management.
The Foglight SiebelServer Agent calculates the Siebel server’s availability percentages.
The Siebel server’s availability is calculated as follows:
•
100 percent if the SiebelServerStatus = “Running”.
•
Zero percent for all other values.
The Siebel server’s database connection availability is calculated as follows:
•
100 percent if the Siebel server is able to log in to the Siebel database as the Siebel administrator.
•
Zero percent for all other values.
The Siebel server’s gateway server connection availability is calculated as follows:
•
100 percent if the Siebel server is able to connect to the Siebel gateway server.
•
Zero percent for all other values.

•
Open the Sieb_Srvr_Availability_Overview graph view which provides database and availability information about each Siebel server.

Purpose
The Foglight SiebelServer Agent calculates the availability of the individual Siebel components as follows:
•
If ComponentAlias = “TxnRoute” or “TxnMerge” or “TxnProc” and ComponentState = “Running” ComponentStateAvailability = 100 percent.
•
For all other components, Availability = 100 percent if ComponentState = Online or Running.
•
Zero percent for all other values.
Figure 1. Siebel Component Availability
The availability is calculated at 100 percent for the Siebel Remote components. These three components must always be running to ensure a continuous synchronization process:
•
Transaction Router.
•
Transaction Merger.
•
Transaction Processor.
If the Siebel administrator determines a Siebel component is not expected to be unavailable, the Siebel Server Manager should be used to restart the component. If the component does not restart as expected, the Component task logs can be used to diagnose why the Siebel component is not starting. Contact Siebel Support if restarting the Siebel component does not restore the component to 100 percent availability.
