How to enable Remote Product Configurator

Siebel Configurator provides a dynamically-generated, data-driven user interface to represent complex product structures. In the standard application, this operation occurs via the customize button on the quote/order/asset applets and via steps in the order management workflows

For better speed and performance, Configurator can be set on a different server other than the Siebel Server.
