Process Flow for Changes Made by Mobile Users

Mobile Web clients, such as Chris, use a local database to store data for user access. The local database contains Siebel eBusiness Applications tables that store user data. The local database also contains a local transaction log to store transactions created by the mobile user. Siebel Remote forwards these transactions to the Siebel Remote server when the client synchronizes.

This section provides a description of each phase of the process flow, from the time when Chris modifies the new opportunity until the time when the modifications appear in the Server database. For this example, assume that Chris is meeting with the potential new client, represented by the opportunity record entered by the telesales representative in the previous section.

The figure below illustrates this flow and includes the following groups of steps.

1. As a result of the meeting, Chris makes changes to the Opportunity record in the local database. Chris enters these changes immediately after the meeting while working offline.
2. The modified opportunity record is saved to the Opportunities table in Chris's local database.
3. The transaction record is saved to the Local Transaction log.
4. Chris synchronizes the laptop. The Siebel Remote client extracts pending transactions from the Local Transaction log into transaction files (.dx). The client then places these DX files in the outbox directory on Chris's laptop. Siebel Remote connects to the server and the DX file is sent to the server and inserted in the database as shown in Figure 47.
