Setting Siebel Remote Preferences

NREC is using the default settings for the Siebel Remote parameters established during installation in the client configuration file. Thus, there are no tasks for setting remote preferences.

Setting Synchronization Options

The Siebel Remote client reads configuration parameters in the Siebel configuration file (default is siebel.cfg) to specify the location of the Siebel Server. Before using Siebel Remote, you must set the values for the configuration parameters. The Siebel installation utility creates a siebel.cfg in the client bin directory with default values for each configuration parameter.

When Chris Strong and other NREC mobile users perform synchronization within the application, that is, using File > Synchronize > Database, configuration information is read from the CFG file of that particular application. For example, if Siebel Call Center is used, then configuration information is read from the uagent.cfg.
