Monitoring Mobile Web Client Status


You can use views in the Administration - Siebel Remote screen to monitor the status and progress of Mobile Web Clients. This topic discusses the following views:

  • Client Status View
  • Client Diagnostics View
  • Synchronization Sessions View
  • Upload Statistics View
  • Download Statistics View

Using the Client Status View

The Client Status view displays the current status of Mobile Web Clients, including:

  • The last time each Mobile Web Client synchronized
  • The product versions on each Mobile Web Client
  • The last time each Mobile Web Client was extracted and initialized
  • Free Disk (Bytes)

Siebel Remote updates the data in this screen at the start and end of each synchronization session. However, the data in this screen is not updated in the following two cases:

  • During an initialization

    The Free Disk (Bytes) field will also be reset to zero during dbxtract.

  • After applying changes to the client database, if those changes are applied after data transfers are complete

In both cases, the actions occur after the Mobile Web Client disconnects from the server. Therefore, the data in the status screen is not updated until the next synchronization session. At that time, users can check this information to help avoid running out of disk space on their laptops.

When using Siebel Anywhere, the following occurs: the Product Versions field is not populated until the Mobile Web Client upgrades to another version. Once the upgrade is complete, the Product Versions field is updated with the version information after the next synchronization session.

To use the Client Status view

  1. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Siebel Remote.
  2. In the link bar, select Client Status.
  3. In the Mobile Clients/Replication Servers list, select the Mobile Web Client that you want to monitor.

    The fields in the Siebel Remote Client Status form provide details about the status.

Using the Synchronization Sessions View

The Synchronization Sessions view displays information about every mobile user and each user's synchronization session for a given period of time. This can be accessed only by the Systems Administrator.

To use the Synchronization Sessions view

  1. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Siebel Remote.
  2. In the link bar, select Synchronization Sessions.
  3. In the Synchronization Period form, select the time frame for the period of time you are investigating.
  4. In the Mobile Users list, select the Mobile Web Client that you want to examine.
  5. In the Synchronization Sessions list, run a query using the appropriate values for the fields.

    See Table 19 for descriptions of the fields in this list.

Information displayed on the form and two list applets includes:
