Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide > Configuring and Using Mobile Web Client > User Synchronization Options for Mobile Web ClientThis section describes some user synchronization options supported by Siebel Remote and Siebel Mobile Web Client in the Siebel Remote synchronization dialog box and in the Synchronization Parameters section of the User Preferences > DB Synchronization view. Siebel Remote Synchronization Dialog BoxThe Siebel Remote synchronization dialog box shown in Figure 9 contains a list of synchronization actions. This dialog box appears when you choose File > Synchronize Database in a Siebel application or when you run the stand-alone synchronizer. Depending on your database options, the list may appear different from that in the example. For instance, if you do not have a local database, the dialog box may contain only the Connect to Server action. Synchronization ActionsThis section describes the available synchronization actions in the Siebel Remote synchronization dialog box.
Synchronization Action StatesIn the Siebel Remote synchronization dialog box, you can enable or disable each action by checking the check box to the left of the action. Explanations of the possible check box states are shown below: While an action is running, you can click the check box for the action to disable it before the action has finished. If an action is running when you disable it, it stops as soon as possible, and synchronization continues with the next action. The action status check boxes persist throughout the session. If you start synchronization with the option Apply database changes disabled, it remains disabled throughout synchronization. If you restart Siebel applications, the action status check boxes return to their default state (enabled). Item Status FieldThe word pausing appears in the Item Status field. Actions are made up of one or more items and may be hidden. The items (and sub-items) that appear in this field update the synchronization status for the user. Below the Item Status field is the item progress indicator, which indicates the remaining processing time for the item. The progress indicator provides reasonably accurate time estimates for long-running items, such as transferring files or merging transactions, but less accurate estimates for short-running items, such as connecting to the server or database. Skip File ButtonThe Skip File button is enabled whenever synchronization is performing an item or sub-item that is not critical to the current action. Retrieving an optional attachment file is the only action that can be skipped. Clicking this button skips the current item or sub-item, and the current action continues. Double-clicking this button generates a prompt and skips all remaining optional items for this action. Overall Transfer Progress PanelThis panel appears when communications with the server are active. The progress indicator displays the progress toward completing the actions that require the communications line. Transfer Time Remaining FieldThis field contains the estimated time for completing the actions. NOTE: The estimated time may be inaccurate when large attachment files are transferred. Synchronize/Stop Command ButtonThe Synchronize button starts synchronization. You can click this button even while synchronization is still performing hidden actions, such as connecting to the local database and extracting local database changes. When you click this button, the synchronization dialog box is hidden (unless SHIFT is held down), and the label on the button changes to Stop. Clicking the button again (Stop) stops synchronization if it is still running. When synchronization finishes, the button changes to OK. Clicking the button again hides the synchronization dialog box. If the dialog box is hidden while synchronization is running, invoking synchronization redisplays the dialog box. If synchronization is finished, invoking synchronization resets and redisplays the dialog box. Cancel/Hide ButtonClicking the Synchronize button automatically hides the synchronization dialog box, unless you hold down SHIFT when you click the button. If the dialog box is hidden, you can redisplay it by clicking the corresponding icon in the system tray. If the synchronization dialog box is displayed:
Synchronization Parameters in User PreferencesNavigating to User Preferences > DB Synchronization displays the following Synchronization Parameters settings. The two File options control which files to synchronize. File options can be changed while synchronization is running.
