Synchronizing Indices on the Mobile Web Client

To allow synchronization of indices on the mobile client machine you must enable downloading from the Mobile Search Administration view. The user will then need to download the index files onto the mobile client machine. Do the following procedure only once for each search index.

NOTE:  The appropriate size of the index is listed in bytes in the Index Size column of the Mobile Administration screen. The index size and connection speed affects synchronizing indices.

By default the data synchronization process will not synchronize the files in the file system. When you check the Download column as described in the following procedure, you are requesting that the synchronization manager download the index files to a local machine in the next synchronization session. These files will then be stored in the file system on your local machine, and you will need to use the Uncompress command to copy them to the correct directory: Siebel\search\Local\index.

To synchronize indices on a mobile client

1. Navigate to Administration - Search > Mobile Search Administration.
2. In the Download column, check each index you would like to download to the mobile client machine.
3. Synchronize the database against the Search Server.
4. Return to the Mobile Search Administration screen.
5. From the Mobile Administration menu, choose Uncompress.
