Modifying the Siebel Synchronize Database Behavior

You can modify the Siebel Synchronize Database behavior so that your mobile users need to navigate to the Synchronize CDA Projects screen to choose synchronization options and synchronize. After setting up the synchronization behavior according to the following method, see Using the Synchronize CDA Projects Screen.

To modify the Siebel database synchronization behavior:

• Determine which synchronization behavior you want to use.
• Select the synchronization behavior in Siebel Tools.
• Compile the SRF file.
• Expose the Synchronize CDA Projects screen if necessary.
• Distribute the SRF file to clients.

Each of these steps in explained in detail in the following sections.

To determine which of the synchronization behaviors to use

• Select from one of the following three options, depending on whether you want to use automatic synchronization (the default behavior) or one of the selective synchronization methods.
  • Download File attachments automatically (default behavior).
  • Request that file attachments are downloaded once and get them automatically thereafter.
  • Always determine whether or not file attachments are downloaded.

To change the synchronization behavior in Siebel Tools

1. Open Siebel Tools and log in as the administrator.
2. To display all the fields, select Business Components>ISSCDA Sync Projects>Fields.
3. In the Pre-Default Value column, set the values for the fields based on the behavior you decided to use in the previous procedure.

   If file attachments are downloaded automatically (default behavior), use the following values for the following fields:

   Field Name	Pre-Default Value
   ISSCDASyncAutoUpdFlg	Y
   ISSCDASyncDeferFlg	P
   ISSCDASyncDockReqFlg	N
   ISSCDASyncDockStatus	N

   If the user requests the download once and gets it automatically thereafter, use the following values for the following fields:

   Field Name	Pre-Default Value
   ISSCDASyncAutoUpdFlg	Y
   ISSCDASyncDeferFlg	R
   ISSCDASyncDockReqFlg	N
   ISSCDASyncDockStatus	N

   If the user always determines whether or not file attachments are downloaded, use the following values for the following fields:

   Field Name	Pre-Default Value
   ISSCDASyncAutoUpdFlg	N
   ISSCDASyncDeferFlg	R
   ISSCDASyncDockReqFlg	N
   ISSCDASyncDockStatus	N

To expose the Synchronize CDA Project screen

NOTE:  If you chose to have synchronization occur automatically, you do not need to expose this screen. If you chose the other options, you need to expose this screen; users go to this screen to request file attachments.

1. Start the Siebel application.
2. Log in as SADMIN on the server.
3. Select Application Administration>Views.
4. Add the "ISSCDA Synchronize View" to the existing list of views and select Local.
5. Select Application Administration>Responsibilities.
6. Add the "ISSCDA Synchronize View" to the desired responsibility.

To compile the SRF file

1. Open Siebel Tools.
2. Go to Tools>Compile.
3. Select the ISSCDA Project Manager project in the list.
4. Change the target Repository File if necessary.
5. Click Compile.

To distribute the SRF file

• Distribute the new SRF file to mobile users using the Siebel software distribution method.
