Disabling Local Access to All Views

If the tables associated with the business objects have limited visibility, you should not allow mobile users to use any of the All views when connected to a Siebel Remote local database. The Siebel client attempts to fix foreign key relationships when displaying data. Siebel Remote sends this change to the server database and other mobile Web clients. This will corrupt the integrity of these databases.

An example using one of the All views illustrates this behavior, which is inherent in any of the All views.

The All Opportunity List view resets the value of an opportunity's primary account to NULL if the Siebel client cannot locate the account in the local database. Siebel Remote may replicate an opportunity to a local database because the opportunity is referenced by an activity owned by the mobile user. Siebel Remote replicates the opportunity so that the Siebel client can display the opportunity's name with the activity in the Activity List view. However, Siebel Remote does not replicate the opportunity's primary account if the mobile user is not a member of the opportunity's sales team. Thus, if the mobile user employs the All Opportunity List view to display the opportunity, and the Siebel client does not find the opportunity's primary account in the local database, Siebel Remote resets the opportunity's primary account value to NULL and replicates this change to other databases.

To disable local access to the All Opportunity List view

  1. From the application-level menu, select View > Site Map > Application Administration > Views.
  2. In the Views list, select the appropriate view such as the All Opportunity List view and clear the Local Access check box.

Because this is an example that applies to All views, repeat this procedure for any of the responsibilities assigned to this user.
