Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide > Setting Up Mobile Web Clients >

Setting Synchronization Preferences

This section describes synchronization preferences. The Siebel Remote client reads configuration parameters in the Siebel configuration file (default is siebel.cfg) to specify the location of the Siebel Server directories, the Siebel File Server directories, and the Siebel Database installation. If a different CFG file is used, the shortcut created by the Installer should be changed.

Before using Siebel Remote, you must set the values for the configuration parameters. The Siebel installation utility creates a siebel.cfg in the client bin directory with default values for each configuration parameter.

If synchronization is performed within the application, that is, using File > Synchronize > Database, configuration information is read from the CFG file of that particular application. For example, if Siebel Call Center is used, then configuration information is read from uagent.cfg.

Siebel 7.5 includes an autosynchronization option to help maintain the frequency of synchronization. Frequent synchronization by mobile users can improve the performance of the system. After initializing their local database, mobile users enable or disable autosynchronization from User Preferences > DB Synchronization. For more information, see Using Autosynchronization.
