Component Modes

---

Components can execute tasks in one of three run modes—background, batch, or interactive.

Background mode components. Background mode components execute tasks to perform background operations for the Siebel Server. After a background mode component task starts, it runs until you explicitly stop the task, or until the Siebel Server itself is shut down.

You can manually start a background mode component by using the Siebel Server Manager. Components with a Default Tasks parameter set to a value greater than zero may start automatically when the Siebel Server is started. Examples of background mode components include Transaction Router, Replication Agent, and Workflow Monitor Agent.

Batch mode components. To start batch mode components, you need to manually start these components using the Server Manager. Siebel clients may also start these components using the Server Request Manager component. Batch mode components end after the task has been performed. Examples of batch mode components include Database Extract and Enterprise Integration Manager.
Interactive mode components. Interactive mode components start tasks automatically in response to client requests. Interactive mode component tasks execute for as long as the client maintains the session, and end when the client disconnects. Examples of interactive mode components include Synchronization Manager and Object Manager.

For a list of Siebel Server components and their associated run modes, see Siebel Server Components.
