Extracting the Local Database

The Database Extract server component extracts data from the server database for each mobile user and temporarily store it in a compressed file. The data in this file is used to populate the user's local database during the database initialization process.

NOTE:  The mobile user must have a valid position in the organization's reporting hierarchy for the database extract to be successful. For more information about positions and organizations, see Applications Administration Guide.

For detailed information about Siebel Remote, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.
