Generate New Database

---

The Generate New Database component creates the local database template for a given database schema version. The component reads the database schema definition from the Siebel repository, then creates Siebel tables and indexes in a database template file stored on the Siebel Remote server in the dbtempl subdirectory.

The Local Database Initialization program uses the local database template when initializing a new database on the Mobile Web Client.

NOTE:  Dicdata.dat and diccache.dat are the same dictionary file. Dicdata.dat is named differently for Mobile Web Clients. These files store metadata about schema definitions, vis-rules, and other items.

The Generate New Database component copies diccache.dat to the dbtempl\\dicdata.dat file. The dicdata.dat file is downloaded to Mobile Web Clients and used by the synchronization process whenever transactions are applied to the local database.

If you need to interchange the dicdata.dat file between Mobile Web Clients for different languages, contact Siebel Technical Support to determine if the languages are interchangeable.

Administration of the Generate New Database Component

You must generate a new database template whenever the Siebel database schema changes in cases such as:

• Immediately upon installing the Siebel database server
• Following an upgrade to a new version of Siebel applications
• Extending the database schema using Siebel Tools—except when using Siebel Anywhere to deliver a database schema upgrade kit

If your deployment requires a different collation template not provided by Siebel eBusiness Applications, please contact Siebel Expert Services for assistance in creating a new collation template.

Optimal Size for Local Databases

The recommended size for the SQL Anywhere local database depends upon several factors. These include the Mobile Web Client user's position and responsibilities. Also, the Data Routing Model assigned to the client impacts the volume of data to be stored in the local database. The local database should not be larger than 700 MB. For further information on this subject, or if a local database will exceed this number, contact Siebel Systems.
