Synchronization Parameters

---

The configuration parameters that Siebel Remote uses for synchronization include:

• ClientRootDir. Name of the Siebel client installation directory.
• DockConnString. Logical network address of the Siebel Server to which you want to connect for synchronization. It is recommended that every synchronization session occur within the corporate firewall. If your deployment must support synchronization through the Internet from outside the firewall, VPN is a good alternative. If this is the environment, the port for synchronizing with your server must be opened on your firewall. Also make sure your Internet Service Provider (ISP) does not block communication to this particular port. This parameter has the following format:

  siebel server name:network protocol:sync port #: service:encryption:compression

  where:

  • logical siebel server name = logical network address of the Siebel Server to which you want to connect for synchronization.
  • network protocol = the name of the networking protocol to use. TCPIP is the only valid value and is the default value.
  • sync port # = the TCP/IP port number dedicated to the Synchronization Manager. The default value is 40400 if nothing is specified.

    NOTE:  You can use the Siebel Server Administration screens to override the default value by specifying a value for the Synchronization Manager (SynchMgr) component's SyncPort parameter and restarting the Siebel Server. You can also specify this port number as a command-line option when starting the Siebel Server. If you change this value, the CFG file must also be updated.

  • service = the TCP/IP service you are requesting. SMI is the only valid value and is the default value.
  • encryption = the encryption package you are using. The encryption facility must match the type used by the server. Both MSCRYPTO and RSA are supported.

    Examples of valid values are:

  SIEBAPP1:TCPIP:40400:SMI:RSA

  SIEBAPP1:TCPIP:9000

  SIEBAPP1

• DockRepositoryName. Name of the Siebel repository that you are currently using. This parameter must have the same value as the Siebel Server repository.
• TableOwner. Name of the database account on the local database where the Siebel schema is installed. Default is SIEBEL.
• DockTxnsPerCommit. Number of transactions that Siebel Remote applies to the local database before performing a commit. You should set this configuration parameter to a value that satisfies the needs at your site. The default is 500.
