Creating a New Empty Database File

Two local database template files are provided with your Siebel application:

• sse_utf8.dbf is an unencrypted template.
• sse_encr.dbf is a template that is encrypted with standard Sybase encryption.

Both templates are created with Unicode encoding. Every collating sequence can be supported. The sorting sequence for the application is configured using the SortCollation parameter in the CFG file. If the parameter is not specified, the application will sort using the Unicode multilingual collation order.

NOTE:  Some previous versions of Siebel Remote supported the creation of new empty database files through the use of a utility called dbinit, which was designed for use with SQL Anywhere databases. Siebel Systems no longer supports the use of this dbinit utility.

Encrypting the Local Database

By default, the template that defines the local database schema is unencrypted. You can use an encrypted local database template to provide a layer of security against unauthorized access to the local database.

You must run the server component Generate New Database whenever you change the schema of the Siebel database. When you run Generate New Database, you can opt to use a template for the local database that uses standard Sybase encryption.

To use the encrypted local database template, the parameters that specify the SQL Anywhere database template file for the Generate New Database and Database Extract server components must have the same value.

• Generate New Database. The SQL Anywhere Database parameter must have the value sse_encr.dbf.
• Database Extract. For subsequent database extracts that employ the encrypted template, the Database template file name parameter must have the value sse_encr.dbf.

For information about generating a new database template, see Running the Generate New Database Component.

For information about doing a database extract, see Extracting Databases for Mobile Web Clients.
