Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide > Extracting Databases for Mobile Web Clients > Database Extraction for a Mobile Web Client > Performing a Database Extract to a CD DirectoryBy default, a database extract stores the compressed file on the Siebel Remote server. Users log on to the Siebel Remote server to download data to initialize their local databases. However, a database extract can also store the compressed file in a directory that you specify in the database extract parameters. This allows you to copy the compressed database file from the specified directory and then make an image of the files on a CD-ROM or other media device, which you can then distribute to users. Mobile users can initialize their local databases directly from the CD-ROM rather than having to download to the Siebel Remote server. NOTE: The user still needs a network connection for this method. Remote clients still need to synchronize before retrieving a database extract from the CD-ROM. Beginning with Siebel release 7.7, a new parameter in the Mobile Web Client's configuration (.cfg) file specifies the directory that will be used to store files to download for the initialization of the client's local database. You may need to change the value of this parameter if you want a Mobile Web Client to initialize a local database from a CD-ROM or a directory other than the default location on the Siebel Remote Server. The new parameter is DbinitLocalSource, located in the [Local] section of the client's .cfg file. In previous releases, the FileSystem parameter was used for this purpose. Beginning with release 7.7, any FileSystem parameter in the [Local] section of a Mobile Web Client's .cfg file will be ignored. NOTE: It is possible to extract groups of users simultaneously. Therefore, it is possible to use one CD for more than one user. The names of the files contain the client_names. To perform a database extract to a CD directory
