Retrieving Optional Upgrade Kits for Mobile Web Clients
This section describes how to retrieve and install an optional upgrade kit for a Mobile Web Client. Optional upgrade kits are only for client subscribers. Upgrade kits for server subscribers should always be required. NOTE: Siebel Smart Web Clients are not Siebel Anywhere subscribers.
The following procedure describes how to retrieve and install an optional kit for a Mobile Web Client. NOTE: The following procedure restarts the Mobile Web Client computer. It is recommended that users save their work and exit from other applications before starting this procedure.
To retrieve an optional kit for a Mobile Web Client
- Invoke the Mobile Web Client.
- From the application-level menu, select File > Synchronize > Database.
- In the Siebel Remote dialog box, click Synchronize.
Synchronization takes place and is complete when the opposing arrows (red and blue) in the lower-right corner of the screen disappear.
- From the application-level menu, select Navigate > Site Map > User Preferences > Component Upgrades.
- In the Component Upgrades list, select the desired upgrade component, and check the check box under the Upgrade column.
A check appears. The Status field value should be Upgrade Available for those components where optional kits are available. For information about possible values for the Status field, see Table 27.
- Click Upgrade Selected Components to display the Siebel Anywhere Kit Download dialog box, and then complete the following substeps:
- Follow the instructions in the Siebel Anywhere Kit Download dialog box to start a Siebel Remote session and retrieve the Upgrade Kit necessary to upgrade your system.
- Click OK to close the Siebel Anywhere Kit Download dialog box.
- Synchronize again as in Step 2 and Step 3 to retrieve the corresponding upgrade kits.
- Click Upgrade Selected Components again to invoke the Upgrade Wizard for the desired upgrade component.
