Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide > Synchronizing the Remote Client > Synchronizing the Remote Client > About the Siebel Remote Dialog BoxThe Siebel Remote dialog box contains a list of synchronization actions that the user can set. Synchronization ActionsTable 12 describes the synchronization actions that are available in the Siebel Remote synchronization dialog box. Depending on the database options, the list of actions in the table might be different from the list in the example in this topic. For instance, if you do not use a local database, then the dialog box might contain only the Connect to Server action. States of the Synchronization ActionTable 13 describes how the checkbox indicates the current state of a synchronization action. To enable or disable each action, you can make sure the check box to the left of the action contains a check mark. While an action runs, you can click the check box for the action to disable it before it finishes. If an action is running when you disable it, then the actions stops as soon as possible and synchronization continues to the next action. The action status check boxes persist throughout the session. For example, if you start synchronization with the Apply Database Changes action disabled, then it remains disabled throughout the synchronization. If you restart the Siebel application, then the action status check boxes return to their default state, which is enabled. Item Status NoticeAn action consists of one or more items and subitems. The item status notice displays updated status information about the current action that Siebel Remote is running. For example, the following notice displays information about an item of the Connect To Server action: Initializing. . .(counting requested files) The items and subitems that display in this notice provide updated information about the synchronization for the user. On occasion, the Item Status notice might display the word Pausing for an instant, and then replace it with a static message, such as the following: Progress Indicator for Transfer Time RemainingThe progress indicator for transfer time remaining is located below the item status notice. It indicates the processing time for the item that Siebel Remote is currently processing. The progress indicator provides a reasonably accurate time estimate for an action that requires a long time to finish, such as transferring files or merging transactions. It provides less accurate estimates for an action that requires less time to finish, such as connecting to the Siebel Server or server database. Skip File ButtonThe Skip File button is active when synchronization performs an item or subitem that is not critical to the current action. Retrieving an optional attachment file is the only item that can be skipped. Clicking this button skips the current item or subitem and the current action continues. Double clicking this button creates a prompt and skips all remaining optional items for this action. Progress Indicator for Overall Transfer ProgressThis indicator monitors communication with the Siebel Server. It displays the progress toward completing the actions that require the communications line. Transfer Time Remaining NoticeThis notice contains the estimated time for completing the actions. If Siebel Remote transfers large file attachments, then the estimated time might be inaccurate. Synchronize ButtonThe Synchronize button starts synchronization. You can click this button even while synchronization is performing an action that might not be visible to the user, such as connecting to the local database or extracting local database changes. If you click Synchronize, then Siebel Remote hides the synchronization dialog box and changes the label on the button to Stop. If you click Stop, then Siebel Remote stops the synchronization. If synchronization finishes, then Siebel Remote changes the label for the button to OK. Clicking the button again hides the synchronization dialog box. Cancel and Hide Labels on the Synchronize ButtonClicking Synchronize automatically hides the synchronization dialog box unless you hold down the SHIFT key when you click Synchronize. To display a hidden dialog box, you can click the corresponding icon in the tray. If the synchronization dialog box is displayed:
