Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide > Synchronizing the Remote Client > Options for Synchronizing and Starting the Remote Client >
Using the Stand-Alone Synchronizer
To control a synchronization, the user can run the remote client in a third-party scheduling program that performs stand-alone synchronization. To choose the most convenient timing for the following actions, the user can use command line options:
- Download and upload transactions
- Apply downloaded transactions to the local database
The command line options allow the user to perform these actions separately rather than requiring the user to perform them together. Using the Stand-Alone Synchronizer when the Remote Client is in Use You must use the stand-alone synchronizer only when the remote client is not in use. If a local connection to the remote client is open, and if the user uses the Siebel Remote icon to synchronize, then synchronization works successfully. If a new database extract exists for that user, then synchronization fails because it is trying to overwrite the sse_data.dbf file. This file is already in use. Downloading and Uploading Transactions without Applying Them to the Local Database
You can download and upload transactions without applying them to the local database. To download and upload transactions without applying them to the local database
- Make sure the remote client is not in use.
- Enter the following command in a command line on the remote client:
siebsync.exe /n ClientName /u UserName /p Password /p2 Password /ApplyTxns N
Applying Downloaded Transactions to the Local Database
You can apply transactions that were downloaded to the remote client during an earlier synchronization. To apply downloaded transactions to the local database
- Make sure the remote client is not in use.
- Enter the following command in a command line on the remote client:
siebsync.exe /n ClientName /u UserName /p Password /p2 Password /SendTxns N /RecvTxns N /RecvFiles N
