Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX > Installing Siebel Mobile Web Clients > Using Siebel QuickStart with the Siebel Mobile Web ClientSiebel QuickStart is an application feature for the Siebel Mobile Web Client that, when enabled, preloads the Siebel application on a mobile user's machine at start-up, reducing the time required to launch the client. Siebel QuickStart is enabled and loaded for the first time from the Siebel application login screen. If it is enabled, it affects all subsequent login and Siebel application sessions for the same application. Siebel QuickStart has two main components:
NOTE: Siebel QuickStart can be used with the Siebel Mobile Web Client when connecting to the local database only. It does not apply to the Sample Database, and it does not apply to the Siebel Web Client or Developer Web Client. Siebel QuickStart applies to subsequent instances of the same type of Siebel application session—running the same application as the same user and with the same start-up options. Before enabling Siebel QuickStart for a different type of Siebel application session, users must disable Siebel QuickStart for an existing application session. The speed increase provided by QuickStart does not take effect on the initial Siebel login. Subsequent logins of the same type of Siebel application session benefit from QuickStart, until the user disables QuickStart. The Windows service Siebel QuickStart Service shuts down during the application session, to conserve resources. The service restarts the next time Windows is restarted. The QuickStart agent remains running during the Windows session unless the user has disabled QuickStart, as described in this topic. The QuickStart agent runs under the Local System account and stays running even if the user logs out of Windows and logs back in again, unless the user has logged out of the Siebel application and disabled QuickStart from the Siebel icon in the system tray. If Siebel QuickStart (agent) is enabled but the Windows service Siebel QuickStart Service is disabled, the Siebel application remains loaded after the user exits the application, providing quick access when the user relaunches the application. However, if the user logs out of Windows, the Siebel application does not preload when the user logs back in to Windows. The QuickStart agent runs, and remains running at least for the rest of the user's Windows session, in the following Siebel Mobile Web Client usage cases—unless the user disables QuickStart or logs out of the Siebel application. All cases apply only when Siebel QuickStart Service is set to either Automatic or Manual.
Siebel QuickStart stores the encrypted Siebel user name and password in the file mwc_storage.cfg, located in SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT\bin. Do not modify this file yourself. For more information about the encryption used in this file, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide. Enabling and Disabling Siebel QuickStartInstructions are provided in the following procedures for enabling and disabling Siebel QuickStart agent and the Windows service Siebel QuickStart Service.
To disable Siebel QuickStart from the login screen
To disable Siebel QuickStart from the system tray
To disable the Windows service Siebel QuickStart Service
Options for the Siebel Icon in the System TrayWhen the Siebel application is running or the QuickStart agent is loaded, an icon appears in the system tray. Right-clicking this icon displays several choices:
Using View Precaching with Siebel QuickStartWhen the QuickStart agent is loaded, views specified using the parameters in the [Preload] section of the configuration file, such as siebel.cfg, are preloaded (precached) during start-up of the Siebel application. In subsequent application sessions, navigating to a precached view is faster. In the [Preload] section, specify the names of the views to be precached as the values for configuration parameters named For more information about specifying configuration file parameters, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
