High interactivity reduces the number of page refreshes, compared to standard interactivity-when interacting with the application, browsing through records, and so on. This is made possible by making data-only updates from the Siebel Server, optimizing use of network bandwidth. For example, a high-interactivity client does not require a page refresh for creating a new record. A user creates a new record by clicking the New button. A new row is created in a list dynamically, without a page refresh. The user enters the relevant data, then clicks outside of the record ("steps off of the record") to implicitly commit the change-again, without a page refresh. Some of the features of the high-interactivity framework are:
The high-interactivity framework provides performance and usability enhancements by taking advantage of capabilities supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers. These capabilities include Document Object Model (DOM), Java, and ActiveX controls. Siebel high-interactivity clients use a Siebel-specific remote procedure call (RPC) though HTTP or HTTPS, which is the fundamental communications channel for the client. The Siebel RPC sends and retrieves data over HTTP or HTTPS to and from the Siebel Server. There are no other communication channels in the Siebel high-interactivity client. Deploying Siebel applications in high-interactivity mode requires that customers and their users adhere to strict guidelines regarding the deployed operating system, Web browser version and settings, and Java software environment. |
