Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide > Siebel Remote Concepts > Siebel Remote Client SoftwareThe Siebel Remote client software runs on the Siebel Mobile Web Client and manages the synchronization process between the client and the Siebel Remote server. Mobile users can start the Siebel Remote client in two ways:
The Siebel Remote client uses the TCP/IP networking protocol to communicate with the Siebel Remote server using a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), virtual private network (VPN), or a modem using dial-up networking. The Siebel Remote client connects to the Siebel Remote server; the Siebel Remote server then starts a synchronization session for the Mobile Web Client. Transactions (DX files) and file attachments are sent down to the client machine from the server and up from the client machine to the server. This synchronization process includes the following stages:
For more detailed information about how information is handled during a synchronization, see Siebel Remote Flow Diagram. CAUTION: In order to operate correctly, each Siebel Remote Client installation must be used with exactly one local database. Do not rename directories that contain Siebel Remote Client software, or attempt to use additional local databases. Do not rename or delete DX files. NOTE: Transactions are not lost after a client reextract. For information about the Save Client Transactions functionality, see Database Extraction for a Mobile Web Client. |
