Validating Dock Objects and Rule Definitions


Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: Production environment only.

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See How to Perform the Upgrade.

Changes to visibility rules and dock objects require the assistance of Siebel Technical Support or Siebel Expert Services.

If you deploy Siebel eBusiness applications to mobile users with local databases, you can run the DICTUTL utility to verify that all dock objects and rule definitions are correct. Dock objects allow mobile users to synchronize their local databases with the Siebel Server. Rules determine which data users synchronize. For more information about dock objects and rules, see Siebel Tools Online Help and Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.
