Example of Extracting Databases for Multiple Users

This section describes the steps in the overall process of creating database extracts for multiple mobile Web clients. The purpose is to provide a broad perspective on the tasks involved.

It begins after installation of the Siebel application, to include registration of every user. The administrator receives the following business requirement: create database extracts for new mobile users AMARTIN, CCHENG, PSINGH and RMARLOW.

The requirement implies that to create a database extract you also need a database template. A database template is created only once. Additionally, in order to create database extracts for multiple users at the same time, you need to create a text file containing the user IDs of these mobile users. Finally, you submit the component request for creating the database extract.

The steps below outline the process for the example business requirement:

  1. Log in to your Siebel eBusiness Application as System Administrator.
  2. Create the database template by navigating to Site Map > Server Administration > Enterprise Operations > Component Requests tab.
  3. Create a new component request for Generate New Database.
  4. Submit the component request.

    5. The task of creating a database template takes a while. To check the progress of this task, go to the Components View and check the information about the status of this task.

    Upon successful creation of a database template, you will see the Components View.

  5. In order to extract databases for multiple users, create a text file called ExtractUserList.txt containing the user IDs of the new mobile users.
  6. Navigate to Enterprise Operations > Component Requests tab and define a component request for Database Extract.
  7. Enter the Component Request Parameters and submit the component request.

Once the task of creating database extract is completed, go to the directory d:\sea14010\siebsrvr\docking to see folders for AMARTIN, CCHENG, PSINGH and RMARLOW.
