Initializing a Mobile Web Client Local Database

The volume of information that must be downloaded from the Siebel Remote server to initialize a mobile Web client's database is usually substantial. You should establish a LAN (rather than a modem or WAN) connection between the server and the mobile Web client for this process.

Alternatively, the local database can be initialized from a CD-ROM or other media—if compressed files have been copied into the folder specified as FileSystem parameter. For more information about extracting to a CD, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.

NOTE: To initialize a mobile Web client database, the TableOwner parameter in the CFG file must be set to Siebel (the default).

To initialize the mobile Web client database

Establish a connection between the Siebel Remote server and Kate Strong's laptop.

In the mobile Web client's Siebel program group, click the Siebel Remote icon.

NOTE: Verify that the icon is pointing to the appropriate CFG file. The default is siebel.cfg.

In the Siebel Remote Parameters dialog box, enter the following information in the appropriate fields:

Field

Entry

Client Name

KSTRONG (registered Siebel client name).

User Name

KSTRONG (login name).

Password

KSTRONG (If an authenticator password was assigned, enter that instead of KSTRONG).

Click Continue.

Monitor the process for errors.

To initialize the mobile client database during login

Log in to the local database when starting the application. When Siebel eBusiness Applications cannot find a local database, it will attempt to initialize the local database. Follow the prompts.

After the initialization completes, Kate Strong's laptop is ready for use in the field. Kate Strong will need to resynchronize with the Siebel Remote Server on a frequent basis. Instructions for this process are included in the next section, Synchronizing a Mobile Web Client. There is an auto synchronization option to help maintain the frequency of synchronization.

Field	Entry
Client Name	KSTRONG (registered Siebel client name).
User Name	KSTRONG (login name).
Password	KSTRONG (If an authenticator password was assigned, enter that instead of KSTRONG).
