Setting Up a New Siebel Remote User

Setting up a mobile Web client involves certain tasks for both the Siebel Remote server and the mobile Web client. The system administrator must repeat each of these steps for each mobile client.

A system administrator at NREC completed the entire process of setting up each mobile client. NREC decided not to rely on end users to complete the configuration because the system administrator could be more thorough and accurate in completing each task.

Setting up a new Siebel Remote user entails the following tasks:

  1. Create a mobile Web client user account and privileges. See Creating a Mobile Web Client User Account and Privileges for details.
  2. Set up mobile Web client hardware and software. See Setting Up Mobile Client Hardware and Software for details.
  3. Enable network connectivity. See Enabling Network Connectivity for details.
  4. Establish autodial preferences. See Establishing Autodial Preferences for details.
  5. Set synchronization preferences. See Setting Siebel Remote Preferences for details.
  6. Register a mobile Web client. See Registering a Mobile Client for details.
  7. Run database extract for a mobile Web client. See Running Database Extract for a Mobile Web Client for details.
  8. Initialize a mobile Web client local database. See Initializing a Mobile Web Client Local Database for details.
