Using Autosynchronization
The purpose of autosynchronization is to improve the overall usability of the system by increasing the frequency of synchronization sessions. Frequent synchronization decreases the volume of transactions for each session and therefore shortens the average connect time.
The Autosynchronization Agent runs in the background at scheduled times to perform automatic synchronization when connected to the network.
Follow the procedure below to invoke autosynchronization and the available options. One of the options is a synchronization reminder that prompts the user to synchronize if a specified period passes without a synchronization session.
- Verify that the local database is initialized.
- Verify that the Siebel Autosync program was added to the Windows Startup Group during the installation process.
If not, add it by copying it from the Siebel Program group. This allows the Auto Synchronization agent to start when the computer boots up.
- Log in to the local database, and navigate to User Preferences > DB Synchronization.
- Under Auto-Synchronization, define your options using the information below.
- Under Synchronization Frequency, select a frequency from the Synchronization Frequency drop-down list, then use the other fields to further define the frequency.
- Synchronization Frequency drop-down list values:
- In the Synchronization Reminder form, select the Enable Synchronization Reminder check box and select a minimum number of days from the Min Days Between Sync Sessions drop-down list to display the Synchronization Reminder dialog box when the Mobile Web Client is up and if the last synchronization was earlier than the "Minimum days between sync sessions."
This will remind the user to perform synchronization. The reminder dialog will appear with the following text: "Perform database synchronization now?" The user can respond accordingly.
