Validating Dock Objects and Rule Definitions

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.

To verify that all dock object and rule definitions are correct

  1. Navigate to the Windows DOS command window.
  2. Type the following command from SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/bin using the parameters specified in Table 26:

    dictutl /C ODBC_DATASOURCE /U USERNAME /P PASSWORD /D TABLEOWNER /N "REPOSITORY_NAME" /A y 2> logfile.log
