Direct Server Sync (DSS)

Direct Server Sync (DSS) allows users to synchronize the Siebel Handheld application and database directly with the Siebel application running on the server through any supported network connection. A Siebel Handheld user can connect to a central system to exchange data and keep synchronized using a dial-up modem or network card. For DSS users, the Siebel Handheld for Windows-Powered synchronization components must be installed and activated on the Siebel Server. The supported server operating systems and Web servers are listed in Table 37 and Table 38.
