Adding Object Managers for Siebel Mobile Applications

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Siebel Mobile Connected Applications and is required if deploying your Siebel Mobile application in a new language. 

The following procedure shows you how to run the new_compdef_sia script to add new object managers for Siebel Mobile applications. Run new_compdef_sia on all Siebel Servers that must support Siebel Mobile applications. Run new_compdef_sia once for each language that must support Siebel Mobile applications. Running the script adds the Siebel Application Object Managers for Siebel Mobile applications that are in the HandheldSync and HandheldSyncSIS component groups. 

For new installations of Siebel Mobile applications, the Siebel Application Object Managers are created by default in the language selected during Siebel CRM installation. For example, if ENU is the language selected, then the Siebel Application Object Managers shown in Table 5 are automatically added for ENU so it is not necessary to add them again. However, if you want to run your Siebel Mobile applications subsequently in a new language, then you must run new_compdef_sia for each language that must be supported, as shown in the following procedure.
