Siebel Service Handheld Guide > Overview of Siebel Service Handheld > Synchronization Methods and Architecture for Siebel Handheld ApplicationsThe following methods can be used to synchronize data on the handheld device with data in the Siebel Server database: Direct Server Synchronization (DSS) and Direct Server Synchronization by Proxy (DSSvP). The architecture of these methods is discussed in the following sections. Handheld Application SynchronizationA Handheld Application Synchronization Server component that is running on the Siebel application server can accept concurrent synchronization requests from multiple synchronization clients. When connecting directly to a server, the Siebel Handheld Application Synchronization Client synchronizes its data directly to a server database. In Direct Server Synchronization mode, the Siebel Handheld Application Synchronization Client uses the HTTP (or HTTPS) protocol over a network connection to communicate with the Siebel Handheld Application Synchronization Server. Users must configure their handheld devices for communication over the desired network. Direct Server SynchronizationDirect Server Synchronization allows users to synchronize their Siebel Handheld application and database directly with the Siebel Server. The user connects the handheld device to the Siebel application server through a network connection that uses the HTTP protocol. The connection runs through a IIS Web Server to the application server, where the synchronization server components are installed and running. Direct Server Synchronization via ProxyDirect Server Synchronization via Proxy (DSSvP) allows users to synchronize their Siebel Handheld application and database directly with the Siebel Server. The user connects the handheld device to the Siebel application server through ActiveSync and the network connection established by the companion PC. The connection runs through a IIS Web Server to the application server, where the synchronization server components are installed. |
