How Siebel Remote Uses TrickleSync to Manage Synchronization Frequency

TrickleSync is a feature that improves usability by increasing how frequently Siebel Remote synchronizes. Frequent synchronization decreases transaction volume for each session and shortens the average connect time. The user can use the DB Synchronization view of the User Preferences screen to enable or disable TrickleSync. It is recommended that the user synchronize with the Siebel Server at least daily.

The TrickleSync agent runs in the background at scheduled times to do an automatic synchronization when the remote client is connected to the network. You can enable a synchronization reminder that prompts the user to synchronize if a specified period of time expires without doing a synchronization. The user can call TrickleSync from the remote client or you can configure TrickleSync for the user. In earlier Siebel CRM versions, TrickleSync was known as autosynchronization.
