Setting Tasks to Start Automatically for the Replication Agent when the Siebel Server Starts

Beginning with Siebel CRM version 7.5, although Replication Agent starts automatically when the Siebel Server starts, it starts with zero tasks, by default. To cause the Siebel Server to automatically start tasks for Replication Agent when the Siebel Server starts, you can modify the Default Tasks parameter to 1. For more information, see Siebel System Administration Guide.
