Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX > Installing Siebel Web Clients and Siebel Tools > About Siebel QuickStartSiebel QuickStart is an application feature for the Siebel Mobile Web Client that, when enabled, preloads the Siebel application on a mobile user's computer at startup time, reducing the time required to start the Siebel Web Client. Siebel QuickStart is enabled and loaded for the first time from the Siebel application login screen. If it is enabled, then it affects subsequent sessions for the same application. For information about enabling and disabling Siebel QuickStart, see Enabling and Disabling Siebel QuickStart. NOTE: Siebel QuickStart can be used with the Siebel Mobile Web Client when connecting to the local database only. It does not apply to the Siebel Sample Database, and it does not apply to the Siebel Web Client or Developer Web Client. Siebel QuickStart ComponentsSiebel QuickStart has two main components:
What Does Siebel QuickStart Do?Siebel QuickStart applies to subsequent instances of the same type of Siebel application session: running the same application as the same user and with the same startup options. Before enabling Siebel QuickStart for a different type of Siebel application session, users must disable Siebel QuickStart for an existing application session. The speed increase provided by Siebel QuickStart does not take effect on the initial Siebel login. Subsequent logins of the same type of Siebel application session benefit from Siebel QuickStart, until the user disables Siebel QuickStart. The Windows service Siebel QuickStart Service shuts down during the application session, to conserve resources. The service restarts the next time Windows is restarted. The Siebel QuickStart agent remains running during the Windows session, unless the user has disabled Siebel QuickStart, as described in this topic. The Siebel QuickStart agent runs under the Local System account and stays running even if the user logs out of Windows and logs back in again, unless the user has logged out of the Siebel application and disabled Siebel QuickStart from the Siebel icon in the system tray. If the Siebel QuickStart agent is enabled but the Windows service Siebel QuickStart Service is disabled, then the Siebel application remains loaded after the user exits the application, providing quick access when the user restarts the application. However, if the user logs out of Windows, then the Siebel application does not preload when the user logs back in to Windows. Siebel QuickStart stores the encrypted Siebel user name and password in the file mwc_storage.cfg, located in When Does Siebel QuickStart Remain Running?The Siebel QuickStart agent runs and remains running at least for the rest of the user's Windows session, in the following Siebel Mobile Web Client usage cases:
NOTE: The listed cases apply only when Siebel QuickStart Service is set to either Automatic or Manual, unless the user has disabled Siebel QuickStart or logged out of the Siebel application. Options for the Siebel Icon in the System TrayWhen the Siebel application is running or the Siebel QuickStart agent is loaded, an icon appears in the system tray. Right-clicking this icon displays several choices:
Using View Precaching with Siebel QuickStartWhen the Siebel QuickStart agent is loaded, views specified using the parameters in the [Preload] section of the configuration file, such as siebel.cfg, are preloaded (precached) during startup of the Siebel application. In subsequent application sessions, navigating to a precached view is faster. In the [Preload] section, specify the names of the views to be precached as the values for configuration parameters named View1, View2, and so on. For more information about specifying configuration file parameters, see Siebel System Administration Guide. Siebel QuickStart and AutoStopDB Configuration ParameterWhen you are using Siebel QuickStart, you can also decide to set the configuration parameter AutoStopDB to FALSE for the local database. If the parameter is True, then the SQL Anywhere database engine exits when the user logs out. If it is FALSE (the default), then the database engine continues to run after the user logs out of Siebel Business Applications. The AutoStopDB parameter is specified in the [Local] section of the application configuration file, such as uagent.cfg for Siebel Call Center. Both the Siebel QuickStart feature and the ability to keep the SQL Anywhere database engine running have a similar performance benefit when the Siebel application is started and exited multiple times within the same Windows session.
