Downloading a Data Layer Customization to Remote Users

After you check in extensions to your server database and apply the physical database, you can download the schema modifications to remote users.

NOTE:  For Siebel Innovation Pack 2015, the local database for Siebel Tools can use either SAP SQL Anywhere or Oracle Database XE. The local database for Siebel Mobile Web Client uses SAP SQL Anywhere. SAP SQL Anywhere is not available for new deployments after September 2015. For more detailed information on how this change affects Siebel Tools and Siebel Remote, see Siebel Release Notes on My Oracle Support for Innovation Pack 2015 (Doc ID 1996273.1).

To download a data layer customization to remote users

1. Make sure all remote users perform a full synchronization.
2. If you use Siebel Anywhere, then do the following:
   1. Create an Upgrade Kit on your Server database that includes the Siebel Database Schema as the upgrade kit component.

      For more information, see Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide.

   2. Click Activate on the Upgrade Kits View to make the upgrade kit available.
3. If you do not use Siebel Anywhere, then do the following:
   1. Log in to Siebel Tools while connected to the server database.
   2. In the Object Explorer, click Table.
   3. In the Tables list, locate the table that includes your customization.
   4. In the Tables list, click Activate.

      Siebel Tools increases the version of the custom database schema and prepares the upgrade of the remote client.

4. To recreate the template local database, run gennewdb.

   For more information, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.

5. Reextract remote clients.

   Each remote client must reinitialize the local database with the extracted data. This procedure differs depending on if you use Siebel Anywhere.

6. If you use Siebel Anywhere, then click Distribute in the Upgrade Configurations View.

   This step makes the new custom schema version available for a schema upgrade. You must manually set the Required flag. For more information, see Siebel Anywhere Administration Guide.

7. If you do not use Siebel Anywhere, then manually reextract and reinitialize all remote user databases.
