Using the Administrative Interface to Administer Server Components

This topic describes how to use the administrative interface to administer server components for Siebel Remote. Components in the following component groups start automatically when you start the Siebel Server, where the component groups mentioned have been enabled:

• The Siebel Remote component group (alias Remote) includes server components that Siebel Remote requires. For a list of these components, see Server Components That Siebel Remote Uses.
• The Disconnected Mobile Synchronization component group (alias MobileSync) includes server components that Siebel Remote requires. For a list of these components, see Server Components That Siebel Remote Uses.

NOTE:  If the Status of the Transaction Router or Transaction Merger component is Enabled, then the component automatically starts one task when the Siebel Server starts. If the Status of the Transaction Processor component is Enabled, then the component automatically starts one task after the first DBXtract task has completed and you have restarted the server (unless you start the task manually). To examine the Status, you can navigate to the Components view of the Administration - Server Configuration, and then the Servers screen. If necessary, use Columns Displayed to expose the Status field. For more information, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

To use the administrative interface to administer server components

1. Make sure the Siebel Server is up and running.

   You cannot manually start the Transaction Processor, Transaction Router, or Transaction Merger server components through the GUI Server Manager unless the Siebel Server is running.

2. Optional. Turn on event logging.

   For more information, see Using Event Logging with Server Components.

3. Navigate to the Administration - Server Management screen, Servers, and then the Component Groups view.
4. In the Component Groups list, query the Name field for Siebel Remote or Disconnected Mobile Synchronization.
5. To determine the state of the server component you must administer, examine the following field in the Components list:

   State (Icon)

   The State (Icon) field indicates whether the component is Online, Paused, or Shutdown.

6. To administer the server component, click a button in the Components list.

   You can resume, pause, startup, or shutdown the server component. If you click Startup, then a new task for the server component starts.

7. Optional. Configure start-up parameters for the server component.

   For more information, see Configuring Server Components for Synchronization and Transactions.

8. To administer more server components, repeat Step 5 through Step 7 for each component.
