How Siebel Remote Manages the Amount of Data It Synchronizes

The following factors determine the size of the local database:

• The position and responsibilities that the remote client requires. For more information, see How Positions, Organizations, and Responsibilities Affect Access.
• The Data Routing Model. The Data Routing Model that Siebel Remote assigns to the remote client affects the amount of data that it stores in the local database.

The following benefits typically exist with a smaller local database:

• Less time required to extract and synchronize
• Improved application performance

For more information about reducing the size of the local database, you can review this guide for features that prevent Siebel Remote from synchronizing unnecessary data. For example, for information about time filtering, see Using Time Filters to Prevent Sending Old Data. For help with reducing the size of the local database, see Troubleshooting a Merge Problem.
