Configuring System Preferences for Transaction Logging

This task is a step in Process of Configuring System Preferences for the Siebel Server.

The Enable Transaction Logging field allows you to enable or disable transaction logging.

CAUTION:  If Siebel Remote does not rebuild the dobjinst.dbf visibility database file when Transaction Logging is enabled, then remote clients might experience data discrepancy or visibility problems.

For more information, see Using Transaction Logging with EIM or Assignment Manager.

To configure system preferences for transaction logging

1. On the Siebel Server, navigate to the Administration - Siebel Remote screen, and then the Remote System Preferences view.
2. In the Remote System Preferences form, make sure the Enable Transaction Logging check box contains a check mark.
3. Restart the Transaction Processor.
4. For each active remote client, reextract and reinitialize the local database for that client to make sure that it contains data this is current.

   An active remote client is any client that contains no set End Date. This step is necessary because Siebel Remote does not route any transaction that is not logged to the remote client that otherwise receives the transaction. This situation is true even if you choose Enable Transaction Logging again.

Disabling Transaction Logging

You can disable transaction logging.

CAUTION:  Disabling Transaction Logging prevents Siebel Remote from working.

To disable transaction logging

1. Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Remote screen, and then the Remote System Preferences view.
2. In the Remote System Preferences form, make sure the Enable Transaction Logging check box does not contain a check mark.
3. Restart the Siebel Server.

Transaction Logging and Database Extract

To log modifications to the local database, you must enable transaction logging when you do a database extract.
