Dock Objects

A dock object is a logical grouping of tables that include schema structures that Siebel Remote uses to synchronize data between a server database and a local database. A routing rule belongs to a dock object.

The following table describes the types of dock objects that Siebel Remote uses.

Type	Description
Enterprise	Siebel Remote sends all the contents of the dock object to the remote client. An Enterprise dock object provides visibility to all users that exist in the Siebel application. Examples include currency and catalog. For more information, see About the Siebel Enterprise and the Siebel Enterprise Server.
Limited	Siebel Remote sends all the contents of the dock object to the remote client only if the instance is visible to the user. This data might or might not be visible to a user. Most user data is of the Limited type. A Limited dock object contains routing rules that determine the records that Siebel Remote routes to the user.
Private	Siebel Remote does not send any content from the dock object to the remote client. It does send data that a user creates on the remote client to the Siebel Server. It does not return updates to the remote client. For more information, see Controlling the Data That Siebel Remote Routes to Clients.
