Initializing the Local Database
This process is a step in Roadmap for Implementing Siebel Remote.
This topic describes the following ways to initialize the local database:
For options, see Options for Initializing the Local Database.
If you configure Siebel Remote to extract a database for a remote client, then you must initialize the local database so that Siebel Remote can exchange data exchange between this client and the Siebel Server. This includes uploading any local database modifications. Siebel Remote must download a substantial amount of information from the Siebel Server when it initializes a local database. It is strongly recommended that you create a LAN connection rather than using a WAN or VPN connection between the server and the remote client.
You can also initialize the local database from a CD-ROM or other media. For more information, see Extracting a Database to a CD-ROM or Other Portable Media.
