Using the Stand-Alone Synchronizer

To control a synchronization, the user can run the remote client in a third-party scheduling program that does a standalone synchronization. To choose the most convenient timing for the following actions, the user can use command line options:

• Download and upload transactions

• Apply downloaded transactions to the local database

The command line options allow the user to do these actions separately rather than requiring the user to do them together.

Note: You must use the stand-alone synchronizer only when the remote client is not in use. If a local connection to the remote client is open, and if the user uses the Siebel Remote icon to synchronize, then synchronization works successfully. However, if a new database extract exists for that user, then synchronization fails.
