Local Database

Two local database template files are provided with Siebel CRM for use with Siebel Remote. These templates provide the starting point to generate your own database template:

  • sse_utf8.dbf. A template that is not encrypted.

  • sse_encr.dbf. A template that is encrypted with standard Sybase encryption.

By default, the template that defines the local database schema is not encrypted. It is recommended that you use the encrypted local database template to encrypt the entire local database, thereby providing a layer of security against unauthorized access to the local database.

To use an encrypted database template for mobile clients, the Generate New Database and Database Extract tasks must be configured and run using the sse_encr.dbf template. For information, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.
