Types of Dock Object

This topic describes the types of dock objects.

Private Dock Object

A private dock object is a type of dock object that routes data that cannot be configured. It makes sure that Siebel Remote never routes the rows in the dock objects to any remote user. During synchronization, Siebel Remote does the following:

  • Uploads to the Siebel Server all records from tables that are part of a private dock object.

  • Does not download any of these records to the remote user.

Enterprise Dock Object

An enterprise dock object is a type of dock object that distributes records without restriction. During synchronization, Siebel Remote uploads to the Siebel Server all records from tables that are part of an enterprise dock object. Only an administrator must update these tables. Remote users typically download these tables from the Siebel Server but they do not upload them to the server. To minimize synchronization time, you must use an enterprise dock object only with the following tables:

  • Tables that contain small amounts of data.

  • Tables that contain static data or data that Siebel CRM modifies only occasionally.

Limited Dock Object

A limited dock object is a type of dock object that contains individual rules that identify the records that Siebel Remote must download to a user. For more information, see Dock Object Visibility Rule.
