Configuring Application Settings for Siebel Mobile

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Siebel Server for Siebel Mobile.

Application settings are configured in the Settings view. The following application settings must be configured for all Siebel Mobile disconnected applications:

  • Purge Interval, which is set to 30 by default.

    This field specifies the duration of the Purge Interval for cleaning up the S_SD_CHG_TXN and S_DM_CHG_TXNPAR tables. These tables carry incremental data, and the volume of data continues to grow in these tables if a user fails to download data for a long time. If a user fails to download data during the Purge Interval, then all incremental data is purged by default.

    Note: When the purge interval expires, the transaction router (TxnRouter) will not track the incremental changes for that node any more and a forced full download will be triggered the next time that the user goes offline (switches to disconnected mode).

  • Default Busobj, which is used to download the business objects that are not based on any view in the Siebel Mobile disconnected application.

  • Application Directory, which is used to specify the directory where user metadata is saved. For example: hhsync\phm (on Windows) or hhsync/phm (on UNIX). Forward slash must be used for UNIX.

  • Data Extraction Component (MobileDbXtract), which is the component used for the mobile data extraction, must be created for Siebel Mobile disconnected applications. For more information, see Setting Up the Disconnected Mobile Synchronization Component Group.

    Note: The data extraction component is configured by default for Siebel ePharma Mobile so it is not necessary to configure it again for the application.

  • Enable Batch Extraction, which is used to configure batch synchronization for Siebel Mobile disconnected applications.

Use the following procedure to configure the application settings for Siebel Mobile disconnected applications.
