Synchronization Actions

The following table describes the synchronization actions that are available in the Siebel Remote synchronization dialog box. Depending on the database options, the list of actions in the table might be different from the list in the example in this topic. For instance, if you do not use a local database, then the dialog box might contain only the Connect to Server action.

Action	Description
Connect to server	Connects to the Siebel Server and then examines the version, schema, and database initialization. If a Local Database Initialization or an upgrade is pending, then this action downloads and applies the pending Local Database Initialization or upgrade. This action must run successfully to start the following actions: Send database modifications Get database modifications Get requested files
Send database modifications	To send the local transactions to the Siebel Server, it sends one or more DX files and associated file attachments to the server. This action displays the number of transactions that Siebel Remote must still send.
Retrieve database modifications	To get transactions from the Siebel Server, it gets one or more DX transaction files and associated file attachments from the server. The Transaction Router server component on the Siebel Server creates these files. This action displays the number of transactions that Siebel Remote must still get.
Retrieve requested files	Gets file attachments from the Siebel Server that the user requests. This action displays the number of files that Siebel Remote must still get.
Apply database modifications	Applies database modifications that Siebel Remote gets from the Siebel Server to the local database. This action displays the number of transactions that Siebel Remote must still apply.

States of the Synchronization Action

The following table describes how the check box indicates the current state of a synchronization action. To enable or disable each action, you can make sure the check box next to the action contains a check mark.

Appearance of Check Box	Description
	Enabled. The action runs when it becomes the current action in the queue of actions that Siebel Remote runs.
	Not enabled. The action runs when it becomes the current action in the queue of actions that Siebel Remote runs.
	Cannot run. The action cannot run because an action on which it depends did not or will not run.
	Finished. The action is finished.
	Skipped. Siebel Remote skipped the action.

While an action runs, you can click the check box for the action to disable it before the it finishes. If an action is running when you disable it, then the actions stops as soon as possible and synchronization continues to the next action.

The action status check boxes persist throughout the session. For example, if you start synchronization with the Apply Database Changes action disabled, then it remains disabled throughout the synchronization. If you restart the Siebel application, then the action status check boxes return to their default, enabled states.
