Synchronization Manager Server Component

The Siebel Server starts a task for the Synchronization Manager server component (alias SynchMgr) for each incoming synchronization request that it receives from a remote client. This task does the following work for each request:

• Verifies the status and credentials of the remote client, provided that authentication for Siebel Remote is enabled. Credentials include user ID and password.

• Transfers the local database template and local database extract, if applicable.

• Exchanges transaction files.

• Transfers file attachments to and from the Siebel File Server.

Each Synchronization Manager task services only one remote client at any one time. The Siebel Server can run multiple synchronization tasks concurrently. You can use the Max Task parameter of the Synchronization Manager server component to configure this behavior. You must configure the Synchronization Manager for the user to allow the remote client to connect to the Siebel Server. Siebel Remote starts tasks for Synchronization Manager automatically. It is not necessary for you to manually start these tasks.

The Siebel File System parameter of the Synchronization Manager server component identifies the location of the file system for the remote client.
