Setting Extract Start Dates for Users

During the initial extract process when Siebel data and Microsoft Exchange Server data for a user is first synchronized, the value of the Extract Start Date parameter determines the date of the oldest appointments and tasks that SSSE synchronizes. The administrator can specify:

• An extract start date for an individual user

• A system-wide extract start date that applies to all users for whom individual extract start dates are not specified

If you do not specify a system-wide or an individual extract start date, then all of a user’s records are synchronized during the initial extract process.

Note: The Extract Start Date parameter applies to initial extracts and to ongoing extract cycles. After the initial extract, if a user edits a task record or a calendar record in Microsoft Outlook, then it is synchronized to the Siebel application only if it has a completion date after the Extract Start Date.
