Enabling Modification Tracking for Application Clients

Use the following procedure to enable modification tracking for Siebel Mobile disconnected application clients.

To enable modification tracking for application clients

1. Log in to the Siebel application as a user with administrator privileges.

2. Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Mobile screen, then the Mobile Clients view.

3. Locate and select the mobile client that you want from the Mobile Clients list, then complete the following field:

   Mobile Application Name. Select the appropriate mobile application for this node.

   For information about how to configure a new client, see Configuring the Mobile Node for Siebel Mobile Users.

4. Run dbxtract (database extract) for this mobile client, and then restart txnproc and txnroute.

   After dbxtract is run, a full data and metadata download is enforced on the mobile client by Siebel Mobile when the mobile client next sends a synchronization request to the Siebel Server.

   For information about how to run dbxtract, see Running Database Extract for Siebel Mobile Users.

Note: If you remove a mobile application from the Mobile Application Name field in the Mobile Clients view and then add either the same or a new mobile application, then Siebel Mobile enforces a full data and metadata download on all corresponding mobile clients (or mobile application users) who are configured to use the mobile application, when the mobile clients next send a synchronization request to the Siebel Server. Removing a mobile application from the Mobile Clients view terminates the relationship between the mobile application and the mobile clients, and renders the application repository objects invalid. Adding a mobile application, regardless of whether the application was previously added or whether the application is new, creates a new relationship between the mobile application and the mobile clients. Hence a full data and metadata download is required.
