Enabling Incremental Synchronization for Siebel Mobile

A full data and metadata download process is always initiated from Siebel Server to a mobile device when the mobile device switches to offline mode for the first time. But when the mobile device subsequently switches to offline mode, then either a full or incremental synchronization process is initiated according to how the Siebel Mobile Always Full Sync system preference is set.

If Siebel Mobile Always Full Sync is set to N or No, then incremental synchronization is enabled and an incremental or partial data and metadata download takes place between Siebel Mobile and the mobile client whenever the mobile client sends a synchronization request to the Siebel Server.

Incremental synchronization is enabled by default for Siebel Mobile disconnected applications.

Note: Business components that are configured for full synchronization always are fully synchronized even when incremental synchronization is enabled for the application. For more information, see Configuring Business Components for Full Synchronization Always.

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

2. Navigate to the Administration - Application screen, then the System Preferences view.

3. Search for and set the Siebel Mobile Always Full Sync system preference to N or No (if not already done so).

   The default setting for Siebel Mobile Always Full Sync is N or No, which means that incremental synchronization is enabled by default for Siebel Mobile disconnected applications.

4. Configure incremental synchronization as shown in Enabling Incremental Synchronization for Siebel Mobile.
