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.
