Siebel Component synchronization

When to do synchronization?

You need to synchronize batch-mode Siebel Server components between the Siebel Gateway Name Server and the database whenever you:

§     Create new component definitions

§     Modify existing batch-mode component definitions

§     Delete Siebel Server components

§     Enable Siebel Server components

§     Disable Siebel Server components

Why to synchronize?

For batch mode components to function properly they should have their definitions available in S_SRM_ACTION and S_SRM_ACT_PARAM tables. When we synchronize any batch mode component, Siebel flushes definition of that particular batch mode component from siebns.dat file to S_SRM_ACTION and S_SRM_ACT_PARAM tables. 

How to synchronize?
