Direct Server Sync (DSS)
Direct Server Sync (DSS) allows users to synchronize the Siebel Handheld application and database
directly with the Siebel application running on the server through any supported network connection.
A Siebel Handheld user can connect to a central system to exchange data and keep synchronized
using a dial-up modem or network card. For DSS users, the Siebel Handheld for Windows-Powered
synchronization components must be installed and activated on the Siebel Server. The supported
server operating systems and Web servers are listed in Table 37 and Table 38.
Direct Server Sync via Proxy (DSSvP)
Direct Server Sync via Proxy (DSSvP) also allows users to synchronize the Siebel Handheld
application and database directly with the Siebel application running on the server through the proxy
network connection established by the companion PC. DSSvP is only supported with the PPC 2002
handheld operating system. For DSSvP users, the Siebel Handheld for Windows-Powered
synchronization components must be installed and activated on the Siebel Server. The supported
server operating systems and Web servers are the same as those for DSS and are listed in Table 37
and Table 38.
