ETL Alignment Version

See Siebel Data Warehouse Installation and Administration Guide.

ETL Analysis End

ETL Analysis Start

ETL Date Format

ETL Date format indicates the way dates need to be interpreted. The other two parameters mention the date range for which the Exchange Rates will be adjusted. This does not indicate that only the data created within this range will be extracted. Select the earliest date for the Analysis Start Date—that is, when the transactions may have begun. In addition to considering the created and modified dates, consider other relevant dates such as order date. Setting this to an early value such as 19700101 (January 1, 1970) does not affect the processing time. A similar logic applies for choosing Analysis End Date. Note that the values need to be entered in the format defined by ETL Date Format.

Default Analysis End: 20101231

Default Analysis Start: 19940101

Default Date Format: YYYYMMDD

ETL Base Exchange Currency

Currency in which all the financial data will be converted. While the OLTP supports transactions in many different currencies, the data in the OLAP is converted to a single currency for analysis purposes. The Exchange rates are derived from the Exchange Rates table in the OLTP.

Default: USD

ETL Default Continent

Value for any address that does not have Continent defined. Set this to a value, which will be used if the value of Continent is not defined in the OLTP.

Default: North America

ETL Default Country

Value for any address that does not have the Country defined. Set this to a value, which will be used if the value of Country is not defined in the OLTP.

Default: USA

ETL Default Currency

Value for currency code that will be used if the currency code for a specific financial transaction is not set.

Default: USA

ETL Default Language

Language code used when language translation occurs when looking up the List of Values table.

Default: ENU

ETL LOV Maximum Value

ETL LOV Minimum Value

In some fields, bucketing of values happens. Instead of saying the number of employees at an account is 45, 96, the values can be bucketed to 0-50, 50-100 and so on. In the List of Values, if the minimum and maximum values are not specified, the values of these parameters will be used.

Defaults: 9999999999 and 0

ETL Unknown Exchange Rate

Value used when an exchange rate for a currency to the Datamart Default Currency is undefined in the OLTP.

Default: 1

Universal Time Coordinated

Turns on global time zone support for the entire system. Set this preference to TRUE to enable global time zone support. The default setting is TRUE.

NOTE:  This is a one-time setting. Once you have turned on global time zone support in a production environment, you should not turn it off.

If you intend to operate your deployment with the Global Time Zone feature enabled, you must also set the operating system of your database servers to UTC time, or its equivalent. Failure to set the OS to UTC when the UTC parameter is set to TRUE will result in asynchronous server request errors.

For more information on enabling Global Time Zone, see Global Deployment Guide. Although enabling this feature is optional, it is strongly recommended that you operate your production environment with Global Time Zone enabled.
