Analytics Job Manager iBots Tab


Siebel iBots are functionally a combination of data stored in Siebel Analytics Web and on Siebel Analytics Scheduler. The fields in the Job Manager iBots tab describe the behavior of all Siebel iBots that run on a specific Siebel Analytics Scheduler. Table 14 provides a description of each field in the iBots tab.

If you change any of the values in these fields, you can restore the default values as shown in the following procedure.

Field
Description

Debug Enabled

Select this to have Siebel Analytics Scheduler generate a log file for each iBot. This log file has useful logging messages when trying to diagnose a problem.

iBot Log Directory

Siebel iBots can create log files if exceptional error conditions occur. iBot Log Directory specifies the directory where these files are saved.
The directory must be accessible to the Siebel Analytics Scheduler application.

In Windows, the default installation runs the service as a system account, which prevents Scheduler from writing to or reading from network directories.
If you put script files on network shares, or your scripts access network shares, then Scheduler must be run as a network user.

Minimum/Maximum Delivery Sleep Seconds

The minimum and maximum number of seconds that the iBot randomly sleeps after its connection is refused before it attempts to reconnect to the server to deliver results.

Minimum/Maximum Global Sleep Seconds

The minimum and maximum number of seconds that the iBot randomly sleeps after its connection is refused before it attempts to reconnect to the server to get global information about what to deliver and to whom.

Minimum/Maximum Request Sleep Seconds

The minimum and maximum number of seconds that the iBot randomly sleeps after its connection is refused before it attempts to reconnect to the server to issue requests.

Number of Delivery Tries

After a unique request has executed, the iBot tries to deliver the results to specified devices. Specifies the number of times Siebel Analytics Scheduler attempts to connect to the server to deliver the results.

Number of Global Tries

A Web or mail server that has too many people logged on may reject new connections, including connections from Siebel Analytics Scheduler. To cope with such overload, an iBot retries the connection. This field sets the maximum number of tries to get global information about what to deliver and to whom before the iBot gives up.

Number of Request Tries

After an iBot has received the global information, it issues a series of unique requests to the server for each user.
Specifies the number of times Siebel Analytics Scheduler attempts to connect to the server to issue these requests.

SAW Machine Name

The machine name and port where the Analytics Web (SAW) server is running.
The server name must be specified and optionally can be followed by a colon and port number. If you do not specify a port number, Scheduler uses the default Analytics Web server port number, which is 9710. For example, if the Analytics Web (SAW) server runs on machine1 and port 8900, the value for this field is machine1:8900.
