About Updating Row Counts in Native Databases

This section applies if you are running a heterogeneous environment, such as Siebel Analytics Server and database on UNIX, while remote Administrator users run the Server Administration Tool on Windows machines.

When using the Update Rowcount functionality, the Server Administration Tool uses local ODBC sources on the client machine, not the server ODBC sources. This means that on the Windows machine running Server Administration Tool, an Oracle or DB2 data source must be configured to point to the same DBMS identified in the Siebel Analytics user.csh or user.sh file on the UNIX server. The name of the local data source also must match the name of the data source defined in the Connection Pool object in the physical layer of the Siebel Analytics repository (.rpd) file.

If this requirement is not completed—and if the server and client data sources are pointing at different databases—then erroneous updated row counts or incorrect results appear.
