Entitlement: Verify Consumer	Check the authorization of the contact requesting service. If preference is set to `TRUE`, the entitlements displayed must meet one of these criteria: The contact for the entitlement matches the service request contact. The entitlement account is set to All Contacts, and the entitlement account matches the service request account or the account for the contact for the service request. If no contact is selected, Siebel Field Service tries to verify the entitlement using the other entitlement settings. For more information, see Siebel Field Service Guide.
Entitlement: Verify Dates	Check that the service request falls within the time span of the entitlement. If the preference is set to `TRUE`, then the entitlements displayed are only those that provide coverage on the date the service request was opened: a date between the start and end dates for the entitlement. If the entitlement has no start or end date, it is not displayed. For more information, see Siebel Field Service Guide.
Entitlement: Verify Product	Check that the asset or product is entitled to service. If the preference is set to `TRUE`, the agreements displayed must meet one of these criteria: The entitlement asset matches an asset in the service request. The entitlement product matches a product in the service request (no asset or serial number specified). The entitlement is set to All Products and the product or asset for the entitlement matches the product or asset for the service request. If no product is selected, Siebel Field Service tries to verify the entitlement using the other Entitlement settings. For more information, see Siebel Field Service 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.
Forecast: Auto-Forecast	Creates subordinates' forecasts to be used in a rollup forecast, if the subordinates have not created forecasts themselves.
Forecast: Use Server Task	Send forecast processing requests to the Siebel Server for batch processing. If the value is False, requests are processed locally.
FSDB:Override Service Region	Maximum monetary value accepted in Auction Item, Bid, and Fee currency fields.
FSPrevMnt: Def Act Owner ID	The value of this system preference is used when creating activities from a template in which the activity owner (Employees) has not been defined. The value specified should be the ROW_ID of the desired employee. For more information, see Siebel Field Service Guide.
FSPrevMnt: Default Org ID	ROW_ID of the default organization. This default organization is stamped on generated service requests when the asset for which the service request is being generated does not have a specified account. If the owner account is specified for the asset, then the account's BU_ID is used. For more information, see Siebel Field Service Guide.
InventoryTypeForPT	Inventory location type. The values should be from the Inventory location type LOV and individual values should be any of the language independent values (LIVs). For more information, see Siebel Field Service Guide.
InvLocTypeForReplenishRelation	Default replenishment level. Orders to replenish any level of an inventory location have this value as their Destination.Value should be from the Inventory Location Type LIV. For more information, see Siebel Field Service Guide.
LOGMGR:Vis Rules per Statement	Set to 50 by default. For implementations that use any database other than Oracle, you should change this value to 20.
MRG:Docking Timestamp Source	Specifies whether the timestamp is based on the time a change was made on the client or on the server. For more information, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.
MRG:System Conflict Resolution	Sets the rule to be used for resolving database update conflicts. The rule may be either Server Wins (the default) or Client Wins. For more information, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.
MRG:Txns per Commit	Number of database transactions the Transaction Merger processes before it issues a database commit. Setting a low value (1) reduces the frequency with which users encounter a locked database row and reduces the risk of deadlock. Setting a high value (10) minimizes processing overhead. For more information, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide. Default DB2: 10. Default Microsoft SQL Server: 1. Default Oracle: 1.
MRG:User Friendly Notification	Determines whether Siebel Remote writes information about database updates to the Siebel Remote Status view on the Mobile Web Client. If the value is TRUE, Siebel Remote writes information about database updates. If the value is CONFLICTS, Siebel Remote writes information about database updates that caused conflicts. If the value is FALSE, Siebel Remote does not write any information about database updates. For more information, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.

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.
