Testing Disconnected Analytics Applications

Before deploying an application to mobile users, you should test each application by performing a download (with or without test data) and running the local disconnected application independently of the Disconnected Analytics Application Manager utility. Conducting a test in this way validates the disconnected repository, Web Catalog, and tables before deployment. If you do not want to set up the database tables separately, you can test the application as a mobile user.

To test a Disconnected Analytics application

  1. Identify a machine on which you will test.
  2. Install the Siebel Analytics Server components on this machine.

    For installation instructions, see Siebel Analytics Installation and Configuration Guide.

  3. Use the disconnected repository and Web Catalog on this machine, in place of Siebel Analytics repository and Web Catalog.
  4. Setup the database connections on the machine to point to your test mobile database.

    If you manually load test data, you can validate your Web Catalog.

  5. Start the Siebel Analytics Server and Siebel Analytics Web services.
  6. Login to each application and run queries.
  7. Debug when errors occur.
