Default Settings for Siebel Analytics Server Configuration Files


Analytics License: All licenses.

Operating Systems: All.

This topic is part of Administering Analytics Servers.

When you install Siebel Analytics, the installer automatically sets some Analytics Server parameter. Table 27 briefly summarizes these default settings.

NOTE:  In some cases, the default values for the settings are different for Windows and UNIX installations. In these cases, the parameter is listed twice.

For more details of these parameter settings, see NQSConfig.INI File Reference and NQClusterConfig.INI File Reference.
