Configuring Siebel Applications for Attribute Analysis

In order for Attribute Analysis to function properly, the sequence number associated with a class attribute must be set properly. The sequence numbers assigned to the Attributes must be unique. If the sequence number associated with an attribute is not unique, the Siebel Data Warehouse ETL process cannot distinguish between two attributes with the same sequence number, possibly resulting in the ETL process crashing and in flawed analyses.

This configuration is performed in the Siebel operational application.

To configure the attribute sequence numbers

1. From the Siebel operational application Site Map, select Application Administration > Class Administration.
2. In the Classes form, select the class whose attributes are going to be analyzed.
3. Select the Dynamic attributes child level form, and from that menu select columns displayed.
4. Display the Analytics Sequence # column.
5. For each row in the Dynamic Attributes list, enter a unique sequence number in the Analytics Sequence# column.

   If a sequence number already exists, change the sequence number to a unique value.

6. Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 for all the classes whose attributes are to be analyzed.
