Initialization Blocks and Security-Related Information in Analytics

In the Siebel Analytics repository, the initialization blocks have already been set up for obtaining a given user's primary position, primary organization, and the owner ID. There are three initialization blocks:

• Primary Position ID

  This initialization block obtains the primary position of the given user, based on the user's login, and populates the variable PRIMARY_POSTN_ID. The SQL used by the block is run against the Siebel transactional database, and therefore reflects real-time position ID information.

• Primary Owner ID

  This initialization block obtains the owner ID for the given user. It obtains this information from the Siebel transactional database and populates the PR_OWNER_ID variable.

• Orgs for Org-based Security

  This initialization block obtains the list of organizations that a given user belongs to from the Siebel transactional database. The variable populated is ORGANIZATION.
