About Upgrading Siebel Analytics Seed Data for Non-English Locales

If your organization requires that Siebel Analytics data be viewed in a language other than English, you must also import Locale seed data into the Siebel transactional (OLTP) database. This data allows the Siebel Analytics applications metadata to be viewed in non-English languages.

NOTE:  This procedure is only applicable to Siebel Analytics applications customers.

Because seed data is normally part of the Siebel operational application suite, you would have loaded part of this data when you installed the Siebel operational application. The additional process described in Importing Locale Seed Data into the Siebel Transactional Database updates the seed data and makes it current for the Siebel Analytics applications. This process must be performed once for each language in which your data is to be viewed.

During the Siebel Analytics installation, a folder named $INSTALLDIR\SeedData was created. This folder contains a subfolder for each language. Within each language subfolder is a .dat file (the data to be imported) and an .inp file (the WHERE clause governing the import). For more information about these files, see Importing Siebel Financial Services Metadata Files.
