Importing Locale Seed Data into the Siebel Transactional Database

NOTE:  This procedure should be performed by a Siebel Applications Administrator.

If the primary language being used is not English, you may have to import additional locale seed data (depending on the number of languages you use) as shown in the following procedure.

To import Locale seed data into the Siebel transactional database

1. Open a command window and navigate to SINSTALLDIR\SeedData\bin folder.
2. Run the import command in Step 3 after replacing the connection parameters shown in the following table with the values appropriate to your database environment.

   Import parameters:
   UserName
   Password
   ODBCDataSource
   DatabaseOwner

3. Run the import command:

   $INSTALLDIR\SeedData\bin\dataimp /u $UserName /p $Password /c "$ODBCDataSource" /d $DatabaseOwner /f $INSTALLDIR\SeedData\<XX>\analytics_seed_<XXX>.dat /w y /q 100 /h Log /x f /i $INSTALLDIR\SeedData\<XX>\metadata_upgrade_<XXX>_<DBPlatform>.inp /l metadata_upgrade_<XXX>.log

   NOTE:  Replace the XX with the Siebel Analytics two-letter language code (_fr, _it) and the XXX with the Siebel Systems three-letter code (FRA, ITA).

4. When you have finished importing the Locale seed data into the OLTP database, configure database connectivity to the machine on which the Siebel Analytics Server resides.

   Siebel Analytics Server uses the Siebel transactional database in order to read the metadata translations. Configure the database connectivity on the Siebel Analytics Server machine to the OLTP database, so that the server can load the appropriate translations for the languages you are using.

   NOTE:  Unicode connectivity can be used to access databases that do not support Unicode.
