Setting Oracle Databases for the Siebel Analytics Server Machine

This topic is part of the Configuring Native Databases (UNIX).

If your native database is Oracle, the machine running Siebel Analytics Server must have the Siebel Analytics supported Oracle Client installed. In the tnsnames.ora file, the defined entry name must match the Data Source Name used in the connection pools used in all Siebel Analytics repository physical Oracle databases. That is, the following two conditions must be true:

• In the tnsnames.ora file, the Oracle database alias must be the same as the CONNECT_DATA setting.
• In the .rpd file, the Oracle database alias used in the connection pools must also be the same as the Data Source Name.

To check your repository connection pool settings against the Oracle tnsnames.ora settings, see the procedure in Configuring Oracle Databases for the Siebel Analytics Server Machine.
