Bookshelf v7.7: Process of Configuring Scheduler Server for Stand-Alone Analytics

The process described in this section is only for sites that are running Stand-Alone Siebel Analytics and using Siebel Analytics Scheduler.

NOTE: If you are not using Scheduler, you do not need the information in this topic.

NOTE: If you are running Siebel Analytics applications, you do not have to manually create the relational database tables.

The process of creating and configuring Scheduler tables consists of the following tasks:

TIP: If you are upgrading from any version of Siebel Analytics prior to version 7.5, contact Siebel Technical Support for assistance. For versions 7.7 and later, the Analytics Scheduler tables are included in the Siebel operational applications transactional database.

What the Scheduler Server Does

Scheduler uses a single commercial back-end database to store pertinent information about a job, its instances, and its parameters. The Scheduler works with all the supported databases for Siebel Analytics. For the complete list of supported databases, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms.

The Scheduler service starts only if the back-end database satisfies the following conditions:


Database Must Be...	Notes
Configured	There is a one-to-one relationship between the back-end database and Siebel Analytics Scheduler. Do not configure multiple Siebel Analytics Scheduler applications to use a single back-end database.
Operational	For information about the specific back-end databases supported by Siebel Analytics Scheduler, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Siebel SupportWeb.
Mixed Authentication Mode	For example, if the database is SQL Server, then the security mode should be set to allow both SQL Server and Windows Authentication for logon. Do not use operating system authentication for the back-end database login. If you do, the Scheduler service may not start in some cases.
