Changing Database Connection Pool Settings


This task is part of the Process of Configuring Siebel Analytics Server Under Windows.

The SiebelAnalytics.rpd application repository contains multiple, preconfigured database connections. By default the database type is IBM DB2. When you start the Siebel Analytics Server, you receive linker errors in the NQServer.log, such as the following:

[54009] Unable to create connection pool Internal System Connection Pool in repository Star.ld.so.1: /t3fs4/AN1393/SiebelAnalytics/Bin/nqsserver.exe: fatal: libdb2.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

[nQSError: 46029] Failed to load the DLL /t3fs4/AN1393/SiebelAnalytics/Bin/ libnqsdbgatewaydb2cli35.so. Check if 'DB2 CLI' database client is installed.

This behavior is expected.

You must reconfigure all the database connections appropriate to your environments. This includes changing the database types and updating the user names and passwords. (In addition, while testing the Siebel Analytics Server installation, you may need to change connection pool settings for items such as the name of the database, the user ID and password, and other settings for the several repositories bundled with applications versions of Siebel Analytics.)

The default settings use the following patterns:

  • Password for all the database connections is db2. Update the passwords for your particular database connections.
  • Data Source Name (DSN) for transactional databases is VALUEOF(OLTP_DSN).
  • User for transactional databases is VALUEOF(OLTP_USER).
  • Data Source Name (DSN) for data warehouses is VALUEOF(OLAP_DSN).
  • User for data warehouses is VALUEOF(OLAP_USER).

The connection pools are described briefly in Table 16.
