Logging In to the DAC

The DAC application connects to a database called the DAC repository, which contains definitions of DAC application objects. When you log in to the DAC for the first time, you need to configure the database connection to the DAC repository. You can also connect to multiple DAC repositories by configuring multiple database connections, but only one DAC repository is active at a time.

To log in to DAC for the first time

1. Double-click the DAC Client icon on the desktop.
2. In the Login ... dialog box, select Configure.
3. In the Configuring ... dialog box, select Create Connection, and then click Next.
4. In the Connection Details area of the Configuring ... dialog box, enter the appropriate information for the database to which you want to connect.
5. Click Test Connection to make sure you configured the database correctly.

   When you connect to a database for the first time, a DAC repository schema is created if it does not already exist.

Version Detection

In Siebel Data Warehouse version 7.7.1.4 and higher, if the schema, repository, or seed data are of lower versions than the DAC client or do not exist, you will be prompted to upgrade the DAC repository. This upgrade process is automatic. If the upgrade process is interrupted, it will restart from the point it was last saved the next time you log on to the DAC repository.

Information about the upgrade process is logged in SiebelAnalytics\DAC\log\upgrade.txt.
