Synchronizing Disconnected Analytics in the Background (Silent Mode)

To integrate dashboards with the Siebel mobile Web client, you need to set up disconnected analytics to run in the background (silent mode) using the following syntax.

Sync

 

-u|U[User Name]

(Required)

-p|P[Password]

(Required)

-f|F[Dad File / URL Link]

The DAD file name. Only if you know the DAD file name on the server.

-s|S[Server]

Machine name. URL is constructed from machine & application name

-a|A[Application Name]

Required to be used in conjunction with server

-d|D

(Optional) To just download files, not update, the files won't be written to disk.

-l|L[Log Filename]

(Optional)

-o|O[Output Folder]

(Optional) Primarily used for testing.

For example, the command line interface is used extensively by Siebel Pharma Applications and Siebel Pharma Field Analytics so that synchronization can be performed on a batch basis on weekends or nights. Pharmaceutical sales representatives typically synchronize multiple disconnected analytics data sets using a single synchronization process. This process runs synchronization scripts for all their applications including Siebel eBusiness Applications, Siebel Disconnected Analytics, and Outlook.

Pharma Field Analytics synchronization typically is run as a set of scripted commands that are embedded in a script and run in the background. Pharma Field Analytics users typically do not use Disconnected Analytics Application Manager synchronize.

The following is an example of the command line synchronization for the Pharma Field Analytics application:

  • Type the following on the command line if the server and application name are specified:

    sync -uuser -ppassword -sserver -aPharma where server is <hostname>:<port>

    NOTE:  Lowercase (analytics) is the default on the command line if the server and application name are specified.

  • Type the following on the command line if the URL of the DAD file is specified:

    sync -uuser -ppassword -f"http://server/Analytics/saw.dll?SyncDAD&app=Pharma"
