Description

Added ability to synchronize Disconnected Analytics incrementally.

About Incremental Synchronization.

After the first full synchronization, the incremental synchronization feature allows incremental data downloads. (Before version 7.7.1, mobile users could not perform incremental data downloads.)

Added ability to synchronize Disconnected Analytics in batch mode.

About Preprocessed Synchronization.

Administrators can run synchronization at night or on weekends to reduce the time it takes mobile users to download data. (Before version 7.7.1, individual mobile users had to run synchronization reports each time they wanted to download data.)

Added ability to import physical schema from a multidimensional data source.

Importing a Physical Schema From Multidimensional Data Sources.

External multidimensional data source schemas can be imported into the physical layer. (Before version 7.7.1, all elements of a physical schema for a multidimensional data source had to be manually created.)

Added list of XML tags.

Disconnected Analytics Configuration File Reference.

This new appendix describes the XML tags and attributes that you need to create the configuration file for Disconnected Analytics.

Description

Siebel Marketing shares metadata with Siebel Analytics.

See, Configuring Marketing Module Metadata.

Shared metadata in the Siebel Analytics repository (SiebelAnalytics.rpd) supports Marketing segmentation and Siebel Analytics functions such as reporting and list generation. (Before version 7.7.1, metadata configuration had to be done on the Siebel Marketing Server and on the Siebel Analytics Server.)

Ability to use the Administration Tool to administer Siebel Analytics from any machine, without needing connectivity to every database.

See Configuring an LDAP Server.

The Analytics Server, which issues SQL to the database and connectivity to each database, is no longer needed to administer Siebel Analytics. (Before version 7.7.1, the Administration Tool issued SQL statement to the database.)
