Updating Initialization Blocks
The SiebelAnalytics.rpd file uses initialization blocks that set dynamic session and repository variables within the Siebel Analytics Server. For more information about initialization blocks and variables, read Siebel Analytics Server Administration Guide.
In general, initialization blocks do not have to be reconfigured if you are using one of the supported database platforms. For more information on how to add custom SQLs for each database in the Initialization blocks and Select tables, read the database packaging support in Siebel Analytics Web Administration Guide.
The SQLs for the applications repository Initialization blocks and all select tables have been set for the Siebel Analytics-supported database versions of:
- IBM DB2
- Oracle
- Microsoft SQL Server
You may have to change some of the initialization blocks if you do not use one of these supported databases
Table 10 lists some of the initialization blocks common to all Siebel Analytics applications and their purposes. Initialization blocks that are specific to each Siebel Analytics applications area are not listed here. For example, the LAST_SYND_DATES block sets certain dates for Pharmaceutical Analytics and can be ignored by other applications that do not use syndicated data.
You can view a list of initialization blocks and their strings. In Siebel Analytics Server Administration Tool, navigate to Manage > Variables > Initialization Blocks. Right-click any initialization block and select Properties to view information about that block. For more information, see Siebel Analytics Server Administration Tool online help.
