Automatic Data Retrieval

---

You can set up data retrieval to occur automatically when you refresh your data warehouse. Using this feature, you can make sure that fields and attributes with volatile datasets are regularly synchronized with the Marketing Repository. After enabling automatic data retrieval, every time a new record is added to the ETL History table in the Siebel application, the Automatic Data Retrieval workflow process resynchronizes all attribute hierarchies.

NOTE:  You can find the ETL History status for each load in the Diagnostics view of the Analytics Administration screen.

To enable automatic data retrieval

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Marketing Administration > External Data Mapping.
Click the Data Retrieval view tab.
Select the field or attribute hierarchy.
In the Auto-Update field, select the check box.

The Automatic Data Retrieval workflow is invoked anytime you insert a new record in the ETL Result (S_ETL_RUN) table. The workflow calls the Attribute Resync Service as part of its process.

To invoke automatic data retrieval, perform the following two steps in the Business Process Administration screen after you deploy Siebel Marketing:

In the Workflow Policy view, search for the Automatic Data Retrieval policy and set the expiration date to the date that you want the automatic data retrieval to run.
Activate the Automatic Data Retrieval workflow process as discussed in Activating Workflow Processes.

NOTE:  This feature is only supported for Siebel customers that have deployed Siebel Analytics with the Siebel Data Warehouse.
