Replace the Siebel Analytics Repository File

Along with an Informatica repository (.rep) file, the Analytics Bridge product also contains a Siebel Analytics repository (.rpd) file, which provides customized metadata for the Analytics Bridge application. You must move this .rpd file manually into the appropriate folder location in the Siebel Analytics directory to enable this functionality.

To replace the Siebel Analytics repository file

  1. Import the Siebel 6.3 Analytics Bridge-specific Siebel Analytics repository file:
    Copy
    From
    To
    SiebelAnalytics_63.rpd
    63_Bridge folder
    SiebelAnalytics\Repository\
  2. Configure Siebel Analytics to point to the Bridge-specific .rpd file.

    NOTE:  This Bridge .rpd file is the same for all Siebel 6.3 Bridge applications.

    In order for Siebel Analytics to access the 6.3 Bridge-specific repository (.rpd) file, you must change a configuration setting in the NQSConfig.ini file. Initially, the Repository section of the NQSConfig.ini file shows the following entry:

    [ REPOSITORY ]
    Star = siebelanalytics.rpd, DEFAULT;

    Comment out the original Siebel Analytics repository entry and create a new entry for the 6.3 Bridge-specific .rpd file, as follows:

    [ REPOSITORY ]
    Star = siebelanalytics_63.rpd DEFAULT;
    #Star = siebelanalytics.rpd, DEFAULT;

NOTE:  The Bridge Application uses the same Siebel Analytics Web Catalog as the preconfigured Siebel Analytics 7.5 product. Therefore, no additional Web Catalog installation or configuration is necessary for the Web Catalog portion of the Siebel Analytics product.
