Step 1: Modifying the Synchronization Configuration File

You as the Oracle BI Administrator or end users can edit the configuration file that affects the synchronization process. This file is called syncconfig.xml and it resides in the $OracleBIData_HOME\sync\config\ directory on each user's machine, where $OracleBIData_HOME is the data directory.

The following list describes the elements in this file:

<Sync>: Serves as the root element for this file.
<ServerInstance>: Serves to make this file consistent with other configuration files. Leave this element as is.
<SADIS_ExecuteMode>: Indicates that the application is used with Oracle's Siebel Customer Relationship Management. Neither Oracle BI Administrators nor users should edit this setting because it is set programmatically.
<CurrentApplication>: Identifies the name of the currently active application. The disconnected machine can have more than one application downloaded. This setting is maintained by the synchronization process to track the currently active application to ensure that the correct data and catalog updates occur. Neither Oracle BI Administrators nor users should edit this setting.
<SSOEnabled>: If the Web server is set to use single sign-on, then change this setting from the default of false to true. For more information, see Setting Up Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics for Use with Windows Single Sign-On.
<SetDBUser>: Indicates whether the Create New User dialog is displayed when users access the Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager. A setting of Yes (the default) displays the dialog, while No prevents the display.
<ShowLogWhenDone>: Indicates whether to show the Progress dialog during a silent synchronization. If this setting is Yes, then the dialog is displayed. If this setting is No (the default), then the user receives no notification that the synchronization is in progress and must check the log file to determine whether the synchronization succeeded.
<TimeOutValueSecs>: Indicates the number of seconds to wait before timing out the connection from the disconnected client to the Oracle BI Server. The default value is 300. You can increase this value if the network traffic is heavy and Oracle BI Server is slow to respond.
<language>: Indicates the language that was specified when Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics was installed on the disconnected machine. This language is used for the dialogs of the Oracle BI Disconnected Analytics Application Manager. The default value is l_en.

The following is a sample syncconfig.xml file.

<Sync>

<CurrentApplication>Paint</CurrentApplication>

<SSOEnabled>false</SSOEnabled>

</ServerInstance>

</Sync>
