Externalizing Financial Services Metadata Translation Strings

---

The Financial Services applications use a different set of translation strings from other Siebel eBusiness applications.

NOTE:  See also the section About Siebel Operational Application Metadata Import Files.

You must externalize the metadata strings in the Analytics repository.

To externalize metadata strings in the Analytics repository

1. Open the SiebelAnalytics.rpd using the Analytics Administration Tool.
2. Select the entire presentation layer and right-click the mouse to display the menu.
3. Choose Externalized Metadata Strings.

   With this configuration, all metadata strings are read from an external Siebel operational application database, specifically from the table S_MSG.

4. Make sure that the connection pool Externalized Metadata Strings points to the Siebel operational application database and is working correctly.
5. Go to the Manage Variables menu and locate the initialization block External Metadata Strings.
6. Double-click on the initialization block to open the Edit window.
7. In the Initialization SQL area, change the SQL:

   from

   select MSG_NUM, MSG_TEXT

   from VALUEOF(TBO).S_MSG

   where MSG_TYPE = 'Metadata' and

   LANG_ID = decode( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.LOCALE)' ... [more]

   to

   select MSG_NUM, MSG_TEXT

   from VALUEOF(TBO).S_MSG

   where MSG_TYPE = 'FINS_Metadata' and

   LANG_ID = decode( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.LOCALE)' ... [more]

8. Click OK to commit the changes and save the repository.
9. Restart the Siebel Analytics Server.
