Configuring Mobile Analytics Client ODBC DSN for Authentication

Analytics License: Analytics Applications only.

Operating System: Windows only.

This topic is part of the Process of Installing and Configuring Mobile Analytics Client.

The Mobile Analytics client for a Siebel Analytics application must be configured for authentication. Whenever a Mobile Analytics client user logs on to Mobile Analytics, the user name and password are authenticated using SQL Anywhere against a Siebel transactional database table. In order for the Mobile Analytics client to work in an integrated environment, you must configure SIEBEL_OLTP (the ODBC Data Source Name or DSN) on the client machine.

NOTE:  For the Siebel Pharma applications, Pharma Field Analytics is a prebuilt Mobile Analytics application for Siebel Pharma Sales.

The following configuration provides connectivity between the Mobile Analytics client and the mobile client Siebel transactional database.

To configure the Siebel Mobile Analytics client SIEBEL_OLTP DSN

1. Navigate to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC).

   Click System DSN tab.

2. Click Add button.
3. Select Adaptive Server Anywhere 8.0.

   Click Finish.

4. In Data source name field, enter SIEBEL_OLTP.

   NOTE:  Make sure the user has appropriate Analytics responsibilities checked.

5. Click Database tab, and then click Browse.

   In the Database file field, point to the local database on the client machine.

6. Click OK to exit the Administrative Tool.
