About the Siebel Analytics Repository

Analytics License: All licenses.

Operating Systems: All.

This topic gives more information on the procedures in the area Installing Siebel Analytics.

Depending on your product licensing, you may have a full Siebel Analytics repository or a sample.

• The default platform-only Analytics repository is demo1.rpd (under Windows) or ORA_northwind.rpd (under UNIX).

  This repository is given as a sample only.

• The default Siebel Analytics repository for Siebel Analytics applications is SiebelAnalytics.rpd.

  You generate this repository using the Server Administration Tool. Analytics applications licensing permits you to access only those Siebel Analytics dashboards, subject areas, and reports for which you have purchased licenses.

The following topics also should be considered when using a Siebel Analytics repository. For complete details of configuring and administering the repository file, see the Siebel Analytics Server Administration Guide.

How Analytics Applications Licensing Affects Repository Size

Analytics License: Analytics Applications only.

Operating Systems: All.

If you have purchased a Siebel Analytics application, the license keys for that application generate the Siebel Analytics repository (.rpd) file. For example, if you did not license Siebel Delivers, this product is not installed. Siebel Analytics licensing may significantly affect the repository file size, depending on the specific Siebel Analytics application that you purchased. For example, if you have licensed Siebel Sales Analytics, you are able to view and use only those Siebel Analytics dashboards, subject areas, and reports related to Sales Analytics. You can also edit the repository file and make it smaller to provide improved performance.

The Siebel Analytics application licensing feature trims only the repository. However, licensing does not affect the size of the Analytics Web Catalog. It is recommended as a best practice that you do trim the Web Catalog and remove those dashboards that are not relevant to your business needs. Dashboards and reports are organized in shared folders according to the business areas. For example, all objects included under Marketing Analytics are stored in the folder /shared/Marketing.

About Installing and Configuring the Analytics Repository Under UNIX

Analytics License: Analytics Applications only.

Operating System: UNIX only.

Although the Siebel Analytics repository and Web catalog are transferable to UNIX platforms, you must first install and configure the repository file (.rpd file) on a Windows platform using the Server Administration Tool, then transfer the repository file to the UNIX platform using FTP. The Server Administration Tool is currently supported only on the Windows platform.
