Set this preference to the Configuration ID for the load splitter configuration that you want to use for activating territory alignments. For use with the Assignment Manager's load splitter. For more information about load splitter, see Siebel Assignment Manager Administration Guide. For more information about activating territory alignments, see Siebel Territory Management Guide.

Activity Hierarchy: Max Levels

Specifies the maximum number of levels for the Activity Hierarchy.

Alarm Manager Load Frequency

Specifies the number of minutes the Siebel application waits before rechecking for alarms.

The default value is 60.

AllowOverReceipts

If this preference is set to TRUE, the received quantity can be greater than the shipped quantity. Also, for an internal order, when the Process Receipt command is invoked, the pick ticket can be closed only when the received quantity is equal to or greater than the shipped quantity. For more information about shipping and receiving, see Siebel Field Service Guide.

Always Show Message Bar Alerts

Obsolete.

Asgn:Inherit Org Candidates

If this preference is set to TRUE, the organization candidates on an assignment rule can be copied to rules that inherit from the assignment rule. After the rule is inherited, any change to the organization candidate of the original rule has no effect on the inherited rule.

Auto Mgr Calendar Access

Permits the employee's manager access to the employee's calendar, even if the employee does not explicitly give the manager access.

The default value is True.

Calendar Team Primary

Determines the employee calendars that an employee manager can access. This preference applies only if you set the Auto Mgr Calendar Access preference to True.

A value of True indicates the manager can access the calendars of only the employees who are primary employees in the position hierarchy of the manager.

A value of False indicates the manager can access the calendars of all employees in the position hierarchy of the manager.

CSM Logging

Enables logging of merge transactions. Merge transactions are created when connected users combine or merge two or more business components, such as accounts or opportunities, into one business component.

Information from this log can be used to relink orphaned records created when the merge process is crossed with an update process during a synchronization.

This preference is applicable only if the installation uses Siebel Remote or Replication Manager.

The default value is False.

DB2: Default Opt Level

Specifies the default optimization level which defines the optimizing algorithm that DB2 uses to execute SQL statements.

DBX: Vis Rules per Statement 1

Specifies the number of visibility or routing rules checked for each SQL statement processed by the Database Extract component for the first SQL statement with header information.

The default value is UTC.

Entitlement: Pricing Dates

If this preference is set to False or NULL, date verification is skipped when entitlement pricing terms are checked in the Verify Entitlement process. (This preference is similar to the Entitlement: Verify Dates system preference except that this preference applies to entitlement pricing terms and the other preference applies to entitlement service terms.)

Enable ST Script Engine

Set this preference to TRUE to enable the Strong Typing (ST) eScript engine. Siebel eScript is a scripting language that application developers use to write simple scripts to extend Siebel Business Applications. The Strong Typing eScript engine provides improved performance, scalability, and enhanced functionality when running scripts. For more information about the ST eScript engine, see Using Siebel Tools.

ETL Analysis End

ETL Analysis Start

ETL Date Format

ETL Date format specifies the way dates are interpreted. The other two preferences specify the date range for which the Exchange Rates are adjusted. This range does not indicate that only the data created within this range is extracted. Select the earliest date for the Analysis Start Date (when the transactions might have begun). In addition to considering the created and modified dates, consider other relevant dates such as order date. Setting this date to an early value such as 19700101 (January 1, 1970) does not affect the processing time. A similar logic applies for choosing Analysis End Date. Enter the values in the format defined by ETL Date Format.

The default Analysis End value is 20101231.

The default Analysis Start value is 19940101.

The default Date Format value is YYYYMMDD.

ETL Base Exchange Currency

Specifies the currency in which all the financial data is converted. While the OLTP supports transactions in many different currencies, the data in the OLAP is converted to a single currency for analysis purposes. The Exchange rates are derived from the Exchange Rates table in the OLTP.

The default value is USD.

ETL Default Continent

Specifies the value for any address that does not have Continent defined. Set this preference to a value, which is used if the value of Continent is not defined in the OLTP.

The default value is North America.

ETL Default Country

Specifies the value for any address that does not have the Country defined. Set this preference to a value, which is used if the value of Country is not defined in the OLTP.

The default value is USA.

ETL Default Currency

Specifies the value for currency code that is used if the currency code for a specific financial transaction is not set.

The default value is USA.

ETL Default Language

Specifies the language code used when language translation occurs when looking up the List of Values table.

The default value is ENU.

ETL LOV Maximum Value

ETL LOV Minimum Value

Set these preferences to the maximum and minimum values for bucketing of fields. Instead of indicating the number of employees at an account is 45, 96, the values can be bucketed to 0-50, 50-100 and so on. In the List of Values, if the minimum and maximum values are not specified, the values of these preferences are used.

The default values are 9999999999 and 0.

ETL Unknown Exchange Rate

Specifies the value used when an exchange rate for a currency to the Datamart Default Currency is undefined in the OLTP.

The default value is 1.

Forecast: Auto-Forecast

Quick Print Application

Determines which application is used by quick print. Allowed values are HTML and EXCEL. This preference can be overridden by the Quick Print Application user preference.
