Completing the Initialization in the Siebel Operational Application
Integrating Interactive Dashboards and Operational Applications Data
C-7
For each Analytical report on a Siebel operational application home page, there is a
symbolic URL record defined that links the home page to the Analytics report. If you
have not already done so, you need to create a new home page and set it up to use a
symbolic URL.
The figure below shows example Inline and IFrame symbolic URL arguments.
Figure C1
Examples of Symbolic URL Arguments.
To configure a new Home Page to use a symbolic URL
1.
Make sure the symbolic URL has been set up.
2.
Launch the Siebel operational application and navigate to the Integration
Administration, then Symbolic URL Administration view.
3.
Query for the symbolic URL that has been set up for Analytics.
The name of this symbolic URL should be exactly the same as the calculated value
of the field that was added to the Business Component. For example, you may
have a symbolic URL named HomePageAnalytics.
4.
In the URL field, enter the Web URL. For example:
http://NQHOST/Analytics/saw.dll
For the Host Name, choose the Analytics Server Name from the drop-down list.
The following table shows the other parameters for reports.
Note:
For more information on the symbolic URL infrastructure, see
Siebel Portal Framework Guide. This topic assumes that you have
successfully built a symbolic URL to link some external content, using
the instructions given in Siebel Portal Framework Guide.
