The following environment variables must be defined in the environment used to start MDM-RE servers and utilities.

SSA_XML_UTF16=1

this variable informs MDM-RE to output UTF-16 encoded Unicode into ’W’ columns when converting data extracted from XML documents produced by Siebel. When set to zero it uses UTF-8. The default (when not specified) is UTF-16.

SSA_XML_SIZE

this variable specifies the size of the XML parsing buffer (in bytes) of the XS Server.

This should be at least as large as

IDS_PAGE_SIZE * <max bytes per Siebel Msg>

. The former is a Profile Attribute of the

ISSLaunchBuildLoadFile

workflow and the latter is a function of the size and number of fields included in the IO.

SSA_RBNAME

this variable specifies the connection string for the Rulebase containing the System. Its format is described in the

Rulebase and Database Names

section of this guide.
