Q: Why am I consistently receiving a 'Session Timeout' error when I am trying to access Sales Intelligence?

A: Session Timeout error usually occurs for the following reasons:

You may not have User ID/Pwd or Single Sign-On as your Authentication Type (which determines how you sign in to Oracle CRM On-Demand.
You may not have been assigned the Enable Web Services Access privilege which is required to access Sales Intelligence.
The session is actually timing out due to inactivity.

Note: Oracle CRM sessions are configured to time out after ten minutes of inactivity. So, if you do not want your session to be timed out, you need to provide any input to the computer at least once in every ten minutes.

To resolve the issue caused by one of the first two reasons specified above, follow the instructions below:

A: Here are the steps to locate your Org ID in Oracle CRM On Demand:

In the upper-right corner of any page, click the Admin global link.
On the Admin Homepage, click the Company Administration link.

Q: While using the Sales Intelligence Sync function for an Account, how can I update the "Industry" field in my CRM?

A: Sales Intelligence doesn’t currently support this functionality. The Industry field is a "pick list" in Oracle CRM On Demand and unlike some other on demand CRM systems, Oracle CRM On Demand doesn't allow addition of new values to this field through their API (Web Services). Since there is no mapping from the Sales Intelligence industries to the industries in your CRM setup, we do not export this value during the Sync or Export functions.

Q: Why am I getting 'Could not authenticate user using configured Single Sign-On Error'. What do I need to do to troubleshoot this issue?

A: You get this error because Oracle On-demand CRM is now SSO-compliant (Single Sign-On) and the SSO isn't working for this user profile due to a configuration issue - the Integration Web Services setting is disabled. When a user gets this error, you must enable the Integration Web Services setting as an Admin of your CRM system. The following section of this article outlines the steps you must perform to enable Integration Web Services setting for a User role to troubleshoot this issue.

Go to Admin panel and click User Management & Access Controls, in the above screen. The following screen appears:
