Enabling the Siebel Reports Server with the Siebel Web Client


This section describes how to set up the various parameters for enabling the Siebel Reports Server for the Siebel Web Client.

For more information on how to modify Application Object Manager parameters, see the Siebel System Administration Guide.

To configure the Reports Server parameters for the Application Object Manager

  1. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Server Configuration > Servers.

    The screen that appears displays three different list applets. The top applet lists the Siebel Servers for the enterprise. The middle applet has three tabs—Components, Parameters and Events. The bottom applet has two tabs—Events and Parameters.

  2. In the top list applet, select the Siebel Server that you want to configure.
  3. In the middle applet, click the Components tab.

    This list applet contains the components for the Siebel Server selected in the top applet.

    Choose the relevant Application Object Manager.

  4. In the bottom applet, click the Parameters tab.

    This list applet contains the parameters for the Component selected in the middle applet.

  5. Change the following parameters:

    Actuate Server Connect String = Connect string for a Siebel Server (where load balancing is not deployed) is:

    siebel.TCPIP.none.none://SiebelServerHost:SCBPort/EnterpriseServerName/XXXObjMgr_language

    where:

    • siebel.TCPIP = Networking protocol
    • none.none = The encryption type and compression type
    • SiebelServerHost = Name of the host on which the Siebel Server is installed
    • SCBPort = Listening port number for the SCBroker component (use 2321 for the SCBPort)
    • EnterpriseServerName = Name of your Siebel Enterprise Server
    • XXXObjMgr_language = Type of Object Manager and Language Pack for the Siebel Business application you are installing, for example:
      • SCCObjMgr_enu for Siebel Call Center Object Manager for U.S. English
      • PManagerObjMgr_enu for Siebel Partner Manager Object Manager for U.S. English

        Actuate Server Enable Flag = True

        Actuate Server Network Protocol Name = Name of protocol to use for viewing reports (example: HTTP)

        Actuate Server Report Server Host = Valid formats for this parameter are:

    • If using an IP Address to refer to the Actuate Server Report Server Host, then include the Encyclopedia volume name for this parameter.

    IP Address:Port Number/Encyclopedia volume name (example: 1.160.10.240:8000/volume1)

    • If the Actuate Server Report Server Host name is different from the Encyclopedia volume name, then the Encyclopedia volume name must be included for this parameter.

    Actuate Server Report Server Host:Port Number/Encyclopedia volume name (example: server1:8000/volume1)

    • If the Actuate Server Report Server Host name and the Encyclopedia volume name are the same, then the Encyclopedia volume name is not included for this parameter.

    Actuate Server Report Server Host:Port Number (example: server1:8000)

    NOTE:  By default, if the Encyclopedia volume name is not specified, it is assumed to be the same as the ReportServerHost.

    Actuate Server Rox Directory = /Siebel Reports/

    NOTE:  Setting the Actuate Report Cast Domain and Actuate Server Report Cast Host parameters is no longer required.

  6. Save changes and restart the component or the Siebel Server.
