Enabling the Siebel Reports Server with the Web Client

---

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

To set the parameters at the component level

From the application-level menu, select View > Site Map > Server Administration screen >Server Components.
Select the component for which you need to enable Reports Server parameters.
Click the Component Parameters tab.
Set parameter values in the Current value column for the following parameters and Save.

NOTE:  The Siebel Server has to be restarted for these parameters to take effect.

Actuate Server Enable Flag = TRUE

Actuate Server Report Server Host = name of the Reports Server machine followed by the SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) server port number (example: server1:8000).

Actuate Server Report Cast Host = Name of Active Portal machine followed by domain name and Tomcat port number (example: server1.siebel.com:8080).

Actuate Report Cast Domain = Domain name for the Active Portal machine (example: siebel.com).

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

Actuate Server Connect String = siebel.TCPIP.none.NONE://GatewayServerName:PortNumber/EnterpriseServerName/XXXOBJMGR_language/SiebelServerName

Where:

siebel.TCPIP = the networking protocol

none (first instance) = the encryption type chosen

NONE (second instance) = the data compression method chosen

GatewayServerName = the name of your Siebel Gateway Server

PortNumber = the listening port number (default is 2320)

EnterpriseServerName = the name of your Siebel Enterprise Server

XXXOBJMGR_language = type of Object Manager for the Siebel eBusiness application you are installing, for example:

SCCOBJMGR_enu for U.S. English Siebel Call Center Object Manager

SSEOBJMGR_enu for U.S. English Siebel Sales Object Manager

SiebelServerName = the name of your Siebel Server

NOTE:  When deploying the Reports Server with a load-balanced Siebel Server, the Reports Server must be installed separately on a machine that does not have a Siebel Server.

Actuate Server Rox Directory = /Siebel Reports/

Actuate Server Poll Wait Limit = time limit (in seconds) after which polling stops for interactively run reports.

The Actuate Server Poll Wait Limit parameter defines a duration in seconds, at the component level, after which application control is returned to the user, regardless of whether report generation has completed or not. This provision avoids the client having to wait for an indefinite time period after submitting long-running reports.

NOTE:  The administrator should advise end users that they can override the component level setting of Actuate Server Poll Wait limit Parameter. This is done by choosing View > User Preferences > Behavior to set the Run Report Time Limit parameter from the application-level menu.

See Siebel Server Administration Guide for more information on how to modify Application Object Manager parameters.

The following parameters need to be set in the eapps.cfg file, which can be found under the BIN subdirectory of the Siebel Web Server Extensions installation, in order for the single sign-on for reports to work.

To set the parameters in the eapps.cfg file

Navigate to the file eapps.cfg under, for example, /export/home/sea750/eappweb/bin.
Using a text editor, open eapps.cfg and locate the [Defaults] section.
Set the following parameter values as shown below:

EnableFQDN = TRUE

EnableFQDN is the setting that enables the processing of requests to Web sites even if the user does not provide the fully qualified domain name.

FQDN = machine name followed by domain name

Where:

FQDN stands for Fully Qualified Domain Name. An example of a fully qualified domain name would be ebiz.siebel.com.

For more information about EnableFQDN and FQDN, see "Editing the Web Server Extension Configuration File" in the Siebel Server Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.
