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.

(Simple Object Access Protocol) server port number (example:server1:8000
).

).

= name of protocol to use for viewing reports (example: HTTP or HTTPS
).

://GatewayServerName:PortNumber

Where:
siebel.TCPIP
= the networking protocol
none
(first instance) = the encryption type chosen

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
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
