Installing the Actuate Management Console

---

Actuate Management Console offers the capability to manage one or more Actuate e.Reporting Servers and Report Encyclopedias.

You can install Actuate Management Console on any supported Windows machine on your network.

Siebel Systems recommends that the defaults presented during the Actuate Management Console installation be accepted. If the defaults are not selected, errors could occur that will affect the performance of the Siebel Reports Server.

To install the Actuate Management Console

Insert the Windows Server Ancillary Programs, Language (where Language is the Language Pack you want to deploy) CD 1 of 3 into the CD-ROM drive.
Navigate to the following directory:

Thirdpty\actuate\language\mgmtconsole

Where:

language = the Siebel code for the Language Pack you installed; for example, enu for U.S. English.

Double-click Setup.exe.

Guidelines for the Actuate Management Console Installation

During the installation of the Actuate Management Console, you should take note of the following:

On the Setup Type screen, choose Typical.
On the Deployment Options screen, accept the default of using the Actuate HTTP service as the deployment option.

Using a different application server with the Actuate e.Reprting System is not supported.

On the same screen, accept the default to automatically configure the deployment choice to run this product.
When Next is clicked, you might see a Question dialog box stating that the Actuate HTTP service is not found in the location specified on the Deployment Options screen.

Click Yes to allow the setup to install the Actuate HTTP service in the previously specified location.

On the Actuate HTTP Service Information screen, you can accept the default, 8080, as the port number.

This is the port number that you will use to connect to when accessing the HTTP service.

You may choose to designate a different port number. For more information, see Installing Actuate e.Reporting System manual on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf under Actuate.

On the Account Name screen, when specifying the account information to be used when running the Actuate HTTP service, type the same information used on the Specify Profiles screen of the Actuate e.Reporting Server installation (see Guidelines for the Actuate e.Reporting Server Installation).
On the Server Configuration screen, accept the Host name and port number defaults for the Process Management Daemon and e.Reporting Server Configuration.

You may choose to designate a different port number. For more information, see Installing Actuate e.Reporting System manual on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf under Actuate.

On the Context Path screen, accept the default of acadmin as the context path.

NOTE:  Siebel Systems recommends that the context path, acadmin, not be changed. This context path is integrated into the Siebel application.
