Managing URL Generation

---

The Siebel Analytics Web administrator can create the following registry entries under a URL key to override how Siebel Analytics Web generates URLs. Add the URL key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5.

Most of the URL registry entries are interrelated.

This entry controls how Siebel Analytics Web generates absolute URLs to the ISAPI extension.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5\URL

AbsoluteCommandURLPrefix

If an entry is explicitly specified, it must be of this form:

protocol://server/virtualpath

where virtualpath is the complete virtual path to Siebel Analytics Web. The default is determined separately for each client, based on the URL sent by the client to the Web server.

This entry controls how Siebel Analytics Web generates URLs for static resources such as images, script files, style sheets, and other user-specified files.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5\URL

ResourceServerPrefix

If an entry is explicitly specified, it must be of this form:

protocol://server

If a virtual path is specified, it will be stripped off. If no entry is specified, this setting defaults to protocol://server from the URL\AbsoluteCommandURLPrefix setting.

This setting also allows a Siebel Analytics Web administrator to designate a separate Web server for delivering static resources, thereby reducing the load on the main Web server. This prefix will be used for the resources that have a fully qualified virtual path of the form `/Path/file'. If a resource file has a relative virtual path of the form `Path/file', the prefix used will be the same used for commands to the Siebel Analytics Web ISAPI extension.

This entry overrides the physical location of Siebel Analytics Web's primary resource files (these are the resource files distributed with Siebel Analytics Web, not user-customized files such as custom styles or skins). The internal default is $(INSTALL_DIR)\Web\App\Res.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5\URL

ResourcePhysicalPath

A full path must be provided. Siebel Analytics Web must have read permission to this path. For example, if this is a shared network resource, the Siebel Analytics Web administrator needs to make sure that the user under which Siebel Analytics Web is running has read access to the share, as well as read access to the file system the share is exported from.

NOTE:  If this entry is different from the physical location of the Siebel Analytics Web DLLs, a setting for URL\ResourceVirtualPath must be specified.

This entry overrides the virtual path used for Siebel Analytics Web's primary resource files as specified by the setting URL\ResourcePhysicalPath. These resource files and customer-defined resource files must be served from the same Web server.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5\URL

ResourceVirtualPath

For generating relative URLs, the virtual path defaults to Res, assuming that the resource folder is present under the same virtual directory as the Siebel Analytics Web DLLs.
For generating absolute URLs, the entry of the value URL\AbsoluteCommandURLPrefix is used as the default.

The value must be a fully qualified virtual path of this form:

`/VirtualPath'

If you omit the leading slash, one will be added.

This entry overrides the physical location of resource files that are not part of a default installation. Such resource files include customized styles and skins. The internal default is $(DataDir)\Web\App\Res, where $(DataDir) is the resolved entry of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Common\7.5\DataDir.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5\URL

CustomerResourcePhysicalPath

A full path must be provided. Siebel Analytics Web must have read permission to this path. For example, if this is a shared network resource, the Siebel Analytics Web administrator needs to make sure that the user under which Siebel Analytics Web is running has read access to the share, as well as read access to the file system the share is exported from.

This entry overrides the virtual path used for resource files that are not part of a default installation as specified in the setting URL\CustomerResourcePhysicalPath. The internal default is Res.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5\

URL\CustomerResourceVirtualPath

This entry overrides whether Siebel Analytics Web will always generate fully qualified URLs for resource files that have fully qualified virtual paths. The internal default is No.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5\URL

ForceAbsoluteResourceURL

When set to No, resources and the ISAPI extension will be served from one server. When set to Yes, default resources are served from the same server as the ISAPI extension, and customer resources are served from another server. Depending on the value of the other settings described in this section, you could also set it up to have default and customer resources served from one server, and the ISAPI extension served from another server.
