Running the Advanced Reporting Edition Installer Under UNIX


Operating System: UNIX only.

This task is a step in the Installation Steps for Advanced Reporting Edition. The installation program for Siebel Analytics Advanced Reporting Edition is located on the Siebel Analytics DVD in the folder \Client_Ancillary.

NOTE:  If you deploy Actuate iServer and Actuate Active Portal on separate computers, you must run the Advanced Reporting Edition installer twice; that is, on each computer that is running an Actuate product.

To run the Advanced Reporting Edition installation wizard under UNIX

  1. If your deployment already includes installed Actuate components, make sure that the following Actuate daemons are not running, or stop them:
    • Actuate Process Management Daemon
    • Actuate HTTP Service
  2. Make sure your deployment of Actuate products is the correct version. For information about supported platforms, configurations, and limitations for Analytics Advanced Reporting Edition, see the Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Siebel Analytics release 7.8.4, available on SupportWeb.
  3. Set PATH variables to include the following:
    • java
    • xterm
  4. Access the Siebel_Analytics_Advanced_Reporting installation folder, and then run the program setup.sh.

    NOTE:  Be sure to run only the setup.sh program from the folder Siebel_Analytics_Advanced_Reporting, not from the other folders.

    • Install Advanced Reporting Edition on the same machines on which iServer and Active Portal are installed.

      The installation wizard window appears and prompts you through each screen.

    • The meanings and default for each screen and prompt for the Siebel Analytics Advanced Reporting Edition installation are listed in Table 35.

      NOTE:  The screens or prompts that are visible depend on your particular Actuate product deployment.

  5. Start the following Actuate daemons for the installation to take effect:
    • Actuate Process Management Daemon
    • Actuate HTTP Service
