Modifying the Instanceconfig.xml File for Advanced Reporting

This task is part of the Process of Manually Configuring Siebel Analytics and Actuate iServer for Advanced Reporting, and shows how to modify the instanceconfig.xml file for different deployments of Advanced Reporting Edition. The following are the two main tasks:

• Connecting the Actuate iServer and Analytics Web Server
• Connecting Javahost and Analytics Web Server

The configuration values in the following code samples are summarized in Table 36.

Connecting the Actuate iServer and Analytics Web Server

The following procedure configures the connection between the Actuate iServer and the Analytics Web Server. Refer to Table 36 for the values in the square brackets.

To configure Siebel Analytics Web for Advanced Reporting

1. On the machine where Siebel Analytics Web is installed, open the file instanceconfig.xml.
2. Add the information shown in the following code example to the file instanceconfig.xml.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <WebConfig>
     <ServerInstance>
   . . .
       <AdvancedReporting>
          <ServerURL> http://[iServer_name]:8000</ServerURL>
          <Volume>[volume_name]</Volume>
          <ServerAnalyticsODBCDSN>AnalyticsWeb</ServerAnalyticsODBCDSN>
          <WebURL>http://[Actuate_JSP_name]:8700/acweb/</WebURL>
          <AdminURL>http://[iServer_name]:8900/acadmin</AdminURL>
          <JavaHostServiceString>sawtcp://[Javahost_name]:9810</
            JavaHostServiceString>
          <ConnectStringParameter>[ConnectString]</ConnectStringParameter>
       </AdvancedReporting>
   . . .
     </ServerInstance>
   </WebConfig>

Connecting Javahost and Analytics Web Server

Depending on your particular deployment, you might have Javahost and Siebel Analytics Web installed on different machines. The following procedure shows how to modify instanceconfig.xml to allow Javahost to accept inbound communication from the Siebel Analytics Web.

To configure Advanced Reporting Javahost for Siebel Analytics Web

1. On the machine where Javahost is installed, open the file instanceconfig.xml.
2. Add the information shown in the following code example to the file instanceconfig.xml.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <WebConfig>
     <ServerInstance>
   . . .
          <JavaHost>
             <Listener>
               <PermittedClientList>[SAW__Hostname_or_IP]</PermittedClientList>
             </Listener>
          </JavaHost>
   . . .
     </ServerInstance>
   </WebConfig>

In Table 36, the Tag Name parameters are identified by their relative path starting from the node

/WebConfig/ServerInstance/AdvancedReporting/

For further information about using instanceconfig.xml, see the section on configuring the Javahost service in the Siebel Analytics Web Administration Guide.
