Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows > Installing Siebel Charts >

Changing the Siebel Charts Server Used by Siebel Web Clients

The installation script prompts for the Siebel Charts server location and provides the default value of the localhost. You can change the Siebel Charts server specified for a Siebel Enterprise by using the server administration user interface after you install Siebel Business Applications.

NOTE:  Some Siebel Enterprise settings related to using charts can be set initially or modified using the Siebel Configuration Wizard. For more information, see Configuring the Siebel Enterprise.

To specify the Siebel Charts server for Siebel Web Clients (optional)

1. Log in as the Siebel administrator.
2. Navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, then the Enterprises view.
3. Click the Profile Configuration view tab.
4. Select the named subsystem Server Datasource (ServerDataSrc).
5. In the Profile Parameters list at the bottom of the screen, set the value of the parameter DSChartServer to indicate the host name of the computer where you are running the Siebel Charts server and the port number.

   This parameter specifies the Siebel Charts server connect string. Use the following format for the parameter value:

   Charts_server_hostname:port_number

   You initially specify the Siebel Charts server connect string when you configure the Siebel Server, as described in Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Components and the Siebel Web Server Extension.

6. (Optional) Set the value of the parameter DSChartImageFormat to png (the default), jpg, or gif.

   The value must be in lower case. You initially specify the chart image format when you configure the Siebel Server, as described in Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server Components and the Siebel Web Server Extension.

   NOTE:  For a Siebel Mobile Web Client, set the equivalent parameter, ChartImageFormat, in the configuration file for the Siebel application, such as uagent.cfg for Siebel Call Center.
