Siebel Correspondence, Proposals, and Presentations Guide > Document Server > (Optional) Configuration for the Document ServerThis topic describes a number of optional configurations for the Document Server:
(Optional) Configuring Report GenerationIf you plan to include report sections in proposals, you must specify the Actuate connect string. Set this parameter on each object manager that will be submitting document requests. The value of the parameter will be included in the request sent by the object manager to the DocServer. When DocServer begins processing the request, it will use the parameter to connect back to the object manager to retrieve data for the report. To specify the Actuate connect string
For example, if srvrmgr> change param ActuateConnStr=siebel.tcpip://gtwy/siebel/SCCObjMgr/Sieb01 for comp SCCObjMgr The parameter ProposalReportTimeoutInSecond also affects the generation of reports. This is the time-out setting that controls how long the Document Server component will wait for a report to be generated. The default value is 1800 seconds. (Optional) Enabling HTML Generation for CorrespondenceBy default, correspondence is only saved in document format, not in HTML format. In the My Correspondence Requests view, the View HTML command is unavailable, and the user cannot view the correspondence in HTML format. The server parameter DocumentServerViewHTML specifies whether the Document Server generates HTML versions of documents. The default value is FALSE. By default, the Document Server only generates documents in their native format, and not in HTML. To allow the user to display correspondence in HTML format, you must edit the parameter DocumentServerViewHTML to give it the value True instead of False. Any documents generated after the parameter is enabled is saved in both formats. When you generate HTML documents, a copy of the generated document is created in HTML and stored in the Siebel File System. This may affect performance, and it will increase the storage space required in the File System. The clarity of the HTML document depends on your Office application's ability to translate its native format into HTML. Entering the following command allows generation of HTML versions of Correspondence, Proposals, and Presentations. To enable generation of HTML versions of documents
NOTE: While this procedure uses the Server Manager, parameters can also be changed using the Administration - Server Configuration screen. (Optional) Configuring Application Recycle PeriodYou use the parameter MSWordLiveCount to control how often the Office applications are restarted. Each parameter can be set to a positive integer that specifies the number of documents to be processed before it shuts down and restarts the corresponding Office application. A value of 0 (the default) indicates that the applications will not be shut down. If the parameter value is set to any integer other than 0 and the Document Server fails to launch, the corresponding application will be shut down and then restarted again. To change the values of these parameters
(Optional) Specifying the Target ServerIf you are running multiple Document Servers within the same enterprise, then the server infrastructure will route document requests to different Document Servers in order to achieve load balancing. However, it sometimes may be useful to specify that all requests be routed to one Document Server. For example, you can do this to help diagnose a server problem. To route all requests to one document server (Optional) Enabling Additional LoggingYou may want to enable additional logging. This can be helpful for debugging. The event logging system writes events to the log file based on the log level for each event type. The number you specify indicates the filtering level for logging. The default value is 3, which means that events with a level of 1, 2, or 3 will be logged, while events with a level of 4 or 5 will be suppressed. Setting the filtering level to 5 means that all events will be logged. NOTE: In the final command on the list, the parameter must be in quotation marks, because it has a space in it. In the other commands, quotation marks are optional and are not included in the list.
