Changing the Siebel Charts Server Used by 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 an Enterprise by using the Server Administration UI after you install client 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 Performing Configuration Tasks.

To specify the Siebel Charts server for Web clients

1. Log in as the Siebel Administrator.
2. Navigate to Administration - Server Configuration, then Enterprises.
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 the name of the machine on which you are running the Siebel Charts server. This parameter specifies the Siebel Charts server connect string.

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

6. Set the value of the parameter DSChartImageFormat to png, jpg, or gif. The default is png.

   You initially specify the chart image format when you configure the Siebel Server, as described in Configuring Siebel Enterprise Server and Related Components.

   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.
