Process of Configuring the Analytics Web and HTTP Servers (UNIX)

The UNIX version of Siebel Analytics Web consists of the Siebel Analytics Web Server and the Web (or HTTP) server running as separate processes.

• The Analytics Web Server process (the Web server executable) hosts most of the business logic of Siebel Analytics Web and performs all the functions.
• The Web (HTTP) server is a J2EE application server that hosts a Java servlet, which creates socket connections to Siebel Analytics Web server and uses TCP/IP to redirect HTTP requests to Siebel Analytics Web server.

  The servlet conforms to the Java Servlet 2.2 specification, and therefore part of the installation process involves deployment of this servlet.

NOTE:  The Analytics Web, Analytics Client, and Analytics Server components can be installed to run on separate machines.

After installing and configuring Siebel Analytics Web, the general process of Configuring the Analytics Web server with the HTTP server is as follows:

1. Configure a Web server.
2. Create a link to the Web server from one of the third-party Web servers.

The tasks involved for configuring each type of Web server are shown in the following topics:

• Configuring a Custom Name for a Virtual Web Server
• Creating a WebARchive (WAR) File for Siebel Analytics Web
• Process of Installing Siebel Analytics Web on Sun ONE Web Server (Solaris)
