Installing the Reports Server in Unattended Mode
This section provides instructions for installing Reports Server without the installation GUI, using unattended mode. NOTE: For more information about installing Reports Server, see Installing the Siebel Reports Server. In particular, review the information presented in Preinstallation Tasks for the Siebel Reports Server.
Editing the siebel.ini Files for Reports Server
Before starting the Reports Server installation, you must modify portions of the siebel.ini file, as described in the following section. After you are done with the installation, you can perform configuration in GUI mode as described later on in this chapter. To modify the siebel.ini file for the main installer
- Using a text editor, modify the siebel.ini file for the Siebel Reports Server.
NOTE: Make a copy of each siebel.ini file you plan to modify, and save it in a unique location that identifies the module it pertains to. Preserve these copies in case you may need them for later reference.
- Siebel Reports Server. UNIX_OS/Server_Ancillary/actuate/siebel.ini.
where:
UNIX_OS = The type of UNIX you are installing
CAUTION: When you modify a siebel.ini file, make sure that you enter the correct values, because your entries are not validated by the installer.
- Locate the
[Dialog.ActuateServer.Unix] section.
Using the following as an example, change the values to reflect your configuration requirements:
[Dialog.ActuateServer.Unix] Readme = no LocaleTimeZone = no PMDHostPort = no iServerHostPort = no EncyclopediaVolume = no AutoStart = no AdminPassword = no MgmtConsoleHTTPPort = no
- Locate the
[Defaults.ActuateServer.Unix] section.
Using the following as an example, change the values to reflect your configuration requirements:
[Defaults.ActuateServer.Unix] Locale = 21 TimeZone = 19 PMDHost = machine_name PMDPort = 8100 iServerHost = machine_name iServerPort = 8000 EncyclopediaVolume = volume_name AutoStart = Auto AdminPassword = MgmtConsoleHTTPPort = 8900
- Locate the
[Dialog.ActuatePortal.Unix] section.
Using the following as an example, change the values to reflect your configuration requirements:
[Dialog.ActuateActivePortal.Unix] License = no LocaleTimeZone = no HTTPPort = no EncyclopediaVolume = no iServerHostPort = no PMDHostPort = no
- Locate the
[Defaults.ActuateActivePortal.Unix] section.
Using the following as an example, change the values to reflect your configuration requirements:
[Defaults.ActuateActivePortal.Unix] Locale = 21 TimeZone = 19 HTTPPort = 8700 EncyclopediaVolume = volume_name iServerHost = machine_name iServerPort = 8000 PMDHost = machine_name PMDPort = 8100
If you are installing iServer in the same installation, the following parameters should have the same values as in [Defaults.ActuateServer.Unix] :
Locale TimeZone EncyclopediaVolume iServerHost iServerPort PMDHost
Table 15 displays the Reports Server component keys in the siebel.ini file. It also indicates whether the keys are always required and the conditions in which keys may be required. If a key is required, then there must be a corresponding value in the siebel.ini file.
