Preinstallation Tasks

---

For important preinstallation considerations, see the section titled "Configuring an e.Reporting System user account" in Installing Actuate e.Reporting System guide for the operating system that you have installed. (This guide is available in PDF format on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf under Actuate.) Read this section carefully and discuss it with your system administrator so that an account for the Siebel Reports Server can be allocated.

Note the following information when installing the Actuate e.Reporting System:

Starting with Siebel 7.5, a separate license key is required when installing the Actuate e.Reporting Server.

If you have the Siebel Reports Server license and have not received the Actuate license key letter, contact Siebel Technical Support to request the Actuate license key referencing Alert 557: Siebel eBusiness Applications version 7.5 - Installation of Reports Server Software.

The servlet and JavaSever Page container used with the Actuate e.Reporting System is the Actuate HTTP service.

The Actuate HTTP service is included in the installations for the Actuate Management Console and the Actuate Active Portal.

With the Siebel eBusiness Application, the Actuate Management Console and the Actuate Active Portal can not be integrated with an application server.

Before installing the Actuate components on your machine, install the Java Development Kit (JDK), and establish a new system variable. The JDK is required for Actuate e.Reporting Server, Actuate Management Console and Actuate Active Portal.

NOTE:  These instructions assume that the Actuate components are installed on one machine. If the Actuate components are installed on multiple machines make sure that JDK is installed on all of these machines.

To install the Java Development Kit

Insert the UNIX_OS Server Ancillary Programs, Language CD 1 of 2 into your CD-ROM drive.

Where:

UNIX_OS indicates the type of UNIX being installed

language = the Siebel code for the Language Pack you installed; for example, enu for U.S. English.

Navigate to the following directory:

Thirdpty/actuate/language/dist/j2se

Where:

language = the Siebel code for the Language Pack you installed; for example, enu for U.S. English.

Depending on the type of UNIX being installed, do one of the following:

For Solaris

Enter the following command at the command prompt:

./j2sdk-1_3_1-solsparc.sh

For AIX

Copy Java131.rte.tar to a writable directory.
