Installing the Actuate e.Reporting Server

---

Use the following instructions to install the Actuate e.Reporting Server, accepting any defaults.

Siebel Systems recommends that the defaults presented during the Actuate e.Reporting Serve installation be accepted. If the defaults are not selected, errors could occur that will affect the performance of the Siebel Reports Server.

To install the Actuate e.Reporting Server

Insert the Windows Server Ancillary Programs, Language (where Language is the Language Pack you want to deploy) CD 1 of 3 into the CD-ROM drive.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the following directory:

Thirdpty\actuate\language\ereportserver

Where:

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

Double-click Setup.exe.

Guidelines for the Actuate e.Reporting Server Installation

During the installation of the Actuate e.Reporting Server, you should take note of the following:

On the Setup Type screen, choose Typical.

Installing the Actuate e.Reporting System in a cluster environment (a custom installation) is not supported for use with Siebel applications.

On the Specify Profiles screen, type a services profile user name and password. This is the e.Reporting System user account mentioned in the Preinstallation Tasks.

Siebel Systems suggests that you accept the default to automatically start the Actuate e.Reporting Server when the Process Management Daemon is started.

By setting this, you will not have to manually start the e.Reporting Server after starting the Process Management Daemon.

On the Configure Actuate System Administration Password screen, type a user-specified password for the Actuate system administrator.

System Administration is accessed through the Actuate Management Console.

The system administration password entered here is the one used when logging into the System Administration from the Management Console. The default user name is Administrator.

To start or stop the e.Reporting Server Services, see Administering Actuate e.Reporting System manual on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf.
