Configuring Siebel Analytics to Work with Siebel Web Extension

Whenever you run Siebel Analytics and Siebel Web Extension (SWE) on separate machines, you must perform additional configuration steps in order for action links and interactive charts to work. If, for example, you plan to run the SWE and Siebel Analytics Web on different Web servers, you must use some kind of networking or load balancing mechanism to create a single logical domain (or virtual IP address) for the two machines.

NOTE:  You can use any of several physical methods to create a single logical domain, such as running SWE and Siebel Analytics Web on a single machine (if you are not load balancing SWE), or using a router to do the mapping, or using load balancing software. Your company IT manager must determine the best mechanism to accomplish this routing given the topology used.

By creating one virtual IP address for two machines, the Web browser accesses one IP address, while still being routed to different physical machines, based on the port accessed. To the browser, it appears that both servers are running on the same IP address. This section describes the steps necessary to do this. Configuring Siebel Analytics to work with Siebel Web Extension includes the following tasks:
