Charting Image Server Installation and Configuration for Windows

---

Siebel Analytics uses a third-party charting image server to determine the look and feel of generated images on Siebel Analytics Web.

NOTE:  The charting image server installation is integrated into the Analytics Installation Wizard.

This section describes what happens during the installation of PopChart Image Server (PCIS) on Windows.

Installation Considerations

• The image server runs as a separate server. If you configure it to run on a port other than the default port (81), you must reconfigure Analytics Web to point to the new location.
• It is possible for Analytics Web and the image server to run on separate machines, but for administrative as well as performance reasons, it is recommended that they be installed on the same machine.
  • The registry value is

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.5\Charts\POP\ServerPrefix

  • Set this registry value to the root URL for the image server.
  • Create the POP registry key under the Charts key.
  • Create a new string value called ServerPrefix. The ServerPrefix value is generally of the form:

  http://machinename:port/?

  NOTE:  The trailing /? is necessary and must be included.

• Before beginning the image server installation, do the following:
  • Decide on a directory where you want to install the binaries for the image server.
  • Decide on a port number that you want the image server to listen on.
  • Stop the Analytics Web service.
