Installing Siebel Reports Server Utility

---

Siebel Reports Server Utility is an executable program that can be used to remove completed request notifications accumulated in the Report Encyclopedia. This utility should reside on the same machine where the Actuate e.Reporting Server is installed.

NOTE:  Before using actcleanup6.exe or modifying the acmetadescription.xml file, you should make a backup of the acmetadescription.xml file.

To install Siebel Reports Server Utility

Insert the Web Client Ancillary Programs CD 1 of 2 into your CD-ROM drive of your chosen computer.
Navigate to the following directory:

Thirdpty\actuate\language\actutil

Copy actcleanup6.exe to a machine where the Actuate e.Reporting Server is installed.

Place the copy of actcleanup6.exe into the \bin directory of the Actuate e.Reporting Server, for example C:\Actuate6\Server\bin.

The usage of actcleanup6.exe is as follows:

actcleanup6 -l username1;username2;...;usernamex -d n -u login name -p password -m report server machine name

-l Required. Completed request notifications will be cleaned up for the list of users specified. User names are separated by a semicolon (;) only (no spaces). If all completed request notifications are to be erased, enter ALLUSERS.

-d Optional. Completed request notifications which are n days or older will be cleaned up. The n must represent a non-negative integer. If -d is not specified, all completed request notifications will be cleaned up.

-u Required. Login name of the Reports Server administrator.

-p Required. Password of the Reports Server administrator.

-m Required. Reports Server machine name.

NOTE:  When -d option is used, ALLUSERS will not include user Administrator.

This program must run on a Windows machine where the Actuate e.Reporting Server is installed.

Customers who have more than 5000 Reports Server users and want to use actcleanup6.exe will need to perform the following instruction.

To use actcleanup6.exe for release 7.5.2.200

Set the RSAPIFetchLimit volume setting to a number larger than the total number of users in the encyclopedia.

This setting can be changed by opening the acmetadescription.xml file and changing the RSAPIFetchLimit under the Volume element as follows:

<Variable Name="RSAPIFetchLimit"

Type="UnsignedInteger"

Required="false"

DisplayName="Maximum

number of elements that can be returned in one RSAPI request"

TakesEffect="ServerRestart"

DefaultValue="5000"

ContainerObject="Volume"/>

The default value of RSAPIFetchLimit is 5000. The acmetadescription.xml file is located in the \etc directory of the Actuate e.Reporting Server installation (for example, C:\Actuate6\Server\etc).

NOTE:  A change in the RSAPIFetchLimit value requires a Server Restart in order for the new default value to take effect.
