Preinstallation Tasks for the Siebel Reports Server

---

For important preinstallation considerations, see the section titled "Configuring an e.Reporting System user account" in Installing Actuate e.Reporting System guide. (This guide is available 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.

The Actuate open security application that uses the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is not supported for use with the Siebel eBusiness application.
For the Siebel eBusiness Application, installing the Actuate e.Reporting System in a cluster environment is not supported.

CAUTION:  To install Siebel eBusiness Applications, you must have 50-100 MB of disk space on your system drive (usually your C: drive) even if you intend to install Siebel eBusiness Applications onto another drive.
