Upgrading the Siebel Report Server Access

After completing the upgrade for the Actuate e.Reporting System, you will upgrade the Siebel Report Server Access.

CAUTION:  Install the Siebel Report Server Access release 7.5.2 with the other Siebel servers you are installing for release 7.5.2. You will not be able to go back and install the Siebel Report Server Access release 7.5.2 after the Siebel servers (releases 7.5.2 and 7.5.3) are installed.

To upgrade the Siebel Reports Server Access for Microsoft Windows

  1. Install the Siebel Report Server Access for release 7.5.2.
  2. Install the Siebel Report Server Access for release 7.5.3.
  3. Import the 7.5.3 Siebel Report files to the Report Encyclopedia.

    4. After you install Siebel Report Server Access, you must import the Siebel Report executables (the ROX files) to the Report Encyclopedia.

    From here on, you will refer to the Siebel Report Server Access installation directory (for example, C:\sea) as SIEBEL_RPT_SRVR_ROOT, Actuate e.Reporting Server installation directory (for example, C:\Actuate6\Server) as ACTUATE_HOME.

    To import report files:

    1. Shut down the Actuate e.Reporting Server.
    2. From the Start menu, choose Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
    3. Navigate to ACTUATE_HOME\bin and at the command prompt, enter the following command:

    acimport -vol VOLUME_NAME -path ACTUATE_HOME\etc -if "Siebel Reports" -force -from SIEBEL_HOME\rptsrvr\bin\reports\volume

    1. From ACTUATE_HOME\bin and at the command prompt, enter the following command:

    acimport -vol VOLUME_NAME -path ACTUATE_HOME\etc -if "Siebel Reports\LANGUAGE" -force -from SIEBEL_HOME\rptsrvr\bin\reports\LANGUAGE\volume

    Where:

    VOLUME_NAME = Name of the target volume

    LANGUAGE = the Siebel code, in upper case, for the Language Pack you are installing for this server; for example, ENU for U.S. English

    If error messages appear, see Actuate's Administering Actuate e.Reporting System guide for troubleshooting procedures. This book is available in PDF format on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf under Actuate.

    1. Navigate to ACTUATE_HOME\bin and at the command prompt, enter the following command:

    acimport -vol VOLUME_NAME -path ACTUATE_HOME\etc -if "Siebel Reports" -force -from SIEBEL_HOME\rptsrvr\reportssia\volume_sia

    NOTE:  If you are installing the Reports Server for use with Siebel Industry Applications (such as Siebel eFinance and Siebel eGovernment), you will need to complete Step e and Step f before proceeding to Step 4.

    If you are not installing a Siebel Industry Application, you will proceed directly to Step 4.

    1. From ACTUATE_HOME\bin, at the command prompt, enter the following command:

    acimport -vol VOLUME_NAME -path ACTUATE_HOME\etc -if "Siebel Reports\LANGUAGE" -force -from SIEBEL_HOME\rptsrvr\reports\languagesia\volume_sia

    Where:

    VOLUME_NAME = Name of the target volume

    LANGUAGE = the Siebel code, in upper case, for the Language Pack you are installing for this server; for example, ENU for U.S. English

    language = the Siebel code, in lower case, for the Language Pack you are installing for this server; for example, enu for U.S. English

    If error messages appear, see Actuate's Administering Actuate e.Reporting System guide for troubleshooting procedures. This book is available in PDF format on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf under Actuate.

  4. Start the Actuate e.Reporting Server.
