Additional Changes

Added information for using the Disable Caching of ROX parameter to unload the libraries after the completion of report generation in Installing the Siebel Reports Server for Microsoft Windows and Installing the Siebel Reports Server for UNIX.

The Disable Caching of ROX parameter is only available for use with Actuate 6 SP1 (Siebel release 7.5.2.200) or higher.

Starting with this release, the Java Development Kit (JDK) is no longer required as a preinstallation step before installing the Actuate components in Installing the Siebel Reports Server for Microsoft Windows and Installing the Siebel Reports Server for UNIX.

For release 7.5.3, the servlet and JavaServer Page container used with the Actuate product is called the Actuate HTTP service. For release 7.5.2, it was referred to as Tomcat.

The default port number for connecting to the Actuate Active Portal is changed from 8080 to 8700. For release 7.5.2, the default port number for connecting to Tomcat was 8080. For release 7.5.2.x and later, the default port number for connecting to Actuate HTTP Service is 8700.

In the "Enabling the Siebel Reports Server with the Dedicated Web Client" and "Enabling the Siebel Reports Server with the Web Client" sections of the Siebel Reports Administration Guide on the Siebel Bookshelf, the Actuate HTTP service port number for the CFG file parameter (ReportCastHost) or the Server Components parameter (Actuate Server Report Cast Host) must reflect the new port number of 8700. This only applies if you used the default port number of 8080 for the Tomcat service.

The change from Tomcat to the Actuate HTTP service applies to both Installing the Siebel Reports Server for Microsoft Windows and Installing the Siebel Reports Server for UNIX.
