Settings for the Siebel Analytics Web Chart Image Server
Siebel Analytics Web uses a third-party charting engine to render charts (PopChart Image Server from CORDA Technologies, Inc.). You can override the default image type and browser client connection type by modifying the Windows registry or the Siebel Analytics Web configuration file instanceconfig.xml to add the following entries:
If you are modifying the Windows registry, you need to create a POP key in the Chart key, and create the registry entries in the POP key.
If you are modifying instanceconfig.xml, you need to create the tags <POP> and </POP> after the <ServerInstance> tag, and place your entries between the <POP> and </POP> tags.
For information about working in the Windows registry or the configuration file instanceconfig.xml, see Making Siebel Analytics Web Configuration Changes.
Specifying the Chart Image Type
You can override the image type generated by the PopChart Image Server. The internal default is Flash.
The other choices are GIF (CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format) and PNG (W3C Portable Network Graphics). Flash images provide the greatest degree of interaction because they support mouseover behaviors (such as pop-up data labels), navigation and drilling.
- Windows registry example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.7\Charts\POP
- instanceconfig.xml example:
Specifying How the Browser Client Connects
You can override how a browser client connects to the PopChart Image Server. The default is http://AnalyticsWeb_machine:81/?, where AnalyticsWeb_machine is the machine name where Siebel Analytics Web is running, and 81 is the port number.
This setting must be fully qualified with the port number (if other than 80) using the notation as shown.
