Managing the Siebel Analytics Web Charting Settings

You can change certain Siebel Analytics Web charting settings from their internal default settings by adding entries to the Windows registry or the Siebel Analytics Web configuration file instanceconfig.xml:

In Windows, the installation process creates the following registry key for the charting function:

\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.7\Charts

If you are modifying the Windows registry, you can place the entries described in this section in the Chart key.

If you are modifying the file instanceconfig.xml, you need to create the tags <Chart> and </Chart> after the <ServerInstance> tag, and place your entries between the <Chart> and </Chart> tags.

For information about working in the Windows registry or the configuration file instanceconfig.xml, see Making Siebel Analytics Web Configuration Changes.

Specifying the Location of Temporary Storage for Chart Cache

You can override the internal default entry for the location used by Siebel Analytics Web as temporary storage for chart cache. The internal default is dirletter:\SiebelAnalyticsData\Temp\nQWCharts, where dirletter is the drive where the Siebel Analytics Web software is installed.

The location should be a fully-qualified path name, such as d:\SiebelWebChartCache. The folder or directory structure must exist before you start the Siebel Analytics Web service again.

<Charts>
   <CacheDirectory>/usr/local/SiebelAnalytics/Data/temp/chartcache</CacheDirectory>
</Charts>

Specifying the Interactive Behavior of Charts

You can override the default interactive behavior of Siebel Analytics Web charts. Valid entries are Drill, Navigate and None. The default is Drill. This means that charts are created drillable by default.

If you specify Navigate, charts navigate to the URL described in Specifying the URL for Chart Navigation. If you specify None, charts are noninteractive; for example, clicking on a chart or chart region does nothing.

Specifying the URL for Chart Navigation

If you specify Navigate as the interactive behavior of charts (described in Specifying the Interactive Behavior of Charts), you can override the default URL to which charts navigate. The internal default URL is http://www.siebel.com/.

If the interactive behavior is not Navigate, this entry is ignored.

<Charts>
   <DefaultNavigationPath>http://www.intranet.com/</DefaultNavigationPath>
</Charts>
