This process is part of the Roadmap for Configuring Siebel Analytics Platform.

This process describes the configuration of the components required to run Siebel Analytics Web. If you included the Siebel Analytics Web component during the Siebel Analytics Platform installation, you should follow this process.

The Siebel Analytics Web server functions as the connection between any user of Siebel Analytics and the processes of the Siebel Analytics Server processes. After the Siebel Analytics installer is finished with the Analytics platform installation, there are a number of additional tasks you must complete in order to properly configure Web server components.

Configuration of the Siebel Analytics Web components consists the following tasks:

• Configuring Analytics Web
• Configuring HTTP Web Servers for Analytics
• Testing the Analytics Web Server

About Siebel Analytics Web Server Components

Siebel Analytics Web consists of the Siebel Analytics Web Server and the Web (or HTTP) integration server running as separate processes.

NOTE:  The Analytics Web, Analytics Client, and Analytics Server components can be installed to run on separate machines.

• The Analytics Web Server process (sawserver.exe) hosts most of the business logic of Siebel Analytics Web and performs all the functions.
• The Web (HTTP) integration server is a J2EE application server that hosts a Java servlet, which creates socket connections to Siebel Analytics Web server and uses TCP/IP to redirect HTTP requests to Siebel Analytics Web server.

  The servlet conforms to the Java Servlet 2.2 specification, and therefore part of the installation process involves deployment of this servlet.

The Web integration server communicates with Analytics Web server using a proprietary TCP/IP based protocol. In this protocol the HTTP server acts as a client and initiates new connections, while the Analytics Web server listens for incoming requests.

NOTE:  Make sure that this special TCP/IP protocol is allowed by all firewalls or proxy servers in use.
The default TCP/IP listening port for Analytics Web server is 9710.
