Editing the Configuration File

The easiest way to customize theInteractive Reporting Web Client is by editing the settings.ini file manually. The structure of this file should be as follows.

OneTranslationLanguage=<visible|invisible>,<enabled|disabled>
SilentInstall=<true|false>
<Component>=<visible|invisible>,<installed|skipped>
InstallFile=<path to file>
InstalledTranslationLanguages=<language>,<language>,

<Component>—is any of supported for customized installation components (Insight8.3, Font etc.).

<visible|invisible>—defines whether a given option is available to user to change or not.

OneTranslationLanguage—corresponds to “install only one language matching user’s login” option.

SilentInstall—sets the silent install mode. If the option is set to true, neither the component selection dialog or the installation complete notification dialog are shown, and no user interaction is required.

InstallFile and <path to file>—provides information to the installer about additional files that should be installed. There can be an arbitrary number of InstallFiles entries each defining file to install. The path should be relative to the CustomFiles folder.

InstalledTranslationLanguages—defines the subset of installed translations. The <language> parameter is any of the supported translation languages (French,Italian,Japanese etc.). If an option is present in the settings.ini, only translation files for selected languages are installed.

Configuration File Examples

Examples of how you might configure the settings.ini are shown below:

In the default configuration, Insight 8.3 is installed as well as all translation languages:

OneTranslationLanguage=invisible,disabled
SilentInstall=false
Insight8.3=invisible,installed
Help=visible,installed
Fonts=visible,installed
Translation=invisible,installed

Instructions are given to install only one translation file matching the language of the installation:

OneTranslationLanguage=invisible,enabled
SilentInstall=false
Insight8.3=invisible,installed
Help=visible,installed
Fonts=visible,installed
Translation=invisible,installed

Instructions are given to install only a selected subset of translation languages:

OneTranslationLanguage=invisible,enabled
SilentInstall=false
Insight8.3=invisible,installed
Help=visible,installed
Fonts=visible,installed
Translation=invisible,installed
InstalledTranslationLanguages=French,Italian,Japanese

Instructions are given not to install Insight 8.3:

OneTranslationLanguage=invisible,disabled
SilentInstall=false
Insight8.3=invisible,skipped
Help=visible,installed
Fonts=visible,installed
Translation=invisible,installed

Instructions are given to allow the user the choice of installing Insight 8.3, install a selected subset of translation languages, but not to install Fonts or Help files:

OneTranslationLanguage=invisible,disabled
SilentInstall=false
Insight8.3=visible,skipped
Help=invisible,skipped
Fonts=invisible,skipped
Translation=invisible,installed
InstalledTranslationLanguages=French,Italian,Japanese

Instructions are given not to install anything except the main Oracle's Hyperion® Interactive Reporting Web Client plugin and translations, and to perform silent install (no user interaction). Note that it doesn’t matter that the individual component’s state is set to visible. The SilentInstall switch overrides it:

OneTranslationLanguage=invisible,disabled
SilentInstall=true
Insight8.3=visible,skipped
Help=visible,skipped
Fonts=visible,skipped
Translation=invisible,installed

Instructions are given to install additional custom translation files and the non-default brioqplg_ev.ini:

OneTranslationLanguage=invisible,disabled
SilentInstall=false
Insight8.3=invisible,installed
Help=visible,installed
Fonts=visible,installed
Translation=invisible,installed
InstallFile=PluginFolder\Translations\Latin\briottbl.txt
InstallFile=Translations\Latin\briottbl.txt ; the launcher’s translation
InstallFile=brioqplg_ev.ini
