The default configuration of the application is to use the open source BIRT viewer, repackaged as the CuramBIRTViewer, to view all reports. The following steps will change this configuration to use an iServer instance, it assumes that all the steps to configure the iServer and upload the content have been followed. The full details of the options and parameters for the Actuate Interactive Viewer are described in the "Working with Actuate BIRT Viewers" manual, supplied with BIRT iServer.
- Login to the Cúram application as a System Administrator.
- Select BI Configuration and select edit for the Viewer Configuration.
- Make the following changes:
- Set the Root to match the Actuate server, http://$server:8900.
- Set the Context to iportal.
- Set the Servlet to executereport.do.
- Set the Report Name Parameter to __executablename.
Save these changes.
- The following parameters also need to be defined:
- __wait with a value of wait.
- __progressive with a value of true.
- __requesttype with a value of immediate.
- invokeSubmit with a value of true.
- __saveOutput with a value of false.
- If user propagation, for example using Single Sign On, has not been switched on the following parameters need to be defined to automatically login to the iServer
- forceLogin with a value of false.
- userId with a value of a valid username.
- For any embedded analytics the toolbar displayed by the Actuate Interactive Viewer is likely to intrude on the space available, and so it should be switched off. This can be achieved by defining an additional parameter __format with a value of html. This can be defined for the Viewer Configuration, thereby switching it off for all reports, or can be defined for individual reports allowing it to be switched off where desired.
