Specifying the location of the connection configuration file

mcremer

Good day,<br />
<br />
I have been trying for to configure my connection configuration file for my iServer Express (trail version atm).<br />
I am trying to do as stated <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.com/be/documentation/R11/mc/help/deployment/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#context=deployment&file=dbconn.06.06.html'>here</a>.<br />
<br />
However I haven't been successful to find the location were they point towards.<br />
<br />
However by loging in to the configuration console (trough <a class='bbc_url' href='http://servername:8900/acadmin/config/'>http://servername:8900/acadmin/config/</a&gt; & <a class='bbc_url' href='http://servername:8900/acadmin/'>http://servername:8900/acadmin/</a>)<br />
<br />
I bounced upon a second system console (at pure change so I am quite surprised). <br />
<br />
Normaly when I go to <a class='bbc_url' href='http://servername:8900/acadmin/config/'>http://servername:8900/acadmin/config/</a&gt; I end up at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://servername:8900/acadmin/system/simpleview.jsp'>http://servername:8900/acadmin/system/simpleview.jsp</a&gt; however I ended up a few times at a more extended view at the url <a class='bbc_url' href='http://zlm-birto:8900/acadmin/system/systemmanager.jsp'>http://zlm-birto:8900/acadmin/system/systemmanager.jsp</a&gt; this gave me a few more options compaird tot he simpelview however not the options need to do the <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.com/be/documentation/R11/mc/help/deployment/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#context=deployment&file=dbconn.06.06.html'>connection configuration</a>.<br />
<br />
Eny sugestions?

Hi mcremer,<br />
BIRT iServer - Evaluation Edition (also called iServer Express) offers only simple view(...simpleview.jsp) of the configuration console. The full version offers an advanced view (...xxxmanager.jsp) and I think you probably might have stumbled upon this view. This view provide a GUI for defining the location of connection configuration file. For the former you will have to do it manually in the following configuration file:<br />
<install dir>\iServer\etc\acserverconfig.xml <br />
Locate "Template" tag and add "ConnConfigFile" parameter like:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
...
<Templates>
<Template
Name="servername"
PMDPort="8100"
ActuateBuild="110B100926"
LogDirectory="C:\Program Files\Actuate11\iServer/log"
ActuateVersion="11"
ConnConfigFile="C:\Actuate11\connection"
ServerSOAPPort="11100"
...
</pre>
