7.2.3 Example Destination
Registering Destination Types with the Server
This example defines the values to be associated with a portal user ID. It includes the
attributes confidential and encrypted:confidential="yes", which indicate
that the values within this element should be encrypted; encrypted="no", which
indicates that the values are not yet encrypted. The next time the Reports Server starts,
it will automatically encrypt the values and reset encrypted to yes.
Note: Elements and attributes allowable in server configuration
file are determined by the syntax defined in the
rwserverconf.dtd file (ORACLE_
HOME\reports\dtd\rwserverconf.dtd). This is discussed in
detail in Chapter 3, "Configuring OracleAS Reports Services".
What is valid for a destination type's properties depends entirely on the destination
type. These values do not come from Oracle Reports and are not put to use by the
Reports Server. They come from the destination type itself and use terms the
destination recognizes. It is up to the developer to understand the requirements of a
custom destination and to know what properties to associate with a given custom
output type.
When we begin to discuss distribution, you may note that within the distribution XML
file, the destype element also allows for the use of property name/value pairs. It's
important to make a distinction between properties entered for a destination
element in the server configuration file and those entered for a destype element in
the distribution XML file:
■ Properties entered for a destination element in the server configuration file
should deal only with configuring an output type, for example setting an
allowable number of retries for a destination fax.
■ Properties entered for a destype element in the distribution XML file should deal
only with specifying a runtime parameter, for example the identity of the fax's
intended recipient.
The following example illustrate a destination element for pushing content into
OracleAS Portal:
