Registering Oracle Reports Components in OracleAS Portal
Conceivably, you could create a simple calendar that covers the weekdays of an entire
year, then multiple additional simple calendars, where one excludes New Years,
another excludes a second holiday, another excludes a third, and so on. You could
combine all these calendars, excluding all the holiday calendars, so that components
were available only on the days your company is open for business, between certain
times of day, throughout the year.
To combine availability calendars:
1. Log in as an administrator to OracleAS Portal.
2. Navigate to the Builder page.
3. Click the Administer tab.
4. Click the Oracle Reports Security Settings link in the Oracle Reports Security
portlet.
5. Click the Create Reports Combined Calendar Access link in the Reports Calendar
Access portlet.
6. Specify an internal name, display name, and Portal DB Provider for the calendar:
■ Enter a unique name in the Name field that will identify the combined
availability calendar internally in OracleAS Portal, for example, MY_
COMBINED_CALENDAR. This name must follow the OracleAS Portal rules
for a valid component name, i.e.,:
* It must be no more than 30 characters
* It must contain only alphanumeric characters (no spaces or special
characters allowed).
* The first character must be a letter (not a number).
■ Enter the name you want to display for this combined availability calendar in
the Display Name field. The Display Name is the name that is exposed to
your users through OracleAS Portal.
■ Select a Portal DB Provider from the provider list of values. All components
that you add to or create in Portal must belong to a Portal DB Provider. This
list contains the names of only those providers with which you have privileges
to build components.
7. Click Next.
8. (Optional) Enter a description of the Availability Calendar in the Description field.
9. Click Next.
Note: The Display Name, unlike the internal Name, can have
spaces in it.
Note: For information on creating a Portal DB Provider, see the
OracleAS Portal online help.
10. On the Selection page, highlight the calendars on the Availability Calendars list
that you want to combine. The calendars are listed by their internal names, not
their display names. Use control-click (Windows) or click (UNIX) to select multiple
calendars.
