To register a printer:
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. The Oracle Reports Security portlet enables you to use the security
features in OracleAS Portal at the time of defining access to the server, printer,
calendar, and reports definition file.
5. Click the Create Reports Printer Access link in the Reports Printer Access
portlet.
6. On the resulting page, the Name (internal name) and Portal DB Provider fields
contain default values. To include custom values:
■ Enter a unique name in the Name field that will identify the printer internally
in OracleAS Portal, for example, MY_PRINTER. 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 that you want to display for this printer in the Display Name
field. The Display Name is the name that is exposed to your users through
OracleAS Portal.
Note: The Display Name, unlike the internal Name, can have
spaces in it.
■ Select the Portal DB Provider that will own the printer from the Portal DB
Provider list of values. The Portal DB Providers displayed are those in which
you have privileges to build components.
Note: All components you add to or create in OracleAS Portal
must belong to a Portal DB Provider. Refer to the OracleAS Portal
online help, for more information on how to create a Portal DB
Provider.
