Publishing Reports to the Web - Downloads - Oracle

Publishing a Report in OracleAS Portal
Provider to which it belongs. The location of the provider depends on how the
Portlet Repository has been organized. If the Portal DB Provider is a fairly new
provider, it may be under the New page of the Portlet Repository.
9. Click the name of your report portlet to add it to the Selected Portlets list.
10. Click OK.
11. Click Customize in the upper right corner of your report portlet.
12. Enter parameter values in the Parameter tab and, if desired, schedule the job to
run automatically in the Schedule tab.
13. You can control the size of the portlet by specifying the Portlet Width and Portlet
Height parameters on the Customize page for the Reports Definition File object.
The value of these parameters may be a percentage (%) or a number of pixels.
For example, you can enter:
Portlet Width: 90%
Portlet Height: 480
If no value is specified, Oracle Application Server Reports Services uses its default
value (640 pixels wide and 320 pixels high).
If the Portlet Width and Portlet Height fields are visible to users, then they can
also adjust each portlet’s width and height via Customize. The user’s value will
override the value set in the Customize page of the Reports Definition File Object
component.
14. You can choose whether to make a report’s parameters visible to users through the
Customization page of a Reports Definition File Access component.
To make a report’s parameters visible to users:
a. Click Customize at the bottom of the Manage Component page for the report.
b. Click Visible to user for each parameter you want to expose.
Note: You can also set the default value of the parameter from this
page.
The value from the Manage Component page will always be used as the
default value in the Customize page for the portlet. If the parameter you are
exposing has a corresponding OracleAS Portal page parameter, and you leave
the parameter value empty in the Customize page, the portlet inherits the
page parameter’s value. If the user enters a value for the report portlet’s
parameter, that value will override the page parameter value.
Note: Running reports from within OracleAS Portal requires the
HTML iframe tag, which is not supported in Netscape 4.x. As a
result, the following limitations apply when using Netscape 4.x:
■ A report portlet cannot display in place if you are using HTTPS
or if it is not a JSP report. You need to click on the portlet title to
see the report in a separate browser window.
■ A report portlet cannot be scheduled to run via the Customize
link if you are using HTTPS.
