elimination of a single point of failure, further supporting the possibility of a fail-safe

OracleAS Reports Services provides event-based reporting. This uses database events
to trigger the generation of a report. For example, you can define an event that signals
a change in revenue levels above or below a particular watermark. If the change occurs
in the database (the event), a report is automatically generated. This feature is
discussed in detail in Chapter 17, "Using Event-Driven Publishing".
OracleAS Reports Services includes a distribution module that uses XML to define
unique configurations for the distribution of reports. Call the desired XML file from
the runtime command line or URL to generate one report, and let the server handle
diverse outputs and destinations. Processing time is significantly reduced and
configuration changes can all be handled within the XML file. This feature is discussed
in detail in Chapter 15, "Creating Advanced Distributions".
