Elements of a Distribution XML File
id string Required. A keyword, unique within a given
distribution XML file, that identifies a particular
file element. This can be a combination of a text

id="a1". The id value must always start with an
alpha character.
name string Required. Variable values allowed. The destination
printer. How you enter this information differs
between Windows and UNIX.

the printer name. For example:
name="\\server_name\printer_name"
For UNIX, specify the alias assigned to a registered
printer. For example:
name="sales_printer"

columns used in the associated report. See
Section 15.2.2 for more information.

Number of copies of each report or each report
group instance to print.
instance this|all Default: all
Used when the foreach element is also present.
With a grouped report that is burst into separate
reports, instance specifies whether the groups
will be broken into separate printed reports
according to each group instance (this) or all
contained within the same printed report (all).
Description
Use the destype element to specify distribution to a custom destination, such as to a
fax machine or an FTP site. You also use destype to specify distribution to a portal
created with OracleAS Portal. The destype element allows for the use of two
sub-elements: propertyinclude and . At least one include is required.
The inclusion of a custom destination type requires that you have a defined
distribution handler in place to usher report content to the custom output destination.
