Starting and Stopping OracleAS Reports
Services
This chapter provides information on starting and stopping OracleAS Reports
Services. It includes the following main sections:
■ Starting and Stopping the Reports Server
■ Verifying that the Oracle HTTP Server Is Running
■ Verifying that the Reports Servlet and Server Are Running
Note: The examples in this chapter use ORACLE_HOME to denote
where the Oracle Application Server is installed. This includes
OracleAS Reports Services.
If you plan to run reports on the Web, you must first start the Oracle HTTP Server.
You'll find information on doing this in your Oracle Application Server
documentation. When you follow any of the procedures in this chapter, we assume
you have already started the Oracle HTTP Server.
2.1 Starting and Stopping the Reports Server
The best way to run the Reports Server is through the Oracle Process Manager and
Notification Server (OPMN). OPMN provides a centralized mechanism for initializing,
maintaining, and shutting down your Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Application Server
Containers for J2EE processes, and OracleAS Reports Services. For more information
about configuring the Reports Server through OPMN, refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring
OracleAS Reports Services".
Note: Another advantage of configuring your Reports Server
through OPMN is that OPMN will automatically restart a Reports
Server if it crashes for some reason.
2.1.1 Starting, Stopping, and Restarting Reports Servers from Oracle Enterprise
Manager 10g
When the standalone Reports Server is configured through OPMN, as it is by default,
you can start, stop, and restart it through Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g.
