Starting and Stopping the Reports Server
The following subsections tell you how to set up each of these options.
2.1.3.1 Installing and Starting the Reports Server as a Service (Windows)
By default, the Reports Server is installed as an in-process server, but, if you wish, you
can install the Reports Server as a service on a Windows machine. To do so, at the
command prompt enter:
rwserver -install server_name [batch=yes/no] [autostart=yes/no]
For batch, the default is no. Enter yes if you do not want to be prompted for
confirmation during installation. For autostart, the default is no. Enter yes if you
want the service to start automatically at reboot without requiring a user to manually
start the Reports Server.
Add the cluster name to this command if this server will be a member of a cluster. For
example:
rwserver -install server_name.cluster_name [batch=yes/no] [autostart=yes/no]
To learn more about clustering servers together, see Chapter 12, "Clustering Reports
Servers".
To start your Reports Server on Windows:
1. On the machine that hosts the Reports Server, choose Start > Settings > Control
Panel and double-click Services in the Control Panel folder.
2. In the Services dialog box, choose Oracle ORACLE_HOME Reports [repserver],
where ORACLE_HOME is the home directory of the Reports Server and repserver
is the name of the Reports Server instance.
3. Click Startup. The Services dialog window displays.
4. In the Services dialog window, select This Account in the Log On As section, and
select an operating system user name and password. This specifies the user
account under which the server process is run.
5. Set the Startup Type of the service to Automatic when the system is started.
6. Click OK.
Note: To remove the Reports Server service, type the following at
a command prompt: rwserver -uninstall server_name.
Include the cluster name if the server is a member of a cluster, for
example: rwserver -uninstall server_name.cluster_
name.
Note: If you want to output to PostScript or to a printer, then
ensure the user running the Reports Server service has access to a
default printer. Do this by using a specific, real user who has
printer access when you set up the Log On As section of your
Windows service. Typically, the System Account does not have
access to printers.
For that matter, the user running the Reports Server service must
have access to anything the server may need. For example, the
server may need write access to another drive.
