Configuring OracleAS Reports Services
When you install Oracle Application Server, OracleAS Reports Services is configured
automatically for you. There will likely be adjustments you wish to make to customize
your environment, but you will not be required to set up the entire environment, or
even most of it.
This chapter is included largely for reference, should you wish to introduce
customizations or have a better understanding of the default configuration. It lists
services-related configuration files and describes in detail the content of most of them.
It includes the following main sections:
■ OracleAS Reports Services Configuration Files
■ Configuring Reports Server
■ Configuring the Reports Servlet
■ Configuring the URL Engine
■ Entering Proxy Information
■ Configuring Reports Server with the Oracle Process Manager and Notification
Server and Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g
■ DISPLAY and Printer Dependencies on UNIX
■ Setting the default printer for an in-process server
Note: The examples in this chapter use ORACLE_HOME to denote
where the Oracle Application Server (Oracle Application Server) is
installed. Oracle Application Server includes OracleAS Reports
Services.
Another aspect of configuration is the setting of environment variables. These are set
for you automatically during installation. For reference, environment variables are
discussed in Appendix B, "Reports-Related Environment Variables".
3.1 OracleAS Reports Services Configuration Files
This section identifies the various configuration files associated with OracleAS Reports
Services. In most cases, you can leave these files untouched. Because they control
many aspects of your server environment, you could put that environment at risk if
you change a file in some unsupported way. Always keep a back-up of the current
version of any configuration file you plan to change.
