Configuring Reports Server
These elements along with their related attributes and sub-elements are discussed in
the following subsections.
3.2.1.1 server
Example
[One or more configuration specifications]
Required/Optional
Required. You can have a maximum of one open and close server element in a given
configuration file.
Description
The server element opens and closes the content area of the server configuration file.
In terms of the file's hierarchy, all the other elements are subordinate to the server
element.
3.2.1.2 compatible
Example
Required/Optional
Optional. You can have a maximum of one compatible element in your server
configuration file.
Description
The compatible element is available for backward compatibility with Reports 6i
clients (RWCLI60, RWCGI60, RWQMU60.EXE, RWRQM60.EXE, RWRQV60.EXE, 6i
Forms). When compatible is set to 6i, Reports Server will make use of an executable
file, named rwproxy, that listens for requests from a 6i client and forwards them to a
9i server.
Compatible has one attribute: version, described in Table 3–2.
Table 3–2 Attributes of the compatible element
Attribute Valid values Description
version 6i Setting version to 6i enables Reports 6i clients to run
under Oracle Reports. When version is set to 6i,
versions earlier than 6i may also run under Oracle
Reports, but they are not certified to do so and are not
supported by Oracle.
If you use the compatible element, you must also have an entry for Reports Server
in the tnsnames.ora file as you would have had for the 6i version of Reports Server.
The installer configures the tnsnames.ora file for the default Reports Server, i.e.,
rep_machine_name.
