Reports-Related Environment Variables
Environment variables are parameters that configure the environment that hosts
Oracle Reports. The Oracle Application Server installer automatically defines default
values for relevant environment variables. If you want something other than the
default environment, you can edit the environment variable settings:
■ For Windows, edit the environment variables through the Registry Editor (Start >
Run > Regedit).
■ For UNIX, edit the environment variables by revising and running the shell script
that defines the initial default values (reports.sh). If you do this, be sure to keep
a backup of the original, unaltered reports.sh file.
The information in this appendix is also documented in the Reports Builder online help,
which you can access in two ways:
■ From the Oracle Technology Network,
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/), click Documentation and
navigate to the Reports Builder Online Help for the most recent, hosted online help.
■ From Reports Builder, choose Help > Help Contents.
B.1 Environment Variables
Note: If you are upgrading to Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4), the
reports.sh file contains some required changes. If you have
modified your current reports.sh file, save a backup and, after
installing Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4), merge your modifications into
the reports.sh installed with 10g (9.0.4).
This sections lists all the environment variables that you can set in Oracle Reports.
■ For more information on all NLS environment variables, see the Oracle
Application Server 10g Globalization Guide on the Oracle Technology Network,
(http://otn.oracle.com).
■ The environment variables shown with an asterisk (*) are supported in Oracle
Reports for backward compatibility for Common Gateway Interface (CGI) reports,
or when Single Sign-On is not used.
Note: The functionality of JavaServer Pages (JSPs) or servlets
replaces support for CGI.
