Configuring Reports Server
Description
The persistFile element identifies the file that records all job status. It is used by
Reports Server to restore the server to the status it held before shutdown.
It is named persistFile because the file remains intact, or persists, even when the
server is brought down and restarted.
The server persistent file is created automatically the first time you start the server or
the first time you start the server after the current server persistent file has been
deleted or renamed. If you want to rename this file but continue using it, enter the new
name in the server configuration file before you actually rename the file, then restart
the server.
The persistFile element has one attribute, fileName, described in Table 3–16.
Table 3–16 Attributes of the persistFile element
Attribute Valid values Description
fileName string Default: server_name.dat
The name and, optionally, the path of the server
persistent file. You can leave the path off if the file is
kept in its default directory:
ORACLE_HOME\reports\server\
The path is the same for Windows or UNIX.
3.2.1.15 identifier
Example
fpoiVNFvnlkjRPortn+sneU88=NnN
Required/Optional
Optional. You can have a maximum of one identifier element in your server
configuration file.
Description
The identifier element is automatically written to the configuration file when you
first log in to Reports Queue Manager as an administrator. The first login sets the
Reports Queue Manager's administrator user ID and password. That information is
encrypted and written to the server configuration file, then used for authentication for
all future Queue Manager logins.
If you forget the Queue Manager login or need to change it, delete it and reenter it in
Reports Server configuration file in the following format:
username/password
You should immediately start Reports Server after making this change. Doing so
automatically encrypts the user name and password and resets encrypted to yes. It
will look something like this:
fpoiVNFvnlkjRPortn+sneU88=NnN
