Example
Required/Optional
Optional. You can have as many environment elements as you require.
Description
The environment element defines the characteristics (i.e., environment variables)
that you want to use to establish a particular runtime environment. You may include
as many environment elements as you need (e.g., one for each language/territory you
need to support). Inside an environment element, you can add as many envVariable
elements as required.
By referencing the environment element’s id, you invoke its settings. You can
reference an environment element id from:
■ The defaultEnvId attribute of the engine element in the Reports Server
configuration file, to apply the corresponding environment settings to that engine
when it starts up. For more information, refer to engine.
3-26 Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web
Default: text
Describes the type of plugin being specified.
For text, put in the string that is required to identify
the named plugin parameter, for example, the name of
a mail server. Text means the content of the
pluginParam element is text, so the
getPluginParam() method will return the exact
content specified in the element.
For file, put in the directory path and filename of
the plugin parameter file. Use the standards for
specifying directory paths appropriate to Reports
Server's host machine (either Windows or UNIX).
File means that the content of the pluginParam
element is a filename, and the getPluginParam()
method will return the content read from the file
specified.
For url, put in the full, absolute URL required by the
plugin parameter, for example, the full URL to an FTP
site. URL means the content of the pluginParam
element is a URL, and the getPluginParam()
method will return the content read from that URL.
The URL you use must reside on the same side of the
firewall as OracleAS Reports Services.
Note that when you have a default type (text), it is
not necessary to specify it in the pluginParam string.
The example that heads this section doesn't specify a
type because the plugin parameter, a mail server
name, is the default type, text.
