7.14 Configuring Proxy Information

Some features of Oracle Reports Services support retrieving or sending information through a firewall. For example, the URL engine, the XML data source, the Text data source, and the mail destination features all retrieve or send information through the firewall. For these features to function properly, Reports Server requires certain proxy information. To specify proxy information: 1. Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager. 2. Navigate to the Reports Server or Reports Application Home page see Section 7.3, Viewing the Component Topology .

3. From the Reports menu, select Administration Advanced Configuration.

The Advanced Configuration page displays. 4. On the Advanced Configuration page, set proxy hosts and ports available for various protocols, such as http, https, ftp, or file. You can also specify the addresses for which proxies can be bypassed. Note: The jars where pluggable destination classes are available must be available in the REPORTS_CLASSPATH environment variable, or in the WebLogic Server classpath in case of in-process servers Administering Oracle Reports Services Using Oracle Enterprise Manager 7-21

7.15 Managing and Monitoring a Reports High Availability HA Solution

Oracle Fusion Middleware consists of many components that can be deployed in distributed topologies. The underlying paradigm used to enable high availability for Oracle Fusion Middleware is clustering, which unites various Oracle Fusion Middleware components in certain permutations to offer scalable and unified functionality, and redundancy should any of the individual components fail. For more information, see Section 2.5, Setting Up a High Availability Environment .

7.15.1 Configuring Reports Server for High Availability

Refer to Section 2.5.3, Configuring Reports Server for High Availability .

7.15.2 Displaying a Consolidated Job Queue

Refer to Section 7.7.2, Displaying a Consolidated Job Queue .

7.15.3 Specifying a Shared Cache Directory

To specify a shared cache directory for high availability HA: 1. Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager. 2. Navigate to the Reports Application Home page see Section 7.3, Viewing the Component Topology .

3. From the Reports menu, select Administration Advanced Configuration.

The Reports Application Advanced Configuration page displays.

4. In the High Availability Parameters section, in the Cluster Cache Directory field,

enter the path to the shared cache directory for HA, then click Apply. To see the changes, reload the WLS node.
