8.5 Network Configuration File

The network configuration settings for the Oracle Reports Bridge component of Oracle Reports Services are stored in the XML file rwnetwork.conf. The rwnetworkconf.xsd contains data type definitions for rwnetwork.conf elements and attributes. See Section 8.5.1, Network Configuration Elements . These files are located in the directories specified in Table 8–1 .

8.5.1 Network Configuration Elements

The rwnetworkconf.xsd file provides the following data type definitions for configuring rwnetwork.conf elements and attributes: ■ discoveryService ■ multicast ■ namingService

8.5.1.1 discoveryService

The discoveryService element is defined in rwnetwork.xsd as follows: xs:element name=discoveryService xs:complexType xs:choice xs:element ref=multicast xs:element ref=namingService xs:choice xs:complexType xs:element RequiredOptional Required. You can have a maximum of one open tag and one close tag in the discoveryService element in a given configuration file. Description The discoveryService element opens and closes the content area of the network configuration file. In terms of the files hierarchy, all the other elements are subordinate to the discoveryService element. The discoveryService element has no attributes. It includes two sub-elements: ■ multicast: see Section 8.5.1.2, multicast ■ namingService: see Section 8.5.1.3, namingService

8.5.1.2 multicast

The multicast element is defined in rwnetwork.xsd as follows: Configuring Oracle Reports Services 8-67 xs:element name=multicast xs:complexType xs:attribute name=channel default=228.5.6.7 type=xs:string xs:attribute name=port default=14021 xs:simpleType xs:restriction base=xs:integer xs:minInclusive value=1 xs:restriction xs:simpleType xs:attribute xs:attribute name=timeout use=required xs:simpleType xs:restriction base=xs:integer xs:minInclusive value=100 xs:restriction xs:simpleType xs:attribute xs:attribute name=retry default=3 xs:simpleType xs:restriction base=xs:integer xs:minInclusive value=1 xs:restriction xs:simpleType xs:attribute xs:complexType xs:element Example multicast channel=228.5.6.7 port=one of the port in alotted AS ports timeout=1000 retry=3 RequiredOptional Conditional. The namingService and multicast elements are mutually exclusive; that is, only one of these elements can be configured at a time. Description The multicast element contains the necessary information to identify where Reports Server is running the built-in broadcast mechanism. By default, multicast is specified in rwnetwork.conf. The multicast element attributes are described in Table 8–31 . Table 8–31 Attributes of the multicast Element Attributes Valid Values Description channel Broadcast channel The broadcast channel used by the Reports Server. port Broadcast port The broadcast port used by the Reports Server. timeout Time in milliseconds it should wait for response. The optimum value for this setting is 1000. The Reports Client will wait for the specified timeout period for a response from the Reports Server.
