16.2.2 Registering a Report

Registering a report is a required step that enables you to define who can run a report, when a report is available to run, which servers can be used to process report requests, how a report is delivered, and the printers to which a report can be sent. In addition to using registration to designate which users have access to a report, you can also specify, through a Oracle Portal parameter form, how users are to interact with the report. User parameters are created in Oracle Reports Builder at the time of designing the report. You can assign values to these parameters when you run the report in Oracle Portal. Registering a report within Oracle Portal creates an Oracle Portal component that can be deployed as a portlet through Portal. We recommend that you register only one instance of a report file in Oracle Portal. If you define multiple Oracle Portal report objects for one report, all are given security checks at runtime. If any of them fail the security check, then all fail, and the job will not run. To register a report:

1. Log in as an administrator to Oracle Portal.

See Also: Section 16.2.5, The Manage Portlet for more information on the fields and descriptions listed in the Manage portlet that is, Develop, Manage, and Access tabs. Note: You can use the parameter settings available through Oracle Portal to duplicate or create a subset of the parameters defined in Oracle Reports Builder at design time. At runtime, the Reports Server disregards any parameters that you set in Oracle Portal not defined in Oracle Reports Builder at design time.
