16.3 Publishing Your Report as a Portlet

After you have registered your Oracle Reports, you can expose your report in a portal by performing the following steps: 1. Create a provider for your reports. This step defines a provider to contain the reports you wish to make available to users in the portal. Alternatively, you can use the existing providers included, by default, with Oracle Portal. Refer to Section 16.3.1, Creating a Provider for Your Reports . 2. Add the report as an item link 1 or as a portlet 2 to a page and optionally customize it. This makes the report available to users on a page and enables the page designer to set the report parameters and schedule it to run automatically. You can also distribute report output to Oracle Portal. Refer to: ■ Section 16.3.2, Adding the Report Portlet to a Page ■ Section 16.3.3, Adding the Report as an Item Link to a Page ■ Section 16.3.4, Running Reports on Oracle Portal as an Item Link on a Nondefault Installation ■ Section 16.3.5, Distributing Report Output to Oracle Portal
