16.3.4 Running Reports on Oracle Portal as an Item Link on a Nondefault Installation

When you install Oracle Portal with a nondefault language setting, some entries required to publish a report as an item link on a portal page are not installed automatically. You must install the language of your choice by using the rwlang.sql script. Thus, you must run the script rwlang.sql ORACLE_ HOMEportaladminplsqlwwd if both of the following are true: ■ You have selected at least one language in addition to the default US at the time of installing Oracle Portal. ■ You want to publish a report as an item link in Oracle Portal. To run the script:

1. Change the directory to ORACLE_HOMEportaladminplsqlwwd.

2. Run sqlplus.

3. Log on to Oracle Portal using the portal schema.

4. This is the portal schema used to install Oracle Portal PLSQL packages.

5. Run the rwlang.sql script with the following parameters:

rwlang.sql language_list where language_list is the list of languages separated by commas. For example, to install French and Japanese: rwlang.sql f,ja Usage Note ■ There should be no space before or after the comma , because sqlplus treats the language list as two parameters, instead of one parameter separated by a comma ,. Note: This is a one time post-installation task and will ensure that you can publish a report as an item link on Oracle Portal.
