This name must follow the Oracle Portal rules for a valid component name; that is: It must be no more than 30 characters It must contain only alphanumeric characters no spaces or special characters allowed. The first character must be a letter not a number. ■ Enter the name that you want to display for this report in the Display Name field. The Display Name is the name that is exposed to your users through Oracle Portal. ■ Select the Portal DB Provider that will own the Reports Server from the Portal DB Provider list of values. The Portal DB Providers displayed are those in which you have privileges to build components.

Use control-click Windows or click UNIX to select multiple servers. ■ Enter the report file name, including its extension in the Oracle Reports File Name field. The report definition file can be an .rdf, .jsp, or .xml file. If the path to this file is included in your REPORTS_PATH environment variable, do not enter it here. If the path is not included in REPORTS_PATH, include it here along with the filename. Do this for all report definition files except those you will run as standalone JSPs. For JSPs, you must define the name as virtual_ pathreportname.jsp. Note: The Display Name, unlike the internal Name, can have spaces in it. Note: All the components you add to or create in Oracle Portal must belong to a Portal DB Provider. Refer to the OracleAS Portal online Help, for more information on how to create a Portal DB Provider.
