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. 8-68 Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services

8.5.1.3 namingService

The namingService element is defined in rwnetwork.xsd as follows: xs:element name=namingService xs:complexType xs:attribute name=name use=required type=xs:string xs:attribute name=host use=required type=xs:string xs:attribute name=port use=required xs:simpleType xs:restriction base=xs:integer xs:minInclusive value=1 xs:restriction xs:simpleType xs:attribute xs:complexType xs:element Example namingService name=Cos host=mymachine.mydomain.com port=14021 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 namingService element contains the necessary information required to be able to identify the host name and the port where the COS naming service is running. Specify this element only when the built-in broadcast mechanism is not suitable for your environment, as in the following scenarios: ■ Oracle Reports is installed on a machine that is connected to a network using VPN. ■ You want to avoid broadcast traffic on your network. retry Retry count The Reports Client will retry for the specified number of times, if there is no response from the Reports Server after the timeout period. Note: It is strongly recommended that you do not change the default channel and port unless it is absolutely necessary. The default port value for rwnetwork.conf is assigned when you install Oracle Fusion Middleware. If you want to customize rwnetwork.conf, you must specify a valid port range reserved for Reports Server 14021 to 14030. If you are using the Oracle Reports Bridge for discovering Reports Servers across subnets, you should set the timeout and retry values carefully for the bridge to function correctly. Refer to Table 8–31 for setting the timeout value. Table 8–31 Cont. Attributes of the multicast Element Attributes Valid Values Description
