If you did not specify a server during installation, you can set up the mail server manually before distributing your report to an e-mail destination. You can specify the outgoing mail server using pluginParam in the server config file. EXAMPLE: pluginParam name=mailServersmtp01.mycorp.compluginParam For more information on setting up the mail server, refer to the chapter Configuring Oracle Reports Services in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services manual, available on the Oracle Technology Network Oracle Reports Documentation page http:www.oracle.comtechnologydocumentationreports.html .

When the report is distributed, a single e-mail is sent to one address with all of these files attached to the e-mail. If you set up the distribution.xml file for multiple e-mail addresses, each warehouse or each e-mail address would be sent a single e-mail with a single attachment file that includes the report for that warehouse.
