Often, a default value can be set in more than one way. This leads to a hierarchical relationship among the various default settings, where one default takes precedence over another. Figure 1 - 26 illustrates the order of how printer or print style values are read by the concurrent manager when submitting a report program to run.
Attention: Defining a concurrent program with a default print style, or requiring a concurrent program to output a specific print style, does not make that style available at a printer. You must assign the print style, and its corresponding printer driver, to each printer type you wish to print from.
If a printer is not included as part of a concurrent program's definition, then default printer settings may be entered, as indicated in the table below. Users can override any default setting at runtime.
Printer Assignment Hierarchy
Form | Explanation |
---|---|
Concurrent Programs System Administrator | As System Administrator, you can define a concurrent program to always direct its output to only one specific printer. |
This setting cannot be overridden at runtime or when defining a report in a report set. | |
Request Set System Administrator | As System Administrator, you can assign a default printer to a report within a report set. |
Request Set Application Users | Users can assign a default printer to a report within a report set, when they own the report set. |
This default setting can be changed by the System Administrator. | |
Personal Profile Values Application Users | Users can assign a default printer for all their reports using their Personal Profile Values form. |
This assignment overrides the default Printer profile option set by the System Administrator. | |
System Profile Values System Administrator | As System Administrator, you can assign a default printer to an installation site, Oracle application, responsibility, or user. |
Users can override this setting at runtime. | |

Print Style Assignment Hierarchy
Form | Explanation |
---|---|
Concurrent Programs System Administrator | As System Administrator, you can require a concurrent program to generate its output in a specific print style. |
This setting cannot be overridden at runtime or when defining a report in a report set. | |
If a Print Style is entered in a program definition, but is not required, it serves as the first default setting to be read. | |
Request Set System Administrator | As System Administrator, you can assign a default print style to a report within a report set. |
Request Set Application Users | Users can assign a default print style to a report within a report set, when they own the report set. |
This default setting can be changed by the System Administrator. | |
