Enabling the Report Review Agent
Using the Report Review Agent, you can copy an entire report or log file or simply one page at a time to your PC, subject to restrictions you, as the System Administrator, impose on file transfer size.
Attention: Some of the steps below require that you perform some actions on your Oracle Applications server as well as on the client. Ensure that you have run the Release 10SC Server update patch on your server before proceeding.
1. Your database administrator can enable RPC capability (the Remote Procedure Calls used by the Report Review Agent) on your applications server by completing the following steps in order:
1. Install the RPC libraries into your current ORACLE server installation. Follow the instructions in the readme.txt file found on the Oracle Server and Applications Server Update CD.
2. For Applications Server Releases 10.5 and 10.6 (with RPC capability already enabled as described above), run both AutoInstall patch #350831 and concurrent manager/file server patch #351575.
2. To set up the Report Review Agent, a database or computer administrator must modify the SQL*Net configuration using Oracle Network Manager. See the 10SC Installation Guide for details on modifying your SQL*Net configuration.
3. Set the File Server:Enabled profile option to "Yes" to invoke the Report Review Agent to access files on concurrent processing nodes. See: System Profile Values Window.
5. Set the File Server:Maximum Transfer Size profile option to specify, in bytes, the maximum allowable size of files transferred by the Report Review Agent, including those downloaded by a user with the "Copy File..." menu option in the Oracle Applications Report File Viewer and those "temporary" files which are automatically downloaded by custom editors.
6. Set up your directory tree so that the concurrent managers place all log and out file directories in the same parent directory. See the Oracle Applications Installation Manual for your server platform for details on setting the necessary environment variables.
Briefly, you direct the concurrent managers to place log and report output files for all products in the same parent directory by setting the environment variable APPLCSF on the server to the directory where all log and output files should reside. You must use names acceptable in DOS for all paths.
Note: The APPLCSF environment variable is specific to your server. The APPLCSF variable is not used on the client.
