Environment variables are parameters that configure the Oracle Reports environment. The OracleAS installer automatically defines default values for relevant environment variables. If you want something other than the default environment, you can edit the environment variable settings:
On Windows, edit environment variables through the Registry Editor (Start > Run > Regedit).
reports.sh
). If you
do this, be sure to keep a backup of the original, unaltered reports.sh
file.Note: The reports.sh
file in Oracle Reports 10g
Release 2 (10.1.2) may contain some required changes. Thus, if you have made
any changes to the reports.sh
file, save a backup before you perform
your upgrade. Post-upgrade, merge your modifications with the reports.sh
file installed with 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).
The table provides an alphabetical summary list of all the Oracle Reports environment variables alphabetically, showing valid and default value:
