REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY
environment variableThis environment variable specifies whether to implement the following features introduced with Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4):
The elimination of the dependency on the DISPLAY
variable
(UNIX only)
Using screenprinter.ppd
for surface resolution for images and font information, which eliminates
the dependency on having a valid printer defined (PRINTER
and
TK_PRINTER
environment variables set to a valid printer, or
a valid entry in uiprint.txt
) for Reports Runtime (UNIX only)
Enhanced imaging support (all platforms)
Valid Values |
|
Default |
|
The Reports Server must be started in batch mode to suppress the UI.
REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY=YES
enables the enhanced imaging support
introduced with the REPORTS_OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT
environment variable and OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT
command line keyword. If REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY=NO
, imaging
support is limited to GIF format (for PDF, HTML, HTMLCSS output) and BMP
format (for RTF output).
On UNIX, REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY=YES
overrides any value set
for the DISPLAY
environment variable. Even if the DISPLAY
variable is defined, the X-Windows display surface will not be used by default.
The surface resolution can be controlled with the entry in the screenprinter.ppd
.
For users upgrading from releases prior to Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4),
this change may impact the appearance, number of pages, output file size,
or performance of existing reports.
This feature is not available on the IBM AIX platform due to lack of functionality
in the IBM JDK 1.4 (does not support headless option). For this reason,
the dependency on DISPLAY
still exists on AIX
To revert to the dependency on DISPLAY
and use screen fonts
(old font look up algorithm):
Set REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY=NO
.
Remove the screenprinter.ppd
entry in the uiscreenprint.txt
file.
Set the DISPLAY
variable to the active X-Windows display
surface.
Printing on UNIX requires some setup and configuration to create the proper
printing environment. For information about printing your reports on UNIX,
refer to the appendix titled "Printing on UNIX with Oracle Reports"
in the Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports
to the Web manual, available on the Oracle
Technology Network Oracle Reports Documentation page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html
