Configuration Keys

Use the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml) to configure many elements for Oracle BI Presentation Services behavior. Do not use any keys unless you are overriding the stated default values. You should keep the instanceconfig.xml file as short as possible and override only those settings that are necessary for configuring your implementation.

For organizations that use Oracle Application Server, Oracle recommends that you use Oracle Application Server Control to modify configuration files. For organizations that use other application servers, Oracle recommends that you use JConsole. For more information, see the Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.

All configuration keys follow this format:

<key_name>value</key_name>

Example: add configuration keys for DefaultTimeoutMinutes (Level is "/") and MaxVisiblePages (level is "/PivotView") to instanceconfig.xml
