20.7 Limitations with Using Distribution

This section outlines the limitations with using distribution in Oracle Reports:

• Delimited Output

• Dynamic Format Values

20.7.1 Delimited Output

• Report bursting and distribution does not support Delimited output format. You cannot specify DELIMITED as an output format in a distribution XML file or in the Distribution dialog box.

  Note:

  You can distribute a report in DelimitedData output format, specified either in a distribution XML file or in the Distribution dialog box in Reports Builder

20.7.2 Dynamic Format Values

XML distribution supports only static values for the format attribute (as seen in distribution.dtd). Thus, you cannot specify lexical parameters (to be resolved at runtime) for the format attribute. Hence the format cannot be dynamically determined either for the entire report or for a specific section.
