Setting the DISPLAY Variable

Prior to starting the Reporting and Analysis Web application server components on UNIX, set the DISPLAY environment variable to an available physical or virtual (Xvfb) graphics device address; for example:

DISPLAY=hostname:0.0 ; export DISPLAY

For the sake of convenience, it is recommended that DISPLAY be initialized automatically by editing the Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Web application server components start scripts.

Note:

Only the Financial Reporting Web application server component and Production Reporting require DISPLAY to be set. Oracle Hyperion SQR Production Reporting requires DISPLAY in order to generate charts using the New Graphics feature.

Tip:

You can set display for Financial Reporting by editing setCustomParamsFinancialReporting.sh in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/deploymentScripts.
