This task is a step in Roadmap for Integrating Oracle BI Publisher with Siebel CRM for First-Time Installations.

To configure an outbound Web service for Siebel Reports

1. Navigate to the Administration - Web Services screen, then the Outbound Web Services view.
2. In the Name field, query for PublicReportServiceService.
3. Change or verify that the service port address corresponds with Oracle BI Publisher Server.

   The format is:

   http://WebServerHostName:port/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService_v11

   where:

   • WebServerHostName is the full path for Oracle BI Publisher Server
   • port is the port on which Oracle BI Publisher Server resides

     For example, the address might be:
