This topic provides instructions for configuring an outbound Web service to integrate Siebel applications with Oracle Publisher Server for running Siebel Reports. It ensures that the service port address corresponds to Oracle Publisher Server.

This task is a step in Roadmap for Integrating Oracle Publisher with Siebel 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 Publisher Server.

   The format is: http://<WebServerHostName>:<port>/xmlpserver/services/ PublicReportService_v11

   where:

   • WebServerHostName is the full path for Oracle Publisher Server

   • port is the port on which Oracle Publisher Server resides. For example:

     The address for BIP might be: http://BIPServerHostName:7001/xmlpserver/services/ PublicReportService_v11

     The address for OAP might be: http://OAPServerHostName:9502/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService_v11

4. Clear the Siebel Server cache to make sure that the changes are propagated to run-time memory.
