Enabling External File References on Oracle Publisher Server

This topic provides instructions for enabling a run-time configuration property on Oracle Publisher Server for report generation. The preconfigured report templates that ship with Siebel CRM reference certain functions, such as psfn functions, which are contained in a separate XLSFunctions.jar file. For these psfn functions to be available to the templates during report generation, an external library file on Oracle Publisher Server must be referenced from Siebel.

This task is a step in Process of Installing Oracle Publisher for Integration with Siebel.
