Verifying Symbolic URL Arguments that Embed Oracle Publisher Scheduling Views in Siebel Application

The Scheduled Reports view in the Siebel application is for managing scheduled reports. This view is an embedded Web page from the Oracle Publisher Enterprise application. To configure this view, you implement a symbolic URL to display external contents in the Siebel user interface by specifying how to construct the external application and define arguments and values that are passed to the Siebel client. For more information about working with symbolic URLs, see Siebel Portal Framework Guide.
