Understanding Report Distribution Nodes

The report distribution node defines how your reports are moved to the Report Repository, where you can view them from Report Manager. Reports are moved using XCopy, FTP, FTPS, SFTP or HTTP and HTTPS, depending on the type of server that you are using.

Before transferring the files to the Report Repository, determine which transfer protocol to use.

Setup	Transfer Protocol
Both PeopleSoft Process and Web server on Microsoft Windows.	Use XCopy, FTP/FTPS, SFTP or HTTP/HTTPS. Note: For XCopy, the Report Repository directory must be a shared drive on the network.
PeopleSoft Process Scheduler on Microsoft Windows and a UNIX Web server.	Use FTP/FTPS,SFTP or HTTP/HTTPS.

Note:

If you are using FTP/FTPS or SFTP, the corresponding daemon must be set up on the Web server.
