Overview of Report Delivery Servers Management

Oracle Analytics Publisher, the report generation and delivery engine, requires configuration and tuning to deliver reports to users.

Report requests are received by Publisher from:

  • Oracle Enterprise Scheduler

  • The Reports and Analytics work area and panel tab

  • Application pages

Requests submitted through Oracle Enterprise Scheduler are processed by the Oracle Analytics Publisher scheduler. Requests submitted through the Reports and Analytics work area or panel tab can be either real-time online requests or scheduled requests. Requests submitted through an application may call Oracle Enterprise Scheduler or may return report request results directly back to the application page.

Oracle Analytics Publisher is configured to accept requests from Oracle Applications Cloud. However, before you can deliver report documents to their destinations, you must define the delivery servers in Oracle Analytics Publisher. Use the Oracle Analytics Publisher Administration page to define your delivery servers.

Once delivery servers are defined, you can further configure the number of report processor and delivery threads to best handle your processing and delivery requirements. In addition, you can configure report properties for the delivery servers or at the report level to tune performance of your reports. To diagnose report processing issues, Analytics Publisher provides a set of scheduler diagnostics.
