Set up the report_listener.properties file

You create and edit the report_listener.properties file to enable Oracle Empirica Signal to run reports in batches.

Before you begin, note the value of the serverid property in the listener.properties file. For more information, see Set up the listener.properties file.

Perform these steps using the non-privileged user account on the application server.

1. Navigate to the <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/WEB-INF/classes directory, for example:

   $ cd <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/WEB-INF/classes

2. If this is a new installation, copy the template_report_listener.properties file into the same directory, and name the copy report_listener.properties, for example:

   $ cp template_report_listener.properties report_listener.properties

3. For all other upgrades, copy your previous report_listener.properties to the <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/WEB-INF/classes directory, for example:

   $ cp /u01/stage/Signal_Install_old/Signal/WEB-
   INF/classes/report_listener.properties
   /u01/stage/Signal_Install/Signal/WEB-
   INF/classes/report_listener.properties

4. Using a text editor, open the report_listener.properties file.
5. If the value of the serverid property in the file is the same value as the serverid property in the listener.properties file, change the value.
6. Save and close the file.
