Install the TMS Reports Server

This section describes installing and configuring a Reports Server. The TMS Reports Server runs on Oracle Forms and Reports 12c (12.2.1.19). It schedules batch jobs such as synchronization.

You must install the TMS Front End before installing the TMS Report Server.

Note:

If you have already installed the Oracle Clinical Reports Server on this machine, you do not need to install the TMS Reports Server.

The Installer prevents you from installing two Reports Servers with the same name.

    Note:

    See Use the Silent Installer (Optional) for instructions for running the Installer as a file with pre-entered parameter values.

    Note:

    Although there is a button for deinstalling products on the Welcome screen, Oracle does not support using the Installer to deinstall Oracle Thesaurus Management System.

  4. In the Select a Product to Install page, select Oracle Thesaurus Management System Report Server 5.4.1.0.x.

Attend to the TMS Reports Server Installation Screens

The Oracle Universal Installer guides you through the installation and configuration of the TMS Reports Server.

  2. Choose Install Type: Select Yes to install a fresh instance of Oracle Thesaurus Management System Report Server.
  3. For the question "Do you want to create Report Server Component?", select Yes.
  4. Report Server name: Enter a unique name across your installation. If you try to create a second Reports Server with the same name as the first, the Installer detects it and prevents it.

Review the Installation Log File

For example:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs

If you encounter any error, contact Health Sciences Support.

After you install the TMS Report Server, you must start it. Also, start the FRDomain WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS services.

  1. Start the WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS services in the WebLogic Forms console at http://host:7001/console.
  2. To start the report server, go to ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\FRDomain\bin and run startComponent.cmd for report_server_name.

    Where, report_server_name is the name you had used when the Reports Server was installed.
