Adding an HTTP Server

You can register an application URL or postprocess HTTP URL as an HTTP server to send a notification request to after the report has completed.

The HTTP notification sent by BI Publisher posts a form data for Job ID, report URL and Job Status to the HTTP Server URL page.

To set up an HTTP notification to integrate with a third-party application, see Developer's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher. To enable an HTTP notification for a scheduled report, see Configuring Notifications in User's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.

To add an HTTP server

1. From the Administration page, select HTTP to display the list of servers that have been added. Select Add Server.
2. Enter a name for the server, and enter the URL. When the report finishes processing, BI Publisher posts form data for Job ID, report URL and Job Status.
3. Enter the Security information, if required. If your server is password protected, enter the Username and Password. Select the Authentication Type: None, Basic, or Digest; and Encryption Type: None or SSL.
4. If the notification is to be sent through a proxy server, enter the fully qualified Host name, the Port, the Username and Password, and Authentication Type of the proxy server.
