Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g, included with Oracle Application Server, provides managing and monitoring services for OracleAS Reports Services.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control provides both administration and real-time performance monitoring functions for your Reports Server.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control provides more monitoring functions, but does not provide administration functionality. It provides additional management capabilities, including historical data collection for trending and analysis, J2EE application diagnostics, and insight into your applications' end-user experience.
This chapter describes how to configure the Reports Server for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g, and how to navigate to the Reports Server pages to enable you to manage and monitor OracleAS Reports Services using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g. It includes the following main sections:
Note: The Reports Server pages in Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g include context-sensitive online Help topics that provide information about the items that appear on each page. Click the Help link on each page to display the corresponding help topic. |
See Also: For more information on Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g, refer to the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide, available on the Oracle Application Server documentation CD. |
Reports Servers are automatically configured in Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) and registered with Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g during installation of Oracle Application Server. If you add any Reports Servers after installing Oracle Application Server, you must register the new server(s) in:
The Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g's targets.xml
file. Refer to Section 3.8, "Configuring Oracle Reports to Communicate with Oracle Workflow" for more information on the targets.xml
file and its usage.
The OPMN's opmn.xml
file. Refer to Section 3.7.1, "opmn.xml" for more information on the opmn.xml
file and its usage.
Note: UseaddNewServerTarget.sh (UNIX) or addNewServerTarget.bat (Windows) to add a Reports Server target to targets.xml and opmn.xml . Then, restart OPMN for the change to take effect.
