This section provides a brief description of the Oracle Reports components and the keywords that each component can use.
rwclient (Reports Client) parses and transfers a command line to the specified Reports Server.
All file names and paths specified in the client command line refer to files and directories on the server machine, except for any file specified for the following command line keywords:
CMDFILE=filename. In this case, the CMDFILE specified is read and appended to the original command line (of which CMDFILE is a part) before being sent to the Reports Server. The runtime engine does not reread the command file
DESNAME=filename DESTYPE=LOCALFILE. In this case, DESNAME refers to files on the client machine.
Refer to Table A-1 for the keywords that can be used with rwclient.
Examples
Example 1: Running a paper report to cache
rwclient server=myrepserv report=test.rdf userid=scott/tiger@mydb desformat=pdf DESTYPE=cache
Example 2: Sending report output to a file
rwclient server=myrepserv report=test.rdf userid=scott/tiger@mydb desformat=pdf DESTYPE=file DESNAME=c:\mydir\test
Example 3: Sending report output to a printer

rwclient server=myrepserver report=test.rdf userid=scott/tiger@mydb destype=file desformat=pdf desname=test.pdf NOTIFYSUCCESS="emp@comp.com" NOTIFYFAILURE="admin@comp.com"
Example 13: Running a report that specifies a URL to be fetched with the URL engine
rwclient server=myrepserver report=test.rdf userid=scott/tiger@mydb destype=file desformat=pdf desname=test.pdf JOBTYPE=rwurl URLPARAMETER="http://www.oracle.com"
rwrun (Reports Runtime) runs a report by starting its own in-process server (not to be confused with the default in-process Reports Server), which runs in the same JVM as the rwrun process.
The configuration file for this in-process server is rwbuilder.conf and trace files are saved in the rep_machinename-rwbuilder directory.
Note:
It is recommended that you use
rwrun for testing purposes only. Use rwservlet and rwclient in your production environment to take full advantage of the power of Oracle Reports Services.Refer to Table A-1 for the keywords that can be used with rwrun.

rwrun report=test.rdf userid=scott/tiger@mydb destype=file desformat=pdf desname=test.pdf NOTIFYSUCCESS="emp@comp.com" NOTIFYFAILURE="admin@comp.com"
rwbuilder invokes Oracle Reports Builder. When you include a REPORT|MODULE keyword on the command line with rwbuilder, Oracle Reports Builder opens with the specified report highlighted in the Object Navigator. When no report is specified, Oracle Reports Builder opens with a Welcome dialog offering you the choice of opening an existing report or creating a new one.
Refer to Table A-1 for the keywords that can be used with rwbuilder.
Example
rwbuilder report=myrep.rdf userid=scott/tiger@mydb
rwconverter (Reports Converter) enables you to convert one or more report definitions or PL/SQL libraries from one storage format to another. For example, you can use rwconverter to:
Combine a report file with an XML file to create a new report
Convert a report stored in an .rdf file to a .rep,.rex,.jsp, or .tdf (template) file.
Note:
When a report is converted to a template, only objects in the report's header and trailer sections and margin area are used in the template. Objects in the main section are ignored.Convert a report stored in a .rex file to an .rdf or a template (.tdf file)
Convert a library stored in the database to a .pld or .pll file
Convert a library stored in a .pld file into a database library or a .pll file
Convert a library stored in a .pll file into a database library of a .pld file
Note:
When you convert a report that has an attached library, convert the .pll files attached to the report before converting the .rdf/.rex file.Create a PL/SQL script that batch registers reports in Oracle Portal
In some cases, rwconverter automatically compiles the report's PL/SQL as part of the conversion process. Provided your conversion destination is not a .rex file, rwconverter automatically compiles PL/SQL under the following conditions:
Converting to a .rep file. If there are compile errors, rwconverter displays an error message and the .rep file is not created.
Using a .rex file as the source. If there are compile errors, rwconverter displays a warning, but the conversion continues.
Using a report created on another platform than the source. If there are compile errors, rwconverter displays a warning, but the conversion continues.
In all other situations, you must compile the report's PL/SQL yourself (for example, using Program > Compile > All in Oracle Reports Builder).
Note:
Fonts are mapped when a report is opened by Oracle Reports Builder or Reports Runtime, not during the conversion.Refer to Table A-1 for the keywords that can be used with rwconverter.
Example:
rwconverter scott/tiger@mydb stype=rdffile source=inven1.rdf dtype=xmlfile dest=inven1_new.xml
rwservlet (Oracle Reports Servlet) translates and delivers information between either a Web server or a Java EE Container (for example, Oracle WebLogic Server) and the Reports Server, allowing you to run a report dynamically from your Web browser. Optionally, it can use the in-process Reports Server, which reduces the maintenance and administration of the Reports Server by providing a means for starting the server automatically, whenever it receives the first request from the client.
The keywords used with rwservlet are also known as Web commands. Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) introduces security access levels for rwservlet Web commands, based on two categories:
End user Web commands are: GETJOBID, KILLJOBID, SHOWAUTH, SHOWJOBID.
Administrator-only Web commands are: DELAUTH, GETSERVERINFO, KILLENGINE, PARSEQUERY, SHOWENV, SHOWJOBS, SHOWMAP, SHOWMYJOBS.
Administrators are allowed to run both end user and administrator-only Web commands. For a non-secured server, the user ID and password for administrators can be set in the identifier element of the Reports Server configuration file.
The security access levels are specified using Oracle Enterprise Manager, as described in Section 7.8.4, "Defining Security Policies for Web Commands":
Note:
When you userwservlet to run a JSP, you can use all keywords applicable to rwservlet. For more information on running a JSP with rwservlet, see Section 18, "Running Report Requests".Note:
The following keywords are commands rather than keyword=value pairs; that is, these keywords are entered by themselves without a corresponding value: SHOWENV, SHOWJOBS, SHOWMAP, SHOWMYJOBS, KILLJOBID, KILLENGINE, PARSEQUERY, DELAUTH, GETJOBID, and GETSERVERINFO.Refer to Table A-1 for the keywords that can be used with rwservlet.

rwserver (Reports Server) processes client requests, which includes ushering them through its various services, such as authentication and authorization checking, scheduling, caching, and distribution (including distribution to pluggable output destinations). Reports Server also spawns runtime engines for generating requested reports, fetches completed reports from the reports cache, and notifies the client that the job is ready.
Refer to Table A-1 for the keywords that can be used with rwserver.
To manage Reports Server using Oracle Enterprise Manager, refer to Chapter 7, "Administering Oracle Reports Services Using Oracle Enterprise Manager".
For manual configuration, see Section 8.2, "Reports Server Configuration File".
rwbridge (Oracle Reports Bridge) is used when Reports Server and Oracle Reports Client are in different Farms. Oracle Reports Client uses the default broadcast mechanism for server discovery, which sends packets that can travel only within a Farm. The Oracle Reports Bridge can bridge two Farms in a network. It intercepts the packets broadcast by Reports Server and Oracle Reports Client and transfers them to the remote bridges configured in the Oracle Reports Bridge configuration file.
There are no command line keywords for rwbridge.
To configure the Oracle Reports Bridge, refer to Section 7.5, "Configuring Oracle Reports Components".
To start and stop the Oracle Reports Bridge, see Chapter 6, "Starting and Stopping Oracle Reports Services".
