Installing Report Engine with Oracle

Where you are in the Installation process:

You can install the Report Engine on a single computer or on multiple computers.

To install the Report Engine on a single computer

1. Log in as an administrator (Windows) or a root user (Linux) to the computer where you want to install Report Engine.
   NoteOn Linux, ensure that you have installed the nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.9-11.el6.i686 & glibc-2.12-1.47.el6.i686.rpm package.
2. (Optional) If you want to change the default AES encryption size of the Report Engine to 128-bit, set the following environment variable:AES_ENCRYPTION_KEY_SIZE=128
3. Extract the downloaded files to your temporary directory.
4. (Linux) Set the DISPLAY environment variable to ensure that the wizard-based installer launches the screens appropriately.
   export DISPLAY=<IP address of the host computer>:0.0
5. Navigate to the Reports/ReportEngine/platform folder, where platform is Linux or Windows.
