Scheduling is a very important feature for any reporting system, which enables you to schedule long-running reports, to be run at a specified time and date. This enables you to select a time and date at which the load on the system is low, to run your daily/weekly and/or monthly reports. In this topic, you configure the BI Publisher scheduler to schedule the reports and view the report history and saved output.

On the Admin tabbed page, click the Scheduler Configuration link in the System Maintenance section.
On the Scheduler Configuration page: Select Oracle 10g from the Database Type drop-down list. Enter Connection String in the format:

Click Test Connection.
