RE: URGENT REPORTSAn X-DISPLAY application (Reports) needs to access an X-display terminal in order for it to run. You can either give it a real X-terminal, or you can simulate the functionality (pretend X terminal) with software, either Xvbf or VNC. Since the application doesn't need to really display anything, it doesn't know any better, so runs along quite happily.

Guys,

This is a stupid question but how is directing DISPLAY for reports with xterminal services versus the VNC route?

If y'all do choose a VNC route, I'd highly recommend the free and GPL'd TightVNC from http://www.tightvnc.com/

Better compression, better security, and better performance then other RFB-compliant VNC flavors.

Setting up vnc server and directing DISPLAY to that is easier, I think. I have a Apps reports server setup which has run for few years for now with vnc server.
