Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How does Concurrent Manager call Report Builder?
Naveen,
All of this is correct. The _reason_ an Xserver is required for Oracle reports is on account of a special type of report called the 'Bitmapped' report. This report apparently requires a currently running Xserver to generate graphic characters based on Fonts. Using Xvfb gets rid of these issues, and yes, there is a lot of teeth gnashing on Metalink on this...
To answer the original question, I do have to point to the the Docs (all thousands of pages!) on Oracle Apps, but the starting points are "Oracle Applications Developer's Guide" Part No A83705-03 and "Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide" Part No A75396-07. I have also found iLearning.oracle.com a great resource (if you have access to it). There are a number of courses out there that can help.
