| To view the reports in the homepages delivered with Infor ERP LN, install the ERP LN Report Viewer. You can install the Report Viewer on the Web UI server, or on any other machine. To install the Report Viewer, you must deploy it to Tomcat. Points of attention: The Report Viewer requires Java 5 or higher. The ERP LN shared libraries, which are used to access the ERP LN database, are 32 bits, and can only work with a 32 bits Java version. Therefore, the Report Viewer only supports 32 bits Java and Tomcat versions (or versions that are started in 32 bits mode). Choose Tomcat as your servlet container. The Report Viewer does not run in combination with other Java servlet containers, such as IBM Websphere Express. Install Tomcat 5.5 or higher. Report Viewer and Web UI can run on the same machine, however this will impact on the performance adversely. Therefore, it is recommended to install Report Viewer and Web UI on different machines.

Define Report Viewer settings on the Web UI server. Define the BIRT_TEMP variable. For details, refer to the following sections.

For an instructional example, see "Deploy Web UI and Report Viewer on Tomcat" in appendix B.

To do this, complete the following steps: Start the Infor ERP LN Web UI Administration Console. In the Infor ERP LN Web UI Administration pane, click Infor ERP . Then click Report Viewer .

Note: This directory must be present and writable for the user who runs the Report Viewer Web server. To run the Report Viewer, Web UI, and ERP LN on a single machine You can run the Report Viewer, Web UI, and ERP LN on the same machine. This can be desirable for consultants who want to perform demonstrations using their laptop standalone. If the Report Viewer, Web UI, and ERP LN run on the same machine, you must set the BSE and BIRT_TEMP variables, and the shared library path should include $BSE/shlib. In the Web UI Administration Console, you must specify the DNS name of the local host in the Hostname field in the Report Viewer page. For details, refer to Appendix A, "System Requirements".
