Configuring the Financial Reporting Print Server

You must install Financial Reporting Studio before you can configure the Financial Reporting
Print Server. See “Installing Financial Reporting Studio and Financial Reporting Print Server”
on page 110. In addition, the Financial Reporting Application Server must be installed,
configured, and running.


To configure the Financial Reporting Print Server:
1 From windows exporer, navigate to FinancialReportingStudio_Installation_Location/products/financialreporting/install/bin and open FRSetupPrintServer.properties in a text editor.


2 Specify the Financial Reporting Server URL and administrator credentials used to register the Financial Reporting Print Server:
FRWebServer=http://server:port (specify the same Server URL used when connecting from Financial Reporting Studio)
AdminUser=userName
AdminPassword= password


3 From a command line, navigate to FinancialReportingStudioInstallationLocation/products/financialreporting/install/bin/ and run the following command:
FRSetupPrintServer.cmd to configure and register the Print Server.


4 Ensure that the Financial Reporting Print Server service has been created and started. You might have to start it manually the first time.


>> In addition, note the follow requirement


To print cell documents, the corresponding “print” applications (Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) on the Print Server machine must have the following characteristics:
-- Be properly installed
-- Be properly registered for printing in the computer’s registry
-- Be available to the “SYSTEM” account
-- Have access to, and be able to print from, the printers installed by Financial Reporting (HRPrinter1-5). The 


SYSTEM account issues all print requests, so it is important that the applications can print using the Print Server’s printers.
