How to define a report manager ?

Question

Hello Friends,
I'm a newbie to Oracle Apps R12. I have created a user TEST and have assigned responsibilities : General Ledger User, General Ledger Super User, Financial Management, Report Manager, Report Manager Public Reports.
But when i try to run the report 'Chart of Accounts - Account Hierarchy', i get the following error.
Phase : Inactive
Status : No Manager
Request ID : 4348352
Diagnostics : This request will not be processed because there are currently no managers running that can process it. This is an error condition. There are one or more managers defined that can process this request that should be running at this time, but do not appear to be running. Contact your system administrator and/or check the manager log files for errors.
I guess i need to have a report manager. And i read the following somewhere,
" The Report Manager seeded functions need to be assigned manually by the System administrators to appropriate responsibilities based on the types of reports a user submits and publishes in their job. For example, a system administrator might assign the Financial Report Template Editor and Financial Report Submission functions to an existing General Ledger responsibility already used for submitting Financial Reports by General Ledger users."
But my question is how do i add functions to a existing responsibility.
For starters, i need to be able to run an existing report.
Pls guide me.
Thanks,
Amol

Answer 1

The Standard manager and the Conflict Resolution manager and most of other managers have now started. It was only that the Node value was not defined for these managers. I updated it and they were activated.
Please excuse me as being a beginner, my questions may seem silly.
Now, how do i view a report output after submitting a report request ?
Will the output appear as a link and where? If i can specify it, where do i specify it ?
What Responsibility do i need to assign to the user to be able to view the output?
I am reading the Oracle Report Managers User Guide, its just that i'm not being able to map the theory and practical that accurately (lack of screenshots in the docs). So, a few practical operational tips will surely help me a lot in this regard.
In the documentation its said that "The system administrator assigns Report Manager menu items to various responsibilities. Following are the available menu items:
• Financial Report Submission... etc "
But i could not assign the Financial Report Submission responsibility to my Test user in Sysadmin login. The said Report Manager responsibilities were not available in the LOV.
Thanks.
