deploying a Birt report to a remote server

I developed a report with Oracle 10g as the database. The report has one function in it.

I zipped the report and sent it to the dba to load into the LMS Plateau (Learning Management System). It uploaded ok but would not run. What kinda of things need to be done on the remote sever i.e. permission in Oracle, do I need to compile my Oracle function on the remote server or does the report build take care of that? Has anyone done anything similar to this and can give me some idea of what I need to do with regards to taking a report off my test development (where its running) to have it run on the remote server. Do I need to do anything with the report config file? Thanks

1: Make sure the Oracle JDBC driver is loaded on the target platform
2: Make sure the target platform is capable of running BIRT reports. Not familiar with Plateau as an LMS, last time I messed with LMS systems it was Training Server and SumTotal

That should do it, the JDBC URL's should translate. Also, if the LMS has BIRT integrated, the Oracle JDBC driver needs to go into the BIRT Plugins folder jdbc drivers folder.
