application server, developer server ???

I am using oracle8.1.6 on NTserver.

what are the steps required to be able to see my
Reports,Forms (Developer6) through the browsers????

Please explain in detail.

Thanks,

U need to install reports and forms server (6i)

U need to configure a web listener (the webdb one is ok, if not u can even user apache lsitener)

Manuals on technet are pretty good

I am using developer6 to create my forms and reports
is developer6 server = to "U need to install reports and forms server (6i) " ????.

could you please give me more detail !!!

thanks alot

Forms & Report Server as the name suggest are servers, one serves forms and the other reports. What this means is that instead of using traditional client/server architecture with the use of these two servers you can deploy multi-tier architecture Forms & Reports, what this achieves is light clients on PCs, you simply need IE or netscape as clients and instead of having Forms & Report runtime the forms & reports server will send some Java applet to your light client. Now this part I am not sure but I think all runtime processes are run now in the Forms & Reports server instead of client servers.
I believe you need Developer 6i to use this.

if that is the case then why do I need Oracle Application Server?????

U don't really need it...it would just be listening for web requests. This is possible too with the webdb listener.

I don't have webdb installed.
can I just install the listener (OAS or webdb) instead of
installing the whole thing ??if so then how??

and does oracle8i, developer6i server,and the listener has
to be in the same home????

thanks,

Right now, Oracle manages 2 prods.
Oracle8i and Oracle9i Application Server.
O9iAS was Oracle internet Application Server, what was Oracle Application Server....what'a mess!!
Anyway.
If you, right now, buy Oracle9i Application Server Enterprise Edition, you will have
-Apache HTTP Server
-Forms Server
-Reports Server
-Discoverer Plus
-PERL, CGI, JSP, PSP, etc.

Download it and install it in a different Oracle Home.

Thanks,

* So, there is two ways of doing this.
1. oracle8.1.6 and Oracle9iAS Enterprise to be able
to see my Forms and reports via the WEB!!!!
NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. oracle8.1.6, developer6i server, and a listener

everything besides Oracle8.1.6 should be installed
together on a different home

is that true????

THANKS A MILLION,

Oracle will not sell you Developer Server anymore.
If you want it, you are "forced" to buy Oracle9i AS EE.
