Last time I used forms/reports it was a full blown client install. I ran the application server install on friday but saw no way to connect a browers. Apparently its still a 'thick' client. I am downloading 1 GB of Developer Suite in the hopes that it will connect to my report service on the application server. I dont see much low level docs on how to set this up.
This does not look good. The cluster on the app server shows a forms container but this is all I see for reports
Reports Server: rep_codc192 [The status of component "Reports Server: rep_codc192" is up.] N/A N/A N/A
Under ports I see 2 that 'might' be for Reports
Reports Services Visigenics CORBA - Reports 14000 14000-14010
Reports Services SQL*Net for 6i Client 1950 1950-1960
I have no idea if any of this is good or bad.
I opened up a TAR, what would be great is an end-to-end install guide.
Confirmation on the 2 tiers to be installed...
How is Reports installed?
There are two pieces to Oracle9i Reports - development and deployment. The development environment is installed as part of Oracle9i Developer Suite under the 'Business Intelligence (BI)', 'Rapid Application Development (RAD)', or 'Complete' installation options. Deployment is via Oracle9i Application Server Enterprise Edition (EE) under the 'Business Intelligence' or 'Complete' options.
