Ho hum, here I go again. Now at our esteemed University we are looking to have Windows Vista as our desktop environment. Oracle have kindly released a database version that works ok on Vista but I've not found an updated version of the Developer suite. This to me is a bit unusual as surely it will be the Developer suite that would be used more on the desktop systems than would be the database itself. I've tried installing the latest developer suite but I get an error telling me that the O/S version is 6 and developer needs 5xx etc. I tried using the compatibility mode in Vista but that doesn't work either. I've posted a request on the Oracle forums and although its been viewed several times no one has answered. Am I missing something? Can anyone help?

OK, I've got it all working including running the forms in IE7.
I set the machines pagefile to manual setting and put something similar to what the system recommended.
I ran the Developer suite setup.exe file in compatibility mode and checked the run as administrator option. onnce installed I ran a test form and then found that Firefox would run the form I created but IE wouldn't. I installed the latest Java (1.6) from the Sun site and then copied/pasted the jvm.dll file from the new install to Program Files\Oracle\Jinitiator 1.3.1.22\bin\hotspot after renaming the original jvm.dll file so's I didn't lose it. Anyway, everything seems to work now and I'm posting this message to give my findings to others in a similar position.Hope it helps, ta,
Phil.

If I'm correct is the Oracle Jinitiator software not compatible with Windows Vista. You can change your iAS/iDS (formsweb.cfg) so it makes use of the SUN Java plugin (jpi). So the java plugin will be downloaded to your file system in stead of the oracle jinitiator.

Thanks Phil. I just followed everything you said here and I was able to install Dev10g on Vista. I was able to run a Form in Firefox. However, with Reports, I encountered a problem. I was able to run a Report on "paper layout" but not on "web layout". The error mesg was "ERROR: Failed to locate the browser. Try connecting again...", even if a new window of Firefox was opened by the Report. Do you have an idea why this error occurred?

Not yet.

Actually, I'm kinda new at this. I've used DevSuite 6i before in a client/server setting. This is my first time to try DevSuite 10g. Where do I find the report server definition? Is it a flat file which can be modified manually?
>Is firefox your default browser?
Yes.

Hi David,
I followed the links you suggested, and got some bits and pieces of info as you have mentioned.
I also followed your suggestion there to use
So, now I have a Form with a button that calls a Report. When that button is pressed, a new browser window is opened, and an error message appears on the page:
REP-52005: The specified key scott/tiger@devt does not exist in key map file.
Any suggestions on how solve this?
Thanks in advance!

I assume that you have access to scott/tiger in the 'devt' database and that you have proved this by using SQL*Plus and also Oracle Forms. Please confirm.

Yes, I have access to scott/tiger@devt.
I continued to read further on orafaq and found out that I can conceal the connection string from the URL by using the key map file (cgicmd.dat)
And so, I modified the key map file, I added this line:
I modified my code to include the myconn key. My code for calling the report is now this:
PROCEDURE test_report IS
v_repid report_object;
v_rep VARCHAR2 (100);
v_show_document VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';
v_connect VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
v_connect := 'myconn';
IF GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY (user_interface) = 'WEB'
THEN
v_show_document := v_show_document
|| 'report=emp'
|| '&userid='
|| v_connect
|| '&destype=CACHE'
|| '&desformat=PDF';
web.show_document (v_show_document);
ELSE
v_repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('emp');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (v_repid);
web.show_document
( 'http://address:port/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'
|| SUBSTR (v_rep, INSTR (v_rep, '_', -1) + 1)
|| '?'
|| 'server=mylocalrepsrvr',
'_blank'
);
END IF;
END;
The above code is called from a button in the Form that I created. When I click that button, another tab opens up in Firefox.
The tab's name is OracleAS Reports Services - Servlet, and this error is displayed on that page:
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server mylocalrepsrvr failed
The URL displayed on that page is:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=emp&userid=myconn&destype=CACHE&desformat=PDF
mylocalrepsrvr is supposed to be my report server. I am running the AS, the database, Form Builder and Report Builder on one machine. From this setup, how do I know that the report server is up and running? Is the report server down that is why I get the REP-51002 error?
Any suggestions/comments?
Thanks again!
