Oracle 9iAS R2 is massive, overly complex, a royal pain to install & configure and riddled with BUGS.
For example, on Solaris the Reports Server will NOT print a report directly to a printer after a new installation.
I have an open bug with Oracle where I created a simple script which
conatined 8 lines.
The 1st 7 lines I started the "rwclient" utility in background.
The 8th command line also invoked "rwclient" in the foreground.
All commands were generating the same report with the results going to 8
different files.
The Reports Server only ALWAYS creates only ONE file & there is/was NO way to predict exactly which filename it would be.
My advice is that if you have a choice; stay far, far away from 9iAS R2.

Patrice,
Happy Holidays.
What is the system you installed 9iAS on and what are the minimum
system requirements you were able to get it working with? I am thinking
of trying to load it on Linux RedHat 7.2 with 512 Meg ram but if I
remember correctly the minimum requirements were for more ram and I
don't have an extra chip right now. Maybe after we migrate from out Dell
6300 server with 1 GIG ram I can install Linux and 9iAS as a play
station.
From what I remember from the dog and pony shows, you can make it look
like any other web site. It's all in how creative you choose to be.

I was wondering if there are any resources on the 'net to help people
customize Oracle Portal.
I went to the OTN portal center and http://portal.oracle.com <http://portal.oracle.com> etc., but not sure where to look.
Is it possible to configure Oracle Portal in such a way that it is hard
to
tell that it is in fact Oracle Portal? I am wondering how much of its
look
and feel is set in stone, and how much customization is possible.
This is not critical, I am just experimenting.
