Best alternative for several REPORTS_PATHs in same Forms Domain

Carlos CortezJun 6 2025

Hi,

Hope you are doing all fine!

I have to install a Forms/Reports Domain 14c on Oracle Linux. The domain will have 3 different applications, each application must have its own FORMS_PATH and REPORTS_PATH, because some objects has the same name but at runtime they behave differently.

For the case of FORMS I was thinking to separate each application by using configurations that you define inside formsweb.cfg and then for each configuration create an environment (.env) file where I can set for each application its own FORMS_PATH, TNS_NAMES etc.

My doubt is what would be the best approach for Reports to isolate report's objects for each application?

I don't want to use standalone report server because other environments are using the in-process report server, this is the only environment where I will have this kind of setup. I was thinking to create more than one Reports Managed Server (in-process report server).
