How to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in Forms 12c to generate and save a Reports 10g report without displaying it?

Hello partners,

I am currently facing the following situation:

I recently migrated from Oracle Forms 10g to Oracle Forms 12c. However, I encountered issues with the certification of Reports 12c, so I am currently using Oracle Forms 12c to call Oracle Reports running on a separate machine with Oracle Forms/Reports 10g.

I am calling the reports using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(...). This works correctly when the report is displayed in the browser, but there is an intermediate process that saves the generated reports directly into a folder on the Reports 10g server.

Due to this requirement, WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(...) is not suitable, since I need the report to be generated and saved directly on the server without being displayed to the user.

I have read that I should use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, but I am not sure about the required configuration for it to work in this mixed environment (Forms 12c calling Reports 10g).

Has anyone implemented a similar setup or can provide guidance on the correct configuration?

Thank you in advance.Hello partners,
