Migrating to Oracle Reports 6i from Oracle Report 9i

27774Feb 19 2003 — edited Feb 20 2003
Hi all,

We re-compiled original Forms & Reports 6i source code with Oracle 9i Forms & Reports.
Forms are working really nice with almost no change at all with Oracle 9ias Forms services and Oracle 8i as db. The Oracle 9ias server is W2k. Will be upgrading to oracle 9i db in a short time.

The only change we applied to forms source code was the function to call reports. We are using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() instead of RUN_PRODUCT.

i.e. the URl is formed in all reports as
http://ip_address:port/reports/rwservlet?DESTYPE=cache&DESFORMAT=PDF&userid=user/passwd@dbname&report=f:\web\formas\ametas\REP_DET_METAS_DPTO.REP&estrategia_par='08'&centro_par=249&depto_par=27100&anio_par=2003&TRIMESTRE_PAR=1

At the beginning we used directly the 6i reports but they were running inconsistently, after several calls to reports they got stock and we did need to reboot report services.

Then as a suggestion we re-build only two reports in reports 9i for testing. But same result when running in combination with 6i reports. Combination means, sometimes called 6i reports someothers reports in 9i.
The reports run fine several times but inconsistently. What I mean is that they can be running normaly many times and suddenly the reports server sends this message
REP-50002:Server is shutting down

DBA reported this issue to our local support but they said configuration is ok.

In other tests and only running 9i reports it seems not getting stock never, at least we run two 9i reports more than 40 times. So the problem seems to be when we run 9i reports in combination with 6i reports. We are planning to migrate all our reports but this mean to rebuild all reports again.

Is someone facing this kind of problem?

Or is this the only solution? Losting men/machine hours rebuilding the reports.

Any suggestion for my DBA to check in configuration?
