Oracle Forms and OAP - virtual mapping

Hello everybody

We are using Oracle Forms [64 Bit] Version 12.2.1.4.0 (Production) and Oracle Analytics publisher both installed on Windows servers

The problem to call OAP report because we don't know how to set up the virtual mapping

We added virtual mapping to httpd.conf on Forms Server.

E:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\ren_dev2\servers\domain_bak\config_prev\fmwconfig\components\OHS\ohs1

Alias /bipdev/ "E:/bipapps/reports/"

<Directory "E:/bipapps/reports">

Options Indexes MultiViews

AllowOverride None

Require all granted

</Directory>

The folder is share so "Everyone" has an access to it.

The question is how to have OAP server to have an access to this folder?

I know on Linux it can be done using NFS and I have some examples

How it works on Windows? I was thinking about creating a Network share something like \\server\directory. But I am not sure you can use network share in httpd.conf

As explained in in "How to Call a BI Publisher Report from Forms 12c Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (Doc ID 2235962.1)"

In forms we need to inform BI where to place the pdf file on the BI Server machin

Local_file:= <???>

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, LOCAL_FILE_NAME,local_file);

And use

URL := <???>

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(url);

URL is based on FORMS_BI_SERVER value and references a virtual directory on the BI Server machine

If anyone can provide the example of virtual mapping on Windows ( or refer the document) it will be appreciated.

Thanks
