Reports 6i server on same computer as 9iAS

239338Jun 10 2003 — edited Jun 17 2003

We have a configuration where we use the 9iAS J2EE Application server (9.0.3 not standard, not enterprise and not standalone OC4J). This works well for our J2EE app. I now want to add some Oracle 6i reports as links on JSP's. In our environment it seems it would be best to serve these reports from the same computer that 9iAS is running on. The server is WINDOWS 2000.

Before I break something I need to know what conflicts I will need to resolve between these two products. Example: I know from experience that a 9i database and 6i Reports Server will not run on the same box without turning off the HTTP Server in 9i as it conflicts with the WebDB in 6i reports (the both use the system environment variable wv_gateway_cfg).

Will/should I install the 6i Reports Server on a port other than the port used for 9iAS? What happens if I select "use another listener" in the installation?

Any installation tips you can provide would be helpful.

TIA,
Ed.

P.S. I know that 9iDS and 9iAS would be the best solution but we cannot afford the additional cost of $25K.
