Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Using DBMS_SYSTEM calls to access Reports
Hi,
I am currently involved in a project which required that a stored procedure call a report (Rep 2.5). The contractors developing this for me have decided that they can use a dbms_system call to access the report.
Does anyone out there know how this can be achieved.
Is it possible to use and external procedure to access this report. I am trying to avoid passing the username and password over the network.
We are currently using Oracle 8.0.4.0.0 but will be upgrading to
8.0.5.1.0 very shortly. Another problem we face is that out production
environment already has a reports 3 installation, which prevents us from
installing reports 2.5.
I would be greatful for any suggestions and or links to information on
this subject.
