Using Developer 6.0 on Win NT (SP 5) with Developer Patch 5A.
Several questions:
- I have forms that were developed under Forms 4.5. We assigned specific colors to the push buttons. However, when we port these applications to Developer 6 on the NT, no colors .... Has anybody experienced this ? and what was your solution ?
- We are currently trying to deploy forms/reports to the web. We are using OAS 4.0.8, Developer 6 and Jinitiator on client machine. Every thing with the forms appears to be working fine. Is it possible to run the reports on the Web using the run_product call from forms ? Or do we have to start up the Reports Server and link to the reports ? From reading the documentation, it looks like my first option is viable. Can anyone help ?
Also, are there any files that need to be modified for the Reports to
recognize the printer ? I know that on the SGI, you have to modify the
file uiprint.txt in $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon2/tk23/admin to tell it what
printers are available.
It seems that if I run the report through report runtime, it recognizes
the printer. However, when calling the report from the form under
client/server mode, it puts the file to the system. In Developer/2000
(on SGI or VMS), I get a prompt asking me to print the file or to save
the file to the filesystem.
Was this feature removed from Developer 6 ?
Anyhow, calls to our reports (using Run_Product) yields the following
messages:
Rep-0826: Invalid printer driver 'dflt' specified by parameter
DESFORMAT
(in report, DESFORMAT is defined as dflt)
Rep-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is
installed.
(after I deleted value for DESFORMAT to blank, I ran again and got
above error)
TIA,
Scott
