Where I work Forms & Reports are developed using the 6i PC based tools. On the Solaris boxes I have both 9iAS R1 & R2 installed. I use the exact same "source" files which were created on the PCs to generate new runtime files for both R1 & R2. So we end up with three different folders/directories with version specific runtime files in them.
Just be warned that you'll run into filename case sensitity issues; because WINDOZE is case insensitive & Unix is case sensitive. These issues can be overcome by judicious use of softlinks on Solaris. Received on Fri Nov 14 2003 - 02:49:54 CET
