Hi,

We ran into this with numerous clients. It is a confirmed bug (#334346) and the following is the workaround (paraphrased from an Oracle Support bulletin)

Workaround:

a) Invoke Reports Designer and connect to your normal database
b) Choose from the menu Open -> File
c) Open the report, e.g. ckentdef.rdf from the filesystem at

   D:\orawin\repadm10\srw\..rdf
   to get the name <report_name.rdf>

     Go under Repository Reports, View -> View by Report Name
      take name (5 to 8 characters)
d) In the Reports Designer Navigator, expand the Data Model->System Parameters

e) Double-click on the 'XY' besides 'ORIENTATION' f) Add the following line to the program unit immediately after the 'begin'

    :ORIENTATION := 'PORTRAIT';

g) Click on the 'Compile' button
h) Save the report to the filesystem
i) Re-run the report though the Repository Reports Interface

Hope this helps...
