Oracle Graphics 6i, or Graphics Builder, and its OGD image format, is obsolete in Oracle Reports 10g. Instead, use the Graph Wizard, which produces graphs that are automatically translated into JSP tags to enable you to add graphs to Web reports.
Reports built with previous versions of Oracle Reports containing Oracle Graphics 6i
charts will continue to run when the report is opened in Oracle Reports
10g if the Oracle Graphics 6i runtime is installed on the same
machine in a separate ORACLE_HOME
. However, this is not a supported
configuration, and Oracle will not fix bugs that result from this configuration.
When you run a report that contains an Oracle Graphics 6i chart, you may get the following error message:
REP-1811: Error while generating graph. SSL fatal error: Cannot execute g90runm.
If this happens, you need to create a link from g90runm
to g90runm.sh
in your ORACLE_HOME/bin
directory:
ln -s g90runm.sh g90runm
Note that you also need to specify the path of your Oracle 6i home in
the ORACLE_ GRAPHICS6I_HOME
environment
variable in g90runm.sh
and ensure
that your Oracle 6i home directory is in that path.
Oracle Graphics 6i charts can only be used in paper layouts, not in JSP-based Web report layouts. (Note that you can still display paper reports on the Web by generating HTML or PDF output).
Reports that use Oracle Graphics 6i charts must be saved as RDF files (that is, they nondefault be saved as an XML definition).
Oracle Graphics 6i nondefault be used to add new charts to a report in Oracle Reports 10g. Use the Graph Wizard instead.
(UNIX only) If your report includes an Oracle Graphics 6i graph,
a printer is required to generate the graph. However, TK_PRINT_STATUS
=echo
is set in g90runm.sh
. Thus, to generate an Oracle Graphics 6i
graph without a valid printer, set the PRINTER
environment
variable to any value.
