To archive a report in Oracle Reports 10g, it can be saved into source control using the Check In and Check Out capabilities of Oracle Software Configuration Manager (SCM).
SCM is a single central location where all application components, including business logic, can be stored. This provides complete control over your application development environment. SCM includes features such as source/version control, impact analysis, and check in and check out of all the related application components. Oracle Reports is integrated with SCM, which enables you to easily control your reports in a seamless integrated environment.
When you perform a full Developer Suite (DS) installation, SCM is installed
and registry variables are set by the installation. However, if you performed
a partial DS installation (for example, Business Intelligence only) you may
not have SCM installed. If Reports Builder's FileAdministration
menu is not enabled, this indicates that SCM is not installed. You can download
and install SCM from the Oracle Technology Network (
http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html
).
Then, to enable the use of SCM with Oracle Reports, perform this step to set
registry variables:
This menu item runs a file named drsc61.reg
, which updates
the registry variables required by Oracle Reports as follows:
FORMS_SCCONVERT
set to FALSE
FORMS_SCDRIVER
set to d2scrw32.dll
FORMS_SCVIEWER
set to NOTEPAD.EXE
FORMS_SOURCECONTROL
set to CUSTOM
For more information about using the SCM functionality in Reports Builder (FileAdministration
menu), refer to the SCM documentation:
