4 Oracle Reports

Although Oracle Reports has been installed in the Middleware home, it has not been configured in the WLS domain, nor have the required Tools and Reports Server components been created.

For more information about setting up Oracle Reports, see Installing and Configuring Oracle Forms and Reports.

Oracle Reports has not been Certification tested in Oracle Cloud and therefore Oracle cannot guarantee it will work properly in this environment. If you plan to use Oracle Reports despite its certification status, be sure to thoroughly test before using it in a critical deployment.

It is important to note that because multi-cast communication is not permitted in Cloud, the Reports Naming Service is required. As a result, this also means that Reports HA configurations are not possible, since they require multi-cast support. For more information about the Naming Service and how to configure it, refer to How to Enable Namingservice Discovery Mechanism for all Reports Server in Reports 12c (Doc ID 2205595.1) on My Oracle Support.

Support for using Oracle Reports in this environment may be limited. In fact, Oracle recommends that Oracle Reports users migrate to Oracle BI-Publisher or Analytics Publisher (also available in Analytics Cloud Service) for their reporting needs, as no new certifications or features are planned for Oracle Reports.

Because Oracle Reports has been deprecated, refer to the 12.2.1.3 Documentation Library for setup and usage information.
