About Integration with Oracle Reports

You can embed new and existing Reports applications in forms that have been upgraded to Oracle Forms 12c.

You can no longer use the Reports client run-time engine to output Reports in the Web. From Forms 5.0 forward, the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built-in is available in Forms Developer to run integrated reporting in Forms. Using RUN_PRODUCT in Oracle Forms to run integrated Oracle Reports is no longer supported in this release. Beginning with 12c, the use of this built-in results in a compilation error.

Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports versions 9.0.2 and higher are now Web-based only, and do not have client/server run-time engines. Therefore, integrated reports in Oracle Forms applications must be recoded to use the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT Built-in and Reports.
