Successful businesses know that presenting their data in a timely and meaningful way provides a powerful advantage over the competition. To that end, businesses continue to need ever more powerful tools for producing high quality reports from the mass of disparate data sources kept in every major corporation today. Oracle Reports has maintained its position as a premier enterprise reporting tool by keeping pace with rapid shifts in technology. As rapidly as technology has shifted,Oracle Reports has moved from character-based, to graphical-based, to client/server,and now to multi-tier Web-based development and deployment.Oracle6i Reports was the last version of Oracle Reports to support both a character-mode and a client/server GUI reports viewer.
With Oracle9i Reports, users moved to a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Web-based multi-tier environment. Oracle Reports10g (9.0.4) and Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) have improved the performance and scalability of Reports in the Web-based environment, and have also provided a host of new features.It is recommended that Oracle6i Reports customers migrate to Oracle Reports 10gRelease 2 (10.1.2) as soon as possible, and that Oracle9i Reports customers start planning their migration to Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). Refer to Metalink for the latest information on the desupport dates for Oracle6i Reports and Oracle9iReports. The objective of this white paper is to provide one-stop information about the availability of features from earlier releases (6i, 9i, and 10g (9.0.4)) in Oracle Reports 10gRelease 2 (10.1.2).
