As far as I can tell, this error has nothing to do with a view creation.

It isn't about Oracle privileges, but operating system level privileges. Is you OS user allowed to write into this directory?

If you are an administrator, I guess that operating system privileges are out of question.
As of correct path: are you are sure that directory which contains your reports is contained in the REPORTS_PATH? Another idea: does this path contain "space" (for
example, "c:\my reports"); if so, try to rename directory so that it doesn't contain space characters ("c:\my_reports").

REPORTS_PATH shows the way to your reports; as you use Developer Suite 6i, I believe that its name is, actually, REPORTS60_PATH. Its value can be set as
environment variable or as a string value in Windows registry.

Hi,
Probably there should be one .rep file saved in the Bin folder with same name the one which you are trying to run. If it is present then delete it from Bin folder then rerun.

Dear All
I am also facing the same error and its assumed that it would be either due to availability of .rep file into BIN Directory or due to insufficient rights on the directory/drive
where reports are placed.

Hello Sir,
I have installed oracle 10g database in windows 7 64 bit os and developer suite in virtual machine windows 7 32 bit os.
All fmb files , functions, packages, proceedures have been compiled and the forms are working fine.
the same report works fine when run through report builder.
is the problem because the application in virtual machine is not connecting the database.
the backup dump file is taken from linux server where everything is working fine. is there any problem in this.
In one of the forum i found this reply for the mentioned problem
"Please make sure that you got the file transferred to your machine in Binary mode and not in ASCII."

I am not sure how to do this.
If you use FTP, you specify "binary" mode simply by typing "binary" at its prompt before actually transferring files:
Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]
ftp> binary
If it is a GUI you use, no problem either - somewhere in its options there must be the binary/ASCII choice.

sir,
i take backup of the source files of forms and reports from linux server and copy it to client system using winscp.
This source file i have copied to my laptop while installing oracle .I am not sure if this source files need to be in binary / ASCII mode.
i am also not sure if the error message is due to binary / ASCII also. Problem might be due to some other thing also. Since i happened to see this suggestion i had mentioned
it.

the source files need to be ftp'd in binary. So make sure you've done that.

Do you use REPORTS_PATH environment variable? If so, what is its length? Is it more than 1024 characters?

Does directory name (actually, path) contain any spaces? Such as "C:\My reports"? If so, try to rename it so that it contains no spaces (such as "C:\My_reports").

sir,
let me tell you how i did the configuration. i am not sure if its right. after installation of developersuite i did the configuration in formsweb.cfg, default.env,forms.conf and
registry.dat.
In default.env i only gave the forms_path. is it necessary to give path for reports also. i was told that it is not needed to do since the link of the source files which has both
forms and reports has been given in forms_path.
my forms and reports are in this path c:\source\Common;c:\source\Pension;c:\source\Templates;. this has been defined in regedit >Forms_path and in
default.env>Forms_path.

Hi All,
I had that same problem, then i attached my report to the forms directly from the server, like
(While browsing for report from forms i would select report from the network. I have my server mapped to my network as (Y:\). Then when i select the report filename
property of the report will show like Y:\report.rdf , But choosing the file from network, my filename will be something like \\192.168.1.111\fal_forms\report.rdf. This address
will appear in the filename property of the attached report.)

hi sandeep,
I have installed oracle in my laptop and the database and developersuite are in the same laptop. i have not connected it to any server.
i have one doubt. my database is 64 bit and developersuite is in 32 bit. Also some of the reports are working and some are not working.

The issue is with the path not defined in the conf file
1. Open your application home, i.e /u02/OraHome_2/reports/conf
2. Open your report conf file that has your instance name for modification, i.e. vi rep_ebfinreports_oracleas2.conf
3. There is an entry that you will to add defined in the file but you will find it hashed as
<!--property name="sourceDir" value="your reports source directory"/-->
4. insert a new line and make an entry for the reports source path as shown below in my example as I have defined mine
<property name="sourceDir" value="/u02/reports/rep"/>
value /u02/reports/rep is my report path in this case
5. Save the changes and retry running the report, hope it works like mine did

Hi minjire
Sorry for the late reply and opening a old thread. I was not able to work on this issue for some reason. As suggested by you i had a look at the .conf file in my laptop. What
you have suggested is for Linux version. In windows my reports conf file was in this path (E:\DevSuiteHome_1\reports\conf) as rep_comp.conf.
figured out <!--property name="sourceDir" value="your reports source directory"/--> as you had mentioned .
<property name="sourceDir" value=" what should the value be here"/>. I did not get this point. My rdf files are in this path "D:\source\Pension". I tried giving this path but yet
it did not work.
