From Forms Product Management - New Reports Integration White Paper
I've posted a new white paper on OTN which explains how to call Reports with a parameter from Forms Services using the Forms RUN_REPORT_OBJECT Built-in.
We have also included a sample Java Bean which allows the userid parameter to be stored in a cookie.
To download the paper, go to http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms , its the top news item.

Brian,
there are four possible reasons why this could happen
1. you didn't specify the correct domain. A wrong domain makes the cookie not accessible for the Reports Server
2. The Reports Server is in another timezone than the Forms Client. This way the default validity of teh cookie is exceeded to the time you request the cookie. If this is the case, add the offset to the max age value
3. You change dthe encryption key either on the Reports Server or the cookie client.Default value is reports9i for Oracle9i Reports.
4. - unlikely - you try to run this solution iwth Forms and Reports 6i. This doesn't work.

From Forms Product Management - New Forms/Reports install option
Oracle Product Management are pleased to announce the release of Forms/Reports Services only download and install option of Oracle Application Server 10g.
This provides an option to the EE to install those components related only to running Forms and Reports.
To download please go to http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/ and please feel free to post any comments.

Forms Product ManagementI did create a posting on OTN almost a year ago asking if/when 9iAS light version (forms/reports/graphs only) will be available at a reduced cost.
Oracle now announced (and also proved my claims that it was not a technical but marketing decision not to make forms/reports part of iAS a separate product) the separate download/install option for forms/reports services.
My original posting attracked more than 100 folks (including Shay, Frank and Grant) but was not fruitful to convince Oracle to make forms/reports services a separate product targeted for the small companies, who might not need/use the rest of the 9iAS framework. I believe, seeing one side of the coin and enforcing your opinion by ignoring the cry of many others (including many ODTUG members) is not a wise solution for your existing small business and niche market (using Oracle db and tools for very specific purposes such as simulations, etc on intranets - and operating under strict security protocols not to open up to internet) customers.
Grant and Shay repeatedly wrote on this forum and presented via whitepapers, etc. that forms/reports services are not fading away and it is a complementary solution to JDeveloper and emphasized that JDeveloper is not the replacement of forms/reports services. This news was very good for existing forms/reports developers.
Given that forms/reports services is now separately available, why not making Forms/Reports Designer and Forms/Reports services (only) part of iAS a separate product? as Oracle did the very same with JDeveloper?

of Oracle Forms then please go to:

Forms Product ManagementOracle Forms is quit impressive as both a client/server and web-based solution. I have yet to see an application run over the web the way Oracle Forms does. It appears as a client/server application, except it's completely web-based.
That's quite amazing, however, I have found that the rich interface and the sophistication of running Forms over the web comes with a big cost. The 8MB Jinitiator download turns a lot of people off.
What I'm really wondering is if there is anyone out there who is using Oracle Forms as a web solution ?
Thanks for your time.
