No Reports Icons after Installation and Configuration 12.2.1.4 on Windows
Hi!
I have a fresh install of Forms & Reports. I have configured my domain and called createReportsToolsInstance.
But there are no icons for any Reports tool like builder, converter or for starting/stopping WLS_REPORTS.
Any idea?
Best regards
Torsten

Torsten,
Create an Icon with this call:
C:\oracle\forms12214\user_projects\domains\FrmRep12214\reports\bin\rwbuilder.bat
Directory
C:\oracle\forms12214\user_projects\domains\FrmRep12214\reports\bin
Icon
%SystemDrive%\oracle\forms12214\bin\rwbuilder.exe
This worked for me in my Development Environment... my rewbuilder.bat has this batch-code:
setlocal
set DOMAIN_HOME=C:\oracle\forms12214\user_projects\domains\FrmRep12214
call %DOMAIN_HOME%\reports\bin\reports.bat
set COMPONENT_NAME=rep_tools1
set COMPONENT_CONFIG_PATH=%DOMAIN_HOME%\config\fmwconfig\components\ReportsToolsComponent\%COMPONENT_NAME%
set REPORTS_INSTANCE=%COMPONENT_CONFIG_PATH%
set CA_GPREFS=%COMPONENT_CONFIG_PATH%\tools\admin
set CA_UPREFS=%COMPONENT_CONFIG_PATH%\tools\admin
c:
cd C:\oracle\forms12214\bin
@echo on
start %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\rwbuilder.exe %*
@echo off
endlocal
@echo on

So is it normal, that no icons are created?
The batch files does not work here too. I have for both SR's open since one week.

Torsten,
You can do one simple mistake (forget C++ runtimes, do not start installation with admin cmd) and you will fail. We always install a version by a plan with screenshots and a clear row of tasks and 80 pages step by step action. And then everything works.
With 12.2.1.4 you get Forms Builder Icons but I think no Reports Icons. But the installation process brings all necessary files and configurations. You can create an Icon on the desktop with my example.
I guess you did a simple mistake during the installation process which is now hard to find. I would do the installation process again with a good installation guide. You can get it from me if you want or help from my employee, who does the installations for many customers. On a windows server(2016/2019) it takes for us about 3-4 hours for a complete Forms/Reports development instance.
I think Jan-Peter Timmermann is faster because he has made automation scripts for this.
He has a session exactly for this topic on the Formsday on 20th of September at the DOAG.

Frank,
I already have an almost complete Powershell-scripted Installation on Windows, which runs under admin account in under 2 hours. C++ runtimes are installed by default on our systems. Reports icons and Reports development tools are the last big issue in the Installation.
Sure I can create Icons per Powershell too, but in my Opinion this should be installed by Oracle installers? At least I want to be sure, if this Icons will really not be created by Oracle or if there is a installation or configuration step is missing. The other issue is, despite I have created some of the Icons manually, the tools does not open after splashscreen, depending on tool with or without error messages.
I already found one of your installation guide for 12.2.1.3 on the web. A lot of your points does not apply to us, instead we have a lot of other configuration steps for our specific application. Eg. we have to use Windows 10 Enterprise. For regulatory reasons the tools have to start after installation as standard user instead of admin user.
Have sent today the RDA output to oracle for my two SR's according to this issues.
Kind regards
Torsten

Not to split hairs, but to be clear you are not talking about “icons”. You are referring to shortcuts. By default, Reports installations no longer create them.
