- Using DMT, package the Oracle Report with option “Forms/Report on file system”
Since the source have already the .rex files for the reports and is identified by DMT, the Workaround is to
- Use "Reuse existing CAST delivery output" instead of "Forms/Report on file system" in DMT.
No impact of the workaround
