Reuse existing CAST delivery output
Reuse existing CAST delivery output
This option enables you to package output from the standalone CAST Oracle Forms Extractor. This option requires you to input the location of a .uaxdirectory file that was created by the standalone CAST Oracle Forms Extractor:
Note that the Oracle Reports files (.rex) should be placed in the same folder as the output from the standalone CAST Oracle Forms Extractor and delivered together. The CAST Delivery Manager Tool is capable of distinguishing them.
Note about Oracle Reports
- When you need to deliver Oracle Reports, the CAST Delivery Manager Tool can only handle .rex files. If you have Oracle Reports .rdf files and would like to include them in the delivery, you can convert them to .rex files as follows:
- Using Oracle Reports Builder
- Using the Oracle command line utility rwconverter.exe (for Windows) or rwconverter.sh (for Linux) - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16764_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_cla002.htm
Example script for rwconverter.exe:
