Oracle 9iAS R2 is massive, overly complex, a royal pain to install & configure and riddled with BUGS.
For example, on Solaris the Reports Server will NOT print a report directly to a printer after a new installation. I have an open bug with Oracle where I created a simple script which conatined 8 lines. The 1st 7 lines I started the "rwclient" utility in background. The 8th command line also invoked "rwclient" in the foreground. All commands were generating the same report with the results going to 8 different files. The Reports Server only ALWAYS creates only ONE file & there is/was NO way to predict exactly which filename it would be. My advice is that if you have a choice; stay far, far away from 9iAS R2.

What is the system you installed 9iAS on and what are the minimum system requirements you were able to get it working with? I am thinking of trying to load it on Linux RedHat 7.2 with 512 Meg ram but if I remember correctly the minimum requirements were for more ram and I don't have an extra chip right now. Maybe after we migrate from out Dell 6300 server with 1 GIG ram I can install Linux and 9iAS as a play station. From what I remember from the dog and pony shows, you can make it look like any other web site. It's all in how creative you choose to be. Ron >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/20/02 08:54AM >>> I was wondering if there are any resources on the 'net to help people customize Oracle Portal. I went to the OTN portal center and http://portal.oracle.com <http://portal.oracle.com> etc., but not sure where to look. Is it possible to configure Oracle Portal in such a way that it is hard to tell that it is in fact Oracle Portal? I am wondering how much of its look and feel is set in stone, and how much customization is possible. This is not critical, I am just experimenting.
