Note

Kyvos Reporting can use only one type of Oracle driver, so cannot make connections to various server versions, if it needs different drivers.

Note

Warning

...

  • If due to Oracle client version or due to administrator decision, classes12.zip is used for connections then there might be some problems in activities like publishing or emailing a report having large number of parameters.

...

  • When ojdbc14.jar is forcefully used on machines with Oracle 8 or 9 client installs, then, OCI_TNS type of connections cannot be created.
