Oracle Reports v. 13b – opportunities and challenges

Official Oracle suspension for Oracle Reports prompted consideration for switching to the new reporting tool. Official successor is Oracle BI Publisher, but also Jasper Report can serve as a good alternative.

The pragmatic installation of library for reporting on an application server can help avoid the hassle of calling a web service and administering reporting server accounts. CTSO (Croatian Transmission System Operator) will present its best practices to establish a reporting system.
