REP-108: File error - 6i Report

I am using Oracle reports 6i on Oracle10g database and getting error

“REP-108: File 'V:\ora10gias\reports\webreports\cw_report_logo_700pixel_wide.jpg' not found.

When running report on application server. Image is placed in the same directory where my rdf file is located.

Can someone please suggest some idea that I can use to get application server recognize image when running report from my web-site.

Thanks.

The two options that I am aware of for locating files for Forms6i and Reports 6i are either:
1. put them all in the same directory and make sure that it is the working (or "start in") directory for the forms and reports runtime executables
or:
2. add directories to the FORMS60_PATH or REPORTS0_PATH registry entries for the directories that you want Forms or Reports to search in for files (but be aware that there is a 254 byte limit - so if you have multiple, long directory names this could be a problem.)

Hi markgeer,

Good to hear from you.

My environment is little different. I am developing, coding, linking a report (.rdf) file to an image file (residing on local drive) on a Windows XP machine. XP machine is connecting to Oracle 10g running on linux.

Problem is when I build/compile reports on windows xp image properties in .rdf file is pointing to an image directory on XP. Is there anyway I can define image directory at the runtime of the report?

Thanks.

You are correct. I was able to compile my reports by defining REPORTS_PATH in user environment. Thanks.
