One of the volunteers on the ES forum expressed concern about the Oracle Report Builder (ORB) extension not working on AOO builds: it seems that the extension installs, but reports previously created with it do not run.
Looking at the mailing list archive, I understand that because of the IP clearance some libraries used by ORB are not available any more. I found references that it should be possible to build the extension again or to replace it, but it seems that those comments did not have a follow up. Databases are not part of my field of knowledge so I cannot say I fully understand the problem, but this volunteer says the extension is really useful for him and for many others and that the lack of it is a "show stopper" considering the need, on an eventual migration to AOO 3.4, to redesign the documents previously generated using that extension. So that's the question: is there any alternative to ORB, or plans to replace it with something compatible? Regards Ricardo
