Can default report server and OC4J be used ..?

Question

Hi,
*1*. I had a report server named stcreportserver that was working fine during the testing phase but suddenly it started throwing errors like cannot connect to report server,cannot open file and cannot get the job id........
I would like to know when i host this application on the windows server 2003 for the users can i use the default report server instead of creating a new server.....
*2.* I have got another application say app2 ...so for hosting do i need to make some additional configurations like creating a new oc4j instance for this application...or can i use the default oc4j instance that i use for my first application.
Note: I use the same database for both the application but different schemas.

We did some tests and discovered the following: <strong> </strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Using "null" for the filename.</strong>
</p>
<p>
If I pass in "null" for the fileName, my code runs without any issues and the FRS file is now changed to a new random file, but this file does not have the .rpt extension. I can preview the report in the CMC without any issues, but the underlying file is missing the .rpt extension. I can manually add the .rpt extension and open the report in the CR Designer without any issues. In this case, the InfoObject's SI_UPDATE_TS property is updated.

If I change the fileName in anyway, such as prepending "1" to the fileName, my code runs without errors as well. I can see that the FRS file has been updated with the new name and it does have the .rpt extension.<br />
<br />
In this case, the InfoObject's SI_UPDATE_TS property is updated as well.
