Multiple Reports Servers on single machine

Forgive me if this has previously been posted - I searched, but I'm probably using the wrong terms to search properly.
Our current environment calls for two OAS installs (10.1.2.2.0) that access two separate oracle databases (10.2.0.2 if it matters). Those same app servers also run Forms and Reports (also 10.1.2.2.0), which the apps access.
What we are now attempting to do with limited success is to consolidate those two application servers and reports into one machine but have the services essentially separate, so that not only do the applications access different databases (this is where we've succeeded) but also the reports are separate (from the limited knowledge i have, i think it will require a separate cgicmd.dat file...maybe?).
In case i'm not being perfectly clear, i need to have the exact same report (many, in fact) on two separate reports servers (on the same machine) contacting two separate databases (incidentally by duplicates of the same app, too, but I can take care of that part).
Any tips on how I could accomplish this? I followed the short steps outlined here:
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.rptoem_hs%7Ctasks%7Crptoem_conf_addnew_repserver~html/
But I'm a bit foggy regarding what to do next.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The report gets called via the rwservlet (hope that answers your question correctly)
The application is in OAS.
The separation i require is both in the database and the reports themselves.
For example let's say i have devapp and testapp - both the exact same app. But they both need to access reports under the same key, but the report needs to get its info from its respective dev and test databases. The key is hardcoded so can't change.
If i understand correctly (a big "if"), the cgicmd.dat file tells wich report to grab and which database to connect to based on the key. Is there a way to have separate key map files (cgicmd.dat) called by separate applications? So that devapp will get Report1 using devdatabase, where testapp wil get Report1 using testdatabase?
It may not be possible to do this kind of server consolidation, I just need to know one way or another for sure - and if it is possible, how to proceed.

How to configure multiple report servers in Oracle 10 G R2?

I want to configure multiple report servers with my application deployed on Oracle 10G R2. Since R2 does not support report server clustering, how can this be achieved without any change in the application?
Currently, the application is running with single report server.

Hi Martin,
Well we are trying to run a report without exactly specifying the name of reports server anywhere, e.g. in database or in form or anywhere else. Now if I do not supply a reports server name using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, the error it displays is FRM-41211: Integration Error : SSL failure ... However if I specify the reports server name in the form, the reports run perfect. Also the name of reports server is specified in rwservlet.properties.
Now the question goes as follows:
Can I run my report from Form without specifying the name of the Reports server anywhere at all. This is so because either an in-process reports server should be picked or the one which is entered in rwservlet.properties should be pickec up by default. Please correct us if we are wrong. once we are through with it, we have to move to Oracle 10gR2 concept of reports server.
Thanks in anticipation,

Multiple Reports inside one Single Report

Post Author: maximus85
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi....I'm having this problem of having multiple reports inside one single report. Basically what i wanted to built is a Dashboard that contains 4 main subjects:i)Sales - Contains graph that can be drill down for further detailsii)Internal Process - Contains tables that can be drill downiii)Profit/Lossiv)HRAs far as i know, since all four are of different fact table data, they cannot be all thrown inside one single report to be built on. So i came out with using subreports instead for each components and then finally putting them all together as subreport inside the main report(Dashboard).However, i just realized that by doing that, whenever i clicked on the reports that i wanted to drill down with, it will prompt that particular report that i clicked into a new page, and then from there only i can perform drill down.Is there anyway to enable me to straight away drill down the Sales and Internal Process reports from the main reports(Dashboard) instead of having to click twice as that will be unnecessary right?Or mayb if there's another better ways to do what I have to do? Please do advise and suggest......Thanks alot.......

hi chack,
doesnt matter or preferrably both, as long as i can export all the reports in 1 page into 1 excel, or 1 pdf.

Creating multiple http servers on one machine

I created multiple http servers on one machine.
I did this in the following way:
Created a http service as nt service with the following command:
apache -i -n Testservice -f d:\oracle\isuites\apache\apache\conf\httpd2.conf.
When I start the service, I always get an error:
Didn't return an error. Cannot start service.
Can someone help me.
I need two httpd services as nt service. Because, I want to use oracle fail safe. So I need a service.
Alternative : I can create batch files. But I want to start these batch files as nt service. Is there a possibility on
Windows nt to do this, or an available tool.
Thanks in advance,

          If you want to have multiplie servers in the same machine and you want to cluster them then you need ip for each instance.
          If you want multiple instances without clustering, then you can have them run on the same ip but each one should have a different port.

          If you are accessing the ejb/services on the same server using a servlet. You can get the context, simply using the default getInitialContext(). This should return the context to the local machine. This shoudnt require any ip information.

Multiple report servers - with different uifont.ali

Can we have multiple report servers with different NLS_LANG?
They all should be started as windows service. Also I would like to have them look at different uifont.ali. The reason is that we want to have the same report run with different fonts in different languages. This way I can map the fonts in uifont.ali as I want.
Is it possible?

I don't think this is possible with multiple reports servers with one Oracle 9iAS home. You will have to install multiple 9iAS, in different Oracle homes.
This also means that you have different URL's (port numbers) for the two environments.
I have used this configuration before to install a test and production environment on one web server. Changing the conf files, variables etc. in the test environment doesn't influence the production environment that way.

Multi Seat Mode - Multiple X Servers on 1 Machine

I need to configure a SunBlade 2000 configured with an XVR1000 graphics board to be used by 2 people simultaneously with the own keyb & mouse.
To summarize :
1 Sun Blade 2000
1 Xvr1000
First Port connected to one monitor /dev/fbs/gfb0a
Second Port Connected to a second monitor /dev/fbs/gfb0b
2 Keyb & 2 mouse connected to the 4 USB ports
The 2 monitors must be handled by to istances of X server (2 dtlogin prompt) so the 2 people can work
indipendently.
I tried the following procedure with NO success.
Does anybody can help me ?
Thanks in advance

=============================================================================
In recent versions of Solaris, the Xsun keyboard & mouse DDX modules
have been extended to support multiple keyboards and mice on Solaris.
The Xorg server on Solaris x86 has similarly been extended to support
multiple mice, but not yet multiple keyboards.
Unfortunately, this is not a very well documented feature, though it is
supported - but you must pay close attention to the configuration
instructions and Limitations described below.
There are currently two choices for configuring X on a machine with
multiple input devices:
* One X server with the extra devices available via the X Input
extension (commonly used for accessibility helper programs, or for x86
laptop users)
* Multiple X servers, each with its own set of input & output
devices ("multi-seat" mode)
The two methods can be mixed on a single machine - when configuring you
simply need to determine which X server each device is going to be
associated with.
Requirements
* Solaris 9 FCS or later (SPARC or x86)
* USB-capable machine
* For Solaris 9, USB patch 115338-01 (sparc)/115339-01 (x86) or
newer. For Solaris 10, s10_17 or newer.
Limitations
Due to the nature of USB and Sun's implementation, USB devices may get
different numbers when initialized or hot-plugged in a different order.
A partial solution is to use the full path name under the /devices
hierarchy - this is tied to the physical port a device is plugged into,
so the order is no longer a problem, but devices must always be plugged
into the same port this way.
Xsun Configuration
The following sections may be added to either
/etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig or /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.
Xsun reads both when starting up and merges their contents.
* 1. Run ls -l /dev/usb/hid* to see what the existing device names are.
* 2. Attach the additional input devices to the machine
* 3. ls -l /dev/usb/hid* to see what the newly attached device names
are. Note at the end of each symlink line it will list whether it is a
keyboard or a mouse.
* 4. Add lines of the following form to OWconfig, one for each
device, and each with a unique name beginning with "IMOUSE" or "IKBD":
# sun Keyboard module
class="XINPUT" name="IKBD2"
dev="/dev/usb/hid2" strmod="usbkbm"
ddxHandler="ddxSUNWkbd.so.1"
ddxInitFunc="ddxSUNWkbdProc";
# sun Mouse module
class="XINPUT" name="IMOUSE2"
dev="/dev/usb/hid3" strmod="usbms"
ddxHandler="ddxSUNWmouse.so.1"
ddxInitFunc="ddxSUNWmouseProc";
* 5. To configure multiseat mode, add a section to OWconfig to
associate each keyboard, mouse, and frame buffer with a specific display
(in this case ":1"):
class="XDISPLAY" name="1"
coreKeyboard="IKBD2" corePointer="IMOUSE2"
dev0="/dev/fb1";
* 6. Test your configuration. For multiseat mode, run an Xserver on
the display you listed (xinit :1 or add a line for :1 to
/etc/dt/config/Xservers ). For use with the X input extension, restart X
and run xinputdev -l (source code here) to list the devices the server
sees. You can also run xinputdev -k & xinputdev -m to switch your core
keyboard and mouse to the specified devices.

Multiple Infrastructure servers with Single OID/SSO Server

I am trying to migrate an application from OAS/8.1.6 to 9iAS. We have multiple OAS instances clustered using Microsoft NLB and the remote database is also on a Microsoft cluster. We intend to use Single Sign On for authentication of clients (application is in remote 9i Database accessed via a PLSQL DAD)
Have successfully implemented this on a single machine - installed 9iAS Infrastructure and now web clients can go to url http://server.com/myapp and are redirected to the single sign on pages before running the /myapp application via the PLSQL DAD.
However, I am having problems trying to scale this via installing further infrastructure instances which utilise the first OID/SSO server above. This appears to be a supported configuration and during install I am prompted for the location of the OID/SSO server - the first server is located correctly and installation works fine.
However, mod_osso doesn't seem to be configured when the subsequent servers are installed. I've followed the procedures described in the Oracle Note 217155.1 "HOW TO avoid the redirection to the SSO-Server" to configure the new servers as partner applications to the original server. A PLSQL Dad has also been configured on these servers and tested without mod_osso in the way.
Accessing the /myapp application via any of the new servers results in redirection to single sign on pages with the text "Error: Invalid value specified. (WWC-41409)" being displayed on the login page so there's obviously a configuration error.
Has anybody else been through the exercise of creating a distributed enterprise level infrastructure installation of 9iAS and would be willing to share any lessons learnt? Or does anyone know how to solve the WWC-41409 error?

If you haven't finished configuring your server configuration already you might want to do a search on Metalink using the key word "ptlasst.bat". You can create and wire multiple repositories using this utility.

Multiple LDAP servers on single System

hi,
Would like to know if its a good idea to have multiple LDAP servers running on a single System (Hardware) ..
100,000 user base
We would like to run the old and new LDAP databases on the same server till we phase out the old LDAP database after migrating all applications..
System:
2 x V880 4CPU 8GB RAM --multi-master configuration
4 x V420R 4CPU 8GB RAM -- read only replicas

Shouldnt be an issue - thats not a particularly large user base and thats some heft y HW. Keep in mind though that they will be on different ports so any software you migrate may eventually need tweaking to the default port when the new takes over.

Multiple report fields from single physical column.

Hi Experts,
I have a physical table like below. Multiple records for a single customer id. The no of Address_type may increase in future.
Customer_id     Address_Type         Address
101                  Primary                   abcdefgh
101                  Secondary               234oij3mb4
101                  Billing                      mdmnweoij4
102................etc.
My Requirement on OBIEE is to display report as below.
Customer_ID, Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address.
101                 abcdefgh            234oij3mb4               mdmnweoij4
Multiple report fields ( Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address ) are derived from same physical column ADDRESS.
I tried to duplicate the Address column on the report thrice and added conditions like Address_Type = Primary/Secondary/Billing for those three fields respectively.
But only of the field is getting correct data and rest of duplicate columns are null.
Tried FILTER function on OBI Answers, but the function fails saying it should be used only on measures.
Thought the alternative would be to define multiple logical columns at BMM layer. Created multiple alias for same table at physical layer and correspondingly created LTS for each on a single logical table. Defined Fragmentation/Where conditions.
LTS1 - Address_Type = PRIMARY
LTS2 - Address_Type - SECONDARY
LTS3 - Address_Type - BILLING
Created multiple logical columns from each LTS like Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address from LTS1, LTS2, LTS3 respectively.
This time, am getting data for all the fields on the report but getting cartesian result.
Can someone guide me whether my approach is correct or any other alternate best approach to achieve the desired result.
Note: I have the data Address on multiple physical rows for a customer, rather Not in a single row. which is causing me problem.
Thanks...
Ramchand.

Hi Srini VEERAVALLI,
I have lot many other fields in the same report coming from other tables.
Does the Pivot table option for above mentioned Address fields affect other columns?
If Yes, Can there be any other alternative? Am thinking of Opaque View at Physical layer to bring all Addresses on a single row.
Thanks...
Ramchand.

Moving multiple reporting servers to one server

Our current environment consists of several 2008 r2 native reporting servers that have there own reporting database.
Our new environment will be a load balanced 2012 native report server that will use one 1 SQL 2012 reporting database. How would I go about migrating all the 2008 R2 databases into 1 central database. I have read up about some migration tools
that are available but I'm not sure if the tool(s) will allow the option for specifying a specific database, which will allow all the content to moved.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Multiple RMI servers in single JVM

Hi,
I have a RMI server listening to requests from internal network as well as external network. RMI returns the hostname as part of the stub. So to ensure that the subsequent RMI calls work fine I need to ensure that jama.rmi.hostname is set to correct value.
With 2 network IPs on 1 machine (internal & external), one option was to use a domain name as hostname and set it as java.rmi.hostname. Unfortunately, my client is not allowing use of DNS. So the hostname can be set only as an IP address.
Is there some way I can start 2 RMI servers in single JVM. While starting first one I can set hostname as internal IP and then while starting the other one I set hostname as external IP.
Problem is I don't know if such a solution can be setup. I read somewhere that from jdk1.4, System.setProperty("java.rmi.server.hostname", "172.25.17.41"); will set hostname dynamically. So all future requests will use the latest hostname.
Important thing is some way to make sure both networks can connect to my JVM through RMI.

I get it, you're going down the path I hate. I have undone this so many times ... (essential when deploying RMI Proxies).
Don't know why your intranet clients can't connect, unless it's the local binding of the server socket.
If you must explore this horrible kludge around a Sun kludge (and overload the SF mechanism even further), you may as well go the whole hog and have the SSF corresponding to each CSF bind its ServerSocket to the local address that you're going to embed in the CSF. Then you really know who can connect and who can't.
When writing SFs you need to think about what equality of socket factories really means. It only needs to imply that both socket factories being compared observe the same superimposed protocol (e.g. SSL), or that they both don't superimpose a protocol at all, so outbound or incoming calls really really can share the same port.
SF equality generally doesn't need to extend as far as whether the embedded host names (in your case - ugh!) are the same, or the port numbers if you want go the whole hog and bypass the stub's remote reference info altogether.

Query Design Strategies - servicing multiple reports from a single query

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good web resrouces (articles and such) to assist with Query Design Strategies. What I am specifically looking to do is replace multiple reports from the previous system with just views of a single query. So I was looking at grouping the existing reports that we are replacing into queries and creating views for each report.
The catch is that we will only be utilizing web reporting for report distribution, so we need to:
1. Use views as DataProviders to web templates
2. Broadcast views to users as links where they can see that particular view
Is this possible and does anyone have some info on how to do this?

Lets say that 10 broadcasted reports all could use the same query but each in a different navigational state.
1. Can you navigate the query and save as a view and then set up a brodacast rule for that view?
2. Can a DataProvider in a web template be a view?
3. Can the BI Launcher iView take a view name in place of a query?
<prt_protcl>://<prt_server>/<bi_launcher>?TEMPLATE=TEST1&QUERY=TEST2

Display Multiple reports in a single query view

Hi Team,
I have 3 similar reports for MTD, QTD & YTD.
While displaying the report in the portal.. I want to display the reports in a single view wherein the MTD report will be a default report for the input selections. whereas the QTD & YTD will be available as dropdown options in the same query view and the wll be executed for the same input selections.
Please advice how to design the view.

Printing Multiple Reports in a Single Request Set to Different Printers

We are running on 11.5.10 and have three reports in a single request set.
Two of the reports are standard laserjet compatible reports and we would like these sent to whatever printer is specificed in the request set when it is executed. The third report is a shipping label report and we require that this report always print to a specific (tractor feed) printer while using a partiuclar style we have defined for this printer.
When we set the label report in its concurrent defininition screen to print only at the label printer and the request set to print to a nearby laserjet the request fails on the first job (one that should be sent to the laserjet) with an error indicating that the style defined for the label printer (ie. "RAW") does not exist on the laserjet printer (which it does not, but it does not need to be).
Is it even possible to have two reports in a single request set print to different printers?
Thanks,
Scott

We never bounce the concurrent manager process when we update the concurrent program define. There has never been a need to do so. But, regardless, it bounces twice a week anyway and it has had no effect.
I do not think this is possible without using a 3rd party/custom solution (ex. Optio).
The requirement is pretty simple really: We have a report that MUST ABSOLUTLEY ALWAYS_ print only to a single, particular printer. And, if it is in a request set that contains other reports and it is defined to print to a different printer they all should go to the "correct" printers.
If anyone has a method to do this please post!

How to display results set of multiple reports into a single report table

Our goal is to create a single report (or dashboard) that shows the "funnel" of object creations related to each campaign. The flow goes from Activity to Lead to Opportunity as well as multiple steps within each (ie. Unqualified Lead -> Qualified Lead, etc).
We currently have 3 separate reports in three different subject areas, each reporting the different metrics and we would like to combine the output into a single Unified report.
For example what we currently have is:
Activities:
Campaign Name # of Activities
Campaign A 12
Campaign B 26
Leads:
Campaign Name # of Leads # of Qualified Leads
Campaign A 10 4
Campaign B 20 18
Opportunities:
Campaign Name # of Opportunities # of Opps per Sales Stage ... # of Wins Closed Revenue
Campaign A 3 2 1 $1,000.00
Campaign B 10 8 3 $2,800.00
What we want to see is:
Combined:
Campaign Name - Campaign Cost - # of Activities - # of Leads - # of Qualified Leads - # of Opportunities - # of Opps per Sales Stage - # of Wins - Closed Revenue
Campaign A - $423.00 - 12 - 10 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - $1,000.00
Campaign B - $ 1,000.00 - 26 - 20 - 18 - 10 - 8 - 3 - $2,800.00
We have tried using the "Combine with similar analysis" but the number of columns for each subject area differ. We also tried creating multiple UNION criteria (one for each column), but in the case of # of Opps per Sales Stage and Closed Revenue, those are not "Metrics" fields, so they won't combine.

Hi, You may have to create some dummy fields to equate the no. of field in each of the report matching the data type too and get a one single report using combined analytics and then using the resultant data you can create a simple pivot like below. Haven't tried it before

Hi Venky,
I am facing the same problem. Can you please say Steps how to create resultant data and Combine in pivot Table .
Please Help me .
