Report server 6i and Report services 10g

what is the extra features in Report Services 10g which are not available in Report server 6i.
why would we use AS report services 10g rather then report server 6i,and our only requirment is to run oracle report on web which can fulfill with the help of reports server 6i.

There is a long list of new features and I cant put all of them here
You can see docs below
For running on Web 9i, 10g moves to Servlet based architecture (though old cgi mode is available for backward compatibility). Reports behaves as a component in IAS and can be monitored and managed through Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM).
More details here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/index.html

Oracle Application server Forms and Report services 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2

Hi,
I am installing the Oracle Application server Forms and Report services 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2003 R2, but the problem is that setup is not running on this Windows 2003 R2 version.
Any idea about this why it is not running.
Regards,
Iftikhar

You asked this
How can i find what is the latest version that i can upgrade this install to
I told you where to find the last update, I checked that version yesterday, the last update is 10.1.2.3, my misstake was to put a 0 before the 3.
You can go to Patches & update>Quick Links to: Latest Patchsets, Mini Packs and Maintenance Packs>Oracle Fussion Middle Ware> Look for you OS versión and CPU> No clic just put pointer over the links and you will see the last one.
And finaly could look for the CPU of Jul and Apr that as requirement they ask for version 10.1.2.3 (as I say I checked yesterday)

Calling Reports from a Form - Application Server Forms and Reports Services

Hi
We currently are running App Server 10G Forms and Reports and Oracle DB 11G. Forms are running fine with the Apps Server but what I need to find out is how do I set the path for the .rdf files of the reports and how do I configure the Apps Server to present the Reports? I am sure we have to edit a .conf file and add the server name but not sure what to do or how to do it?
ps. I am a newb but I managed to get both of Apps Server and Database configured on my lonesome so I am just missing the info on the Reports side of things.
The Developer has asked the following questions :-
We want to run a report created in report builder from forms by using the following command in forms;
web.show_document(v_url,'_blank');
what does v_url need to be - we need to find an example showing the v_web_address and v_rpt_server
v_url := 'http://'||v_web_address||'/reports/rwservlet?server='||v_rpt_server||'+report=test_report.rdf &desformat=PDF&userid=user/pw@database'
Do we need to make changes on the report server configuration and where should the rdf files reside?
Regards

If our Apps server is s-lon-w-001.homes.local, where do I make the changes in these two files to make the reports to run. You can see I have defined the reports on the C: on the server.

"Unable to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct". Performance Point Dashboard Designer (SP 2013), SSRS 2012 Report.

Hello Everybody,
I am using Sharepoint server 2013 , SQL Server 2012 SP1, PerfomancePoint and Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode.
I built one report in SSDTusing an Analysis Services Cube. This report has 3 parameters. So the idea is use Dashboard Designer to use this SSRS Report and connect it with some PP Filters.
The issue is that I am always obtaining "Unable to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct".
I have the following settings in the PP Report:
Server Mode: SharePoint Integrated
SharePoint Site: http://MySharrepointSite:PortNumber/sites/bicenter
Document library : Documents (selected from drop down, my report is deployed to document library)
Report : report.rdl
When I select the report from drop down list its giving the error in a pop up message box as "Unable
to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct".
I have tried to use the most simple report, only with one parameter, but is always displaying the error above.
When I open the report directly from documents library its working fine and even it is working fine (
when I deployed the report) but the issue is parameters are not showing.
Any idea? Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

"Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService.
Hello Tom,
It should be "ReportServer" in the URL, not "ReportService".
In "Reporting Service Configuration Manager" look up the correct URL. Open Internet Explorer with right-mouse click => "Run as Administrator" and open the URL, this should work. Navigate to "Side setting" (on top right side),
go to tab "Security" and add your account with role "System Administrator". Afterwards you should be able to open the URL without running IE as admin.

How to start Report Server automatically in developer suit 10g

Hi all
I have an application implemented using Developer Suit 10 g forms and reports builder.
For this application, the first report to be printed after booting the computer takes a long time (around 5 minutes)
when printing any more report (even if it was the one printed before ) it takes a little time, this means that the first report made the report server start.
I rebooted the computer, but this time i started the report server manually using this command :
<strong>rwserver server=report_server_name</strong>
Now, the report is printed after a little time, It's OK.
<strong>Is there any configuration to start the Report Server automatically in developer suit 10g after the computer boots ?
</strong>Please help

No answer ?

How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?

How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?
I am having a problem running report 9i from forms 9i (see below thread). How do I find out the name of the report server? I checked my C:\ids\reports\conf directory but don't see anything that gives me the name of the reports server. I also don't have a iashome directory.
Also, I just want to run the paper report (not the web version).
Thanks.

Hi,
please read teh Forms / Reports integration paper in teh Collateral section for Oracle9i Forms at otn.oracle.com/products/forms
In summary, you have to create an external Reports Service that you can then give a name.

Crystal Reports Server 2011 and BW 7 as a data source for uploaded reports.

Hello,
I am hoping someone can provide me with a clear answer for this.
Lets assume..
1. We are running crystal reports server 2011 and BW 7
2. We want to publish a report in the BI Launch pad so users can view it
3. Can we create a crystal report in the report designer with the data source as BW 7 then upload it to the reports server and have it run on-demand and Run over night?
Can anyone shed some light in this area?
kind regards
david

Hi,
Crystal Reports Server is not supporting the SAP Integration Kit. You will need BusinessObjects Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise

Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..

Starting/Stopping Application Server Forms and Reports

Hello,
Are there any scripts (like dbstart and dbshut for Oracle DB) for starting and stopping "Application Server Forms and Reports". If not, any special suggestions?
I must automatically start this application on Unix. I know that during starting some steps must be performedy by the root user (export DISPLAY env variable and issue the "xhost +" command) and later the oracle user must do some things( export ORACLE_HOME and DISPLAY and issue the "opmnctl startall" command). Does anybody have scripts like that?
Regards,
Tim

If you're on 10.1.2, there is a script (requires an X Windows session). It's called runstartupconsole.sh, but you've got to update the install type to Portal in the ias.properties file if I remember right. It looks cool, but a shell script works better.
Here is a shell script that does some of those things. You still need to run xhost+ after running a display if you're using something that requires a DISPLAY to start. Someone may have a better one, but this one works.
We actually use one that starts all the different components individually except for Reports in rc scripts. That is the only thing we have that needs a Display set to start. So then xhost + is run & at the same time, the Unix sysadmin runs a script that start Reports from opmn.
I hope this is useful.
Cordially,
Steve

Get report server name and port name

J want to know if it is possibile to obtain from a form the name of the report server and the port on work.
Infact if i use two different application server the nae of the report server change and in the script that call the report server is necesseraly using the name of the report server.
Thank's

if your cases are that the dev, test, production servers have different servers and databases, then you may create a table e.g., report_server_profiles(serv_name varchar2(100),ports number), it contains one record ONLY in each server's database, then in your form code only have same code that works for three of them.
If you have two report servers, but have one database, then you may add a flag column in above table and depends on users group to set that report flag.
