Very weird report server problem

Hello gurus,
I'm currently facing werid problem.My report server status is UP and running.But I try to access the showjobs url, the page shows *500 internal server error* or cannot bind to report server errors.
I have enabled traces and actually found out that report sever engines are actually running,picking up reports,creating DB connections,formatting pages and dumping into cache folder,like everything normal.All traces show no error or abnormality.
rwdiag command also shows my report sever exists.
I can't understand how is this possible.Please guide me..
I think the problem is with the rwservlet?I'm sure rwclient and rwrun would run successfully as well..
anyone..

Weird report server problem

Hi all,
suddenly my report server started giving me goosebumps...it started just this morning.My report server restarts automatically.But all the reports are working and have even checked via rwrun and rwclient.EM shows report server restarting every second.
It is giving me an error that the report server already exists in the network.*
Exception 56040 (): Server rep_bsliahucom03_bi_dev_install already exists in the network
oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:568)1.no other report server exists with the same name in the n/w.
2.DISPLAY is set correctly
3.checked all files
I have check everything possible and i just cant understand whats causing the issue.
earlier logs said opmn failied in pinging rep server so I even removed that dependency in opmn.xml....this is weird
and rwdiag command shows correct result.
I noticed something weird in traces report trace shows something weird for evironmental variable LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0XA0000000@DSA
but it is set LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x80000000 in our OAS 10g R2 right?
Guys need help :)

hi there,
Thanx for replying :)
rwdiag.sh shows correct results.No repeated report server names.
Broadcast mechanism used to locate servers
Channel address = 228.5.6.7
Channel port = 14021
(1) Name = rep_bsliahucom03_bi_dev_install : Type = server : Host = bsliahucom03.bsli.com
(2) Name = rep_bsliahucom01_biforms_install : Type = server : Host = bsliahucom01.bsli.com
above shows tow different OAS servers.

Bind to report server problem

hello all
please i want your help of my case that iam trying to run areport from aform both are (10g).
the problem is when calling the report from a button in aform with this code in the ''when_button_pressed'' trigger
web.show_document('http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?&report=c:\MODULE2.jsp&destype=cache&desformat=PDF&userid=scott/tiger@ahmad');
it generates for me aweb page with an error (REP-51002: BIND TO REPORT SERVER FAILD).
The advise presented from reports builder help is to make sure that the Reports Server is running and that the Reports Server name is correct.
so i make from run the following test ''rwserver'' it gives me aprompt with a message (please consult the installation guides for how to setup and run this program).
so please please help find the solution.
note: when i try to run the report from the report builder it works good and generates the report properly both paper layout or web layout.

Thank u so much rajesh for your advises and help.
i have tried your steps you have written in the last theared on my pc and on another pc has the same (10 g release) and project and i got the following results:
1.For the scond pc evry thing was good and works properly. when performeing the command (rwserver server= rep_server) it intializes the report server and starting it very well and calling a report from aform goes well. and when running your form REPORT_SERVER_LIST.fmx it gives me the results for list of rep servers started.
But on my pc which has the problem when running the command (rwserver server= rep_server) it starting the rep server for a 1 or 2 seconds then quickly shutdown the report server alone.
when trying again and again when starting the rep server it gives a windos error msg says (connot delete file ''rep_repservername'') and shut down the rep server.
can u please rajesh explain for me wy it is happening?
i have tried to solve the problem so i vave opened the (Devhome\reports\server\) and and i found the reports servers files thier. i have recognised that that those files is (.dat) files and was considered the (Windos media player 10) as the recomended program to open . Do you think Rajesh that the (Windos media player 10) desabling the report servers and shutdown it??? becuase i have so that no recomended progrom to open in the good pc.
please rajesh help>>>.

Oracle 10g Reports Server - problem authenticating against DB

I have a problem with Oracle 10g Reports server authenticating against an Oracle RDBMS.
When I try to run reports, an authentication form screen is presented, with the password field empty (the URL in explorer that loads this page contains the username and DB instance, but is missing the password) and the following error message:
REP-51018: Need database user authentication
When the password is entered into the empty field in the form and submitted, another 2 authentication errors are given.
REP-51018: Need database user authentication
REP-12545: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
When the URL in the browser location field is manually altered to include the DB password, the reports are authenticated fine.
Any ideas which config file I should be looking in?
Any pointers would, of course, be much appreciated.
thanks,
Brian

Hello, i finally have discovered what was happening, it has to be with the way FreeBSD passes the password field. By default FreeBSD passes the password field with a '*' while Oracle Linux (and Red Hat clones) expect an 'x' to look into shadow maps (Linux uses the '*' character in the password file to not allow login to that user).
To solve it the password field served by the NIS server must be substituted, which is accomplished with nsswitch.conf and adding a line to the /etc/password file on the NIS Client, so the final files will look this way:
# nsswitch.conf (compat directive allows us to use the '+' sintaxis in /etc/passwd file)
passwd files compat
# /etc/passwd (just add at the end of file)
+:x:::::

Report Server Problem

I used rwserver -install repsrv, to install Reports Server and i use rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product(REPORTS,l_v4, SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL) to call a report.
the path of the report is defined with a parameter i define in default.env file.
When the report is in my computer the report runs. if the report is in a mapped network drive i get the message 41214-Unable to Run Report and then 41217-Unable to get Report job Status.
I can't find whats going on. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The current version of iAS cannot work with network drives. The files must be on a local disk.
I hope Oracle will fix this problem in 9.0.4, since it is highly irritating when you must install your files on all machines if you have load-balanced your applications over several machines.

Oracle report server problem

Hi all
I install oracle application server 10gR2 on THREE servers (windows server 2003)
all the servers on the same doman.
so that means I have three oracle report server on the network.
but when I run the following command (rwdiag -findAll)on one of the servers, it gives me just two oracle report server exist on the network the third on is missing despite that it is up.
And when I execute the same command (rwdiag -findAll) on the same server which contains the report server which I have problem with, it gives me that it is on the network.

ZCM 11 Sp1 Reporting server Problem

Hi after migrating the embedded database to MS SQL 2008 I am facing a problem while generating any report.
The error message is as followed
A database error occured. The database error text is: The server version is not supported. The target server must be SQL server 2000 or later.. (WIS 10901).
I have re-installed the reporting server as suggested by NTS but the issue still remains.
Regards
Abhilash

Hi Craig Wilson,
Thanks for your reply, I guess we specify the DB server address and port detail in /opt/novell/zenworks/share/boe/bobje/odbc.ini file, but in my configuration file there is nothing related to that. Will that be the reason for this problem?
Regards

Are Dynamic Ports Disabled on your SQL Server for the DB?
Taking a Trace from the Reporting Server, Do you see SQL requests being
sent to your DB Server? (Maybe its using an incorrect address for some
reason.)

Report server problem - REP-110

Hi,
I am running a report server 10g on AIX 5.3.
While executing the URL,
http://192.168.107.205:7786/reports/rwservlet/showjobs
I am getting an error like,
Error
Terminated with error: <br>REP-110: Unable to open file 'rep1'. REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document. REP-0110: Unable to open file 'rep1'.
What will be the problem. Please help me to solve this.
Regards,
Mathew

Not sure if this helps but have you checked if there is a file called "rep 1" and what rights are set for that file?

RWServlet & Reports Server PROBLEM

I have Ora8i, 9ias & reports6i.
Forms Servlet Listener is up and running fine. However I keep getting the "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error. I have been through just about every post, note, bug and document I can find and nothing I have tried works. I've seen numerous mentions of inserting TNS_ADMIN into various config files, none of which made a blind bit of difference. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello,
check, that you have the alias for your reports-server added to your TNSNAMES.ORA files.
TNS_ADMIN is an environment var. that allows you to point from different oracle_homes to a single TNS CONFIGURATION.
in case you still have problems, i would contact oracle support services.

Oracle 11i Reports Server Problem

When i tried to exploer the Service
Financials Intelligence - Vision Operations (USA)
in Oracle Applications 11i Server. It gives out the following error
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Unable to communicate with the Reports Server.
Can anyone tell me what may be the cause for this error.
Earliest responses appreciated.
Thnks,
Sundar.

I have checked the reports server . It was not running. When i tried to restart the reports server service. It gives the following error message
Windows could not start the Oracle Report Server [Rep_60_vis] on Local Computer. For more information, review the system event log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, Contact the service vendor , and refer to service-specific error code 186.
BTW, Can you please let me know the file name of the Reports Server script so that i can have a look at it.

VERY weird OVM networking problem

First, this may have nothing to do with OVM, but the problem I'm seeing is happening on all FIVE of my VM servers. I can't even guess what's going on. Maybe you have seen this and solved it, or maybe you can suggest what I can do to debug this.
Here are the details:
I have a 3-node cluster, built from brand new IBM x3650 M4 servers. I have a 2-node cluster, built from old retired IBM xSeries servers that used to be VMWare ESX servers. My office is on another subnet from the data center network that contains all 5 servers. I see the following symptoms occasionally and randomly (I see it at least once a day, and can make it happen multiple times a day if I keep trying):
1. When I SSH to one of these boxes, sometimes the session will freeze. At other times, the session will work perfectly, but after exiting the SSH session, any subsequent attempt to ping or connect via TCP from my desktop to that server will absolutely fail. That is, ping, traceroute, and ssh (and presumably, everything) failes.
2. If I don't try to communicate with that server for several minutes (maybe 5 to 10 minutes, I'm not sure), and then try to ping or SSH to the box, it works again!
3. However, if after, say, exiting SSH, and finding that I can't ping the server, if I keep pinging (from Windows, I say "ping -t -w 5000 vmserver") the pings will fail FOREVER. I have left it pinging for 24 hours, and it would never answer a ping. But then if I stop the pinging, wait ten minutes, and ping again, it works. I swear.
4. During the time that I am unable to ping one of VM servers from my desktop, if I try to ping that same server from another desktop machine in my office, connected to the SAME little 4-port switch, it works perfectly.
5. This is ever more weird: During the time that my desktop 1 cannot ping server1, say, I can go go desktop 2 (right beside desktop 1), open an SSH session to server1, and from there, I can ping desktop1. I swear.
Why would I think this is an Oracle VM problem, you ask? Well, I wouldn't, except that I have other servers in that data center, that run ESX, and AIX, and Windows, and I've tried like hell to make one of them exhibit one of these symptoms, and I cannot do it.
If you have any ideas about what the heck is going on, I'd appreciate hearing them.

Doesn't sound like a VM problem to me. Sounds like you either have a spanning tree loop or you've got a lot of packet collisions causing issues.
I don't know how much you know about networking but a spanning tree loop is when you have multiple paths connected to the same physical network without using load balancing or multipathing. You can have multiple connections between physical networks but it must be configured properly or you'll have one link come up and the other go into blocking mode. you'll never know which one it might be. That is.... if the links have the same cost. Thus you get a "loop". If the ports are "floping". You'll have times when its up and times when its down. Your network admin should be able to see if the spanning tree is constantly be rewritten. That is a sure sign you have a network loop.
You said you have a 4 port switch? If that switch is set on a port that's set to do "portfast" then the switching fabric will never learn what's behind that switch. You just can't plug a switch into a network and expect it to work. Again, I don't know what you know about networking so don't take it the wrong way.
Packet collisons happen when you have a link between equipment where one side negotiates to a different speed than another. Say one side is 100 half duplex while the other end is 1000G Full duplex. You get massive amounts of collision and it will only get worse the more traffic you try to pass. Again. You mentioned a 4 port switch. You should never assume that switches will ever negotiate at the same speed on each end of the connection. Cisco has historically recommended that inter switch links be hard code to avoid 'negotiation" issues. Its not a big a difference in 1 gb siwtchiing and 10 gb switch but if you have a 100 mb 4 port switch hooked into a 1gb link..... that might be your problem. Just some thoughts.
IF you really were having a VM issues. The cluster heartbeat would be causing the VM servers to constantly reboot. So I don't think its on you servers. Probabily between you and the servers.
