9iAS Installation on RedHat 6.2 Linux -- Reports Server

The installation of 9iAS went pretty smooth. The HTTPD server works, portal works but reports are a dismal failure. Since developer6i reports and forms were installed under ../9iAS/6iserver setting the environment so that they all are started at bootup would be a big plus. Further, I cannot get any reports to run from either the command line or web. I have gone through many notes but still no avail. Would someone PLEASE guide me in setting up the correct environment variables for all elements of 9iAS and integrated start. This has never worked correctly even after step-by-step checks using installation guide and release notes. The bosses want to use Windows, I have sold them on Linux for the time being, so please help.

When setting up the environment variables, I found it easiest (in a development environment) to just add the entries to the /etc/profile file. The following are just examples and may or may not apply to your particular installation:
# Set the oracle home variable
ORACLE_BASE="/u01/apps/oracle/products"
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/8.1.6
# Now to export the variables to the environment.
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME
Hope this helps!

Printer Problem In Oracle Forms And Reports server

Hi,
I am facing a problem regarding installation of printer drivers in my Reports Server (10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2003).
Unless the printer driver is installed locally on the Report Server Reports are not printing.
The problem is with the USB printers at various location .
How to install the printer in this case.
Any one can help in this regards.
Regards,
Kumar

I think that specific drivers are needed always when you need to print in windows enviroments, with or without report server, locally or remotely. If windows "see" the printer, report server does too.

Issues while migration reports to 2012 report server .

I am stuck in report server related issue . Following are steps and log files details for migrating report server database from 2005 to 2012 :-
Back up the encryption key for the report server database.
Back up the report server database a SQL Server database.
Back up the report server configuration files.
Restore the database from the backup created , As temporary database and the main database are depend so they should be restored together.
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the Reporting Services instance you just installed.
Configure URLs for the report server and Report Manager
Configure the report server database, selecting the existing report server database from your previous installation. After successful configuration, the report server services
will restart, and once a connection is made to the report server database, the database will be automatically upgraded to SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services.
As we were not able to figure out the password I tried another approach to test if the
report server works after deleting the encrypted data . I deleted encrypted data.
Error below is shown in log files when I try to access report manager .

Hello Manish,
I am sorry for my delay.
As we know, the service pack of SQL Server is free to download and install, and the latest SP for SQL server 2005 is SP4, so that Microsoft recommend that we migrate the service from SQL Server 2005 SP4 to SQL Server 2012. If you still want to upgrade the
service from SSRS 2005 SP3, we cannot guarantee that all features can work properly, and we did not test it yet. Therefore, I still recommend you upgrade the SQL server 2005 to SP4 if possible.
In addition, you can refer to the following article on MSDN to see whether it can meet your requirement. It is a general step to migrate the SSRS.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143747.aspx
I hope it is helpful to you.

Forms and reports server characterset aix

My database is in UTF8 mode and is displaying all characters correctly.
However when I run a report using the forms and reports server it uses Western European Character Set.
I have tried re-installing forms and reports server in order to fix this characterset issue, however I am not prompted for a characterset at installation time, so the forms and reports server is still set to the Western European Character Set, thus, some characters are not being displayed (inverse ?).
I have tried specifying UTF8 for NLS_LANG in reports.sh but I only get garbage displayed.
Can someone point me in the right direction please

This issue has now been resolved. Changing the NLS_LANG setting in reports.sh to POLISH_POLAND.UTF8 was correct. The issue then was that greek symbols were displayed. This was a font issue and was resolved by amending a file
$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/AFM/fontname (where fontname is the characterset you are using,eg in my case Courier ).
the Change was to amend the line:
EncodingSchemeProperty AdobeStandardEncoding
to read
EncodingSchemeProperty FontSpecific
This fixed the problem for me , but Oracle also advise to amend the file $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/Tk2Motif.rgb:
eg change the below line from:
!Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-2=EE8ISO8859P2
to:
Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-2=UTF8 (or whatever charcterset you are using).
Note that the exclamation mark has been removed.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1, RedHat Enterprise Linux, MySQL, ODBC

Iu2019m confused about connecting to an ODBC source from a report within CMC. Iu2019m a Unix guy; I donu2019t know much about Crystal reports, but Iu2019m working with a Crystal guy to get this thing working.
 
First, background: I have installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 in RedHat Enterprise Linux (5.4), and itu2019s running just fine! Iu2019m using the included Tomcat application server, but Iu2019m storing CMS and Audit data our local running copy of MySQL (5.1.42). The RHEL install is native 32-bit (the only way I could get it to work), Crystal is storing and retrieving data from MySQL, The Central Management Console is responding to port 8080 over Tomcat, Iu2019m able to log in and see stuff, and so far, life is good.
 
Now, where Iu2019m stuck: the data weu2019re trying to build reports from also resides in this local Linux / MySQL install, and connecting to it from a report within CMC is where Iu2019m lost.
 
First, I successfully installed the unixODBC and MyODBC drivers in Linux. Iu2019m able to connect to MySQL successfully using the isql utility. Here are my conf files:
 
<pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code jive-java">/etc/odbc.ini
[DSN_NAME]
Driver = MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver
DATABASE = project_web_prod
DESCRIPTION = Project Description
UID = username
PWD = password
SOCKET = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
/etc/odbcinst.ini
[MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver]
Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc5.so
UsageCount = 1
</code></pre>
 
Again, this all works with isql (Iu2019ve even used both a socket connection, and port 3306, in odbc.ini).
 
Now, our Crystal guy uploads a report into the CMC. I go to Folders -> <Project Folder>, right-click the report I want to test, click Database Configuration, and check the option Use custom database login information specified here. I select database driver ODBC from the dropdown, and type in the server, database, username, and password info. However, when I try to run the report, it fails to connect.
 
So, stupid question, can Crystalu2019s CMC use the system ODBC configuration options? (The ones stored in /etc). Because I saw an odbc.ini file in ~crystalinstalldir/bobje/. I edited it to match the contents of my /etc/odbc[inst].ini files, but to no avail. I saw that Crystal has itu2019s own ODBC engine, but it doesnu2019t support MyODBC driver, does it? I even tried hacking env.sh to use the system unixODBC library instead of the included one, but no luck.
 
So, in short, my question: how do I simply get reports in CMC to connect to a MySQL data source (using ODBC)?
 
Thanks so much! An answer to this question will save my day!
 

Thank you, Efstratios, for the helpful reply!
So, I followed the directions in the PDF file you attached, and everything went smoothly. However, Iu2019m still not able to connect to ODBC within CMC.
Hereu2019s what I did:
<ul style="list-style-type:disc">
<li>Copied the unixODBC libraries over to <installdir>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/odbc/lib</li>
<li>Removed MySQL ODBC connector 5.1, installed MySQL ODBC connector 3.51.</li>
<li>Edited <installdir>/bobje/defaultodbc.ini, added my DSN and MySQL library info as per the instructions (I have both an odbc.ini, and defaultodbc.ini, identical files, just to be safe)</li>
<li>Tested the connection using these libraries, this odbc.ini, and isql. Worked just fine</li>
</ul>
So, my problem seems to be in getting the CMC to actually use my ODBC setup!
Any other hints / things I could try?
When I right-click a report, and go to “Database Configuration,” which connection options should I use for the report? Iu2019ve tried both “Use original database logon information from the report,” and “Use custom database logon information specified here” (using the ODBC option from the drop-down menu). Either way, if I enter in the database, username, password, and then try to run the report (“Run Now”), I get this message in the History: “Failed - Information is needed before this report can be processed.”
Is there another place I could get a more helpful error message? Or is there, perhaps, another way I could test database connectivity from within CMC? I wish there were at least a “Test Database Connection” optionu2026 :P
Thanks so much for your help!

Reports Server, 9iAS R2, Redhat 7.3

Hello,
My installation of 9iAS R2 proceeded fine after I installed the openmotif21 compatibilty rpm, but post installation I am still unable to start the reports server successfully.
When I run the command 'rwserver.sh server=rep_oradev' the server dialog box comes up with the message server starting up, but it never does. There is no error message or log entry either?
IF I edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/rep_oradev.conf so it only has the entry for the 'URLEngine', it will successfully start this server by itself, however it fails when I put the old entry for 'Engine' back in.
Has anyone successfully got the reports server running on RH7.3 and if so did they need to do anything in particular.
Regards,
James Ousby

Here's a note from our Sotware developers -
"SPS 2.1 (just started beta) will be officially supported on rh 7.3"
This was posted last June, so if you have the 2.1 release of the SPS then you should be OK.

Oracle 9Ias installation on Linux 9.0

Hi,
I am not able to install Oracle 9IAS on Linux 9.0, either it gives linking error like ins_oemagent.mk file also, while creating the database end-of-communication channel error.

Thanks a lot for looking in to this.
I am starting the reports server using the rwserver.sh file which calls the reports.sh before starting the server. Reports.sh sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, hence I donot think that is the issue.
As I said earlier, the rwEng engine is the culprit. It does not start up.
In the server trace, I get the state of the rwEng-0 to be Initial and that's it nothing after that about the rwEng engine.
In rweng trace, I see that it is able to init the orb, load librw90.so and start the cinitengine.
After that it I believe it should register the rwEng engine, which it doesnot no errors to this effect however.
As the rwEng has not started completely , the server is always in a starting up state (initializing), and any connect results in 50001.
Also, to ensure that there are no configuration issues, I loaded iDS 9.0.2 on linux. The reports server from the iDS starts without any hassles with the same conf file as of 9iAS.
Hence I am stuck where to look for problems.
Please help.
Thnx.

need immediate solution.

You haven't set up your prerequisites such as
pdksh version
binutils version
do the commands rpm -qa | grep pdksh
and rpm -qa | grep binutils
to see which versions you have installed (if any)
You need to set up Environment ulimit and kernel parameters
its in the documentation but to summarise:
to set the ulimits for the oracle user.
Type cd /etc/security
Type vi limits.conf
Add the following lines to the file.
@oracle<tab><tab>hard<tab>nofile<tab><tab>65535
@oracle<tab><tab>hard<tab>nproc<tab><tab>16384
@dba<tab><tab>hard<tab>nofile<tab><tab>65535
@dba<tab><tab>hard<tab>nproc<tab><tab>16384
Save the file.
Note: <tab> means press the tab key.
Check that this has worked by typing
su â oracle
ulimit â aH
You should see something like this
core file size (blocks) unlimited
data seg size (kbytes) unlimited
file size (blocks) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes) unlimited
open files 65535
pipe size (512 bytes) 8
stack size (kbytes) unlimited
cpu time (seconds) unlimited
max user processes 16384
virtual memory (kbytes) unlimited
Press CTRL-D to get back to the root shell.
You now need to set the kernel parameters.
Type cd /etc
Type vi sysctl.conf
Add the following lines to the file
# Oracle additions
kernel.sem = 100 32000 100 100
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 100
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
fs.file-max = 65536
Save the file
Reboot the system to bring in the changes.
Logon as root and do the following:
Type cd /etc
Type vi services
Remove the following 4 lines
ldap 389/tcp
ldap 389/udp
ldaps 636/tcp # LDAP over SSL
ldaps 636/udp # LDAP over SSL
Save the file.
Type cd /bin
Type ln âs /sbin/fuser fuser
All these must be set up before you install oracle 9ias on Linux otherwise you will get the problems you describe :-)

9IAS Installation Failed giving errors.

I tried to install 9IAS Enterprise Edition(Release : 1.0.2.2.2a) from CD(three)
but all the times getting error as:
"Error while installing Report Server part tutil60.ins(33):File not found while

and after ignoring this error in the last part of installation in Configuration

I just want to make use of Oracle Report Server Services from this 9IAS.So is
it necessary to install full 9IAS Enterprise Edition.
If only Report server services is to be installed then
A)what all services are required along with report server like for example
WebDB Listener and all?
B)Where should I place my Reports RDF files on this server?
C)What URL I have to pass to call the report from web/browser? like previously
for Report server 6i, I am passing the following URL:
http://fap02.:7778/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=Rep60_FAP02&report=test.rdf&useri
d=scott/tiger@test&destype=cache&desformat=HTML

Did you have the Photoshop Beta installed? If yes, then you need to uninstall that one before you can install the trial.
Does your account have sufficient privileges? If not, you might need to log in as Admin.
Run the install again.
If the error recurs, then run CS Cleaner Tool and remove all products.
Reinstalling after that, should resolve the problem. Get the Cleaner tool here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Let us know how it goes.

9i Report Server on Redhat 7.3 run it show error

I installed 9i report on linux,and start report server,but when i request report from browser, but it show rep-3000 , and I retry it ,it show rep-56048, Who can run it to success on redhat 7.3 and help me solve it ?
Thanks

I think that this is an x-windows library that you are missing.
You need to get and install the x-windows rpm and that will have
the file. Have a look for the file name using google and I'm
sure you'll find the name of the package.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 Installation Error

Good day,
My name is Dominic Hung and I work at Business Objects. One of my clients is coming across an installation error on their evaluation of CRS 2008 and is detailed as follows:
They currently have the actual report writer (Crystal Reports 2008) on a desktop PC. It's not installed on the server.
We have the MySQL ODBC loaded on the local desktop as well as the server that is hosting CR2008 Server.
The credentials (userid/password) used in both the desktop and server's ODBC configuration is READ ONLY.
During the installation wizard for CR2008 Server, I key in the userid & password that I use when we create reports, but I receive an error stating that
CMS database error: STU000226
BusinessObjects Enterprise CMS: Unable to connect to the CMS system database "esc:10.127.214.22:3306". Reason: Database access error. Reason access denied for user 'jdcherry'@'% to database 'esc'
This is where everything stops and they can't go further. They are not sure why they are receiving the "access denied" error as shown above. They have no problem connecting to the MySQL database when they create a report using CR2008, the CR2008 SERVER won't accept my credentials during the installation.
QUESTIONS:
The "jdcherry" UserID (which I use) is READ ONLY on the MySQL database that's hosted on the Linux box. Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
If so, what level of access is required?
Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
What other workarounds can be done for the client? The windows server they have Crystal Reports Server 2008 installed on has web services enabled but are continuing to come across issues. Any insight for the client would be greatly appreciated.

Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
The userID used when installing CRS must have dba previleges (create/drop tables) on the schema.
Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
You should create a new schema/DSN for the CMS db. The installation of CRS creates 8 new tables.
Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
No
All this information is in the BOE XI3.0 Installation Guide.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 Trial Installation Problem

I recently downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and ran into a problem with the installation key code sent to me. During the install, I enter the keycode and the install application says it is invalid. I'm attempting to install the Linux version on Red Hat Enterprise 5.2. I know that this is technically not a supported version of Linux but I would not expect that cause a problem with the key code.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?
Thanks...

Hi Jeff,
I would suggest you to install Crystal reports on supported platform only.
To narrow down the issue you can try to install on other machine with supported environment so that it would be clear that the issue is with Keycode or not.

Shweta
