After 11g upgrade "REP - 501: Unable to connect...."

Hi All,
There is a problem in one of our application which is deployed on 10g AS(10.1.2.0). The database it was connecting was upgraded to 11.2.0.3 from 10gR2.
A report is not getting executed from a form. But from web browser the report is working in standalone. Below i have checked so far.
Error I am getting:
REP - 501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
1. Disabled case sensitive login in the 11g database.
2.Used FORMS_USERNAME_CASESENSITIVE = 1 in ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/default.env.
3.Checked for zrclient.jar and rwrun.jar in classpath env variable.
4.Changed Service_name to sid in the tns connect string.
5.Restarted the whole opmn stack.
6.Run the form in debug mode and find the username,password and connect string it is throwing to report is OK. I can connect through sqlplus.
No error in forms server log in opmn or in report server.
Please help.
Now where to look at?
Regards,
Gourab

Hi,
Try few things,
1) try tnsping <sid name>, specified in tnsnames.ora file from Oracle Application Server
2) try running the report through the below url
http://ipaddress:port/reports/rwservlet?report=report.rdf&userid=username/password@database&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&
paramform=yes
3)Trace the form and try running the report (u can google how to trace a form in 10gAS),errors would be mentioned in the trace file.The trace file will be generated in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/trace
http://ipaddress:port/forms/frmservlet?config=(name_specified_in_formsweb.cfg)&record=forms
Regards
FabianThanks for your reply.
1. tnsping is ok.
2. reports is working in this way. Problem was when calling from forms.
3. did not tried the trace. Before that the root cause of the problem was found.
Well you may say this is a mistake from my side. The URL that was being generated by the form was with wrong report server name. The application has the capability to fetch the report server name from the server and store in a db table. From that table the report server name is read and URL is made. Don't know why, some developer wrote the report server name in the form instead of fetching it from the db. So there was a mismatch of the report server name and it was not running. All I was having access was screenshot of the error and the logs. So I missed out the URL.

Terminated with error: br REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified

Hi,
My report server can function nicely, always I can retrieve my report but I am also constantly facing the error when running report after a few minutes having my report servers on function.
Terminated with error: <br>REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
I have 2 oracle home in my server, 1 is 9i (used for ODBC to connect to my database) and 1 more is 10g where my application server is.
My both my TNS files have all the entries of the database server. In fact, we gets reports perfectly OK without problem until a certain time when the error pops up.
Pls help

I did not check the timeout because all reports were generated within seconds.

REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database in Report Server

I Get a 'REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database' error, when trying to call a report from a button on a Forms 10g application, through a report object:
A portion of the code button:
report_id := find_report_object('REPORT');
set_report_object_property(report_id, report_destype, cache);
set_report_object_property(report_id, report_desformat, 'PDF');
set_report_object_property(report_id, report_server, p_server);
set_report_object_property(report_id, report_filename, 'report.rep');
report_job_id := run_report_object(report_id, lista_p);
rep_status := report_object_status(report_job_id);
job_number := length(servidor_rep) + 2;
WHILE rep_status IN ('RUNNING', 'OPENING_REPORT', 'ENQUEUED') LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(report_job_id);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
web.show_document('http://'||server_name||'/reports/rwservlet/getjobid' ||

This application does not fail in other databases, only in which I have the problem.
The connection to the database through the SQLPLUS and other applications works well. The error is presented only when calling reports from the application.
Another point is that the problem is presented with some users and not with others even they have the same conditions as roles, profiles, grant objects, etc.
If i run my report with the following url applying directly on address bar of web browser then it run fine on web browser
http://hostname.domain:port/reports/rwservlet?report=myreport.jsp&userid=un/pw@db&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
OAS 10g and Database are on different machines.
Please... any idea about this problem?
Thanks!!

I use a report object, imagine that sends connect information when creating the Job in the reports server.
However the same problem happens if I call to report from the Internet Explorer with all parameters of connectivity, for example;
http://hostname.domain:port/reports/rwservlet?report=myreport.rep&userid=un/pwdb@&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
The only difference in this database is that it is configured in a RAC and as I mentioned the problem occurs with some users and not with others, even if they are identical.
Thank for your help!

hi bsubbu
your password of custom application user schema at database level should be similar with the password at application level
for instance your custom application schema name and password is xxgis/xxgis , we register this schema at application site by this navigation
security> oracle > register >database username (xxgis) > password (xxgis)
here you might have change your custom application user's password at database level using
alter user xxgis identified by newpassword;
change this user password at application site also :
security> oracle > register> database username (xxgis) > password (newpassword)
i understand this from the document

After upgrading to ios7 unable to connect iCloud server!!

After upgrading to ios7 unable to connect iCloud server!!

The same thing is happening here with my 16 GB wifi only iPad 2, and this is my first update in perhaps a year. The IOS7 update makes it to "Updating iCloud settings..." and goes no further. After a while the install fails (I guess) and I have to start over. Always ends the same way, black screen, nothing happening. Start over, same result. BTW I DO NOT USE iCLOUD ANYWAY
Apple please help!

Start iTunes on the computer you normally sync with and connect your phone.

After the upgrade I am unable to long into my wifi.

I just upgraded my ipad and I added the security code to log in. but I was only given one opportunity to log into my home wifi. I messed up the login and now I am not able to log into it at all.

I've powered off my ipad and tired to connect to my modem but I get the message that "unable to join network" It use to ask me for the password but no longer gives me this option.

DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CHECK_PRIVILEGE' must be declared after 11g upgrade

Hi,
I just uograded my dev database to from 10.2.0.4 to 11.1.0.7.2. During the testing phase of the upgrade, I had come up wiht scripts to execute after the upgrade to 11g so that my utl_smtp packages will run. But now, after upgrading to 11g, when I run these scripts, I get the below error -
ORA-06550: line 4, column 33:
PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
ORA-06550: line 6, column 4:
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CHECK_PRIVILEGE' must be declared
During the testing phase, I installed 11g instance and created an 11g database and then imported the 10g objects into the 11g database so as to test the application. Now, I think what happened is when I upgraded my 10g database to 11g using DBUA, it did not install APEX. I ytried to configure APEX by following instructions from this site - http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/install/apexinst/apexinst.htm and this gives me error the error -
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT' must be declared
How do I install apex?Can someone please guide me this?
Thanks

Hi, Ogan, I got this resolved.
After the upgrade by using DBUA, I tried to execute scripts to configure ACLs since my database has dependent objects. That's when I got error saying that dbms_network_acl_admin was not found.
when I queried DBA_registry , it didn't list XDB as one of the components. So, I understood this didn't get installed during the upgrade with DBUA. So, I installed XDB manually by running catqm.sql. This however created a lot of invalid objetcs which wouldnt get validated after tryign to recompile them with utlrp.sql. Most of the errors were looping chain of synonyms. Finally, I de-installed it and re-installed xdb and ran utlrp.sql to validate all the invalid objects. Now, everything is fine.
I guess xdb doesn't get installed during the dbua upgrade and maybe it needs to be installed seperately. But, that's kind of confusing because xdb is supposed to be a mandatory component in 11g. Can someone please clarify this?

After 11g upgrade "REP - 501: Unable to connect...."
