Report server cann't work

operation system:AIX 5.3
IBM computer
Application server 10.1.2.0.2
When user call report from form by RUN_REPORT_OBJECT procedure,most time work done,Today suddenly cann't run report,raise error
REP-300: OCI_INVALID_HANDLE. ==> SELECT ,then raise error REP-501 Unable to connect to the specified database,but form is ok,only call report from form is not running;
I restart report server, then report can work.I don't find the reason of report's error.
Why the report's server don't work?
How can I deal with the matter?
Thanks in advance!

thank u!

Report instance cann't run

PlatForm :IBM630
Operation System: AIX 5L
IAS version :10.1.2.0.2
Language :SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK
opmnctl startall, report instance cann't run,and the report instance will restart every several minutes,then the form instance will restart following the report instance.
When ias installed in window system,all instances will work,
the same verison ias installed in AIX 5L,then the report install cann't work,why?
Do it need some special config?
The report instance work at same config at some time,one week later report called from form is not done,throw a error rep-300,
but the test.rdf can run in internet explorer address with "http://report_servername:7778/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&userid=username/psw@db",
that is say the report instance can work.
How can I solve the problem?
Thanks for any help!

Reports 6i without report server, can I run schedule report job ?

I use Reports 6i, no Report Server, can I run schedule job to print reports in the midnight?....In server side is better, but if in client side will be ok...
Thanks

Yes, you can run a schedule job to print reports at a scheduled time. Below is how (done in command prompt):
h:\>at /?
The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at
a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use
the AT command.
AT [\\computername] [ [id] [DELETE] | /DELETE [YES]]
AT [\\computername] time [INTERACTIVE]
    [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"
\\computername     Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the
                   local computer if this parameter is omitted.
id                 Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled
                   command.
/delete            Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the
                   scheduled commands on the computer are canceled.
/yes               Used with cancel all jobs command when no further
                   confirmation is desired.
time               Specifies the time when command is to run.
/interactive       Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user
                   who is logged on at the time the job runs.
/every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or
                   month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month
                   is assumed.
/next:date[,...]   Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the
                   day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, the
                   current day of the month is assumed.
"command"          Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.
h:\>for "command" - you may want to consider writing a batch program to call your report.
Hope this helps.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Cant run Oracle Reports

Hey All
I have setup Crystal Reports Server 2008 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2. Oracle 9 is currenlty installed on the server and the TNSNAMES.ORA file has been configured so that it points to the correct server. The ODBC connection has been setup on the Server, I have tested the connection on the server and it works fine.
CMC is running fine, we currenlty can get SQL reports to work in it no problem. However I cannot get a Crystal Report created in Crystal Reports 2008, that is connecting to an ORACLE database to work.
When I add the report to the server, and try to view it on run it, I get the following error:
"Error in File ~tmp1d6c5ecca060440.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters"
I have tried playing around with the Database Configuration in CMC I get the same issue. I have also checked all the Servers in CMC and they are Enabled and running.
I dont know what else to do? Is there something that I am missing?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Ok Guys, I figured out the issue.
I tried running the query sqlplus myuser/mypassword@mydb in CMD. Where myuser=USERNAME mypassword=PASSWORD and MYDB=Database Server.
It was giving me an error, SQLPLUS not recognised.
Oracle 9 was installed. I checked and Oracle 9 does not have SQL PLus. So I installed Oracle 10.
I then added the TNSNAMES.ora file in the right location where I installed it.
Re configured the ODBC connections with the new driver, tested and worked fine
I then tried running the sqlplus myuser/mypassword@mydb in CMD - it worked and connected fine.
I then rebooted the server - logged back in. I then logged back into the CMC, and ran a Crystal report connecting to an ORACLE database and it worked!
Hope this helps anyone else out having a similar issue.

How to access SQL server in oracle running in aix unix?

Hi all,
I have oracle database running in IBM AIX OS, and I need to query data in
SQL SERVER 2000.
How to do that?
Is there free Sqlserver ODBC drivers for unix?
Thanks

Hi,
I prefer heterogenous services over ODBC for this!
I have my notes here, which may help.
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_heterogeneous_database_connections_sql_server.htm
1. Install Oracle ODBC drivers on the server (your local Oracle database) that will access the remote SQL Server database using the database link.
2. Setup the ODBC connection on the local Oracle database using the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator
3. Test the ODBC drivers to ensure that connectivity is made to the SQL Server database.
4. Ensure that your global_names parameter is set to False.
5. Configure the Oracle Heterogeneous services by creating an initodbc.ora file within the Oracle database.
7. Modify the Listener.ora file.
SID_NAME is the DSN for the remote database.
ORACLE_HOME is the actual Oracle home file path.
PROGRAM tells Oracle to use heterogeneous services.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=Cas30C) -- Enter the DSN on this line
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle10gdb) -- Enter your Oracle home on this line
(PROGRAM = hsodbc) ) )
8. Modify the Tnsnames.ora file. This is the Oracle database installation accessed by the users to connect to the ODBC drivers
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(Address=(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=
-- (Server x)
(PORT=1521))) -- Enter the port on which the server x Oracle installation
-- is listening
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=Cas30c)) - Enter the DSN name
(HS=OK) -- Enter this value. It tells Oracle to use hetergeneous services
9. Reload the listener on local Oracle database
10. Create a database link on the local Oracle installation that accesses the heterogeneous connection, which, in turn, connect to SQL Server.
11. Run a SQL Server Select statement from the Oracle installation using the database link.
Hope this helps. . .

Crystal Reports Server XI R2 - RAS service will not start

We had a copy of Crystal Reports Server XI R2 running on a Windows 2003 SBS Server and the database running on SQL Server 2000 on the same box. We were forced to upgrade this server Windows 2003 SBS Server 2003 R2 with SQL Server 2005. The upgrade worked fine however after the upgrade we could no longer open reports in infoview.
We soon realised that the RAS(Report Application Server) service was stopped however we could not start it.
We tried doing a full uninstall(deleting the directory and registry info) and reinstall several times on the same server pointing to the existing database and trying to create a new database in both MYSql and SQL Server but again the same problem. While our licensing agreement means we can only install it on one server we tried on another and again we had the same issue.
We see several errors in the event viewer of the server, these are:
-Unable to create the Corba OSCA factory and register it on the eBus (Source:BusinessObjects_crystalras)
-Failed to register with the CMS 'Server Name'. Please make sure the CMS is up and running. Attempting an automatic retry. (Source: We see this error show on a fair few of the service after stopping and firing up services, but they seem to disappear)
-An error occurred while creating a Page Server subprocess.(Source: BusinessObjects_pageserver)
If I try firing the crystalras executable just for interest sakes I get a "No valid license found for this product" error.
We thought it may have been a license issue caused by the upgrade but have been told that the license key still appears to be valid.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey did anyone ever answer your question, I have exactly the same problem 4 years later, sigh

Report Server 6i and Portal 3.0

I read through several white papers including "Security Tips in Oracle Reports Services Release 6i with Oracle Portal Release 3.0" and tried to start Reports server with no success but maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works. So I have the following questions:
1. We are running reports server on the same server as Oracle Portal and do not have any printers assign to this W2K server which is outside our fire wall. Will Reports server start with no printers assigned? I read out on metal link in Note: 109399.1 "It is no longer necessary to have the reports server service running on an account having a printer installed."
2. We only have port 80 open for the apache web listener. However the tnsnames.ora file requires an entry for the report server with a port=1949. Does this port need to be open?
3. Do you know how I can check to see which ports are available on W2K? Which are being used? IS there a dos command?
4. Is Report Server required to run Oracle Reports 6i through Portal 3.0 with SSO?
null

Gregg,
1 - There is still a bug pending on this, so you may need to assign a default printer. This may be your issue of why you are unable to get the reports server running.
2 - No, port 1949 is only used between the reports cgi/servlet and the reports server. The communication between the client and the reports cgi/servlet is done on the http you are using (in your case, port 80).
3 - Don't know of any such utility or dos command to find our which ports are in use or available.
4 - Yes, you must have the reports server running to run Oracle Reports 6i through Portal 3.0. 6i is not using sso.

Reports 6i and Report Server 9iDS

Hello there,
I have two questions:
1- Does Report Server in 9iDS runs reports faster then running reports in Reports 6i (without Report Server).
2- Can I use Report Server 9iDS in Reports 6i on same Machine?
If yes then How?
Thanking you all in advance.
Regards ,
Usman

I think i made mistake in representing my question no 2.
I want to know can i use Reports which are compiled in 6i with using forms 6i and can run reports with 9i Report server.
Many thanks.

V. References
I. Brief summary on the architecture of Reports Server, CGI and Reports Servlet
=================================================================================
In order to understand the causes of the error "Unable to communicate with the
Reports Server", let's first briefly review the Reports Runtime Engines, Reports
Server, the Reports CGI, and Reports Servlet architecture.
There are 4 important layers in Reports Server architecture which should be
understood in order to clearly understand the error "Unable to communicate with
the Reports Server" :
1) The Runtime Engines : This is the main layer where the reports are actually
executed. On unix systems there are "rwrun60" and on NT systems there are
"rwrun60.exe" processes.
2) The Reports Server : The Reports Server recieves the job request and queues
it. When one of its runtime engines becomes available, it sends the
command line to that runtime engine for execution. On Unix systems it is
the "rwmts60" executable and on NT systems it is "rwmts60.exe".
3) The Reports CGI : The Reports Web CGI passes the request to the Reports Server.
The Reports CGI or Servlet converts the request to a command line that can be executed by the Reports Server and
submits it to the specified Reports Server. On Unix platforms this executable
is "rwcgi60" and on NTs it is "rwcgi60.exe.
4) The Reports Servlet : Its functionality and function is just the same as "Reports CGI", but it is
a program written in Java as difference to the CGI program (which is
written in C programming language).
The Reports Server may be running on the same server with the CGI program (or
servlet) OR may reside totally on another machine which does not necessarily have
the same Operating System. For instance CGI may reside in a Windows NT machine
while the Reports server may reside on a Unix box, or any other combination with
Unix-Linux-NT-2000, etc.
The reports are called with a URL similar to below with the CGI :
http://fully.qualified.server.name:PORT/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=<REPSERVER>&other_parameters=...........
where fully.qualified.server.name is the name of the server where the Reports CGI
reside, and <REPSERVER> is the name of the server.
II. Sources of errors encountered when running a report with Reports Server
============================================================================
The Reports Web CGI (or the Reports Servlet) makes a call to the Reports Server
and asks it to place the output into some destination (defined by DESTYPE and
DESNAME parameters), then gives back the necessary response to the calling
program. For example if the DESTYPE is "cache", then the Reports server generates
the report to a file in a temporary place and gives it back to CGI and the CGI gives
it back to the calling program. Otherwise, if the DESTYPE is "file", the Reports Server
generates the report output to the requested file and the CGI replies back the
following message : "Report output was successfully written to requested
destination.".
If there is any error in this process, the related error message is returned. The
possible sources of errors can be categorized as follows :
1) The errors that are returned from Reports Server; like the Reports Server can
not find the requested RDF file or the report may be run to file and the
directory where the reports output is asked to be placed does not occur or
similar errors. (Usually the REP-XXXX errors)
2) Another possible cause of error is the errors returned by the RDBMS to the
Reports Server, for example a table not found error or things like that. Of
course from the CGI point of view these errors are again transmitted from the
Reports Server but in fact the error originates from the RDBMS. (Usually the
ORA-XXXX errors)
3) Another possible cause of errors is the CGI itself, for example when the CGI
executable can not connect to the requested Reports Server, then we get the
famous "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server". In this document we will
diagnose the common reasons of this last error.
III. How the CGI (or the Reports Servlet) communicates with the Reports Server
===============================================================================
Having said that "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Unable to communicate with the
Reports Server." error is returned back from the CGI itself, let's discuss the
issue of how the Reports CGI connect to the Reports Server. The name of the
Reports Server given in the URL with "server=....." parameter is, in fact, just
a special tnsnames alias, similar to aliases for database connect strings. As it is
important for the CGI to resolve the alias, the CGI needs to know the HOST name (or the
IP) of the machine where the Reports Server is running and the port on which the
Reports Server is listening. So a typical Reports Server alias is defined as follows :
REP60_<MACHINE>=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = <MACHINE>)(PORT = <PORT>))
This is defined in tnsnames.ora file, and the sqlnet.ora file is also used in
the name resolving operation.
IV. Possible reasons which lead to "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error.
==========================================================================================
The possible reasons for the "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error :
1) Reports Server is up and running :
Make sure that the Reports Server is really running on the specified server
and listening on the specified port. For details have a look at above
explanations for tnsnames alias of the reports server. And because of this the
CGI could not establish a connection to the Reports Server.
2) tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora problems :
As described above, the CGI resolves the details for the reports server using
the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora" files. There may be a problem with them,
here are the possible configuration problems :
a) There is no alias in the tnsnames.ora file for this Reports Server
b) The CGI looks into the wrong directory for the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora"
files. By default the CGI checks the $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory for
these scripts, where the $ORACLE_HOME is the home of the Forms & Reports
installation. Please note that in a typical 9iAS 1.0.X installation there
are two ORACLE_HOME's, one is for the iAS and the other is for the tools,
usually the home for the tools is a directory with name "806" on NT and
"6iserver" on unix systems. By defining TNS_ADMIN in the environment, one
can override the search path for these two files.
The TNS_ADMIN variable can be defined in one of the following places :
i) In the environment : On MS Windows platforms check the "Settings
--> Control Panel --> System". On NTs check the environment TAB and in
Win2K systems check the "Environment Variables" button on Advanced tab.
ii) In "6iserver.conf" file. Details are as follows : The main configuration
file for Apache server is "httpd.conf" file which resides in
$IAS_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory. In this file there is a line to
include "oracle_apache.conf" and in this "oracle_apache.conf" file
there is a line to include "$ORACLE_HOME/conf/6iserver.conf" file. And
in this file the TNS_ADMIN variable could be defined as follows :
SetEnvIf Request_URI "rwcgi60" TNS_ADMIN=c:\orant\network\ADMIN
Please note that by defining it this way, the TNS_ADMIN will only be defined
for "rwcgi60" calls, so the other parts of the 9iAS will not be affected by
this setting.
c) In sqlnet.ora the "names.default_domain" is set but in tnsnames.ora the
domain is not defined in the alias description. For example if the
"names.default_domain=world" is present and active in "sqlnet.ora" file
then in the "tnsnames.ora" the alias of the reports server should also have
the ".world" extension appended at the end. And another cause is of course
the vice versa for this. If there is no "names.default_domain" is defined
in the "sqlnet.ora" then the alias in "tnsnames.ora" should not have the
domain extension.
Another important point that should be checked is, if TNS_ADMIN is defined
as described above then the search path is as follows, first the directory
defined by TNS_ADMIN is searched, if the "tnsnames.ora" file is not found in
this directory then $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin is checked. (And on unix systems
/var/opt/oracle is also checked). These directories are only checked if the file
is not present, so if the "tnsnames.ora" file is present in TNS_ADMIN directory
but the alias is not present, then the other directories are not checked at all.
Let us assume that the tnsnames.ora file is present in the TNS_ADMIN directory but
there is no "sqlnet.ora" files here, then the sqlnet.ora file is checked in
$ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory, which could cause the same problem if the
"names.default_domain" is defined in this file.
All the above will result in, CGI to unable to resolve the alias in tnsnames.ora
file so it will not be able to establish a connection to the Reports Server.
3) Wrong "ORACLE_HOME" setting :
Wrong ORACLE_HOME setting. This is usually the case for Reports Servlet,
because the environment settings are defined in "jserv.properties" file for the
servlets and the setting here will effect both the Reports Servlet and the
setting for Oracle JSP and other servlets. So the other servlets or Oracle JSP
may need to set ORACLE_HOME to home of HTTP server while the reports server needs
it to be set to the TOOLS_HOME directory. In this case the best alternative is
not to set ORACLE_HOME in this directory and leave it to registry or defined the
ORACLE_HOME in "6iserver.conf" file just like the TNS_ADMIN defined above. For
details please have a look at the following document :
Note 179609.1 "Getting an error Unable to communicate with the Reports Server
using RWSERVLET"
4) Effect of parameter "maxconnect" :
Another common case for this error is that the CGI request reaches the Reports Server but
the Reports Server refuses connection. The main cause for this case is, that the Reports Server
configuration parameter "maxconnect" is defined too low, there are long running reports on the
server or the server is too busy at that time. Usually a second try some
later time results in a successful connection. If this is the case, the end user
may think that the problem is occasional. For details on this case please
have a look at the following document :
Note 125265.1 "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server"
5) Passing very large parameters to reports server :
Another known reason for this error is, if you are passing large parameters
to the Reports Server which exceeds sqlnet transmission blocks then the request may
end up with this error. To test it try with small parameter values. If you hit
this case, the solution is to increase the SDU (Session data unit size) and the TDU
(Transport unit data size) parameters in tnsnames.ora file, for details please
have a look at the following document :
Note 197358.1 "Passing large parameters to Reports show up a Reports Server
error"
6) A case specific to OAS 4.0.8.2 :
If you are using OAS instead of iAS, and the error appeared after
upgrading to 4.0.8.2 then this is caused because the 4.0.8.2 is using RSF
(Required Support Files) version 8.1.6 and the Reports 6i is using 8.0.6 and the
two could not reside in the same ORACLE_HOME directory. So the solution for this
problem is to create a new batch file and use it from which the actual CGI
executable is called. For details please see the following document :
Note 116754.1 "After applying OAS 4.0.8.2 CGI and Cartridge cannot communicate
to report server"
7) A case specific to WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 :
Another known case for this error is with WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 or less.
If you are using these old versions of WEBDB as HTTP listener, please have a
look at the following document :
Note 95426.1 "URL Not Found When Calling Oracle Developer Report from WebDB Site"

On Windows you can create a Report Services:
rwserver -install server=repserverYou have to choose different names for all servers, like your collegue cannot create a server with the same name. You can start/stop this Report server in Services (control panel). Configuration files can be found under $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf

Error calling Report and unable to bind Report Server

Hi,
I use Oracle Database 10g with Oracle Developer 10.1.2, in Windows 2000.
I don't have nor use Oracle Application Server though.
I tried to call a report from a Form, using Run_Report_Object.
But the following error appeared.
Error FRM-41213 Unable to connect to Report Server rep_<computer_name>
I also tried to call a report, using Web.Show_Document.
It launch another web browser, but the following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
Based on the white paper of Oracle Application Server 10g - Integrating Oracle Reports in Oracle Forms Services applications.
I create my own report server using following command
rwserver server=repsrv.
Another java-based windows showed up. It shows that the server 'repsrv' is ready.
I do the following:
1. Navigate to http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet using web browser.
It showed OracleAS Report Services - Servlet Command Help page.
But there is no other window popup (The white paper stated that a 'in process' server
should be invoked when starting a report for the first time).
2. Navigate to http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?userid=PRACTICE/PRTC@MYDB&report=C:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html&paramform=no&p_1=P1&p_1=P2
my schema is PRACTICE, password PRTC and database instance MYDB
the report path = C:\FORM\MODULE1.JSP
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
3. Finally, I tried
http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?server=REPSRV&userid=PRACTICE/PRTC@MYDB&report=C:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html&paramform=no&p_1=P1&p_1=P2
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
I don't understand.
It seems that the Report Service is not recognized although the java-based window state that the Report Server (repsrv) is ready.
My questions:
1. Does it means that my report server is not running?
Or it is running but the web browser didn't recognize it?
I use Internet Explorer 5 and Netscape 7, both of them showed the same error message.
2. The paper said there is supposed to be 2 type of server, 'In process' and custom server.
Both of them will create a configuration file in /reports/conf in DevSuiteHomeDirectory.
I can see the custom report server's configuration file which I create using rwserver
(repsrv.conf)
but I can't see the 'in process' server's configuration file (rep_<computer_name>.conf).
What am I supposed to do?
3. Is there any steps with I supposed to do after the installation?
Well, I didn't find any error during the installation, everything seems to be just fine.
Perhaps, I need to modify some files, specifya report server name,
create the 'in process' server manually.
Many thanks,
Imelda

Hi,
I have already tried your suggestion.
Since I am in Windows 2000 platform, so I do the first suggestion from the documentation.
If the host machine is not in a network (that is, it is a standalone machine).
Solution for Windows platform: Install the MS loopback adapter, as described on the Miscrosoft Web site (http:\\microsoft.support.com). Then, specify an IP address for your machine (either XP or Windows 2000), as follows:
1. On your desktop, right-click My Network Places, and choose Properties.
2. Right-click the MS loopback adapter, and choose Properties.
3. In the Properties dialog box, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties.
4. Select Use the following IP address, and enter a valid IP address. The subnet mask field will automatically populate. Do not use the local host IP (that is, 127.0.0.1). For example, enter: 198.162.1.1.
5. Click OK, and follow the instructions displayed.
There is also solution for UNIX platform.
But I do the Solution for Windows platform only.
But still I've got the following error message :
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
And in the command line of OC4J which I started, the following error appeared :
Not able to load oracle.reports.util.EnvironmentGlobal class
Using oracle.reports.util.Environment class
BTW,
I also tried to use the command lin rwrun :
rwrun report="D:\My Documents\TryReport\module1.jsp" userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname="D:\My Documents\TryReport\module1.pdf"
And somehow a PDF file appeared.
It contains the output of the report I created.
It exactly the same as the preview of the web layout which is run from Report Builder (Run Web Layout CTRL-R).
Could this mean that the In-Process server is running?
Perhaps the browser did not understand how to connect to Report Server?
Is there anything should be done?
Should I also do the Solution for UNIX platform? (Mine is Windows)
And, why for Oracle Form (running as a servlet), everything seems to be normal?
Does the Oracle Form use different server from Oracle Report?
The problem is only when I tried to call report using a button inside Oracle Form.
(Run_Report_Object and Web.Show_Document)
Any light would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

How do I find out what the name of the reports server is?

Hi Everyone,
I am connecting to a remote machine using gotomypc.com and have started up Reports Builder 10g. I know very little about installation of Oracle on this machine. Just enough to log into Oracle 10g and run tools like the Report Builder, TOAD, etc. When I run a report from the Report Builder I get a web browser with a blank report. It works when I run a paper report. I am guessing that the Reports Server is not running or not configured properly.
Can you tell me how to find out what the name of this Reports Server is and/or how to start it up?
Thanks.
Emad

I realize this is old, but... You can find out your servers name by looking at the $ORACLE_HOME\reports\conf\rwservlet.properties file. It has a entry for SERVER. Should also have a corresponding conf file after starting up OC4J and activating the server for developer installs.
Next, you can also run rwdiag. It will show you all report servers available to your installation. This is interesting when Multicast is used by Reports (10g). Ran into issues with servers named the same not on the hardware I was expecting.... ;)
Good luck.

Error While Running Oracle Reports Server(9iAS) on Red Hat Linux6.2

I have installed Oracle9iAS on Redhat Linux6.2 I have successfully started the Reports Server. While running any rdf files I m getting the error message "rwrun60: error in loading shared libraries: libXm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I don't have this libXm.so.2 file in my system. How to get this file?
Pls help me in this regard as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.

You probably need to install Open Motif (2.1.30), which you can download from:
http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif
Be sure to include /usr/X11R6/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH.
You may also need to relink:
make -f ins_reports60.mk install
after you install Open Motif.
Hope this helps.

Detach the contentdb from SP and then reattach it. To do that you'd run this command:
STSADM -o deletecontentdb -url https://******.com -databasename whateverdb
Then to add it back you'd do:
STSADM -o addcontentdb url https://******.com -databasename whateverdb
Thank you Mike Yin, I have confirmed that this solution works, I had the exact issue, my investigation steps are in this order:
1. Verify if there is a orphaned site (use stsadm.exe -o enumsites or stsadm -o enumallwebs or Test-SPContentDatabase
2. On my case I found the site orphaned on the root url [/] so I cannot just do a stsadm -o deletesite -force -siteid, so I did is to Remove Content from the CA and then re-add the content db back using CA. (Application Management > open the affected
Content DB and click the Remove content database checkbox. Then click Add a content Database, and re-add the same contentDB.
3. Verify in the RS Config Manager and click the RS Web Service URL, to see if works.
