Take a look at data templates. You can use the "BeforeReportTrigger" option using a PL/Sql function to accomplish this. Look at the Report Designers guide for information about datatemplates.

Determine used desktop intelligence report server

We are using a clustered environment with 2 desktop intelligence report servers (bo xi release 2).
Is it possible to know what report server is used for viewing or refreshing a deski report with the enterprise or reportengine sdk?

Hi,
The idle connection time out: Specifies the amount of time, in minutes, that the server waits for requests from an idle connection. Setting a value too low can cause a user's request to be closed prematurely. Setting a value too high can cause system resources to be consumed for longer than necessary.
so its fine its not necessary that both should be the same time. But by default both of them are 20 min.
Thanks,

Java Error while executing the excel template in the BIP 10g report server

Hello Gurus,
While we are executing the excel template we are getting the following java error and the report cannot be rendered to user who triggers the report. Where as the same excel template is generating output when user run it against the same data locally.
"oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: [ID:652] Document file to deliver not found : C:\Oracle\bipublisher\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\xdo\tmp\xmlp3307tmp

We have tried with designing the .rtf template for this report and we are able to generate the report form the server. Please let us know the cause for this error in the server and way to rectify the exception from the report server.
Thanks,
Kamath.

"oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: [ID:652] Document file to deliver not found : C:\Oracle\bipublisher\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\xdo\tmp\xmlp3307tmp
imho it's about empty result file
Data are there
may be yes but is some data from all for report itself ?
in other words data can be in output ( in xml ) but report can filters data and so report doesn't have appropriate data to representation ( it's assumption for error )
Data are there, when we are using rtf template, it is generating the output.
if you sure about data for report and on this data report works fine by bip desktop, so no ideas, only SR
btw you can first check my assumption and try to catch "no data found" in template
also you can check data itself, is it well-formed xml

The Report Server page comes up on local server, but the page does not open from clients

Hello,
The Report Server Page opens up just fine on the local server, but page does not open up from desktops and client PCs. SSRS is installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server and with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2
Clients are using IE 11 and they see:
Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to tumdv-fsql01
How can make this site accessible from clients?
Thanks
Paul

That did not work.
What port numbers specifically does SSRS use? I will check the firewall.
http://100.100.100.100/CengeaReports/Pages/Folder.aspx
When I add the IP Address and try the link again, IE says "This page can not be displayed". When I try the Fix connection problems, IE says:
"The website is online, but it is not responding to connection attempts."

Report Server service problem

Hi all champions.
I have installed 9iAs R1 on windows 2k.My form server is running well, but there is a problem with Report server and its service is not ruuning (error 186).
What could be the tns entry for folders 806 and iSuites?
Early reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you have the repository connection configured? This is in the 806_home\report60\server\server_name.ora file with repositoryconn= setting.
If you do, make sure you can connect to that database with the user name/password you have configured. Connect from 806_home\bin\sqlplus to check this.
Are you on the latest patch?
Did you configure the service to not interact with the desktop? If not, you should change it to not interact.

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

Error when running a report in Crystal Reports Server 2008

Received the following error message:
Error in File Relatorio4: Failed to load database information.
Or
Error
Failed to open the connection. Relatorio4 Details: [Database Vendor Code:
12154 ]
I'm trying to run a report Crystal Reports 2008 in Crystal Reports Server 2008.
I use the native driver for Oracle (Oracle Server).
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Vilari,
Do a small test to test your connection.
-Right Click on desktop ->
Create new text document->
Save as test.UDL->
double click and test connection by selecting driver name,datasource name,user id and password.
Click on Test Connection.
It should be succeed.
Database Vendor Code is the error returned by the database client/server.Its not a Crystal Report Error.Check Microsoft's web site for more info on what that error means.
Likely the client has not been in stalled or configured or both.
Also check that proper DSN is configured or not.
As you are using Oracle make sure that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper place and accessible. See the operating system specific manual for details on the required name and location.
Check to see that the service name exists in one of the TNSNAMES.ORA files and add it if necessary.
Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the file. Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Shweta

Crystal Reports Server XI error in Infoview

We have an old Windows 2000 server that was running Crystal Reports Server XI (not R2) and we recently reinstalled it on a Windows 2003 server and imported all the reports. All scheduled reports work find however in Infoview if we click View Latest Instance I get the following error:
"An error has occurred: File or assembly name CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.Word, or one of its dependencies, was not found."
In the Application Event log on the server I get the following 3 errors at the same time.
"Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005"

Report server in BI Publisher.

Hi,
I am using BI Publisher ,and i am trying to make a report on word and then click BI publisher from menu bar bar but i am getting REPORT SERVER
what i Have to write there ??
Thanks in advance
Ahmed,

The report server refers to the Enterprise Server http path, for example - http://servername:9704/xmlpserver
In case you have just installed the BI Publisher Desktop and want to try to design a RTF template and test against XML data, then you do not need to logon. In that case either from the drop down menu 'Oracle BI Publisher' or from the word toolbar, try to load the XML data and start designing. You can preview a report in between in HTML, RTF, PDF, PowerPoint and Excel formats.
If you want to try the login to Report Server, the please make sure to install BI Publisher Enterprise installation and start the server.

Crystal Reports Server Error - Unable to cast object of type

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this question but couldn't find a Crystal Reports Server section.
After doing a windows update on my crystal reports server the following error now occurs when trying to log into .Net InfoView -
An error has occurred: Unable to cast object of type 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoObject' to type 'BusinessObjects.Enterprise.Desktop.InfoView'.
I found the following article which I followed and re-installed the .net components as well as ensured all services are enabled.

I'd try creating a new Application Pool just for running businessobjects and crystalreportviewers11 and nothing else.
Although the apps are .NET, it uses COM Interop for functionality, so using a common app pool with other versions will collide.
Beyond that - if you have a SAP Business Objects support contract - you might open a new SAP Incident ticket.

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.
