Confusion about report Server

Hi all ,
I am complete newbie to Report Server. I have a query regarding the report server . We have installed 11gR2 Report server , on OEL following the standard Oracle Documentation. After completing the installation some online blogs suggest about Setting up A stand alone Report Server , I want to know that what is the purpose of this stand alone report server .
Thanks

See my Friend, Its completely two different things which you must to know first ...
One is Oracle Reports Server will run independently (on most cases) to execute your reports.
The next thing is when you call a report from your forms (which you have designed) you must specify the port ID of the reports server to communicate.
If you are a newbie (as you said) then have a look on the following link to know the basic working and knowledge about Oracle Reports

Crystal Report Server 2008 vs Crystal Report Enterprise

Dear all,
We're planning to publish crystal reports for end users generate themselves. We've installed the crystal report server 2008 in a testing server however I am confused "Crystal report server 2008" vs. "crystal report enterprise". When I look into the administrator guide, it keeps telling me how and what crystal report enterprise can do rather than crystal report server.
Are they the same product but different terminology?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
No, these 2 products are differents: Crystal enterprise is older as Crystal Server 2008, but the 2 applications have the same purposes.
You can find here all the products guides about the Business Objects (and SAP) products:
https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bosap-support-guide
In a sense, I understand that you are getting confused, as the documentation about Crystal enterprise is a great deal bigger as for Crystal Server 2008... For instance, I didn't find an "admin guide" for Crystal Server 2008, but you can find it for Crystal Enterprise!
I suggest you to download the Business enterprise XI 3.0 admin guide, as many of the "server features" in Crystal Server 2008 are based on this platform (portal integration, send reports via emails...)
I doesnt't find an ideal solution, and I fear you have to use a mix of 2 books in order to manage your application: the Crystal Enterprise admin guide and the Business enterprise XI 3.0 admin guide...
Sorry,
Wish you good luck !

How to configure oracle 6i report server run time component with application server

we got oracle 6i report server for developing the web based reports for our undergoing product. we r succesed in developing the web based reports using oracle 6i report server.But we r facing problems while deploying the product with oracle reports at clients place,why because the client does not have the oracle 6i report server. To solve this problem we have to configure the oracle 6i report server run time component with application server at client side , but we are unable to configure this component(that is CGI handler).

You can run multiple instances of Reports Server in 6i.
In tnsnames.ora, for each server, have a different name and each listening to different port.
For example,
server1.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1949))
server2.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1950))
Also, if you want to know about Reports Server Clustering, you may refer to "Publishing Reports" document on OTN:

From report server database how to know reporting services server

from report server database how to know reporting services server
Thanks

Hi Ajay,
If I understand correctly, you want to know
Reporting Services server name based on report server database. Based on my research, I find that the Reporting Services server name is the computer name which install the report server. So we can try to click Start button, right-clicking Computer,
and then clicking Properties. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, you can find your computer name.
Besides, the report server database is a SQL Server database that stores the following content:
Items, Subscription and schedule definitions, Report snapshots and report history, System properties and system-level security settings, Report execution log data, Symmetric keys and encrypted connection and credentials for report data sources.
For more information about report
server database, please refer to the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156016.aspx
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,

SSRS Reporting Server system requirements

Where can I get the system requirements for a SSRS server that is a standalone reporting server. It's going to pull from databases on other servers, so this won't be running any heavy local databases. Could be up to 600 users. Would this just be
the SQL 2008 R2 requirements?

Hi Jlkansascity,
Based on your scenario, the SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services can absolutely meet your requirement. For the Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008 R2, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.105).aspx
However, the report server performance is affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount of data in a report, and output format. For more information about tools and guidelines about report
server performance, please see the
Planning for Scalability and Performance with Reporting Services as Vision2040 posted above.
Hope this helps.

Report server behaviour

Hi,
I'm just wondering about report server engine behaviour.
Since I have multiple clients invoking rwservlet, in batch mode, I assume that for each request I have a report running.
When I request more reports in parallel it seems that reports waits each other.
I have 1 rwEng only.
More Current jobs in parallel (I can see from ShowJobs)
I don't understand why rwEng do not process other reports syncrounsly to each request.
If not, I think it should be something to configure.
Angelo

Hi Austin
1) Open Crystal Reports Developer 11.5.
2) Click on "File >> Open >> Enterprise".
3) Login using Enterprise credentials to the Crystal Enterprise 8 and open the Crystal Report which is to be migrated to the new environment.
4) Refresh the report to verify the database logon credentials and verify all the features in the report are working.
5) Click on File >> Save As and save the report to the Folder under BusinessObjects XI R2.
6) Login to Central Management Console (CMC) using the enterprise account.
7) Navigate to the folder where the report is saved.
8) Provide the Database logon credentials for the report.
9) Change the option at the bottom to "Use same database logon as when report is run".
10) Click on update to save the changes.
11) Click on "Properties" tab.
12) Click on "Preview" button to open the report in Central Management Console (CMC).

A question about VI server

Dear all,
I have some confusion about VI server. Suppose I
have two computers, computer A will be used as a client
and computer B will be used as server. A wants to get
access to a VI (test.vi) on computer B. What
requirements should computer B meet?
1). Run LabVIEW?
2). Run test.vi?
3). Run test.vi by open VI reference?
Does computer B should meet all the requirements?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Dear Mike,
Thanks a lot for your help! I think I understand it
now. Unlike the datasocket which has a separate server
program, for VI server LabVIEW itself works as a
server so it has to be runnig to listen to a port. Am I right?
But I still have doubt that if test.vi has to be loaded
into memory on computer B. If I use property and
method node on computer A, such as FP Open and Run VI,
can I remotely control computer B to load test.vi into memeory
and run it?
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your help!
Best regards,
Tao

Need information about Oracle Forms & Reports server installation

Hello Friends,
First of all I am very new user for oracle forums, So please ignore if I posted wrong place.
We are using Oracle Database 10g and Oracle forms & Reports server 6i version.
We just purchased oracle forms & reports (currently known as a Oracle Fusion middleware) license. As per my knowledge latest version doesn't support Oracle 10g database.
My question is can somebody give me Oracle Database 10g supported Forms & Reports version?
We are planning to upgrade.
Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.

Thanks a lot for prompt response.
I get my answer from your certification matrix. I appreciate your response.
Now second question arise that We are using currently Database version of 10.2.0.1.0.
And in a certification matrix shows supported version Oracle 10.2.0.4+.
Now I am bit confused that currently working database supports or not?
Still i am trying to install on My window 2008 R2 with IIS 7.0.
Let me check what happens.
Again Thanks a lot to ccortez and PaulM for your quick response and help.

Sharepoint 2013 and SSRS 2012 Integration - Report Server Content Types not displayed

Hello, Everyone:
I installed SSRS 2012 on our Sharepoint 2013 application server following the step-by-step instruction from the posting below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx
Everything goes well after STEP 3 is completed.
I did see the reporting services started and SSRS service application created.
However, when I created a new site and tried to enable the predefined Reporting Services content types, I do not see the Shared data source (.rsds) files, report models (.smdl), and Report Builder report definition (.rdl) 3 types of files listed at
all.
Further more, when I go to the Provision Subscriptions and Alerts page, I keep getting a "SQL Server Agent state cannot be determined" error, even though the username and password provided is the admin user
for the database.
Any experience of what is wrong with the SSRS - Sharepoint integration? Please help!
Tina

Hello, Treavor:
Now that the content types problem is resolved, I need to come back to the
Provision Subscriptions and Alerts page.
I guess I'm a little confused about what is being asked for the Provision Subscriptions and Alerts page.
The user I provided on the Provision Subscriptions and Alerts page is my user-defined sysadmin role. And the page takes that.
When I downloaded the SQL script, it was trying to give the automatically generated user "sa-SPDevContentAppPo" permission.
Which user are we using to detect the SQL Server Agent?
Thanks again!
Tina

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!

Using Web Services on the Crystal Report Server XI to return reports

Hi,I'm trying to setup for the first time a Crystal Reports Server XI R2 and put a couple of reports onto the server. This is so I can access the reports on the crystal reports server using using the crystal web services and finally display the reports in an ASP.NET web application.So far I have installed the server, created a couple of reports, put them on the server, and tested to see that I can access the reports using the Central Management Console. This all works fine and the reports are returned. Ok, now for the bit that's not working. I've got a C# ASP.NET web application, and I've followed a couple of <a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/cr_net/vs_2005/html/crtsktutorialsotherdynamicpulldownwebservicehelpermethod.htm" target="_blank" title="Adding a Helper Method to Access Crystal Reports Web Services">tutorials</a> to give me an idea of what I should be doing to use the Web Services that are provided: <ul><li>ServerFileReportManager.asmx</li><li>ServerFileReportService.asmx </li></ul>However, it appears that when I list the child objects on the crystal server:<blockquote>serverFileReport = new ServerFileReport(); serverFileReport.ReportPath = ""; reportManagerRequest = new ReportManagerRequest(); reportManagerRequest.ExtraData = serverFileReport.GetExtraData(); reportManagerRequest.ParentUri = serverFileReport.ToUri(); ReportManagerResponse reportManagerResponse = new ReportManagerResponse(); reportManagerResponse = serverFileReportManagerProxy.ListChildObjects(reportManagerRequest);</blockquote>I always get a reportManagerResponse.ReportUris with a count of 0. Now the thing is I know that I have a couple of reports on the Crystal Server, but for some reason they're not been picked up. I must be missing something.Does anyone have any ideas??? Please!Many thanks in advance, ChrisCurrent Set-up:<ul><li>Crystal Reports Server XI R2 (11.5)</li><li>Virtual Directory of the web services: crystalreportviewers115 </li><ul><li>(Physical Path - C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115)</li></ul><li>Development Environment: Visual Studio 2005</li></ul>

I looks like your mixing technologies here. You are using Crystal Report Server and the Crystal Report Web Services that come with Visual Studio.I know that this might seem like they are the same product, and the naming does seem confusing but I'll try and make it easy for you to understand.Crystal Reports Server - This is a managed reporting solution which allows you to distribute your reports via the web. It has features like scheduling and built in security.It appears that you have a handle on what Crytal Report Server is from what you have been able to accomplish those far. You have created your report and published it to Crystal Report Server and viewed it via the Central Management Console. Crystal Reports Server has two methods for accessing the reports programatically.1. The Enterprise SDK2. The Web Services SDK<a href="/node/353">Check out this white paper that compares these two SDKs </a><a href="/node/256">This paper describes the Web Services SDK.</a>In the above paper there is a getting started section which points you to the Developer Library which shows you how to install the web services on your Crytal Reports Server machine.Crystal Reports Server does not have the Business Object web services installed by default so I would suggest following the directions in the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm">Developer Library.</a>The directions wont talk about Crystal Reports Server but these are the directions to get the Web Services installed. There is another web services technology which you are writing code for which is called Crystal Report Web Services. This technology comes with Visual Studio 2003. It provides un-managed reports via webservices. Un-managed means these reports are not published to Crystal Reports Server.So basically your problem is that your code is for Crystal Report Web Services but you are trying to view reports published to Crystal Reports Server. To take advantage of scheduling and security and web service access I would suggest using Crystal Reports Server and install the Business Objects Platform webservices to access the reports. I hope that's clear. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

Bad load arguments supplied when starting up the Reports Server

Dear All,
In report60\server\<filename>.ora
Following were the contents :
maxconnect=20
cachedir="d:\Oracle\806\REPORT60\server\cache"
cachesize=50
minengine=0
initengine=0
maxengine=1
maxidle=30
security=1
englife=50
We chnaged it to

cachedir="d:\Oracle\806\REPORT60\server\cache"
cachesize=50
minengine=1
initengine=0
maxengine=5
maxidle=30
security=1
englife=50
We imideatly got result we checked it put it on live application server.
Everything was smooth but next day we got calls/email from user saying report were slow. when we checked the windows process on application server rwmts60 was occuping 50% of memory so we killed that process. We restrarted the report service but was unable to restart.Then we saw the report log as follows :
*** 2008-07-29 17:36:51 -- Server started up an engine. (Rep60_WEBDB-01)
*** 2008-07-29 17:36:53 -- Server engine crashed. (Rep60_WEBDB-01)

*** Bad load arguments supplied when starting up the Reports Server
*** Bad load arguments supplied when starting up the Reports Server
*** Bad load arguments supplied when starting up the Reports Server
*** Bad load arguments supplied when starting up the Reports Server
then we changed back our ora file to
maxconnect=20
cachedir="d:\Oracle\806\REPORT60\server\cache"
cachesize=50
minengine=0
maxengine=1
initengine=0
maxidle=30
security=1
englife=50
And restarted the service which restarted suceesfully.
My question is i had changed maxengine=5 and minengine=1 on 20- JUL-2008 around 16:00 .Did this happen b'coz of this 2 parameters.
Kindly advice.
Thanking You in anticipation.

Hello Mahendraji,
Thanks for your reply.
I may ask some basic question please accomodate me.
<<$RACLE_HOME\reports\conf\apple_report.conf>>
I have Application server 9i version 1.0.2.0.0 (isuite).
I have installed in D drive
In this drive a folder d:\orcale is created.
Inside of this i don't have any folder called "reports"
i have folder called "806"
\\webdb-01\D-Drive\Oracle\806
Inside of which i have folder "report60"
\\webdb-01\D-Drive\Oracle\806\REPORT60
Inside of which i have folder "SERVER"
\\webdb-01\D-Drive\Oracle\806\REPORT60\SERVER
In which i found "Rep60_WEBDB-01.ora" , "Rep60_WEBDB-01.log" and "cgicmd.dat"
and 2 folders "CACHE" and "security".
I am confused as you said that the file name should be Rep60_WEBDB-01.CONF but i have Rep60_WEBDB-01.ora are they one and the same . If yes is the extension b'coz i have older version of 9i i.e 1.0.2.0.0 (isuite).
if no where i how i can search this .
This Rep60_WEBDB-01.ora file doesnot have parameter "engineResponseTimeOut" if i add it will it work.
Your explanation regarding "engineResponseTimeOut" is clear.
Maximum Time taken by our report is 20 minutes. But sometimes when report hangs or SQL takes more time than normal due to the environment so the max time might change to 25 or 30 minutes in such a case should we keep it at 45 minutes to avoid any unneccessary termination.
<<Note:
It is always better to run batch reports on a separate server with different engineResponseTimeOut values. Do not submit interactive and batch reports to same server.>>
If i create a seperate application server how can i send reports requested by user to batch in this seperrate server.
What should be the criteria of report to be redirected to seperate server?
What do mean by "submit interactive" and "submit batch"
My interpretation is when we click on submit query button it is "submit interactive" is it correct.
I am not clear about "submit batch"
I know there might be some silly questions but please do accomodate.
Kindly advice.
Thanks.

Devendra Shelke

Crystal Report Server XI R2 SP2 for Linux??

Post Author: plambrechtsen
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
HelloTrying to get Crystal Report Server XI R2 on Linux working, I have downloaded the latest eval version that I could find aka "crsxir2linuxdisc1.tar.gz" and "crsxir2linuxdisc2.tar.gz" and plugged in the XI R2 Eval Code.In theory I should be able to use my Crystal XI license code to license R2... but the Server does not accept the XI license code.Is it just me or is Crystal Server Patching REALLY confusing or what.... There doesn't seem to be a clear place to download anything later than the XI R2 shipping code for Crystal Server either for Windows or for Linux. The latest version of Developer is easy to find.... what about Crystal Server?

Answered my own question. Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
1. Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI. Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server). This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties. Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version. Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource. Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database. Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
8. Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

In the report:
I created all the required parameters and i wrote a trigger as
function AfterPForm return boolean is
dst_file text_io.file_type;
l_email_dir varchar2(50);
begin
dst_file := text_io.fopen(:p_email_path||'test.xml','w');
text_io.putf(dst_file, '<destinations>'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '<mail id="ex1" '||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, 'from="&P_FROM"'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, 'to="&P_SEND"'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, 'cc="&P_CC"'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, 'subject="&<P_NUM>">'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '<body srcType="text">'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file,'<![CDATA>'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '</body>'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '<foreach>'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '<attach format="pdf" name="report.pdf" srcType="report" instance="all">'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '<include src="mainSection"/>'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '</attach>'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '</foreach>'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '</mail>'||chr(13));
text_io.putf(dst_file, '</destinations>'||chr(13));
text_io.fclose(dst_file);
return (TRUE);
end;
Then after compilation i click the button send. Then i got the message as
Mail has been sent to [email protected].
But i didn't receive any mail.
then i check the report job id. It was showing job was successful .
And i check whether the test.xml file was created or not. It has created the test.xml file as below:
<destinations>
<mail id="ex1"
from="&P_FROM"
to="&P_SEND"
cc="&P_CC"
subject="&<P_NUM>">
<body srcType="text">
<![CDATA Please refer to the attached abc Report]>
</body>
<foreach>
<attach format="pdf" name="report.pdf" srcType="report" instance="all">
<include src="mainSection"/>
</attach>
</foreach>
</mail>
</destinations>
I have 2 machines having dev 10g. one machine is working fine with this code. but in my machine it was not working.
Do any one of you had a solution for my case.
Thanks in advance.
