Default Reports Server

Ok. I have a simple report that I created using Report Builder 9i and it runs fine using the local oc4j instance that came with 9iDS. I am trying to run the report from Forms now, but I don't know what to put as the report server in my report object that I setup in forms. The oc4j instance is running, so do I just leave it blank so it will default to localhost? The documentation just says.... "Put in your report server". I shouldn't need a tnsnames entry for the report server if it's local right?
Thanks.

Deborah,
the overhead of adding too many parameters in "otherparams" added to the global section is that you have to create them in your Forms applications.If Forms doesn't know of a parameter you use then it raises and error. If you want to pass multiple Report Server names, I suggest to pass them e.g. in a comma separated way like
otherparams=repotservers=repSrv1,repSrv2,repSrv3
this way all Forms modules need to have the user parameter "reportservers" with a size (max. 4k) long enough to store the string in. All that the developer needs to do is to parse this information beforebeing able to use it.
In your case I think I wouldn't use "otherparams" at all but maintain a database table with the Reports Server names in it.
A developer could query this table for the Reports Server to use for a particular application or office location. If teh table would contain information about the suer running the application, you could also configure the name of the network printer that this user sits next to in case you need to print Reports.

Can default report server and OC4J be used ..?

Hi,
*1*. I had a report server named stcreportserver that was working fine during the testing phase but suddenly it started throwing errors like cannot connect to report server,cannot open file and cannot get the job id........
I would like to know when i host this application on the windows server 2003 for the users can i use the default report server instead of creating a new server.....
*2.* I have got another application say app2 ...so for hosting do i need to make some additional configurations like creating a new oc4j instance for this application...or can i use the default oc4j instance that i use for my first application.
Note: I use the same database for both the application but different schemas.


We did some tests and discovered the following: 


Using "null" for the filename.


If I pass in "null" for the fileName, my code runs without any issues and the FRS file is now changed to a new random file, but this file does not have the .rpt extension. I can preview the report in the CMC without any issues, but the underlying file is missing the .rpt extension. I can manually add the .rpt extension and open the report in the CR Designer without any issues. In this case, the InfoObject's SI_UPDATE_TS property is updated.


Using a new filename 
If I change the fileName in anyway, such as prepending "1" to the fileName, my code runs without errors as well. I can see that the FRS file has been updated with the new name and it does have the .rpt extension. 
 
In this case, the InfoObject's SI_UPDATE_TS property is updated as well.


Currently we don't know the following things:


Is this supported, or is this just a bug?


I don't know the answer right now but at least you know more now. I'll try to update you if I hear anything.

Renaming default report server OC4J container

Hi all,
I have recently had to re-install my 2 app servers from scratch ( dont ask please !!) they are Oracle 10g App Server ver 9.0.4.1.0 and both look at the same underlining DB.
Before "everything went wrong......." the Report Server container was named to repserver1. Which meant switching between app servers was a bit easier. now after the default installations on both App servers are called rep_ap-1 or rep_ap-2.....does anyone know how to switch these back or even rename them ?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

hi
u have to start the report sever before displaying report.
and its better if you start your report server something like this.
rwserver server=server_name startbecause if you use batch=yes sometime cause of using batch=yes you will get error.So better to use the above command.
hope it helps you.

Create report container other than default report server

Hi,
is it possible to create a asp .net website that contains all reports in SSRS 2008 Report Server? i want to customize the we to be more user friendly and users who access to the website will view their designated reports.
thanks,
Addin
AddinGanteng

Hi ,
If you want to call your ssrs reports in asp.net application then you can simply use report Viewer control.
Design SSRS Report
Step 1
Design your SSRS report by using report designing tools. You can use Visual Studio or ReportBuilder.
Step 2
Include a Report Viewer in .aspx page.
Step 3
Include a Script Manager in that page [if required].
Step 4
Include a button.
you can below link;

Report Server (Please help ! )

Hello!
I have installed infrastructure and AS onsame machine. In startthe default report server (rep_myserver) performe very well but after about 60 reports it went to down. Now when i try to start it from AS Home page it start and immidiatly stoped.
Log files are showing only start and stop time without any other details. Trace files are also empty.
Please help me to solve this problem. Is it a configration problem or i need a patch to solveit.
Thanks
UsmanRana

Hi UsmanRana,
Make sure your rep_myserver.conf file has the following line in it and that it isn't commented out:
<trace traceOpts="trace_all">
Then restart your report server and look in the "logs" subdirectory for the rep_myserver.trc file. It should show you what happened that caused the report server to shut down.

Report server error 1075

I have installed 9iAS v 10222 enterprise edition on p4 machine.
9iAS installed ok.
but the report server installed by default with name
Rep60_machine_name
but application are using different name for the report server
so I uninstalled the default report server by using the command
rwmts60 -uninstall Rep60_machine_name.
Now I installed the report server with the desired name using command
rwmts60 -install newname -tcpip
set the system account from services.
and start the new report server. But the error occurs while starting the report server.
the error message is
error 1075 occured: The dependency service either does not exist or have been marked for deletion
pls help
Thanks in advance

Yogesh Kumar

Hi,
this is the Oracle Forms forum, you might have more luck in the Reports forum here Reports
However, I guess you installed the reports server as a service under windows, right? Check the DependOnService registry key value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<reports server key>
Uninstall the reports server using rwserver -uninstall <server_name> and reinstall it using rwserver -install <server_name> [batch=yes/no] [autostart=yes/no] with valid parameters.

Load Balancing Reports Server

I am supporting an app server for a Forms & Reports application that uses run_report_object to run reports on a Reports Server. This is on 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) on Solaris & Linux.
Currently running multiple standalone Reports Servers on a single server (for 3 different projects). Need to prevent one project from affecting another as much as possible (yes, I know they are on the same box....).
I have a requirement to ensure that a hanging Reports Server doesn't prevent other jobs from running. I see that Reports Server clustering is no longer an option. The Reports documentation about how to implement HA basically say just read the AS docs and figure it out. The problem is that using the AS J2EE HA means that you'd HAVE to use the Reports Servlet. Additionally, I don't see how the reports servlet could be called so that more than one Reports server would be used.
I keep hearing about an impending doc about implementing HA on Reports. When is it coming?
Future environments will be multiple AS installs on separate boxes accessing a RAC DB.
So, what's the scoop? How can I implement this?
So, here are my questions:
1. (Two Servers) I believe I could do this on two servers if I had the same Reports Server name on each. If so, could I have two OC4J containers on each server both with the same mount point for the rwservlet application? What else would I need to do to tell OHS to load balance between both since they have the same name.
2. (Two Servers) If 1 above is okay, would it be possible to have two OC4J containers point to two different standalone Reports Servers?
3. (One Server) Can I start up multiple Reports Servers on same box with the same name (I'm pretty sure this is no :-) )
4. (One Server) Like 2 above except on a single server. Two independent OC4J containers accessing two different servlets. Each has a default Reports Server setup. URL would look the same from each.
I'm kind of graping for straws here on how to move ahead. I'm surprised the Reports Server clustering was taken away, but I suspect it is because the underlying Visibroker architecture was changed and there weren't the resources required to redo this. I'm not sure that is a good thing.
Any help would be appreciated.
:-) Steve

Say you have two servers where you configured Reports, i.e. either in full Enterprise Edition or in AS10g Forms&Reports standalone.
For example:
ServerA.oracle.com with port 7777
ServerB.oracle.com with port 7777
Without using a load balancer you would call a Report with:
http://ServerA.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss
http://ServerB.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss
Now you put a load balancer in front of them and assign it the virtual name:
reports.oracle.comNow you can call Reports with this URL:
http://reports.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss
To make it more interesting you create a specific Reports Server on ServerA called repserver_a and on ServerB: repserver_b. You add them into Enterprise Manager with:
$OH/bin/addNewServerTarget.sh repserver_a (on ServerA and with repserver_b on ServerB). You might need to reload opmnctl and emctl with:
opmnctl reload
emctl reloadIn $OH/reports/conf you add this line at the end (use server=repserver_b on ServerB) :
reporting: userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=cache desformat=htmlcss server=repserver_a %* You'll call your Reports with this URL:
http://reports.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?reporting&report=test.rdf
Good luck!

Weblogic, Forms and reports 11g - help with report server

Hi Everyone
To start with i'm very new to forms and reports (3 months!!!) so my question may sound a bit silly.
At the moment we have 10 apps using forms and about 6 of them using reports. All the reports get run from the forms. We are upgrading forms and reports from 10g to 11g and the dev teams are not willing to recode the forms to pick up ENVID's etc. i have 1 reports server running and have configured to run one of the apps reports but my question is how do i get the other apps to run under that report server, can this be done.
I have thought about creating a report sever for each app but not sure if this is best practice and a bit over kill.
Would i be wrong to create a report server for each app.
Thanks
Edited by: Zantie on May 11, 2011 2:27 PM

Hi,
If both apps are using the same middle-tier home, then forms built-in run_report_object should submit reports to the this url. i.e <protocol://<mid-tier or LBR>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?. Assuming you are using the in-process reports server no need to specify reports_server parameter. Also if the envid is missing, you can move all the .rdf or .rep files to the default reports server directory $mid-tier_home/reports/samples/demo directory.

Create and configure reports server in Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2 on solaris 10

Hi All,
I have installed Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2 on Solaris 10. I want to create and configure a new reports server.
Please help as I can't see anything on metalink.
Thanks/Regards
Dirish

In fact when installing 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2, the default report server name looks like this REP60_TEST.INTNET.MU.
My original tnsnames.ora was like this
REP60_TEST.INTNET.MU =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = test.intnet.mu)(PORT = 1950))
I added an alias to the tnsnames.ora file
now my tnsnames.ora is like this
REP60TEST,REP60_TEST.INTNET.MU =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = test.intnet.mu)(PORT = 1950))
This is working fine
Thanks

We have installed SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 on Windows 2012 Server and we can’t see any SSRS default group on windows server group list say something like (SQLServerReportServerUser$TestServer$MSRS11_50.MSSQLSERVER)
created as part of the installation
we are migrating SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012, we were able to see default group for Reporting Server has been created in the earlier versions like SQLServerReportServerUser$TestServer$MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER

What's the default mysql database name in Crystal Report Server XIR2

Hi Experts,
I am upgrading Crystal Report Server from XIR2 to XI3.1.
I need to know the default mysql database name when upgrading.
Anyone knows?

Hi,
In XI3.1, when BOE installed with default mySQL DB then the installer creates a DataSource with name "Business Objects CMS".
And the DB name will be "BOE120".
I guess in XIR2 DB name will be ''BOE115".
Also, if you launch the CMC admin page then in the settings link the DB info will be displayed.
-Noor.

Drop down boxes ok in Crystal Reports but not ok in Crystal Reports Server

I have the following problem with "dynamic dropdowns"
Initially, I have a Crystal Report (.rpt). It has two dynamic drop downs. They work
in both Crystal Reports Designer (preview) and Crystal Reports Server (right-click-View).
The first drop down is the result of a rather complex sql query. The second drop down
is a child of the first.
I make a small change to the sql "WHERE" clause using the Crystal Reports Designer. It works fine in preview.
I save (Enterprise mode) to Crystal Server. I use Business View Manager to configure
the _DC_n object. (I did notice that the .._DC_n gets incremented by one.)
The _DF object seems to know about the updated sql so I do not have change it.
However, when I go to back to Crystal Reports Server, and right-click-View, the
"dynamic dropdown" is not working properly. I can not make sense
of what has been retrieved.
Please tell me what is most likely to have gone wrong here? The Business View Manager
seemed to knew about the sql change. But Crystal Reports Server has
not responded to the change in the same way as Crystal Reports Designer.
...thank you, Stan

When you publish a report to Crystal Server, the dynamic prompts are no longer handled in the report itself. Instead depending on how they're published, they either go away or they're published to the "repository" and managed through the "Business View Manager" (BVM), which is available as part of the Client Tools install.
To get the dynamic prompt into the repository, you have to check the "Enable Repository Refresh" checkbox at the bottom of the "Save As" screen after you log in to CRS. However, doing it this way is NOT best practice, especially if you're using the query from the report to provide the data for the prompt. If you do this for all of your reports, you get a LOT of bloat in the repository objects and it makes the job of migrating from one version of CRS to another MUCH more difficult!
What I've done in the past to get a simple "sample" prompt published is create a report that just contains the data that I want to have in the dynamic parameter using a single table - this is usually what I call a "lookup" table that has a "code" field and a "description" or "name" field. I then create a dynamic parameter in that report that just pulls the data from the single table. I'll publish the report to my favorites with the Repository Refresh enabled.
I then run the BVM and look for the following objects (default location is under "Cascading Dynamic Prompts":
<prompt name>_DC - This is the Data Connection for the prompt. Edit this, enter the password, and set it to "Never Prompt" for the password. NOTE: This DC can be reused by multiple prompts. If you continue to add prompts through publishing Crystal Reports with prompts, you will get MANY of these that all point to the same database!
<prompt name>_DF - This is the Data Foundation for the prompts. When you create a new one, you need to select an existing DC and then either one or more tables or write a command to provide the data for your prompt. It works much like the Database Explorer in Crystal. The one that was just saved has all of the information required for the prompt.
<prompt name>_BE - This is the Business Element. When you create one, you have to select and existing DF and one or more fields. You can also create a filter on the data. This is used to generate the SQL that will be run to provide the data for the prompt.
<prompt name>_ BV - This is the Business View. When you create one, you have to select the Business Element. I'm not sure of the exact purpose of this, but you have to have one in order to set up the "List of Values".
<prompt name> - This is the List of Values (LOV). This defines what fields are available for the prompt itself.
You can create folders to organize these objects so that its easier to maintain.
To use a LOV that you've defined in BVM to feed data to new dynamic prompts, do the following:
1. Connect to CRS from Crystal.
2. Create/Edit your prompt.
3. Set the prompt to be dynamic.
4. Under "Choose a Data Source", select "Existing" and select the LOV from the drop-down list.
5. Update the properties in the parameter.
When viewing or scheduling a report, the dynamic prompts will run through the Crystal Reports 2013 Report Application Server in CRS (it will be named differently if you're not on CRS 2013, but will have "Report Application Server" in the name.)

Before this you have to prepare your internal table with tab delimeter structure with data.
data: wa_appl_title like line of appl_title.
       concatenate fhdr '/file_details_'

        if sy-subrc = 0.
          clear wa_appl_title.
          read table appl_title into wa_appl_title index 1.
          if sy-subrc = 0.
            transfer wa_appl_title to fhdr.

11.1.2.0 forms cannot connect to report server

11.1.2.0
I have a new install of 11.1.2.0 forms and reports. I am using my 10g fmb and rdf and pll files all recompiled to 11g. So, the forms, reports, plls are all coded correctly and have worked for years as 10g forms. The 11g forms run fine and so does webutil in weblogic 10.3.6. However, I cannot get the forms to call the reports. I have changed the rwserver.conf file for both the in-process and stand alone servers to point to the reports rdf/rep path. I can call reports from a url and see the report successfully run in report queue so I know the path is set correctly to the reports. I know run_report_object in the form is returning 0 (zero) and always trying to "getjobid0". The form returns frm-41212: Unable to connect to the report server. I have set my report server name in the default.env file to the in-process server. Like I said the form has worked for years as a 10g form calling reports. This has got to be a setting somewhere that I havent done. Any ideas?

Dear Friend,
Could you please show me the code for calling the report??
maybe i can help you.
