Doubt on 11g reports server (rwservlet.properties)

Hi ,
We are using oracle fusion middleware forms & reports(11.1.1.2.0).For reports,we have setup standalone report server.As per my understanding by reading the documentation,
Based on rwservlet.properties(server & in process parameters) under $DOMAIN_HOME, wls_reports send the request to in process server or standalone.
But in our configuration,we didn't change anything in rwservlet.properties.It is still pointing to default in process server and <inprocess>yes</inprocess>. But our reports are working fine.How wls_reports(rwservlet) correctly communicating to our standalone report server eventhough it points to in process server?
Please give your replies on this.
Thanks in Advance.

PDFs generated by our Fusion 11g Reports Server do not look correct on iPhone and some Chrome machines

We auto generate PDF reports from our Oracle Fusion Report Server running on Windows. The PDFs look fine on our Windows machines but they lose their formatting on iPhones, iPads and even some Windows Chrome browsers. I checked the Properties of the PDF and fast-web view is disabled on the PDFs. Has anyone had this issue and found a solution? I am trying to find where I can modify the PDF settings so I can perhaps try to embed fonts or play with the settings to see if anything makes a difference.
Thank you.

Oracle 6i Report server - rwservlet

Hi,
We are using Oralce 6i, we are currently working with RWCGI for reports. Problem with this is, the query parameter which is more than 256 characters is not working and we are getting Page Not Found. We would like to configure and use RWSERVLET instead of CGI. Can anybody tell me how to configure or provide me link on
If RWSERVLET is not there in Oracle 6i Reports, please let me know how to send the inputs to the query parameters of the reports if it is more than 256 chars.
Regards
Arun

The servlet runs on the server and only call the Reports 6i CGI. It isn't a true servlet in Reports 6i. I configured my servers to run reports 6i as a servlet and it was terrible. It crashed several times. After opening a tar with Oracle, I found that running Reports 6i as a servlet is a waste of time because it still uses the CGI to run the Report.
Do a search on for a topic of "Configuring Apache Web Server".
"The recommended way to use a web client in Reports 6i is cgi since 6i Report servlet essentially calls the c-code only inside and does not offer a true servlet based architectural benefit. 9iAS Rel-2 offers a true Servlet based architecture and offers much more performance and scalability gains for the user plus with all the new Reports 9i features."

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.

How to disable or rename Oracle Report Server servlet command?

Hi,
I'm using Oracle9i App Server R2.
I would like to learn how to disable or rename Oracle Report Server's servlet command?
This is to avoid user from accessing http://myserver/reports/rwservlet/showmap to view the key map file content.
Please advise.

or example, my report server was rep_appserver, then i want to rename it to rep_test.
Here some step to accomplish it,
1. stop mid-tier
$ORACLE_HOME\opmn\bin\opmnctl stopall
2. stop em website
$ORACLE_HOME\bin\emctl stop iasconsole
3. rename $ORACLE_HOME\reports\conf\rep_<old_report_server_name>.conf to something else or delete it
4. rename $ORACLE_HOME\reports\server\rep_<old_report_server_name>.dat to something else or delete it
5. edit $ORACLE_HOME\reports\conf\rwservlet.properties file then change the SERVER parameter to new report server name(remember this new name has to be a unique name)
6. create a backup copy of the $ORACLE_HOME\sysman\emd\targets.xml file
7. open $ORACLE_HOME\sysman\emd\targets.xml, find old report server name and then replace it to new report server name
8. save new targets.xml file
9. open $ORACLE_HOME\opmn\conf\opmn.xml, old report server name and then replace it to new report server name
10. start em website
$ORACLE_HOME\bin\emctl start iasconsole
11. start mid-tier
$ORACLE_HOME\opmn\bin\opmnctl startall

Oracle Reports server 10g shutting down and starting automatically

Hi ,
My 10g Reports server runs on Redhat v4.0 .
From few days reports server log show that Reports Server is shut down and starts up automatically.
------- log -------
*** 2007/8/28 7:26:21:353 -- Shutting down engine rwEng-0

*** 2007/8/29 1:46:18:389 -- Reports Server started up engine rwEng-0
what might be reason for above issue ?
Thanks ...
Raju

The reports server is not shutting down but rather engines used by the reports server are being stopped and started. A reports engine requests data from the data source, formats the report, sends the output to cache, and notifies the Reports Server that the job is complete. These engines are cycled like connections in a connection pool. You can configure them in the ORACLE_HOME\reports\conf\rwservlet.properties file. Look here for details:

Reg. knowing report server

hi all,
I am not able to run a report (rdf file) in web (html format) from a form.
I am getting report parameters dynamically, but I suspect i've given parameter APPLICATION_REPORT_SERVER wrongly in default.env file.
I have both forms dev suite and reports server on a single machine. What is the default name for report server?
Suppose if my forms server name is SYSTEM_SERVER then the same is applicable for report server name too?
I am gettnig confused, as the report is not running in the browser and shows page can not be displayed error.
The same application and the report was running successfullly before, I installed again on my local machine and i am testing it.
Regards,

Thank you for your reply,
I am finding a .dat file in the devsuitehome\\reports\server. But name of that file is same like which I give in default.env file for APPLICATION_REPORT_SERVER parameter.
My doubt is whethere report server name is same as machine name and application server name?
And I want to check whether I have given correct report server name in default.env file too..
Plz help

Report server name in rwservlet.properties file

Hi all,
I dont want to hard code the report server name while calling report from the form...
I have used....
     vrep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(myreport1);
/* Checking for Report Server is started or not, if not throw an exception else proceed */
     if vrep = vrep||'_0'then
     raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
     vjob_id := substr(vrep,length(vc_reportserver)+2,length(vrep));
     vrep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(vrep);
where vc_reportserver is assigned a value of my report server name...
If I edit rwservlet.properties file and give
server=<my rep server name>,
How can i read this value from the form ? Any help please?
I know there is a way to do in formsweb and default.env. But I want to know the way how to used in rwservlet.properties file and use it in the form.
Kindly help
Priya

Thanks Francois for your reply.
You can pass this value in the formsweb.cfg file (otherparams=)So, in forms I have to create a parameter matching with the one what I have mentioned in otherparams. right?
you can read it from a database parameter's table (solution I prefer).So, just storing the report server name in database and fetch like
select --- from tablename! Is it so?
And apart from this, may I know why you prefer this method?
And why not rwservlet.properties??

How Can i specify multiple server names in rwservlet.properties file?

How Can i specify multiple server names in rwservlet.properties file without clustering?
I am using oracle 10g Application server. we have 3 servers Repsvr1, RepSvr2 and RepSvr3. Now i need to configure rwservlet.properties file to point to these servers based on any running report. i got 3 keymap files with reports info.
Sample entry in the key map file is:
key1: server=Repsvr1 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path2\reports\Report1.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
key2: server=Repsvr2 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path3\reports\Report2.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
rwservlet.properties file letting me to enter only one servername. Even though i merged all 3 keymap files into 1, still i have the server name issue. If i leave the server to the default name still i am getting the below error.
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server Repsvr1 failed. However, i know the default rep_<servername> would be used incase we dont have SERVER=<value> parameter in the rwservlet.properties file.
If i specify the servername in the rwservlet.properties file then only Repsvr1 reports are working fine and other 2 server reports are giving the same error like
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server <<Server Name>> failed.
how can i configure the info which will work all 3 reports. 2 Port servers are invoking using oracle forms and report server is invoking using ASP pages.
If i specify Server name & Key map file in rwservlet.properties one at a time, all the reports are working without any error, whenever i am trying to integrate all 3 to workable i am getting binding error. if i exclude the server from rwservlet.properties still i am getting the same error.

My RELOAD_KEYMAP setting is YES only.As i said If i specify Server name & Key map file in rwservlet.properties one at a time, all the reports are working without any error.
keymap file entries
key1: server=Repsvr1 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path2\reports\Report1.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
key2: server=Repsvr2 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path3\reports\Report2.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
If i use http://server.domain:port/reports/rwservlet? cmdkey = key1 should bring the report from Repsvr1 and http://server.domain:port/reports/rwservlet? cmdkey = key2 should bring the report from Repsvr2, but i am getting an error from Repsvr2 saying that REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsvr2 failed.
Only Servername Repsvr1 is in rwservlet.properties file. Now what is the best option to by pass the server from rwservlet.properties file and should be from keymap file. if i comment server name in rwservlet.properties file still i am getting REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server <<Server Name>> failed error for both keys.

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.

Oracle Report Server 11g Start Automatically

Dear All
IF you want to start the report server in oracle forms 11g , you must go to this link :
https://localhopst:Port No/reports/rwservlet/startserver
I want to start the report server automatically as windows service without that step .
Thanks in advanced

The following can be used to start the managed server (i.e. WLS_REPORTS). Although this will not start the Reports inProc server, it will get the managed server started. A stand-alone rep server can be monitored by opmn and started automatically. See MyOracleSupport note 1126019.1
Refer to the product documentation for more info about Windows Services and working with WLS Managed Servers.

Small update again,
I skipped using the downloadable oc4j/j2ee and tried using the one that came with 10.2.0.1 installation (patched to 10.2.0.3)
It starts up fine saying:
07/03/28 21:31:27 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.1.0) initialized
It started up all well with the downloadable latest containers too, but got different errors running the apex_fop.jsp file.
well with the version that came with the database it says in the PDF file after I tried to generate it from a report:
Error 500:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file
Anyone got any idea?
