Need info. on multiple report server

I need to have two 9i report server on the same machine and they should serve two different language applications and hence should have two different NLS_LANG JA16SJIS and WEISO8859P1. The applications are forms6i and the report servers should be 9i.
My question is:
1. Is it possible to have two 9i report servers on the same machine with different NLS_LANG?
2. If possible, can they be accessed from forms6i?
3. If this is feasible, pls. give me guidance or the doc where I can find the info. to set up this config.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Venkatesan
If you are going to run several Reports 9i server with different NLS parameters, you may want to explore Dynamic Environment switching feature. Apply the latest Reports 9i patch and go through the Release Notes that comes along on how to use it.
Briefly, Dynamic Environment feature allows you to have a single Reports Server serving report request of multiple languages. All you need to do is a minor modification in the Server configuration file. Next when sending a request to Reports Server you need to specify which language this reports is.

Setting OBDC info on multiple reports (batch)

Hello,
Is there a way to set OBDC info for multiple reports at once. I have users with 100+ reports and we just changed SQL server, so that each report need to be pointed to the new server. Doing it manually by opening each report and manually pointing it to the new server is a real pain.
If there is a way we can do it in a batch that would save us a lot of time.
TIA!

since you're changing servers, just editing the existing odbc connection (i.e. in the 32 Bit ODBC Data Source Administrator) to point to the new server should be all that is required as long as the table names and field names / types within those tables remains constant.
otherwise, there are 3rd party tools (usually cost) like 'rpt inspector' where you can do this.

Do I need to uninstall Crystal Reports Server 2008?

Hello,
We recently installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 and began migrating reports off the CR Enterprise 9 platform and things were going pretty well.
One of our other locations began moving over their reports that are ran against an Oracle database and cannot get passed a connectivity issue. We found the following:
Oracle connectivity issues
If you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 on a 64-bit Windows
platform, Oracle database connectivity issues may occur. If Crystal Reports
Server 2008 V1 is installed to a location that contains brackets in the folder
path, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\, it will be unable to connect
to an Oracle database. Certain Oracle database clients such as version
10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.2, may not function properly with any application that
has brackets in its folder path. When installing Crystal Reports Server 2008
V1, select an installation path that does not contain brackets, such as
C:\Program Files x86\ or contact Oracle support for an updated database
client.
We of course have everything installed in the default (x86) folder. My question is, is there a way to move the installation, or do I need to uninstall/re-install? If I need to re-install, is there a way to back-up and reload all of my existing jobs?

Hello,
CR must have the Oracle client installed. Unless you use a Wired Driver, which has the client engine built in, CR requires a client to be installed. It never has worked without the client installed.
Also, I've found that if you have more than one Oracle client installed it causes problems. Make sure the first one in the PATH statement points to the latest version of the client.
And yes you are correct, ODBC is a layer on top of the native client so it will be slower obviously because it has to go through one more layer of dll's to get to the server.
Thanks again

Need info on accessing oracle server on laptop.

We have a laptop that has oracle server and VS2003 website. I want to connect to that laptop on the network with my new laptop to upgrade the website to VS2005. Ive installed the oracle 9i client tools on my new laptop. Not sure where i go or what to do from here.
Anyone know/or can point me to links i can read on how to do the rest of the setup on my new laptop to connect to that other laptops oracle server?

You need an Oracle Networking connection from the client machine to the database machine.
I'll describe the pieces that are involved, you decide what you need.
1) On the server side, we have a network listener that listens for network connection requests to the Oracle database(s)
a) The listener gets started either using 'lsnrctl start' or the Windows 'listener' service;
b) the database instance starts up and registers it's availability to the listener by sending
a message to the listener defined in the LOCAL_LISTENER parameter
- the default for the parameter is 'null', meaning this host on port 1521
- the registration can be forced by running the 'ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER;' command in sqlplus, or by hard coding an entry in the listener.ora file
c) the listener will listen on behalf of the computer in it's listener.ora file ... a 'protocol' error often indicates a host name discrepancy here
d) when it receives a service connection request, the listener will verify the service is available and request a connection of that service. In the database case, often this will result in a separate thread or process being established (aka server process) which will open a separate port, which the listener passes to the client ... the client switches from communicating with the listener to communicating with the server process.
2) On the client side, the client application uses Oracle Networking to find and connect to the listener above.
Typical connection information information contains 3 pieces:
- host to contact;
- port which the listener is monitoring;
- service to which the listener is to make a connection
The client uses any number of methods to derive that information. Most common with an Oracle software install is the TNSNAMES.ORA file - the app client provides a 'lookup alias' to Oracle Networking, the OraNet looks up that alias (left side of =) in the TNSNAMES.ORA and reads the 3 pieces of info from the right side of the '='.
Notes:
0) The listener.ora and tnsnames.ora can be maintained using the 'NETCA' or 'NETMGR' programs.
1) Each Oracle software install may install a new TNSNAMES.ORA and you could end up with a lot that have different info. Filling out one, does not imply that the alias will be found in a different one.
If you get any 'could not find' messages during connection it might be from maintaining the wrong one.
2) If the server moves, the tnsnames.ora may be pointing to the wrong host.

Need info on communication from server to flex

Hi
Can anyone let me know how asynchronous communication from
server to flex UI takes place??
What are all mechanisms I can be able to use?? How can I do
that??/
Thanks in Advance
Aruna.S.N.

You could use LiveCycle Data Services or Blaze DS for that or
you can create Socket Connections.
There are a couple of good chapters on the basics of socket
connections in the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook and LCDS and Blaze DS
both have a host of blogs and good documentation covering how to
use them.
If you have a ColdFusion server LCDS is built in making it
much easier to setup and use.

Need info on Coverage reports which supports spring 2.0 framework

I want to know whether there is Coverage report tool which is an eclipse plugin and which support Spring 2.0 framework.
Also, whether Coverlipse version supports Spring 2.0?

Spring provides some base classes for easily testing
application code that is wired with spring. It has
things like running tests inside individual
transactions, loading context files, etc.
The last time I tried Coverlipse you could not use
Spring's test case base classes and have the tests
run. That's what is meant by it does not support
Spring.
AaronInteresting. That's not a problem I'd considered. Do you know why this is? Does Coverclipse only measure classes which directly subclass org.junit.TestCase or something? I don't know how Coverclipse works, but don't you just point it at your tests and say "go forth and measure"?
We use JCoverage, and it seems to cope just fine with our tests, hardly any of which actually directly extend TestCase, and probably 3000 of extend a Spring test class. We use Spring 1.2.7, mind you, but I do know another team using the same build process as us, and it JCoverage works just fine with their Spring 2.0-based tests. I can't really see why a coverage tool wouldn't work with Spring test classes, or their helpers, since as long as they're on the classpath, they can be loaded and used. Is the Coverclipse classpath configured properly? Don't rely on it picking up it's classpath from your project, not all plugin authors think of that. Wouldn't surprise me if the plugin simply didn't have Spring 2.0 on it's classpath

Report 11gR1: multiple standalone Reports Server for one domain

Hi all,
In Oracle Froms, Report (11.1.1.6.0) environment is necessary to create more than one standalon Reports Server (iAS instances).
1- How can we create multiple Reports Server (insatances) in same domain?
2- How can use pro Reportsserver multiple engines (e.g. more than 3 engines)?
Regards,
Moh

Hi Moh,
Out of the box in 11g you get 1 standalone reports server (you can see this one via opmnctl status) and 1 in-process reports server than runs inside WLS_REPORTS managed server.
You can create more standalone reports servers for your instance. Please follow the following support note
Reference
How Do You Create And Start Up A Standalone Reports Server In 11g R1 & R2? (Doc ID 961174.1)
Regarding how to increase reports engines for each of your reports server you need to go to the Enterprise Manager console and select each of the reports servers you have and go to Reports --> Administration --> Basic menu and
change " Maximum Engines" property for the value you need. You will need to re-start your Reports server after this.
Hope this helps, Roberto

VCM installation help needed on SQL DB and Reporting server

Hi All,
I'm new to VCM and now i got stuck at the SQL DB and Report server portion.
I'm running the vcm server on VM and the SQL is a physical server, both are sitting on the same LAN.
I have create the SQL DB but VCM just fail to validate the DB and report server.
I login to VCM using a Domain account for installation, and i tried to testing the DB using ODBC from the window, result fail.
Error message as attach.
I'm now totally lost on SQL portion.
My Question:
Is there any configuration needed on SQL DB?
How to get the reporting server to working?
What port is needed to it all working??
VCM server Ms Win2012.
SQL version 2012.
Many thanks to all who reply.

Hi Simonhoo79,
For SSRS, first check whether the report server link is accessible from your browser : "http://s01-fes-vcm1:80/ReportServer" . If you continue to get 404 error there also, then you need to reconfigure you report server first before proceeding to vcm installation. Follow the steps on below link on how to reconfigure report server using report services configuration Manager for 404 error.

For SQL server ODBC connection,
Dont create ODBC connection for SQL Native Client. Create ODBC connection for SQL Server.
1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator
2. Click User DSN tab and Click Add button.
3. Select SQL server and click finish
4. Give name and description and Give the SQL server name (with instance name if your using named instance) or IP in the Server text box.
5. Click Next and select either Windows authentication or sql authentication based on your SQL server authentication mode and click next.
6. If the details given are correct then it will proceed further and check "Change the dafault database to" to your VCM database
7. Click next and finish and try test data source.
VCM 5.7.2 and below will support installation only on windows server 2008 R2 and it doesn't support windows server 2012 but it support both 2008 and 2012 sql servers.

Moving multiple reporting servers to one server

Our current environment consists of several 2008 r2 native reporting servers that have there own reporting database.
Our new environment will be a load balanced 2012 native report server that will use one 1 SQL 2012 reporting database. How would I go about migrating all the 2008 R2 databases into 1 central database. I have read up about some migration tools
that are available but I'm not sure if the tool(s) will allow the option for specifying a specific database, which will allow all the content to moved.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

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.

Configuring more than one report server

Hi ,
I need to run reports simultaneously using so can any one please give information about configuring multiple report servers. please advise

Hi All,
Thanks for the responses.
We had tried to store report server name in the database and accessed, that was for one AS.
But we need to setup two AS (report server), one inside the firewall and the other outside. So we need to refer the report server name, based on the users using the apps. Since setting up the report server name for each user will involve lot of work at client site, we thought of gettng the server name dynamically from the called form.
I hope the suggestion related to storing the report server name in env file and using tool_env.get_var should work. I will try out and get back on this.
Once thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopal.

Report server service not starting up in report 6i

I am trying to start report server service in windows 2000 server but it is not starting
up with following error in event viewer.
The Oracle Reports Server [arun] service terminated with service-specific error 186.
Any clue.

This error generally means there is a problem in the tnsnames.ora file. You are probably missing the needed entry for the Reports Server or the Reports Server name you are using contains special characters.
