Remove a Report Server String

Hi,
I want to remove a redundant Report Server Address from my login screen in Word, but I can't see where the list of addresses is kept nor how to delete it from that screen. Does anyone know where the list is kept and/ or how to remove report server addresses?
Thanks
Richard

Hi Mohamed,
Generate a new report, it will overwrite the old one. There is no option to delete it from cucm admin page. If you are concerned about the time it took to generate the report the first time then restart the Database Layer Monitor and Tomcat services before running a fresh report. Tomcat needs to be restarted from CLI of the Pub ( utils service restart Cisco Tomcat ), it is case sensitive.

SQL blocking during removal of report server from Scale-out-Deployment

I recently removed a 2012 reporting service instance from the Reporting Service Scale-out-Deployment. After I removed the server, there was a lot of blocking on the report DB for about 30 minutes. My report DB is on the same SQL instance as
my TFS databases and the blocking caused web access for TFS and Visual Studio connections to fail during check-out/check-in.
Should I expect blocking to happen every time I remove a report server out of the Scale-out-Deployment?
Thanks,
KA

Hi KA,
I am trying to involve someone more familiar with this topic for a further look at this issue. Sometime delay might be expected from the job transferring. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Remove report server

Hi all,
i've registered my standalone report server in Application Server Control with
addNewServerTarget.bat <...>.
How can i remove it from Application Server Control?
Shall i delete the corresponding lines in opmn.xml and targets.xml or i need to do more?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

You can delete the reports service and recreate it by using rwmts60/rwserver utility.
1. Update tnsnames.ora with the correct name of the reports service and then use
rwmts60 -install Rep60_xyz autostart=no batch=yes

SCOM 2012 R2 Report Server component install to SQL 2012 Sp1 error?

Hi All
Im having issues installing SCOM 2012 R2 Report Server component to a SQL 2012 Sp1 Server (which is a Windows 2012 R2 Standard server). Im trying to install to the SQL Default server instance, note that the server also has a named instance
which hosts the SCOM databases. SQL Reporting Services is up and running fine (can access the web urls etc). Im also using the SCOM install account wich has full SQL and SCOM Server admin rights for the install. Ive checked that the Firewall
is off locally on the SQL Server, Ive also checked that the existing SCOM components are all in a Healthy state in the SCOM console.
The installed version of SQL Server could not be verified or is not supported. Verify that the computer and the installed version of SQL Server meet the minimum requirements for installation, and that the firewall settings are correct. See the Supported
Configurations document for further information.
Ive attempted the install on a standalone SQL Server away from the SQL Server hosting the SCOM databases, but encounter the same error. The full SCOM MSI Installer log details are below, line that appears most relevant is below but unsure why
this would be the case (same account that I used for SQL install etc). Any help much appreciated! : )

Detach the contentdb from SP and then reattach it. To do that you'd run this command:
STSADM -o deletecontentdb -url https://******.com -databasename whateverdb
Then to add it back you'd do:
STSADM -o addcontentdb url https://******.com -databasename whateverdb
Thank you Mike Yin, I have confirmed that this solution works, I had the exact issue, my investigation steps are in this order:
1. Verify if there is a orphaned site (use stsadm.exe -o enumsites or stsadm -o enumallwebs or Test-SPContentDatabase
2. On my case I found the site orphaned on the root url [/] so I cannot just do a stsadm -o deletesite -force -siteid, so I did is to Remove Content from the CA and then re-add the content db back using CA. (Application Management > open the affected
Content DB and click the Remove content database checkbox. Then click Add a content Database, and re-add the same contentDB.
3. Verify in the RS Config Manager and click the RS Web Service URL, to see if works.

Rename a reporting server

I am working on a side by side upgrade and migrade of a reporting server to a new server from 2008r2 to 2012. Standard edition.
I will call it ServerA- old server, ServerB - new server.
Both server has db engine and reporting service installed. Standalone and native mode.
So far I have taken these steps:
1. Do all the backups of database and some configuration files and encryption key.
2. Installed SQL 2012 on ServerB and restore ReportServer and ReportServertempdb from ServerA backup to ServerB.
3. In reporting server configuration manager of ServerB, databse setup page, change database and reconnect.
4. restore encryption key from ServerA to ServerB.
5. I open the report server manager website, it gives error The feature: "Scale-out deployment" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services, I go the the reportsever databse and delete the key that is associated with the oldServerName.
Everything works fine so far.
Now we have a plan to swap the server name this weekend.
That means I will change the servername of ServerB back to ServerA, and take the old ServerA offline.
This way the developers have no need to change the connection string that in their applications.
But my question comes:
Steps I am going to do:
1, Take offline ServerA. Network admin will rename ServerB to ServerA.
I will then change SQL server name by using Sp_dropServer and Sp_addServer .
2. Then open Reporting server configuration tool, database setup page, -change databse button from there to change servername.
My question is next step:
In the scale -out deployment, will servername change from ServerB to ServerA automatically? or will it have both ServerA and ServerB there?
If both, I will have to remove one. Which one should I remove? Or should I do another encryption key restore?
Or should I update the record in reportserver.dbo.keys table to update the table name from ServerB to ServerA?
Thanks
SQLFriend

It is a good reminder to make a DNS record to Point to ServerB. Our network admin didn't mention that option to me. If renaming option won't work, I will try that.
I thought to rename it may be a more cleaner way and do not cause confusion.
It is easy to rename SQL server with only DB engine and SSIS installed, for reporting server it is a little tricky.
Especially on the Scale-out deployment screen, which is not well documented if having multiple servers showing there. We only need one server to show there, so no need to use Enterprise edition.
Because for now I cannot test it , I have to see what will show on that screen exactly when we do the server swap and rename time on Friday. Two servers or only one?
I know a couple of ways to remove the server from that screen: but for this case, I wonder should I delete the ServerB on the screen, or delete ServerA and rename ServerB item in the reportserver.dbo.keys table? the installationID part confuse me.
Just thought if someone in this forum have experience of that or know exactly the scale out deployment and table/schema work?

OPMN Can't Find In-Process Reports Server

Hi,
OracleAS 10g (9.0.4.2), Middle-tier, BI_Forms installation.
When I attempt to restart the in-process Reports server with Enterprise Manager 10g (9.0.4), I get the following error:
An error occurred while restarting "Reports Server: rep_204".
An error occurred while talking to OPMN. Could not find entity for "rep_204".
However, if I restart the OC4J_BI_Forms component, the in-process Reports server restarts normally.
I removed the <security></security> tags and the "securityId=" from the job tags in the Report server's .conf file per Oracle Note:210224.1. I also changed SINGLESIGNON=YES to SINGLESIGNON=NO in the rwservlet.properties file. No other configuration chages have been made - this is fresh middle-tier install. Our application does not use Single Sign-On (which is enabled by default for Reports servers).
I know in-process Reports servers exist in the OC4J_BI_Forms instance, but is it possible to restart them without restarting OC4J? Or is the inclusion of a "Restart" button on the in-process Reports server's control page just one of those "to be added" features?

Hi Evris,

Hi all
From long time i am trying to run the report server in Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production) without Network( IP) configuration.But i did not do it.But
its working fine with IP address.Is it possible to run report server without IP addresss? Help me out thanks in advance.
sarah

In rwnetwork.conf in $oh/reports/
- remove or commented the following
<multicast channel="228.5.6.7" port="14021" timeout="1000" retry="3"/>
- And then uncommented
<namingService name="Cos" host="%NAMING_HOST%" port="%NAMING_PORT%"/>
- replace the
%NAMING_HOST% with your computer name or specify an IP address
%NAMING_PORT% with 14021
execute in the command line : namingservice.bat 14021
(To shutdown the namingservice, use : namingservice.bat 14021 shutdown)
try restarting the reports server and test ..
hope it helps

Report runs in Report Builder but hangs in Report Server

Hi,
I am using Oracle Reports 10g to build a report with many formula columns. Everything was working perfectly till I added some condition in a query in formula columns. After adding it, report is not working in Report Server but runs only in Report Builder. If I removed this condition, report runs OK but I need it. This condition is very simple, just filtering be a decoded column (i.e. stts = 'D')
Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem?

Hi,
what is the application server version you are running your reports on?
If it is 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.2 and you are using PDF SUBSETTING (check the [PDF:Subset] section in the uifont.ali file in your server) then you are most probably facing Bug:5029259 . To resolve the issue read further Doc ID 363868.1 in Oracle Support. In short, your options are:
1. apply patchset 10.1.2.3 or maybe patch 5029259 is enough.
2. or make sure no NULL values are returned in the report. Use nvl where possible. If there was no problem before making the changes then maybe checking the new formula columns would be enough. I made this change myself when facing this issue and it appears that this resolved the problem.
3. or change REPORTS_ENHANCED_SUBSET to NO in windows registry if under windows or $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh if under linux. REPORTS_ENHANCED_SUBSET=YES is necessary if you are using TTF subsetting, though. So this might not be an option.

Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
Anyway, rant over!!
Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
[libdefaults]
    default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    dns_lookup_kdc = true
    dns_lookup_realm = true
    udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
    kdc = DC.CO.UK
    default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

Hi Roberto,
With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
Thank you
Don

How to print a report on crystal report server using webservice call

Unable to connect to the 2014 SQL Developer's Edition Report Server

Hello,
I have been through the wringer trying to gain access to my report service. I have to admit that I am something of a neophyte with regards to SQL Server but I am pretty good with Windows 7 management in general. I have just installed
SQL 2014 Developer's Edition under Windows 7 SP1. I have connected to the database engine server and loaded a couple of databases. I chose windows authentication and can get into the report configuration manager and the SQL server configuration
manager with no problems. I have registered the URLs for both the web and report manager. I can connect to all of the other instances (database engine, analysis services, and integration services). I have to run with administrator privileges
to connect to the integration services but it does not make any difference when attempting to connect to the reporting service either through report builder 3 or connect through object explorer. I can find no relevant errors in the RS log even after
enabling logging. I have been through many of the articles I could find online but nothing seems to resolve the problem. When connecting it shows Windows Authentication and the correct domain\user. I also browse to find the service so the
URL should be correct. The error that I am getting is as follows:
"Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService. The specified URL might not be valid or there might be a problem with the report server version or configuration. Specify a different URL, or contact your server administrator to verify that
the report server runs SQL Server 2008 or later. Additionally, if you are trying to connect to a SharePoint-integrated report server, verify that SharePoint is installed on the server and that the report server uses SharePoint integrated mode. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)"
Program Location:
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSClientConnection.CreateConnection()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSConnectionInfo.GetRSConnectionObject(Boolean ensureOpenConnection)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSConnectionInfo.RSTypeImpl.ProceedWithConnection(UIConnectionInfo ci)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConnectionDlg.RSType.Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConnectionDlg.IServerType.ProceedWithConnection(UIConnectionInfo ci)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConnectionDlg.Connector.ConnectionThreadUser()
I have tried fixing the installation with the installation disk, removing the report service instance and reinstalling it, using the administrator account instead of mine (with is of course an administrator). I'm at a loss right now. I have spent
about 12 hours trying to track this down and so far nothing has worked. I'm about ready to reinstall the entire operating system and start all over. I thought that I would try this venue before going to that extreme.
Any thoughts, questions, or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

"Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService.
Hello Tom,
It should be "ReportServer" in the URL, not "ReportService".
In "Reporting Service Configuration Manager" look up the correct URL. Open Internet Explorer with right-mouse click => "Run as Administrator" and open the URL, this should work. Navigate to "Side setting" (on top right side),
go to tab "Security" and add your account with role "System Administrator". Afterwards you should be able to open the URL without running IE as admin.

I. Brief summary on the architecture of Reports Server, CGI and Reports Servlet
=================================================================================
In order to understand the causes of the error "Unable to communicate with the
Reports Server", let's first briefly review the Reports Runtime Engines, Reports
Server, the Reports CGI, and Reports Servlet architecture.
There are 4 important layers in Reports Server architecture which should be
understood in order to clearly understand the error "Unable to communicate with
the Reports Server" :
1) The Runtime Engines : This is the main layer where the reports are actually
executed. On unix systems there are "rwrun60" and on NT systems there are
"rwrun60.exe" processes.
2) The Reports Server : The Reports Server recieves the job request and queues
it. When one of its runtime engines becomes available, it sends the
command line to that runtime engine for execution. On Unix systems it is
the "rwmts60" executable and on NT systems it is "rwmts60.exe".
3) The Reports CGI : The Reports Web CGI passes the request to the Reports Server.
The Reports CGI or Servlet converts the request to a command line that can be executed by the Reports Server and
submits it to the specified Reports Server. On Unix platforms this executable
is "rwcgi60" and on NTs it is "rwcgi60.exe.
4) The Reports Servlet : Its functionality and function is just the same as "Reports CGI", but it is
a program written in Java as difference to the CGI program (which is
written in C programming language).
The Reports Server may be running on the same server with the CGI program (or
servlet) OR may reside totally on another machine which does not necessarily have
the same Operating System. For instance CGI may reside in a Windows NT machine
while the Reports server may reside on a Unix box, or any other combination with
Unix-Linux-NT-2000, etc.
The reports are called with a URL similar to below with the CGI :
http://fully.qualified.server.name:PORT/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=<REPSERVER>&other_parameters=...........
where fully.qualified.server.name is the name of the server where the Reports CGI
reside, and <REPSERVER> is the name of the server.
II. Sources of errors encountered when running a report with Reports Server
============================================================================
The Reports Web CGI (or the Reports Servlet) makes a call to the Reports Server
and asks it to place the output into some destination (defined by DESTYPE and
DESNAME parameters), then gives back the necessary response to the calling
program. For example if the DESTYPE is "cache", then the Reports server generates
the report to a file in a temporary place and gives it back to CGI and the CGI gives
it back to the calling program. Otherwise, if the DESTYPE is "file", the Reports Server
generates the report output to the requested file and the CGI replies back the
following message : "Report output was successfully written to requested
destination.".
If there is any error in this process, the related error message is returned. The
possible sources of errors can be categorized as follows :
1) The errors that are returned from Reports Server; like the Reports Server can
not find the requested RDF file or the report may be run to file and the
directory where the reports output is asked to be placed does not occur or
similar errors. (Usually the REP-XXXX errors)
2) Another possible cause of error is the errors returned by the RDBMS to the
Reports Server, for example a table not found error or things like that. Of
course from the CGI point of view these errors are again transmitted from the
Reports Server but in fact the error originates from the RDBMS. (Usually the
ORA-XXXX errors)
3) Another possible cause of errors is the CGI itself, for example when the CGI
executable can not connect to the requested Reports Server, then we get the
famous "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server". In this document we will
diagnose the common reasons of this last error.
III. How the CGI (or the Reports Servlet) communicates with the Reports Server
===============================================================================
Having said that "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Unable to communicate with the
Reports Server." error is returned back from the CGI itself, let's discuss the
issue of how the Reports CGI connect to the Reports Server. The name of the
Reports Server given in the URL with "server=....." parameter is, in fact, just
a special tnsnames alias, similar to aliases for database connect strings. As it is
important for the CGI to resolve the alias, the CGI needs to know the HOST name (or the
IP) of the machine where the Reports Server is running and the port on which the
Reports Server is listening. So a typical Reports Server alias is defined as follows :
REP60_<MACHINE>=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = <MACHINE>)(PORT = <PORT>))
This is defined in tnsnames.ora file, and the sqlnet.ora file is also used in
the name resolving operation.
IV. Possible reasons which lead to "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error.
==========================================================================================
The possible reasons for the "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error :
1) Reports Server is up and running :
Make sure that the Reports Server is really running on the specified server
and listening on the specified port. For details have a look at above
explanations for tnsnames alias of the reports server. And because of this the
CGI could not establish a connection to the Reports Server.
2) tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora problems :
As described above, the CGI resolves the details for the reports server using
the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora" files. There may be a problem with them,
here are the possible configuration problems :
a) There is no alias in the tnsnames.ora file for this Reports Server
b) The CGI looks into the wrong directory for the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora"
files. By default the CGI checks the $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory for
these scripts, where the $ORACLE_HOME is the home of the Forms & Reports
installation. Please note that in a typical 9iAS 1.0.X installation there
are two ORACLE_HOME's, one is for the iAS and the other is for the tools,
usually the home for the tools is a directory with name "806" on NT and
"6iserver" on unix systems. By defining TNS_ADMIN in the environment, one
can override the search path for these two files.
The TNS_ADMIN variable can be defined in one of the following places :
i) In the environment : On MS Windows platforms check the "Settings
--> Control Panel --> System". On NTs check the environment TAB and in
Win2K systems check the "Environment Variables" button on Advanced tab.
ii) In "6iserver.conf" file. Details are as follows : The main configuration
file for Apache server is "httpd.conf" file which resides in
$IAS_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory. In this file there is a line to
include "oracle_apache.conf" and in this "oracle_apache.conf" file
there is a line to include "$ORACLE_HOME/conf/6iserver.conf" file. And
in this file the TNS_ADMIN variable could be defined as follows :
SetEnvIf Request_URI "rwcgi60" TNS_ADMIN=c:\orant\network\ADMIN
Please note that by defining it this way, the TNS_ADMIN will only be defined
for "rwcgi60" calls, so the other parts of the 9iAS will not be affected by
this setting.
c) In sqlnet.ora the "names.default_domain" is set but in tnsnames.ora the
domain is not defined in the alias description. For example if the
"names.default_domain=world" is present and active in "sqlnet.ora" file
then in the "tnsnames.ora" the alias of the reports server should also have
the ".world" extension appended at the end. And another cause is of course
the vice versa for this. If there is no "names.default_domain" is defined
in the "sqlnet.ora" then the alias in "tnsnames.ora" should not have the
domain extension.
Another important point that should be checked is, if TNS_ADMIN is defined
as described above then the search path is as follows, first the directory
defined by TNS_ADMIN is searched, if the "tnsnames.ora" file is not found in
this directory then $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin is checked. (And on unix systems
/var/opt/oracle is also checked). These directories are only checked if the file
is not present, so if the "tnsnames.ora" file is present in TNS_ADMIN directory
but the alias is not present, then the other directories are not checked at all.
Let us assume that the tnsnames.ora file is present in the TNS_ADMIN directory but
there is no "sqlnet.ora" files here, then the sqlnet.ora file is checked in
$ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory, which could cause the same problem if the
"names.default_domain" is defined in this file.
All the above will result in, CGI to unable to resolve the alias in tnsnames.ora
file so it will not be able to establish a connection to the Reports Server.
3) Wrong "ORACLE_HOME" setting :
Wrong ORACLE_HOME setting. This is usually the case for Reports Servlet,
because the environment settings are defined in "jserv.properties" file for the
servlets and the setting here will effect both the Reports Servlet and the
setting for Oracle JSP and other servlets. So the other servlets or Oracle JSP
may need to set ORACLE_HOME to home of HTTP server while the reports server needs
it to be set to the TOOLS_HOME directory. In this case the best alternative is
not to set ORACLE_HOME in this directory and leave it to registry or defined the
ORACLE_HOME in "6iserver.conf" file just like the TNS_ADMIN defined above. For
details please have a look at the following document :
Note 179609.1 "Getting an error Unable to communicate with the Reports Server
using RWSERVLET"
4) Effect of parameter "maxconnect" :
Another common case for this error is that the CGI request reaches the Reports Server but
the Reports Server refuses connection. The main cause for this case is, that the Reports Server
configuration parameter "maxconnect" is defined too low, there are long running reports on the
server or the server is too busy at that time. Usually a second try some
later time results in a successful connection. If this is the case, the end user
may think that the problem is occasional. For details on this case please
have a look at the following document :
Note 125265.1 "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server"
5) Passing very large parameters to reports server :
Another known reason for this error is, if you are passing large parameters
to the Reports Server which exceeds sqlnet transmission blocks then the request may
end up with this error. To test it try with small parameter values. If you hit
this case, the solution is to increase the SDU (Session data unit size) and the TDU
(Transport unit data size) parameters in tnsnames.ora file, for details please
have a look at the following document :
Note 197358.1 "Passing large parameters to Reports show up a Reports Server
error"
6) A case specific to OAS 4.0.8.2 :
If you are using OAS instead of iAS, and the error appeared after
upgrading to 4.0.8.2 then this is caused because the 4.0.8.2 is using RSF
(Required Support Files) version 8.1.6 and the Reports 6i is using 8.0.6 and the
two could not reside in the same ORACLE_HOME directory. So the solution for this
problem is to create a new batch file and use it from which the actual CGI
executable is called. For details please see the following document :
Note 116754.1 "After applying OAS 4.0.8.2 CGI and Cartridge cannot communicate
to report server"
7) A case specific to WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 :
Another known case for this error is with WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 or less.
If you are using these old versions of WEBDB as HTTP listener, please have a
look at the following document :
Note 95426.1 "URL Not Found When Calling Oracle Developer Report from WebDB Site"

On Windows you can create a Report Services:
rwserver -install server=repserverYou have to choose different names for all servers, like your collegue cannot create a server with the same name. You can start/stop this Report server in Services (control panel). Configuration files can be found under $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf
