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.

that's a good question for the report-forum. Maybe there are more report-gurus than here in the forms-forum.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

How to rename Report Server

I would like to rename my report server that I see listed in OEM. I was reading the documentation on forms/reports integration and it states that there cannot be an underscore in the report server name. My report server does have an underscore. I would like to take this out, any ideas on how I can do this?
btw, I am running 9ias v9.0.2 on win2000
thanks,
jim

Here are the instructions from my documentation. It contains info specific to my site, but you can just make the changes for yours:
Deborah
Adding the New Reports Server to Enterprise Manager
During 9iAS installation, reports servers are automatically registered with OEM. If you add a reports server (ocareports, for example) after installation, AND you want OEM to manage it, you must manually register the server with OEM.
 Edit the targets.xml file located in the Oracle-Home/sysman/emd directory. (Before making changes, please make a backup of the file).
 Using the following syntax, enter the information about the new reports server. The ocareports server information is used as an example:
<Target TYPE="oracle_repserv" NAME="ocareports.vdacs.state.va.us" DISPLAY_NAME="Reports:ocareports.vdacs.state.va.us" VERSION="1.0" ON_HOST="strawberries.vdacs.state.va.us">
 <Property NAME="OracleHome" VALUE="/orabif/oracle/product/9ias"/>
 <Property NAME="UserName" VALUE="orcladmin"/>
 <Property NAME="Servlet" VALUE="http://strawberries.vdacs.state.va.us:7778/reports/rwservlet"/>
 <Property NAME="Server" VALUE="ocareports"/>
<Property NAME="Password" VALUE="acd4d1ea44605372" ENCRYPTED="TRUE"/>
 <Property NAME="host" VALUE="strawberries.vdacs.state.va.us"/>
 <CompositeMembership>
 <MemberOf TYPE="oracle_ias" NAME="9ias2.strawberries.vdacs.state.va.us" ASSOCIATION="null"/>
 </CompositeMembership>
 </Target>
 The user name and password are for the reports services administrator account (ias_admin). Initially the password entry should be entered as xxxxxx and encrypted should be set to false. OEM will encrypt the password and reset encrypted to true.

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!

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
Regards
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.

Upgrade oc4j container from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3

Hi to all,
We use oc4j container 10.1.2 for old applications, but now we have developed ajax applications using oracle maps, but if i'm riight 10.1.2 doesn't support oracle maps.
I've tried to install oracle application server oc4j container 10.1.3 in the same machine(i must use the same machine with red hat 3.4.4 opertive system) but i see a lot of conflicts with 10.1.2 and i cannot install that properly.
Is there any possobility to upgrade oracle application server oc4j container without having a metalink account?Is there a patch or something similar?
Thank you,

There shouldn't be any problems, I have in the same server one 10.1.2 App Server and a 10.1.3 and no conflicts, only when I installed I had the first App Server up, so the second recognize the ports used and it use a diferent one for his components.
Can you tell about your conflicts?

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.
