Renaming 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 OC4J container was named to repserver1. Which meant switching between app servers was 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

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

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.

Rename report server in oracle application server 10g

dear all
using oracle enterprise manager how can i changer report server name to any name
tanks

Assuming new reports server name repalex
1. In the $OH/reports/conf copy the existing reportserver.conf to the new conf file
(repalex.conf)
2 In the rwservlet.conf specify the new reports server name
(SERVER_NAME=REPALEX)
3 In the $OH/emd/sysman/targets.xml replace the reference to the old reports server with the new reports server name.
4. Restart the EM. And you can see the new reports server in EM.

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,
Francesco Rizzello

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?

Report not run inexplorer and report server not start

sir
i install dev suit 10g and
1. create new form and test that run in explorer
2. create report and test in report builder that run and give right result, but when i test in explorer that not run and no error and report server OC4J not start i try but window appear and hide
please give me idea how run report in explorer
regard
fahim

The normal procedure for the Developer Suite is:
1. Start OC4J instance via Windows Start menu.
2. Run a report:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/reports/rwservlet?module=....
That doesn't work?
Can you see the in-process report server?
http://127.0.0.1:8889/reports/rwservlet/showenv?
Or errors in the job queue?
http://127.0.0.1:8889/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?
(note that your port number may be different)

After restart Oracle Report Server some reports start automatically to run.

When our report server is restarted always a number of reports are started automatically.
I don't know why these are started automatically?
Is there a avoid starting these reports?

Hello,
If you are storing the jobs on the database then please check:
Using the Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table and API - RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE (Doc ID 72531.1)
otherwise just rename the report server .dat files
1- Go to $ORACLE_HOME/reports/server directory
2- Rename Reports Server dat file.
Unix example :
mv reports_server_name.dat reports_server_name.dat.old
3- Try again to start Reports Server
Possible causes of the issue are:
1.scheduled jobs
or
2.restart of report server while some jobs were waiting in the queue

Alex

OC4J Report Server

Does anyone know if Oracle will be releasing a version of Reports that will have the ability to load in a standalone OC4J container and not require the full App Server. I ask this because I have not found any reporting tool with the power and ease of use as Oracle Reports but if I want to build a small departmental app with reporting capabilities to showing intermedia images and the report development ease a report builder there is nothing available, that I have found so far.

Yes, there is one. Search on rwserver.exe on the Reports forum and/or Metalink. You'll find information. This will get you started...
First, you need to create a Windows service for the local report service. Replace the drive information below with yours. RepSrv is the name you want to assign to the service. I can.
D:\Oracle\OraDS\bin\rwserver.exe -install RepSrv |yes
Then go into the Windows Services and start the RepSrv service.

When Starting OC4J, why the report server doesn't start automatically? !!

Dear All,
I have DS 10g on my system and I start the OC4J when I have to run either forms or reports.
But when I attend to start the do the following command from the form:
WEB.SHOWDOCUMENT(..../getjobid<jobid>?server=<servername>...), I have an error: FRM-41213: Unable to connect to the report server <servername>.
I noticed that if I run the following URL:http://<server>:.../reports/rwservlet, it gives me a list of command, but the server still not running..But if I add any command to the above URL like for example "getserverinfo" or "showjobs" then the server is started. Now, and after the command, if we return back and we run the report from the form, the report will run successfully.
The question WHY??
Regards,
Joe

Hello,
That's the way it works ...

2.1.3.1 Starting the In-process Server (Windows and UNIX)
If you are using Reports Server as an in-process server (the default configuration), sending a run report request starts the in-process server; however, if you are sending a request through a command line, the servlet must be invoked first using either the run report URL or the Web command URL. When you have successfully started the servlet, this also means you have successfully started the in-process server.
If you use "Oracle Application Server", the "in-process" reports server will be started automatically by opmn ...

Anyone can help me?

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?

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;

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.
