REP-0186

I want to run the report server 3.0 on Solaris 2.6 machine.
But i am getting "REP-0186" error and this error
is not listed on the report errors info.
Any clues?
I have updated the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora

Thanks Tony -- that helped me on my NT installation too!

Unable to start report server on NT

I have installed Developer 6.0 (everything option) and I am
having trouble starting the report server (non-web method).
I installed it as an NT service and tried to start it and I also
tried the command line method: rwmts60 -listen mydatabase
I get the same error with both methods of launching the server:
REP-0186: Daemon failed to listen to port.
The troubleshooting docs point to a problem with the tnsnames.ora
or sqlnet.ora, but I am sure they are fine because I can connect
to the database via sqlplus and SQL Navigator.
Developer 6.0 is installed on NT 4.0 and the database is on a
Solaris machine running Oracle 7.3.4.0.1.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks;

Hello, Emad
I had the same problem until I called Oracle TechSupport and
here's what they told me to do:
(Assuming you are starting from scratch and Reports Queue
Manager is available)
1. In tnsnames.ora add this line(no spaces):
%report_server_name%.%your domain%)=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=%YOUR_TCPIP_ADDRESS%)(PORT=1949)
2. At cmd prompt type the following:
rwmts60 -install %report_server_name% tcpip
3. Install reports server(answer yes after completing step 2).
4. Go to control->panel->services select Oracle %
your_report_server_name% and click startup select log on
as='This Account' and select account. Then startup the service.
5. Open reports queue manager(make sure status says='running')
select job->new, and you are home free...
P.S. To test your reports server,at cmd prompt type :
rwcli60 report=c:/orant/bin/testreport.rdf userid=%
user/passw@sid% server=%report_server_name% destype=file
desname=test.pdf desformat=pdf.
Hope it helps...

Reports Service Fails with 186 error after Disocverer4i Admin Install

DB = 8.1.7
9iAS 1.0.2.1
Everything was working fine until the install of Disco4i Admin. I've performed a TNSPING80.EXE myserver & verified the TNSNames.ora configuration. Everything looks ok.

Verify the entry in the tnsnames.ora for the Reports Server. The string
should look something like this:
Rep60,Rep60.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<serverdnsname>)(PORT=1949))
Here is a cut from Doc ID 122038.1 on Metalink:
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
====================
After installing IAS Enterprise Edition, you attempt to start the Reports
Server Service (see below) and get the error:
REP-0186 - Daemon failed to listen to port.
For Windows NT:
Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Services-->Start Oracle Reports Server.
Get REP-186 error.
For UNIX:
Run the following Script:
$ORACLE_HOME/developer6i/reports60_server start.
SOLUTION DESCRIPTION:
=====================
WINDOWS NT 4.0 Server:
The primary cause for this error is that the Reports Server Service cannot
find a valid entry in the tnsnames.ora file. When the MTS starts, it tries
to read the entry in the $ORACLE_HOME\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora file. There
may be multiple files called tnsnames.ora on the machine. The following hint
may help in setting the default location for this file on the Windows NT
platform:
1. Click Start-->Run and type in REGEDIT; press enter; click OK.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE folder.
3. With this folder open, right-click in the right-hand pane and select New-->
String.
4. Enter "TNS_ADMIN" (w/o the quotes) for the new string.
5. Double-click on the new string, and enter the <drive>:\<path> to where your
centralized tnsnames.ora file is stored for string's value. This setting to
the registry will define a common TNS_ADMIN directory, allowing for a
central file to be managed.
6. Verify the entry in the tnsnames.ora for the Reports Server. The string
should look something like this:
Rep60,Rep60.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<serverdnsname>)(PORT=1949))
Where <serverdnsname> is the name of the DNS name of the server
(the server's IP address may also be used instead. "World"
is the name of the default domain in the sqlnet.ora file.
7. Navigate to Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Services, find the Oracle
Reports Server [<RepServerName>] and start the service.
a) If the Service still fails to start, ensure that there is a printer
(local or network) installed, and in the Control Panel-->Services, click
the Oracle Reports Server [<RepServerName>], and click the Startup
button.
b) Under the "Log on As" section, select "This Account", then click the
ellipsis (...) button. In the dialogue box that comes up, select a user
that has access to the system's printer, and type in the user's password,
(do this even if the asterisks (*) appear), and click OK. Legacy
versions required a printer driver be installed on the Server in order
to format document output, even when creating cached documents for the
web.
c) Restart the Reports Server Service.
UNIX:
The following examples assume that IAS is installed in:
/u01/app/oracle/product/ias
and the $ORACLE_HOME is defined as the same.
1. Edit the $ORACLE_HOME/developer6i/reports60_server script file, noting the
following (example) settings:
csh:
setenv TNS_ADMIN $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
bsh/ksh:
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
2. Define a printer per NOTE:74872.1 and set the PRINTER environment to match:
csh:
setenv PRINTER <queuename>
bsh/ksh:
export PRINTER=<queuename>
3. Verify the entry in the tnsnames.ora for the Reports Server. The string
should look something like this:
Rep60,Rep60.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<serverdnsname>)(PORT=1949))
Where <serverdnsname> is the name of the DNS name of the server
(the server's IP address may also be used instead). "World" is
the name of default domain in the sqlnet.ora file.
4. Now start the $ORACLE_HOME/developer6i/reports60_server script file.
EXPLANATION:
============
The IAS installation creates a TN S_ADMIN in the $ORACLE_HOME/developer6i
directory, but the Reports Server is not able to find it, due to the defaults
setup by the installer.

Can't start installer in updated Windows 2000 SP4?

Hello.
It looks like there a DLL problem (Unable to locate DLL (gdiplus.dll)) when starting the installer for u23 on two different updated W2K SP4 machines. :( u22 installer worked fine though! What's up? A bug?
I had to search for a gdiplus.dll in my HDDs and copy it next to the installer, and that worked. It looks like a bug! :(
Thank you in advance. :)

but I have add tnsnames.ora following

Server 6i - rwmts60 - startup problems

I'm attempting to start Oracle Reports Server 6i for the first time on a Solaris SPARC 2.6 platform, but am getting an error message.
"REP-0186: Daemon failed to listed to port."
I'm using the following script:
#begin
#!/bin/ksh
export REPORTS60_PATH=$HOME/report_src
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rwmts60 name=Rep60_tmsws01
#end
This is its tnsnames.ora entry:
Rep60_tmsws01=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=tmsws01.)(PORT=1949))
I've changed the port value in tnsnames.ora t o a couple of different values. I've also checked for duplicate report servers, but there are none.
I've also removed that little period after the name of my workstation.
Any Hints ?
null

Fixed my own problem.
There is a field in sqlnet.ora called name.default_zone. It was set to = world. So the server was assuming that the report server entry in tnsnames.ora ends in .world, which it wasn't.
Appending .world to the server name did the trick.

Problem in configuring Reports Server. Error-186

Dear All,
I have Developer6.0 on Windows NT with service pack 3 applied.
Problem is that the Report Server is not getting configured as an NT service .
after typing
rwsmts60 -install repserver
a Service is created in the Win NT Services
when I try to start
( I have a default printer )
the following error comes :
"The Oracle Reports Server (repserver )
service returned service specific error
186"
Secondly I tried not to use NT service
by
rwsmts60 -listen repserver
It gives the error
"REP-0186: Daemon failed to listen to port"
My Tnsnames.ora entry is
repserver.world = ( ADDRESS = ( PROTOCOL = TCP ) ( Host = 10.5.0.77 )
( Port = 1949 ) )
I tried different port no.s but still the error persists.
The report server and the OAS is on the same Machine and database is on a separate machine
I am following the White Paper at http://technet.oracle.com/products/reports/pdf/A55143.pdf

OAS listener

I have OAS 4.0.6 on NT.
Does anyone know what type of entry I need to make in
TNSNAMES.ORA to allow the reports server to start ?
I am getting the "expected" error REP-0186, but am not sure
exactly what it means. Port Number maybe ? Isn't that meant to
refer to the listener on the server ?
Any help gratefully received
null

If your listener is listening on port 80
you do not need to include :80 on your url.
To find your index.html by default specify
it as your initial file for the listener
under the listener server section
HTTP Listeners
<listener name>
Server => Initial File index.html
I assume you are using OAS 4.0

Reports Service failes with 186 error after Disco4i Admin install.

OS NT 2000
DB 8.1.7
9iAS 1.0.2.1
Disco Admin 4.1.33e
Everthing was working fine until the install of Disco4i Admin. It would error on the install until I stopped the Reports Service. Post install - The reports service failed to start. NT specific error 186.
I've performed a TNSPING80.EXE myserver & verified the TNSNames.ora configuration in 806, iSuites, and 8.1.7. Everything looks ok.

If you have set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable or registry key to an alternate value, Oracle9iAS Reports Services may fail to start with an error 186 or REP-0186. In such a case, you can start Oracle9iAS Reports Services from an MS-DOS command prompt as follows:
prompt> setenv TNS_ADMIN <IAS_HOME>/6iserver/network/admin
prompt> <IAS_HOME>/6iserver/reports60_server start
replacing <IAS_HOME> with the directory where you installed Oracle9i Application Server. This will force Oracle9iAS Reports Services to use the tnsnames.ora file at <IAS_HOME>/6iserver/network/admin.
Hope this will help

Rwcgi60 on SOLARIS

Hi,
I was trying to run rwcgi60 on solaris , Initially it gave error REP-0186, for which I made the entry in tnsnames.ora.Then copied the rwcgi60 in /usr/netscape/server4/docs/cgi-bin as we are using iplanet server.
Now when I give the URL http://ip-add/cgi-bin/rwcgi60 , it throws a blank page and I am unable to proceed further .The same thing works fine on NT
Do I need to do any more setting.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks,

Do you have a Frame Buffer installed on the Sun Machine ? What
is your Display variable pointing too ?
I have a similar problem on a sun box, which is a typical
enterprise setup with no graphic display connected to the

Running Reports 6i on Solaris 10 ?

We are trying to get several more months out of our Oracle Reports Server 6i installation before we scrap ORS for another reporting product. However, we need to replace our Solaris 8 reports servers with Solaris 10 servers before we can shut down ORS.
We have had good luck in the past copying the same 6i installation from machine to machine, but we were going from Solaris 8 to Solaris 8. I followed the same procedure moving to the Solaris 10 server, but I cannot get rwmts60 to start.
I get the standard "REP-0186: Daemon failed to listen to port" message.
Has anybody ever gotten this combination to work ? Do you remember what your ORS6i patch level was ? Did you need any Solaris 10 patches ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

Hello,
Even if it has never been certified (Reports 6i is desupported for a while now ...) , you can test to run rwrun60
rwrun60 report=test destype=file desname=/tmp/test.pdf desformat=pdf userid=scott/tiger@dbalias
If it works , rwmts60 should work too ...
About the error : REP-0186: Daemon failed to listen to port

And yes, I'm passing the correct code from the lookup_type. The only difference is that for the one that works, I'm using an Oracle seeded source lookup. However, in the lookups screen I can't see where there are any special configuration.
I should also mention that the invoices will be imported from an external system, and there will be no PO attached to the invoice. I'm not sure if this info is relevent though.
I've done some researching and thinking and maybe there is some kind of profile option I need to set but I haven't been able to find it yet.
Also, I can't find the AP_ERRORS_GT table or any other closely named ones.

Rep-1401: formula name : Fatal Pl/SQL error occured

Hi,
I am using report builder 6.0 and recently came across a error while running the report. Rep-1401:<formula name> : Fatal Pl/SQL error occured.
I created a formula column in the report. In that i have three local variable.
f_val number := 0;
s_val number := 0;
t_val number := 0;
t_val := f_val/s_val ; --> this gives the above fatal error.
t_val := (f_val + 1)/s_val; --> this gives the above fatal error
t_val := f_val/(s_val + 1); ---> no error
if i change the value of s_val
s_val := 1;
t_val := f_val/(s_val - 1) ; ----> this gives the above fatal error.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem or is it report builder bug.
Please help me, as i desperately need help.
Thanks

Thanks for ur reply.
I used nvl too, but the same error occurred.
For the information in my question I by mistake typed
t_val := (f_val + 1)/s_val; --> this gives the above fatal error.
but when the value of f_val = zero and s_val is zero why it gives fatal error when i divide, i used nvl on both the variable while dividing but still got the same error.
but if s_val is greater than zero then no error occurs.
please help me, I feel it is a bug.
