Rep-0501 Unable to Connect to Specified Database

We are getting error Rep-501 when trying to run reports from a form. The program modules are as follows:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.2.0 Production
TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 10.2.0.2.0 - Productio
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.2.0 - Production
Please note that everything else is working fine. The reports run fine through the reports developer.
Any help appreciated.

Hello,
A Remark about {oracle_home_infra}\bin
Reports is installed in the "Middle Tier" ORACLE_HOME, So you should use the tnsping provided in [oracle_home_middle_tier}\bin
On windows , TNS_ADMIN can be set as an environment variable :
ex : set TNS_ADMIN=c:\mytns
or in the file opmn.xml
ex:
<ias-component id="<RSName>" status="enabled" id-matching="false">
<process-type id="ReportsServer" module-id="ReportsServices">
<process-set id="<RSName>" restart-on-death="true" numprocs="1">
<environment>
<variable id="PATH" value="your_shell_path"/>
<variable id="TNS_ADMIN" value="c:\mytns"/>
</environment>

Unable to connect to specified database

I am using Reports 6i as part of a iAS server.
From my application I can request a report and have it produced
and then try running it again and have it return the message
REP-0501 Unable to connect to specified database. There is no
pattern to when it works and when it doesn't. It does seem to
fail more when you change to a different report but it will also
happen if you try the same report.
I've checked the tnsnames file and it correctly has the database
information.
It is also happening on a second server as well. Both are new
installs. Both iAS servers are NT connected to a Unix database.
Connection to the database is done by a name server and
connections using SQLPLUS have no problem.
Critical issue to user, any ideas?

This is a bug and is fixed in 10.1.2.3. Bug#5691620

I developed the report in 10g Report Builder. and moved to 1.5.10.2 instance... ran that report in my report builder using apps user and..it is running fine in my report builder.

hi bsubbu
your password of custom application user schema at database level should be similar with the password at application level
for instance your custom application schema name and password is xxgis/xxgis , we register this schema at application site by this navigation
security> oracle > register >database username (xxgis) > password (xxgis)
here you might have change your custom application user's password at database level using
alter user xxgis identified by newpassword;
change this user password at application site also :
security> oracle > register> database username (xxgis) > password (newpassword)
i understand this from the document

REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database in Report Server

I Get a 'REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database' error, when trying to call a report from a button on a Forms 10g application, through a report object:
A portion of the code button:
report_id := find_report_object('REPORT');
set_report_object_property(report_id, report_destype, cache);

job_number := length(servidor_rep) + 2;
WHILE rep_status IN ('RUNNING', 'OPENING_REPORT', 'ENQUEUED') LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(report_job_id);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN

This application does not fail in other databases, only in which I have the problem.
The connection to the database through the SQLPLUS and other applications works well. The error is presented only when calling reports from the application.
Another point is that the problem is presented with some users and not with others even they have the same conditions as roles, profiles, grant objects, etc.
If i run my report with the following url applying directly on address bar of web browser then it run fine on web browser
http://hostname.domain:port/reports/rwservlet?report=myreport.jsp&userid=un/pw@db&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
OAS 10g and Database are on different machines.
Please... any idea about this problem?
Thanks!!

I use a report object, imagine that sends connect information when creating the Job in the reports server.
However the same problem happens if I call to report from the Internet Explorer with all parameters of connectivity, for example;
http://hostname.domain:port/reports/rwservlet?report=myreport.rep&userid=un/pwdb@&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
The only difference in this database is that it is configured in a RAC and as I mentioned the problem occurs with some users and not with others, even if they are identical.
Thank for your help!

Hi,
My report server can function nicely, always I can retrieve my report but I am also constantly facing the error when running report after a few minutes having my report servers on function.
Terminated with error: <br>REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
I have 2 oracle home in my server, 1 is 9i (used for ODBC to connect to my database) and 1 more is 10g where my application server is.
My both my TNS files have all the entries of the database server. In fact, we gets reports perfectly OK without problem until a certain time when the error pops up.
Pls help

I did not check the timeout because all reports were generated within seconds.

I also deleted the cookies an cache. Nothing seems to be working so far. I have the lastest version of Firefox 8.0.1 as well as Roboform 7. I noticed that the latest Firefox version has (x86) tagged to it. Does it refers to an 86 bits because my computer uses 32 or 64 bits only.

After 11g upgrade "REP - 501: Unable to connect...."

Hi All,
There is a problem in one of our application which is deployed on 10g AS(10.1.2.0). The database it was connecting was upgraded to 11.2.0.3 from 10gR2.
A report is not getting executed from a form. But from web browser the report is working in standalone. Below i have checked so far.
Error I am getting:
REP - 501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
1. Disabled case sensitive login in the 11g database.
2.Used FORMS_USERNAME_CASESENSITIVE = 1 in ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/default.env.
3.Checked for zrclient.jar and rwrun.jar in classpath env variable.
4.Changed Service_name to sid in the tns connect string.
5.Restarted the whole opmn stack.
6.Run the form in debug mode and find the username,password and connect string it is throwing to report is OK. I can connect through sqlplus.
No error in forms server log in opmn or in report server.
Please help.
Now where to look at?
Regards,
Gourab

2) try running the report through the below url

3)Trace the form and try running the report (u can google how to trace a form in 10gAS),errors would be mentioned in the trace file.The trace file will be generated in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/trace

FabianThanks for your reply.
1. tnsping is ok.
2. reports is working in this way. Problem was when calling from forms.
3. did not tried the trace. Before that the root cause of the problem was found.
Well you may say this is a mistake from my side. The URL that was being generated by the form was with wrong report server name. The application has the capability to fetch the report server name from the server and store in a db table. From that table the report server name is read and URL is made. Don't know why, some developer wrote the report server name in the form instead of fetching it from the db. So there was a mismatch of the report server name and it was not running. All I was having access was screenshot of the error and the logs. So I missed out the URL.

Unable to connect to MySQL Database using MX

I am unable to connect to MySQL database hosted on a remote
server. I get the following error message:
"HTTP Error Code 404 File Not Found. Here are some possible
reason for the problem:
1) There is no testing server running on the server machine.
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to
the

URL. Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site."
I have specified a testing server. My url is "

For the URL prefix to the site's root folder, I listed the
following:
1.
http://72.9.255.2/~keyitems/
this did not work. I got the above error message.
2.
http://72.9.255.2/ this did not work
also. I got the above error message.
Any input would be great as I do not know where to start !!!
Thank you

Hi Ravi
Glad to hear you solved this. It is very gratifying when one solves it alone, don't you think?

Unable to connect to 10g database from developer suite 10g

I have loaded oracle 10g on my server with OS windows 2003 and it is working fine.Now I have installed Oracle developer suite 10g on windows XP client . we have configured local listener also and its entry is found in tnsnames.ora
My database name is mbxdata .
I have defined my host name as
MBXDATA.mbxnet.com in tnsnames but I am unable to connect to the database since I get error as ORA-12154 : TNS :could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Please suggest matter urgent.
Thanks in advance

We are having the same issue now. Was this ever resolved? We created 2 new databases and added those entries in both tnsnames on the local pc, and the tnsnames on the application server. Able to connect via sqlplus, toad, etc. but not through forms developer. We are running 10g app server, 10g developer suite, 10g databases. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Unable to Connect to the database in RCU, Oracle11g XE on Laptop/Windows

Software downloaded unzipped and installed from OTN
OBIEE foundation 11.1.1.5
Repository Creation Utility 11.1.1.5
Oracle Database Express Edition 11.2
Issues
1. I installed Oracle 11g express edition. I am able to start/stop and run sql against the database however the homepage ("get started " accessed from Start > Programs > Oracle Database 11g XE > Get Started) does not work. This i will post in a separate thread but I am writing this anyway just in case it has some relevance.
2, This is the one I need help with. Can you confirm that these are the parameters when I hit the "create" option in RCU because I get the error message saying I cannot connect.
Hostname:This is the same as the hostname, when I go to cmd prompt like below
C:>hostname<enter> That is what I am using.
Port and Service :Can you confirm, Port = "1521" and Service = "XE". 1521 is the Database listener port when I installed Oracle 11g Database Express Edition. I am not putting the quotes in the boxes in the RCU.
Should the service be OracleServiceXE - i have tried it but does not work.
Anyway I get this message:
Unable to connect to the database using the provided details.
Please enter a valid hostname and port or check if the listener is up and running.
Any ideas appreciated.

Hi,
Like Abhi said, check your tnsnames.ora file to check the port number and service name is correct or not for the Express Edition database you have installed.
and when you are running RCU installer, Please give system adminstrator account of OracleXE like 'sys' or 'system' account with confirmed port number and service name.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Bose

INS0009: Unable to connect to the database with user SYS

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an OWB repository with OWB repository assistant (10.2.0.2.) on a 10.2.0.1. database (windows XP platform). I get the following error every time I fill in the connect info for the SYS user:
INS0009: Unable to connect to the database with user SYS. java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I can connect to the database (sqlplus sys/<password>@orcl as sysdba) and the OS user is in the ora_dba group. Also checked the database parameters remote_login_passwordfile (= EXCLUSIVE) and O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY=TRUE.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Quinten

Ok I found the problem myself, I used the wrong sys password :-(. I thought the password I used to logon in sqlplus was right (sqlplus sys/<password>@orcl as sysdba) but the password doesn't matter when you logon as sysdba! So I altered the password for the user sys and now I can continue the steps of the repository assistant.
