REP-3002 in Reports 6i in Solaris 10

Hi all,
My report server 6i is running in Solaris machine 5.10, we installed a printer on the same mechine. When we try to run rwbld60 and we click in Choose printer, we are getting the following message:
REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed.
We have added the configuration of our printer in $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon60/tk60/admin/uiprint.txt, we have set read and write permission to the uiprint.txt file.
How we could resolve this problem?
Thanks

We have set the DESFORMAT variable to DFLT but we are getting the same error. When we click in Choose Printer in rw60bld we get the error REP-3002 (Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed) and when we try to run the command: rwrun60 we get the error:REP-0713: Invalid printer name 'fuenla" specified by parameter where fuenla is the name of the printer.
Thank you very much in advance

Rep-3002 while calling report from form in character mode on web environment

When I call a report by using run_product from a form , i get rep-3002. my report is in character mode. if i change it to bitmap that works fine. but my requirement is of character mode on web environment.
please help.

Hello,
If you are running in WinNT/2000 environment, the NT/2000 user which runs the Report Server service must have a printer defined. In the control panel, look at the properties for the Report Server to see what user it runs as. Log in as that user and make sure a default printer is defined.

Report 6i/Webdb -Not able to display the report in the browser - rep- 3002 error.

Would someone tell what I missed, I have set up the following:
1) a report using report builder on NT
2) my database is in Unix
3) my report server is started in NT
4) I run webdb listener for the following code: http://myweb.com/cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=repserver+report=myreport+userid=usid/pw/connect_string+destype=cache+desformat=html. Then, I receive this message:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job has terminated with error.
Reports Server Replies:
REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed.
Why is it thinking I want to use the printer whereas I want to display the report in the browser?. Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like that your Web CGI did not configure right. To test if your CGI configuration is correct, type:
http://hostname:port/cgi-bin/rwcgi60exe?
If you get a help screen, then you should be able to bring up your report.

REP: 3002 & 19200 - Character base report on n-tier application.

Dear friends
We are using ORACLE 8i as database server, IIS as Web server,
Front-end
is -Forms 6i and Reports 6i. We have developed Reports both in
character
and Bitmap as per client's requirement. Bitmap reports are
working fine
in 2- tier as well as in 3- tier application.
Character base reports are working fine in 2-tier application
but in
3-tier it shows “ REP: 3002: ERROR INITIALIZING PRINTER. PLEASE
MAKE
SURE PRINTER IS INSTALLED” We have tried and communicated with
local
ORACLE for quite some time, but the solution is not found till
date. (We
have tried with DESFOMAT and other parameters)
Is there any other way so that we can generate the output in
character
mode from 3-tier (without converting to bitmap) as this is a
specific
requirement of our client. (As within the premises they are
using 2-tier
and from remote place they will be using 3-tier application
through
web.)
Could any one please help us in this matter? Pl. consider this
as a
urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Yu may want to use a dictionary which has a built in hash table for the key. See code below for starting point
List<string> input = new List<string>() { "abc", "abd", "def", "ghi" };
Dictionary<string, List<string>> dict = input.AsEnumerable()
.GroupBy(x => x.Substring(0,1), y => y)
.ToDictionary(x => x.Key, y => y.ToList());

Batch PDF Reports raising error REP-3002: Error initializing printer.

We are running Reports 6.0 in Windows NT 4.0. When run manually the PDF reports are able to see the PostScript Print Driver and generates PDF output. We have a batch job on the NT that gets kicked off from the Mainframe via XPATH, which spawns multiple report processes as needed to run the PDF reports. We get the error "REP-3002: Error initializing printer." under this scenario.
Any help to resolve this will be appreciated.

Hi,
i've changed to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT as your advice and followed the instructions in "Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility - An Oracle Technical White Paper December 2000". i tested orarrp by created the HTML file follow the steps in page 5 of the paper, it worked.
then i modified existed form, set report object property like this :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESNAME,'test.rrpa');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'Rep60_NTSERVER2');
note : i'm not sure that i set the right value for REPORT_SERVER property, i got this value from TNSNAMES.ORA file.
then call the report with this statement :
:GLOBAL.ReportHandle := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
it showed the same error message :
"REP-3002 Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed."
i think i set something wrong, but i don't know where. could you help me ?

REP-3002 error initialising printer on Unix

Hello
Has anybody got REP-3002 on Unix. I am running my character based report to generate text based output on Solaris. No matter what I do - configure the ui[rint.txt file - Set up default printer for the account running Oracle reports. I still keep getting this error.
I have successfully done this on NT but it doesnt work on Unix.
Any suggestions specific for Unix?
Amit

Amit,
A couple of things to check:
-Make sure the printer specified in the uiprint.txt file is enabled at the operating system level. A quick way to test
this is to try to print any file from the command line to this printer using lp. If you can print using lp and get the
output on the printer, then the printer is enabled at the OS level.
-Oracle Reports must be able to open and read the uiprint.txt file
-The user running the report must have operating system level read permissions on the uiprint.txt file.
- Unix operating systems have an open file limit. It may be possible that Oracle Reports cannot open the
uiprint.txt file because of the open file limit.

REP-3002: Error initializing printer

Hello,
This is my configuraton:
Computer 1 : nt4, sp3, installed: Oracledatabase 7.3.4
Computer 2 : nt4, sp3, installed: Oracle WebDb, forms 6i, formserver 6i and reports 6i.
Services WebDb and Listener are running.
I've connected an HP LaserJet III to the parallel port of computer 2. In the printer
control panel of NT4, this printer is set as the 'default' printer.
'myform.fmx' is a simple form.
The code consists only of a 'when-button-pressed' trigger as follows:
declare
pl paramlist;Ln varchar(15) :='Elsa';
BEGIN
pl :=get_parameter_list(Ln);
if not id_null(pl) then destroy_parameter_list(pl);end if;
pl :=create_parameter_list('Elsa');
add_parameter(pl,'DESTYPE', text_parameter,'PRINTER');
run_product(REPORTS,'C:\ORANT\REPORT60\myrep.rep',1,BATCH,FILESYSTEM,pl);
destroy_parameter_list(pl);
END;
'myrep.rep' is a simple report, consisting of:
select user from dual;
generated by the wizard.
When I run the form in preview for the web in formbuilder 6i, then it works very well,
it prints my report.
But when I run it from the cgi 'ifcgi60.exe' by the command
start -> programs -> oracle forms 6i -> run a form on the web
it returns
http://pent2.easyware.be/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe?
form=myform.fmx&userid=&otherparams=useSDI=yes&
lookAndFeel=generic&colorScheme=teal
then the error returned in the webbrowser is
'REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed.'
if parameter 'DESTYPE' is set to 'SCREEN' then it works very well, I can print by clicking the print icon.
Please can someone help me.
Best Regards,
Carl Willems.

REP-3002 Error

Hi,
I have a character mode report. I wants to generate a ascii formatted file. Using 'Postscript' option, i could able to generated this file, if the machine has printer driver. If the machine don't have the printer driver, its throwing REP-3002 error. Is there any workaround way to generate ps report without printer drivers.
Thanks,
Saravanan.

Could pl let me know whats the wrong in it? or it still expecting the printer driver?
Thanks

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
have you added an entry in the tnsnames.ora for the Reports Server ?
What is retuned by the command :
tnsping80 <reports server name>

Hello,
I have two entries in my CGIcmd.dat file. The entries are pretty much identical, they just go to two different report servers, running on the same machine. Both specify destype=file desname=report.lis, and run the same report. One of them works fine, the other is throwing a Rep-3002.

REP-271468673 Saving report to pdf

Report upgraded from Reports 6i to Developer 10g fails only when output to a pdf file with error REP-271468673. Report returns to screen without issue. Report output is 6k+ pages and 3.5k images.
Can anyone offer assistance?

hello,
what you would have to do, is to create a table with a column BLOB and then use the functions of the DBMS_LOB package to read the PDF file from the filesystem into the database.
sending a report via mail is done by using DESTYPE=MAIL and DESNAME=<receipient>
