REP 501 Error

I'm receiving Oracle report error : "Unable to connect to the specified database", as I want to run a report via the J2EE. While I'm able to retrieve date records with other parts of the application.
I think I'm missing a client file which associates this connection.
Plz someone help?

You are right. First I thought it could be a problem I set that up so that I don't have any problems with connecting to SQLPlus or Toad.
But when I run any reports via the J2EE application I'm getting this error. Besides, I can view all of the data records via the J2EE application. It seems something (file) is missing for only the reports, since this is not my first time doing this. I have all this application in another machine and it's working fine.
I also ran the OC4J container for reports. and also change the web.XML file in Jdeveloper to define the Report server. Can u give me more advice plz?
thx

The report terminated with error: REP-501: The specified database cannot b

Dear All,
We are usning forms and reports 11g in weblogic . while running the reports from forms
frequently getting the error The report terminated with error: REP-501: The specified database cannot be connected..
Can anyboby help me to solve this problem

REP-501 typically means that Oracle Reports are unable to locate any available Oracle Databases. By default, Oracle Reports (similar to Oracle Forms) will only look for available databases in tnsnames.ora. Not only that, but the Reports environment by default will always look for the tnsnames.ora file in %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\config ($ORACLE_INSTANCE/config in Unix). I have seen these scenarios happen before especially if the TNS_ADMIN variable for your Forms environment variables is a directory different from %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\config. This would be the first place I would look.
If tnsnames.ora is located in %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\config, do all generated reports fail with this message or a select amount of them? If only a select amount of them, are there any similarities with these reports (e.g, size, parameters, etc.)?
Thanks,

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.

Dear All,
Oracle DB 10g installed on Windows 2003 Server machine and client is Windows 7 Pro. Forms are running fine. If I run report by puting everything in URL it is also giving result. But only when i am trying to call report via form I get an error REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified data. The report log file contains below result. Is this something to to AUTHID=ANONYMOUS??? I need your assistance in this regard as I have been facing this problem since quite a long time now.

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');

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!

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

Hi,
Try few things,
1) try tnsping <sid name>, specified in tnsnames.ora file from Oracle Application Server
2) try running the report through the below url
http://ipaddress:port/reports/rwservlet?report=report.rdf&userid=username/password@database&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&
paramform=yes
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
http://ipaddress:port/forms/frmservlet?config=(name_specified_in_formsweb.cfg)&record=forms

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.

REP-501 and REP-2147418514

When I try to run reports in PDF the below error appears
"REP -2147418514 Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file"
The same report runs successfully in HTML.
When trying to run report from forms the below error appears:
"41214 Unable to run report"
and in Report server jobs the error is "REP-501 Unable to connect to specified database"
Thanks.

I was just wondering if you'd found out any more about this problem..? It looks like we might be having similar issues. The REP-501s went away once we started the reports server, but we'd prefer not to have to do this after every time we bounce the datebase.
Cheers,

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:

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-770 Error while executing the report.

Hi,
I am trying to run a report in Application Server 10g. I am executing this report from a form.
When I try to run the report using the 'rdf', I get the error
"Terminated with error: <br>REP-770: There exist uncompiled program unit(s). REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL."
But if I run the report as 'rep' then the report works fine. Now after this if I run the report as 'rdf', it works fine again.
Just to summarise - The problem occurs if I first try to run the report as rdf. But the problem disappears if I run the report as rep first before running it as rdf.
Could someone help me solve this issue.
Thanks
Aruna

Hi Aruna,
I can see 2 bugs logged on Reports 9.0.4.1 (that means 10g patch 1) that report a similar problem:
BUG 4050488 - JSP REPORTS CONTAINING REF CURSOR ASKS FOR COMPILATION EVERYTIME WITH WEB LAOUT
and
BUG 4040844 - REF CURSOR QUERY REP-737 ORA-1247 RUNNING ON LINUX
Another bug reported on 10g has been fixed in upcoming Reports version 10.1.2:
BUG 3324576 - SRW.APPLY_DEFINITION IN PGM UNIT FAILS USING .REP FILE WITH REP-1457 ERROR
They are published bugs. See if you are hitting the same issue. Though I don't think that these bugs reported REP-1247 only the FIRST time you run the report.
Secondly, when I said "compile on the same platform on which you are going to run", I meant this - if you are going to run the report on OracleAS installed on Win 2000, you must compile the report in Reports Builder on Win 2000. Similarly, if you are going to run the report on OracleAS installed on Linux, you must compile the report in Reports Builder on Linux, before running it.

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,

Hello,
This is my configuraton:
Computer 1 : nt4, sp3, installed: Oracledatabase 7.3.4
Computer 2 : nt4, sp3, installed: Oracle WebDb, forms 6i 6.0.8.8.0, formserver 6i and reports 6i 6.0.8.8.3.
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.

Parameter Form not calling the Main report - Gives REP-0110, REP-1070, REP-0110 error

I am using run_report_object to call a report in which the user has to input some paramters. I have followed the instructions as in the Oracle White paper document on Forms/Reports integration.
The paramter report does come up but when I hit the submit button, I get an error
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'rclug005'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'rclug005
I've checked the privileges and everything's fine on that front. Also, I can get to open the report with the web.show document built-in with paramform setting = No.
I am guessing something's wrong with the html constructed in the parameter form which is,
<form method=post action="http://myserver/dev60cgi/RWCGI60.EXE?">
<input name="hidden_run_parameters" type=hidden value="server=myserver &report=rclug005&destype=Cache&desformat=html&userid=uid/pwd@test">
In the Report Before Form trigger, I've copied the foll. html code from the Oracle White paper,
vc_parameter_form :=
'<html><body bgclor="ffffff"><form method=post action="'||:p_action||'">'||
'<input name="hidden_run_parameters" type=hidden
value= "'||vc_hidden_runtime_values||'">'||'<center><p>
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td>
<input type=submit></td><td> width=15
<td><input type=reset></td></tr></table><p><hr></p>';
I've set the :p_action parameter to a value of http://myserver/dev60cgi/RWCGI60.EXE?
Also, In the end of the report before form trigger I added this
srw.set_before_form_html(srw.text_escape, vc_parameter_form);
Any help/tips is appreciated & Thanks.

Thanks Danny,
I am building the variable exactly as in the White paper in the "before form" trigger using exactly the same values give there.
vc_hidden_runtime_values := 'server='||:p_servername||'&report='||vc_report_name||'.rep&destype='||:destype||'&desformat='||:desformat||'&userid='||:p_userinfo;
My report has some extra parameters too it expects. So do I have to include the names of those parameters too in the string above?
For example, in my report a user parameter is named 'print_date', which I do see and populate with value in the parameter form, then do I have to build that in the vc_hidden_runtime_values string above.
I am using Report 6.0.8.11.3 on 9iAS.
