REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server failed

Question

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Database 10g R2 and Oracle Developer 10gR2.
I installed it in both Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP2.
I would like to call a Report using a button inside Oracle Form.
I create my own Report Server, using : rwserver server=repsrv
A Java-based window appear OracleAS Reports Sevice, and showed that repsrv is ready.
In Form (inside a button -> WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED) :
1. Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT()
   rep_id := find_report_object('REPORT10');
     if not id_null(rep_id) then
       v_rep := run_report_object(rep_id);
     else
          message('Null');
   end if;
   a. If I did not specify the name of the Report Server in Reports node of Form's property object
(I leave it blank)
The following error appear :
FRM-41211: Integration error, SSL failure running another product
b. If I specify the name of the Report Server : repsrv
The following error appear :
FRM-41213: Unable to connect to Reports Server repsrv
2. Using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()
a. If did not I specify the server name in the parameter
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| SUBSTR(v_rep,INSTR(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||,'_blank');Another web browser appear and the following error appear :
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
b. If I specify the server name in the parameter --> server='repsrv'
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| SUBSTR(v_rep,INSTR(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');Another web browser appear and the following error appear :
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
In Report :
If I try to navigate manually to :
1. http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet using web browser.
It showed OracleAS Report Services - Servlet Command Help page.
2. http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?userid=scott/tiger@orcl&report=D:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
3. Finally,
http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?server=REPSRV&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&report=C:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
4. Any attempt to different command (i.e showenv, showjobs, etc) seems failed
If I did not specify the server then REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
If I specify the server - 'repsrv' then REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
5. I have tried to use rwrun in command line.
rwrun report="D:\My Documents\form\module1.jsp" userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname="D:\My Documents\form\module2.pdf"
The PDF file created and it looks exactly as the web layout as in Oracle Report Builder (Run Web Layout CTRL-R)
Question :
1. What supposed to be done?
The Report server is ready, but the web browser seems unable to connect to Report Server.
2. Can we used or call or executed an executable command line from Form (using PL/SQL inside button)?
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi Buntoro,
Try out the following format....with web.show_document
URL_VAR:='/reports/rwservlet?server='||rep_server_name_var||'&report='||report_path_var||'\'||report_file_var||'&desformat='||desformat_var||'&destype='||destype_var||'&userid='||username_var||'/'||password_var||'@'||tns_var||'&paramform='||param_form_var;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(URL_VAR,'_parent');
where ...._var are the specific variables...
