Report server facing problem

I have installed Oracle 9iAs (infrastructure & business intelligence) along with developer kit. To my problem , I am finding when starting services trough OEM. Report service is not getting starting up. Engine status is as Unavailable and server trace reports as
[2006/4/25 5:51:9] Info 56025 (RWServer:startServer): Reports Server is starting up

Thanking You

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service nameLooks like the infrastructure database is not listed, or listed incorrectly, in the tnsnames.ora file.

Oracle Report Server wierd problem

Hi All,
I am facing very wierd problem with oracle report server.
I am using Oracle Report Server 10g R1. The problem I am facing is as under:
There is custom parameter form where user enters report filter criteria and press a button to create the report.
The problem is that report is giving output some times and sometimes it gives no output at all. Both the times, the parameters passed by user are same. The report executions are done for both runs one after other. We have tried to look in report server trace file but could not find anything. When report server fails to give any data in the report, at the same time, we have tried to execute the report query on SQL prompt and it did return data.
Can any one give any hint where the problem could be ?
Thanks,
Ramchandra Jetwani

Hi,
When i used to get only one page the options like facing, continuous facing are disabled. And displays only single page.
These options are enabled only when there are multiple pages in pdf.
One more thing i found that it happens when I first view the report as pdf it displays
all the pages, then i change the display format to csv and again when i change
the format to pdf the problem starts.
And when I will restart the report server service, it works fine again until i wont view it in CSV format.

Report Server service problem

Hi all champions.
I have installed 9iAs R1 on windows 2k.My form server is running well, but there is a problem with Report server and its service is not ruuning (error 186).
What could be the tns entry for folders 806 and iSuites?
Early reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you have the repository connection configured? This is in the 806_home\report60\server\server_name.ora file with repositoryconn= setting.
If you do, make sure you can connect to that database with the user name/password you have configured. Connect from 806_home\bin\sqlplus to check this.
Are you on the latest patch?
Did you configure the service to not interact with the desktop? If not, you should change it to not interact.

I. Brief summary on the architecture of Reports Server, CGI and Reports Servlet
=================================================================================
In order to understand the causes of the error "Unable to communicate with the
Reports Server", let's first briefly review the Reports Runtime Engines, Reports
Server, the Reports CGI, and Reports Servlet architecture.
There are 4 important layers in Reports Server architecture which should be
understood in order to clearly understand the error "Unable to communicate with
the Reports Server" :
1) The Runtime Engines : This is the main layer where the reports are actually
executed. On unix systems there are "rwrun60" and on NT systems there are
"rwrun60.exe" processes.
2) The Reports Server : The Reports Server recieves the job request and queues
it. When one of its runtime engines becomes available, it sends the
command line to that runtime engine for execution. On Unix systems it is
the "rwmts60" executable and on NT systems it is "rwmts60.exe".
3) The Reports CGI : The Reports Web CGI passes the request to the Reports Server.
The Reports CGI or Servlet converts the request to a command line that can be executed by the Reports Server and
submits it to the specified Reports Server. On Unix platforms this executable
is "rwcgi60" and on NTs it is "rwcgi60.exe.
4) The Reports Servlet : Its functionality and function is just the same as "Reports CGI", but it is
a program written in Java as difference to the CGI program (which is
written in C programming language).
The Reports Server may be running on the same server with the CGI program (or
servlet) OR may reside totally on another machine which does not necessarily have
the same Operating System. For instance CGI may reside in a Windows NT machine
while the Reports server may reside on a Unix box, or any other combination with
Unix-Linux-NT-2000, etc.
The reports are called with a URL similar to below with the CGI :
http://fully.qualified.server.name:PORT/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=<REPSERVER>&other_parameters=...........
where fully.qualified.server.name is the name of the server where the Reports CGI
reside, and <REPSERVER> is the name of the server.
II. Sources of errors encountered when running a report with Reports Server
============================================================================
The Reports Web CGI (or the Reports Servlet) makes a call to the Reports Server
and asks it to place the output into some destination (defined by DESTYPE and
DESNAME parameters), then gives back the necessary response to the calling
program. For example if the DESTYPE is "cache", then the Reports server generates
the report to a file in a temporary place and gives it back to CGI and the CGI gives
it back to the calling program. Otherwise, if the DESTYPE is "file", the Reports Server
generates the report output to the requested file and the CGI replies back the
following message : "Report output was successfully written to requested
destination.".
If there is any error in this process, the related error message is returned. The
possible sources of errors can be categorized as follows :
1) The errors that are returned from Reports Server; like the Reports Server can
not find the requested RDF file or the report may be run to file and the
directory where the reports output is asked to be placed does not occur or
similar errors. (Usually the REP-XXXX errors)
2) Another possible cause of error is the errors returned by the RDBMS to the
Reports Server, for example a table not found error or things like that. Of
course from the CGI point of view these errors are again transmitted from the
Reports Server but in fact the error originates from the RDBMS. (Usually the
ORA-XXXX errors)
3) Another possible cause of errors is the CGI itself, for example when the CGI
executable can not connect to the requested Reports Server, then we get the
famous "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server". In this document we will
diagnose the common reasons of this last error.
III. How the CGI (or the Reports Servlet) communicates with the Reports Server
===============================================================================
Having said that "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Unable to communicate with the
Reports Server." error is returned back from the CGI itself, let's discuss the
issue of how the Reports CGI connect to the Reports Server. The name of the
Reports Server given in the URL with "server=....." parameter is, in fact, just
a special tnsnames alias, similar to aliases for database connect strings. As it is
important for the CGI to resolve the alias, the CGI needs to know the HOST name (or the
IP) of the machine where the Reports Server is running and the port on which the
Reports Server is listening. So a typical Reports Server alias is defined as follows :
REP60_<MACHINE>=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = <MACHINE>)(PORT = <PORT>))
This is defined in tnsnames.ora file, and the sqlnet.ora file is also used in
the name resolving operation.
IV. Possible reasons which lead to "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error.
==========================================================================================
The possible reasons for the "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error :
1) Reports Server is up and running :
Make sure that the Reports Server is really running on the specified server
and listening on the specified port. For details have a look at above
explanations for tnsnames alias of the reports server. And because of this the
CGI could not establish a connection to the Reports Server.
2) tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora problems :
As described above, the CGI resolves the details for the reports server using
the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora" files. There may be a problem with them,
here are the possible configuration problems :
a) There is no alias in the tnsnames.ora file for this Reports Server
b) The CGI looks into the wrong directory for the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora"
files. By default the CGI checks the $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory for
these scripts, where the $ORACLE_HOME is the home of the Forms & Reports
installation. Please note that in a typical 9iAS 1.0.X installation there
are two ORACLE_HOME's, one is for the iAS and the other is for the tools,
usually the home for the tools is a directory with name "806" on NT and
"6iserver" on unix systems. By defining TNS_ADMIN in the environment, one
can override the search path for these two files.
The TNS_ADMIN variable can be defined in one of the following places :
i) In the environment : On MS Windows platforms check the "Settings
--> Control Panel --> System". On NTs check the environment TAB and in
Win2K systems check the "Environment Variables" button on Advanced tab.
ii) In "6iserver.conf" file. Details are as follows : The main configuration
file for Apache server is "httpd.conf" file which resides in
$IAS_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory. In this file there is a line to
include "oracle_apache.conf" and in this "oracle_apache.conf" file
there is a line to include "$ORACLE_HOME/conf/6iserver.conf" file. And
in this file the TNS_ADMIN variable could be defined as follows :
SetEnvIf Request_URI "rwcgi60" TNS_ADMIN=c:\orant\network\ADMIN
Please note that by defining it this way, the TNS_ADMIN will only be defined
for "rwcgi60" calls, so the other parts of the 9iAS will not be affected by
this setting.
c) In sqlnet.ora the "names.default_domain" is set but in tnsnames.ora the
domain is not defined in the alias description. For example if the
"names.default_domain=world" is present and active in "sqlnet.ora" file
then in the "tnsnames.ora" the alias of the reports server should also have
the ".world" extension appended at the end. And another cause is of course
the vice versa for this. If there is no "names.default_domain" is defined
in the "sqlnet.ora" then the alias in "tnsnames.ora" should not have the
domain extension.
Another important point that should be checked is, if TNS_ADMIN is defined
as described above then the search path is as follows, first the directory
defined by TNS_ADMIN is searched, if the "tnsnames.ora" file is not found in
this directory then $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin is checked. (And on unix systems
/var/opt/oracle is also checked). These directories are only checked if the file
is not present, so if the "tnsnames.ora" file is present in TNS_ADMIN directory
but the alias is not present, then the other directories are not checked at all.
Let us assume that the tnsnames.ora file is present in the TNS_ADMIN directory but
there is no "sqlnet.ora" files here, then the sqlnet.ora file is checked in
$ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory, which could cause the same problem if the
"names.default_domain" is defined in this file.
All the above will result in, CGI to unable to resolve the alias in tnsnames.ora
file so it will not be able to establish a connection to the Reports Server.
3) Wrong "ORACLE_HOME" setting :
Wrong ORACLE_HOME setting. This is usually the case for Reports Servlet,
because the environment settings are defined in "jserv.properties" file for the
servlets and the setting here will effect both the Reports Servlet and the
setting for Oracle JSP and other servlets. So the other servlets or Oracle JSP
may need to set ORACLE_HOME to home of HTTP server while the reports server needs
it to be set to the TOOLS_HOME directory. In this case the best alternative is
not to set ORACLE_HOME in this directory and leave it to registry or defined the
ORACLE_HOME in "6iserver.conf" file just like the TNS_ADMIN defined above. For
details please have a look at the following document :
Note 179609.1 "Getting an error Unable to communicate with the Reports Server
using RWSERVLET"
4) Effect of parameter "maxconnect" :
Another common case for this error is that the CGI request reaches the Reports Server but
the Reports Server refuses connection. The main cause for this case is, that the Reports Server
configuration parameter "maxconnect" is defined too low, there are long running reports on the
server or the server is too busy at that time. Usually a second try some
later time results in a successful connection. If this is the case, the end user
may think that the problem is occasional. For details on this case please
have a look at the following document :
Note 125265.1 "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server"
5) Passing very large parameters to reports server :
Another known reason for this error is, if you are passing large parameters
to the Reports Server which exceeds sqlnet transmission blocks then the request may
end up with this error. To test it try with small parameter values. If you hit
this case, the solution is to increase the SDU (Session data unit size) and the TDU
(Transport unit data size) parameters in tnsnames.ora file, for details please
have a look at the following document :
Note 197358.1 "Passing large parameters to Reports show up a Reports Server
error"
6) A case specific to OAS 4.0.8.2 :
If you are using OAS instead of iAS, and the error appeared after
upgrading to 4.0.8.2 then this is caused because the 4.0.8.2 is using RSF
(Required Support Files) version 8.1.6 and the Reports 6i is using 8.0.6 and the
two could not reside in the same ORACLE_HOME directory. So the solution for this
problem is to create a new batch file and use it from which the actual CGI
executable is called. For details please see the following document :
Note 116754.1 "After applying OAS 4.0.8.2 CGI and Cartridge cannot communicate
to report server"
7) A case specific to WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 :
Another known case for this error is with WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 or less.
If you are using these old versions of WEBDB as HTTP listener, please have a
look at the following document :
Note 95426.1 "URL Not Found When Calling Oracle Developer Report from WebDB Site"

On Windows you can create a Report Services:
rwserver -install server=repserverYou have to choose different names for all servers, like your collegue cannot create a server with the same name. You can start/stop this Report server in Services (control panel). Configuration files can be found under $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf

Report Server Installation Problem

hi
we have installed java web server and dev6 server and deployed our application (which
was coded on Forms 5 later converted to 6) it is working fine in the web browser
but we have problem in running developer report server as nt service. we have followed the same steps as stated on oracle documentation.
we have added all the necessary entries in the registry and created an entry at tnsnames.ora, then installed the oracle report server at the command prompt - the service was added. upto this point it was quite okay. when we startup the report service we are getting "Oracle Report Server Service retuned server specfic error 186"
our oracle server runs on diffrent system
whose ip address is 129.1.2.203 and instance name is O8E. the web server and developer server runs on workstation and it got the following entry on the tnsnames.ora:
rserver.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = 129.1.2.201)
(Port = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = O8E)
we have checke-up all the trouble-shooting tips given in the documentation, but all in vain.
can anybody suggest some tips on this
thanks in advance
regds.,
null

The tns entry you show for rserver is a DATABASE entry (it has a SID) which would explain why this doesn't work - the reports server entry is shorter.
Please refer to the Reports Server Configuration whitepaper, available on OTN (under the 6.0 collateral) which provides in-depth instructions for setting this up. In Reports 6i the installer does all this for you.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Report Server Credential Problem

All
When our report viewer connects to the remote report server, we got HTTP 401 unauthorized problem.
When we copy the report url into IE, it asks for user name and password. If I typed in the report server's windows credential, I can access the report. I don't want to reveal my server's credential. So I tried to configure the report server to no credential
I found some links talking about configuring SSRS for unattended account
I configured one. It seems that this account must be a valid windows account of the report server.
Then I logged in Report Manager remotely and configured the data source to the following options:
Windows integrated security
Credentials are not required
It does not help.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
What is the right way authenticate client to remote access the report server?
Thanks,
FL

My winforms ReportViwer still failed to connect to the Report server. The server is on a win 2008
server R2.
Both client and server computers are not on any domain, but connected to the same wifi network. I disabled loopback check as MSFT kb suggested (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861)
Does anyone know how to solve this logon issue?

Reports Server Startup Problem

guys i am stucked up in the very beginning. When i try to startup the Reports Server from AS Enterprize manager it shows that the server is started. But it crashes at the moment it starts. When i enable the report server tracing then i found that it tries to connect with the user "repadmin" and it does not find this user. Please help me about that some body
Regards
Zahid Kareem.

I just want to be able to start the server and run some examples with rwbuilder.<<<1) For running reports in builder you do not need server. (May be you already know this, but reading this line I got the impression that you think , you need server to run a report with builder)
Once you create a report, you can generate a file using File --> Generate to file in builder.
( Also in a production env you need 9i AS for running reports in client-server mode etc. )
2) osagent (third party tool) uses UDP for inter-agent communication. Normally the port is 14000. So can you see whether Linux has been configured for not allowing UDP communication at this port ?
3) The reason osagent not starting may be because, already one may be running in your machine
ps -ef | grep osagent
In one machine only one osagent can run. If it is already running you do not have to start another.
4)NOTE:
As a workaround you can use "rwrun" utility in $OH\bin. This utility does not need a server and can run reports standalone in command line.
Hope this helps

Printer Problem In Oracle Forms And Reports server

Hi,
I am facing a problem regarding installation of printer drivers in my Reports Server (10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2003).
Unless the printer driver is installed locally on the Report Server Reports are not printing.
The problem is with the USB printers at various location .
How to install the printer in this case.
Any one can help in this regards.
Regards,
Kumar

I think that specific drivers are needed always when you need to print in windows enviroments, with or without report server, locally or remotely. If windows "see" the printer, report server does too.

Very weird report server problem

Hello gurus,
I'm currently facing werid problem.My report server status is UP and running.But I try to access the showjobs url, the page shows *500 internal server error* or cannot bind to report server errors.
I have enabled traces and actually found out that report sever engines are actually running,picking up reports,creating DB connections,formatting pages and dumping into cache folder,like everything normal.All traces show no error or abnormality.
rwdiag command also shows my report sever exists.
I can't understand how is this possible.Please guide me..
I think the problem is with the rwservlet?I'm sure rwclient and rwrun would run successfully as well..
anyone..

Hi there
Just would like to know if you have change some file configuration like httpd.conf,rwservlet.conf or ias.porperties?
Actually you report server is running file but this is host naming issues.
Provide me what you did so i can help.
Thanks

ZCM 11 Sp1 Reporting server Problem

Hi after migrating the embedded database to MS SQL 2008 I am facing a problem while generating any report.
The error message is as followed
A database error occured. The database error text is: The server version is not supported. The target server must be SQL server 2000 or later.. (WIS 10901).
I have re-installed the reporting server as suggested by NTS but the issue still remains.

Hi Craig Wilson,
Thanks for your reply, I guess we specify the DB server address and port detail in /opt/novell/zenworks/share/boe/bobje/odbc.ini file, but in my configuration file there is nothing related to that. Will that be the reason for this problem?

Reports Server 6. installation problem on NT

Hi,
I am trying to install Dev2k Reports server on NT4, SP3. I created the Report server service, configured it to start up service as my user account.
The starting up of the service fails. In the ORAHOME/Rerpot60/server/*.log file I keep getting the 'Daemon failed to listen to port.' error message. I simply have not got a clue, what may be the problem.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

i'm not a software engineer (kind of an installation nurse/paramedic), so i can't help you there. did you email the log to Gayle?

Bind to report server problem

hello all
please i want your help of my case that iam trying to run areport from aform both are (10g).
the problem is when calling the report from a button in aform with this code in the ''when_button_pressed'' trigger
web.show_document('http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?&report=c:\MODULE2.jsp&destype=cache&desformat=PDF&userid=scott/tiger@ahmad');
it generates for me aweb page with an error (REP-51002: BIND TO REPORT SERVER FAILD).
The advise presented from reports builder help is to make sure that the Reports Server is running and that the Reports Server name is correct.
so i make from run the following test ''rwserver'' it gives me aprompt with a message (please consult the installation guides for how to setup and run this program).
so please please help find the solution.
note: when i try to run the report from the report builder it works good and generates the report properly both paper layout or web layout.

Thank u so much rajesh for your advises and help.
i have tried your steps you have written in the last theared on my pc and on another pc has the same (10 g release) and project and i got the following results:
1.For the scond pc evry thing was good and works properly. when performeing the command (rwserver server= rep_server) it intializes the report server and starting it very well and calling a report from aform goes well. and when running your form REPORT_SERVER_LIST.fmx it gives me the results for list of rep servers started.
But on my pc which has the problem when running the command (rwserver server= rep_server) it starting the rep server for a 1 or 2 seconds then quickly shutdown the report server alone.
when trying again and again when starting the rep server it gives a windos error msg says (connot delete file ''rep_repservername'') and shut down the rep server.

Crystal Report Server Backup and Recovery problem

I have a problem on the backup Crystal Report Server
My Environment:
- Windows Server 2003
- Crystal Report Server XI R2
- MySQL Database for Central Management Server System Tables(Default setting in the Crystal Report Server installation)
- Tomcat (Default seting in the Crystal Report Server installation)
I stop the Central Management Server before backup.
I run the following command to backup Central Management Server System Table:
mysqldump --user=root --password=pass1234 boe115 > C:\CMSBackup.sql
It is ok to generate CMSBackup.sql file.
After backup, I re-install the Crystal Report Server and run the following command to restore Central Management Server System Table:
mysqldump --user=root --password=pass1234 boe115 < C"\CMSBackup.sql
After finish the restore process, I cannot found my setting on the Central Management Server System.
Any backup step i missed ?

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your reply.
I had set Users Rights, Folders setting, Group setting, and Windows Authentication information in the Crystal Report Server
Also I had upload reports to Crystal Report Server, but i cannot found above information after I restore the MySQL CMS database.
Any step i missed ?
About the Output File Respository, Can i copy and paste the Input and Output File Repository ?
