Report Service: Microsoft service error 186

I have just installed 9ias. The reports service was working fine and then I started getting this error and I can't start the Reports Server. Anyone know what this error means?

it means that the report server entry in your tnsnames.ora file is either missing or incorrect. Check that this entry is in the tnsnames.ora file that is being used.

SharePoint 2010 with SQL Reporting Services 2012 "Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key"

i have a small sharepoint farm "2 servers" (WFE) and SQL Server 2012 ,
i installed rsSharePoint for reporting services , as a read the Reporting services is Application Service with SQL 2012 not as SQL 2008 R2 with SharePoint integrated mode, so after installation when am trying to configure the SQL Server
Reporting Services Application services i got the below error :
"Installation Error: Could not find SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110 registry key"
any kind of help would be much appreciated .

I'm having the same issue, but to me it seems like the instructions I've seen are all over the place. I already have SP 2013 and SQL 2012 SP 1 installed. I already added the features for Reporting Services - Sharepoint and Reporting Services
Add-in for SharePoint Products. I didn't see the Reporting Service service in CA, so I ran the powershell scripts to add SPRSService and SPRSServiceProxy.
My initial quest, was to get the BI features enabled, which took me on the journey of adding the Report Services, then I got the error.
Then when I read this about installing the BI features
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/querysimon/archive/2012/11/26/installing-the-bi-features-of-sharepoint-2013.aspx, which I already had SQL and SP installed. Do I have to rerun and selct the SQL Server PowerPoint for SharePoint option? I have the PowerPoint
Configuration Tool on my SQL server, I run it and I get PowerPivot for SP 2013 Configuranoi is missing prerequisits: SP 2013 EE is required. Which I have EE.
Is Reporting Services different or in addition to the BI Feature (PowerPivot)?
Have I missed a step?
Thanks for you help.

Report server failed service specific error 186

Gurus!
I am using oracle 9iAS enterprise,
Report server failed service specific error 186
Kindly help!

I believe you'll need to edit your tnsnames.ora file located in \ORACLE\806\NET80\ADMIN. The last line of this file should read something like
Rep60_SYSNAME, Rep60_SYSNAME.world = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp) (HOST=SYSNAME) (PORT=1949))
where SYSNAME is the name of the PC Reports is installed on.
I had this same error, and once I modified this file, everything seemd to work fine.

NT service-error 186 Oracle Reports server 6i

I had problems getting the Reports NT service
to run under certain contitions. I got the
old error 186.
The first time it occured it was right after I installet HAHTsite 4.0 Application server
on the box, so I thought it was a conflict.
I ripped Oracle right off the box and reinstalled. No problemo!
Later when installing on the production server I installed in what I though was the OK order, but nope. I got the old 186:er.
I ripped Ora off and reinstalled, again,
No Problemo! Hey what is this?! I checked in the tnsnames.ora and found a line at the end that said:
Rep60_BARBRO,Rep60_BARBRO.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=BARBRO)(PORT=1949))
Nice I thought and booted to DOS to Ghost
the lot. Oh by the way, the installer said nothing about needing a reboot.
After backing up the disks I booted NT and to my surprice the Reports service was broken again! I check the tnsnames.ora and found it lacked the last row (see above)! As I had no copy of the old file I reinstalled Reports over the curent installation and tnsnames was restored!
Nice one, right? Please explain is you can.
Peas to the world!
/Hans

Hey Hans,
I don't know if this is the same problem which you mentioned. I am also getting error number 186. I have an Oracle 8i installed on a Windows NT workstation. Could you please advise me as to what I should do to make the reports server up and running.
Thanks

Report service Integration (sql 2012 and SharePoint 2013) error Report Server WMI Provider error: Invalid namespace

Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace
Domain Server, Sql2012 server and SP2013 Server (3 vm servers)
the sql server reporting services service application and applications Proxy are installed and started (SP2013 Sever)
the sql server PowerPivot system Service and SQL server Reporting Services Service are Started (in Services on Server)

under general Application Settings .. trying to setup the "Reporting Service Integration" give us the above error message (Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace)
I was looking for all blogs and TechNet material but without success.

Follow these steps:
1) Uninstall SSRS from the Database Engine server (MSSQLSERVER instance).
2) Install SSRS on the SharePoint server using the "Reporting Services - SharePoint" install option during SQL Feature selection, no other services are required (e.g. you do not need to install Database Engine services).
3) You should then see SSRS as a Service Instance in Central Admin -> Manage Services on Server, at which point you can also create an SSRS Service Application.
While this guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx#bkmk_install_SSRS) walks you through it, this is for a single server install where the Database Engine is also installed on SharePoint, not something you want to do.

Get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | fl gives errors "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for". DB is mounted and the DB copies are in healthy status.

We are getting a SCOM alert " Database copy isn''''t keeping up with the changes on the active database copy and has failed."
When we go to the mailbox server and check we found all the Mailbox DB's are mounted properly and their copies are in healthy state. Further digging to this problem we found that there are no critical events to this DB in the eventviewer.
When we runt he get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | Fl then in the ErrorMessage section we get error "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for . If the copy doesn't
recover automatically, administrator intervention may be necessary. Error: The directory is not empty."
ErrorEventID : 4126
In the event viewer we get a Information event 4114 saying the DB redundancy health check passed and in the details section we get the same error message mentioned above.
Also we observed that the "MSExchange Replication" counter "Failed" is set to 1 for this perticular DB but is is set to 0 for the other DB's. Tried restarting the MSEXChange replication service but still the "Failed" counter
is 1 and the SCOM alert is still active.
The version is Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5
Any clues???

Hi,
From your description, this issue only affect one mailbox datatabase.
Please use the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command to check result.
If it doesn't work, please dismount your active database copy and check if this is Clean Shutdown, if it's dirty shutdown, please bring to clean shutdown and mount this database copy. Then run the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command again to check result.

IC Service Ticket Order Error Report

We have several service tickets in error (for example no partners entered for partners that are mandatory, no service ticket description entered (our own error), etc)
How do we get a report that lists all service tickets in error - we can't user the Inbox and we don't want to use a BW/BI report since it won't be real time - and we don't want to use a GUI transaction since that's old school (for CRM 2007)

semi old school, we created a SQ01 query using logical db in SQ02 CRMLDB_SALES_MON.
You can create a transaction launcher in web to launch this report, or create the report then create a Z t-code that runs this report if you don't want to launch SQ01.
For us, IT works the errors so ok to still use the gui.

Error while trying to load Crystal report via Windows service

Hi,
I am trying to generate PDF file using crystal reports. I have developed a console application which works absolutely fine, however when I converted the code to work as windows service (wcf hosted in Windows service), this below error I see from stack trace:
Load report failed.
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened()
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob)
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename)
at AtDataWindowsService.GetData.generatePDF(DataTable dt)
The code used is:
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType exportFormat;
ReportDocument reportObj = new ReportDocument();
exportFormat = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
//Load the Crystal Report
reportObj.Load("CrystalReport.rpt");
reportObj.SetDataSource(dt);
What might be going wrong here?

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Based on your description, I am afraid that the issue is out of support of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
I suggest that you can consult your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:

for better solution and support.

Oracle report server service returned service specific error 271

I setup Report 6i to start automatically as NT service in WinNT 4.0 server. Encountered the msg "The oracle report server <server name> service returned service specific error 271".
Can't find any documentations... can anyone please help? Thanks.
Joshua

Hi,
Only thing I can think of is that the User log-in may not have the priviledge to start a serice or some other OS related problem. Or check that you do not have any other service running under same name / or the same port. Workaround would be to use following command to start the Report server:
rwmts60 -listen "server_tns_name"You need to add an entry for the Report server in TNSNAMES.ORA file. Infact for first case also, please check is you have right entry in tnsnames.ora for the Reports Server service.
Thanks,
Rohit

The event logging service encountered an error while processing an incoming event published from Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing.

Last night, some of our systems installed updates released on 11/13/2014.
KB3021674
KB2901983
KB3023266
KB3014029
KB3022777
KB3020388
KB890830
Today, all of the servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 started logging the following error in the Security log over and over:
Log Name:      Security
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-Eventlog
Date:          1/15/2015 11:12:39 AM
Event ID:      1108
Task Category: Event processing
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Audit Success
User:          N/A
Description:
The event logging service encountered an error while processing an incoming event published from Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing.
Servers running Windows Server 2008 that also installed the updates are not experiencing the problem. It looks like one of the updates may have introduced this problem with Server 2008 R2.

...Did you for sure confirm that:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS15-001
is the cause?
I did. I had a VM that was not experiencing the problem. I took a snapshot and tested the patches one by one. Installing only KB3023266 immediately caused the issue to occur (after reboot). A similar process was used to confirm that
installing KB2675611 resolved the problem.
Note that I found the installation of KB2675611 is usually quick, but it took several hours hours to install on some of our systems. We had installed this patch a few months ago on a couple of servers and it was always quick to install. But,
it seems like installing it on a symptomatic system can cause it to take a long time.

Windows could not start the Cluster Service on Local computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 2.

Dear Technet,
Windows could not start the Cluster Service on Local computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 2.
My cluster suddenly went disappear. and tried to restart the cluster service. When trying to restart service this above mention error comes up.
even i tried to remove the cluster through power-shell still couldn't happen because of cluster service not running.
Help me please.. thank you.

Shamil

Hi,
Could you confirm which account when you start the cluster service? The Cluster service is a service that requires a domain user account.
The server cluster Setup program changes the local security policy for this account by granting a set of user rights to the account. Additionally, this account is made a member
of the local Administrators group.
If one or more of these user rights are missing, the Cluster service may stop immediately during startup or later, depending on when the Cluster service requires the particular
user right.
Hope this helps.

Report Server Windows Service SQLEXPRESS Error 107 on startup

Hi,
After reviewing the top related threads I didn't find what I'm looking for. People either gave up, or shut down the service. I'd like to solve this.
After investigating the problem on my server, I find the Report Server is doing just fine and this appears to be a transient error during boot as the other MSDN threads have indicated; evidently the SQL server is not yet ready when Reporting Services
looks for it.
While we could ignore this error, most of us would like to only see errors that are real, otherwise the real errors can get lost in the noise. So,
1) If the Report Server Windows Service were delayed during boot, would that stop the error event from occurring?
2) Assuming the answer to #1 above is yes, how do I delay the Report Server Windows Service?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Alan

Hi Alberto, (again :-))
Thank you kindly for your quick response.
I had already read that TechNet article, so thanks for confirming I am on the right track. But that article, nor it's children articles, doesn't explain how to stop the error, unless I looked at the answer and didn't recognize it.
But I do recognize your alternative answer which I think is the solution I should use.
So, if you don't mind helping with some very basic instruction/confirmation:
Batch file content: I understand batch files themselves quite well. I wouldn't have known how to do the instruction you gave without your help. Thanks again. After the step above when I want to start the service,
am I correct that the next line in the batch file would be:
Net start ReportServer
I looked at Properties for the 'SQL Server Reporting Services' and that's the service name that was listed. It also changed in the Administrative Tools > Services panel when I stopped and started the Report Server from the Reporting Services Configuration
Manager. (SVRTFS\MSSQLSERVER) (SVRTFS being the name of the server I am working with)
Batch file activation: Would you mind just confirming for me the
best way to have the batch file run on server boot. What's the
best place to save the batch file and what's the best way to ensure the batch file runs at the appropriate time?
You mentioned powershell. Is there a reason that would be better than a regular batch file? I'm still beginning and don't quite understand the difference between powershell and not powershell.
But I do want this process to be automatic which is where I think you are driving me.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Alan
