Reports error REP-0002 Unable to retrieve a string

I am continuing to receive this error in the production database. All I need to do is to recompile the report in the production database and use the new reports runtime.
Does any one know why is this happening and is there any solution for it.
REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.
I am using Reports 3.0 and Windows NT.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Problem Description
When running a *.REP generated report file you get errors:
REP-00002 Unable to retrieve string from message file
REP-01439 Cannot compile program since this is a runtime report
Running the same report using the *.RDF file is successful.
You are running the report with a stored procedure,
OR you are running against an Oracle instance other than the one developed on,
Or, you recently upgraded your Oracle Server.
Solution Description
1) Check that the user running the report has execute permissions on any stored
SQL procedures called. <Note:1049458.6>
2) Run the report as an .RDF not an .REP , that is remove or rename the .REP
version of the report. <Note:1012546.7>
3) Compile the report against the same instance it is being run against.

  • REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file;

    Hi,
    I've a custom report in which i need to display a large string, of more than 4000 characters. To cater to this requirement i've written a formula column which displays string upto 4k characters and for a string of size beyond 4k i am calling a procedure which uses a temp table having a clob field.
    For a small string the report runs fine but whenever a large string requirement comes into the picture, said procedure gets triggered and i get REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.
    OPP log for the same gives an output as under:

    Searched for the same on metalink and found Article ID 862644.1, other than applying patch and upgrading version of BI Publisher is there any other workaround to display a comma seperated string as long as 60k characters, If any please suggest.

  • XML Report completes with error due to REP-271504897:  Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.

    We are in the middle of testing our R12 Upgrade.  I am getting this error from the invoice XML-based report that we are using in R12. (based on log).  Only for a specific invoice number that this error is appearing.  The trace is not showing me anything.  I don't know how to proceed on how to debug where the error is coming from and how to fix this.  I found a patch 8339196 that shows exactly the same error number but however, I have to reproduce the error in another test instance before we apply the patch.  I created exactly the same order and interface to AR and it doesnt generate an error.  I even copied the order and interface to AR and it doesn't complete with error.  It is only for this particular invoice that is having an issue and I need to get the root cause as to why.  Please help.  I appreciate what you all can contribute to identify and fix our issue.  We have not faced this issue in R11i that we are maintaining right now for the same program which has been running for sometime.  However, after the upgrade for this particular data that the user has created, it is throwing this error REP-271504897.

    Hi,
    Check on this note also : Purchasing Reports Fail When Changing Output To XML REP-0002 REP-271504897 REP-57054 (Doc ID 1452608.1)
    If you cant reproduce the issue on other instance, apply the patch on the test instance and verify all the funcionality related to the patch works OK. Then move the patch to production. Or you can clone the prod environment to test the patch.

    bogdom and gaben,
    I belong to your club too it seems. Though in my case the compilation was required on each database. Report used to work in the only that database in which they were compiled. Connecting to other database used to give this string error. Moreover this problem existed only for those reports in which i had used PL/SQL code in the formula columns. One way to avoid this is by writing all PL/SQL code in a library and call it in the formula column calculations.

  • TS1702 How do I resolve error 5011; "Attention: unable to retrieve shared information" on Time Magazine app?

    How do I resolve error 5011; "Attention: unable to retrieve shared information" on Time Magazine app?

    Dear Goteamjosh,
    When you bought a subscription through iTunes you shouldn't have to login seperately using the sign in which asks you for your timesubscription data (this is only when you are a paper subscriber, in that case your iPadsubscription is complimentary). The login should be automatic if your iPad is logged in to iTunes, if not ,you will see the familiar iTunes loginbox in which you use your regular iTunes data. If the app asks you your credentials with a Time-loginbox, then there is still something wrong with the app. As you can see above, a lot of people have been experiencing problems, which they now seem to have resolved (my app is working OK again, no login data requiered).
    Update: I just checked, and my app is not working again either! Back to square one. As we can see above, there is some time-app bug (or server problem or whatever). No use trying to solve it ourselves. I am sure they are aware of it and working on it, i guess we just have to be patient (again!).

  • Report Errors REP-1051 and REP-1070 when saving

    I just created a new report. I'm now getting errors REP-1051 and REP-1070 when I attempt to save the .rdf to my local hard drive (or anywhere else for that matter). Permissions where I try to save it are OK, in fact if I remove the SQL and insert "select * from dual", it saves nicely. Is there a query size limit of which I'm unaware? The SQL runs corrrectly, compiles correctly, etc. I just can't seem to save my work. Thank you in advance.

    REP-1051 and REP-1070 What are the messages for these codes?
    Which version and OS are you using?
    How are you calling your report?

  • Classic report error when no rows to retrieve from DB

    Apex 4.0, 11g
    Should be a quick setting change but can't seem to find it...
    I have a classic report that
    SELECT x, y, z
    FROM table_name
    WHERE DOC_TYPE_CD = :P25_FILE_TYPE
    The :P25_FILE_TYPE is filled in by a select list that submits (no validations). If there are no rows in the table that meet this criteria, I'm getting the ORA no data found error, rather than the nice little "no data found" message in the report region. (It works fine as long as there's a row to retrieve). How do I stop this being an error and make it retrieve with no rows found?
    Thanks.

    Verify if you don't have other pl/sql codes on your page that causes the error. (item condition, item default, item source, any process or so)

  • Report error rep-1070 with oracle reports

    Hi,
    I encountered a problem. I got rep-1070 error when I tried to open a oracle report using developer 2000 (2.5). Please let me know if you could help. thanks so much

    Hi Diana,
    This error means Reports can't understand the file. One way this happens is if you transfer the file from one platform to another (e.g., UNIX to Windows) using FTP without putting it in binary mode. Another way you might get this error is opening a v1.1 report in 2.5 that wasn't migrated properly.
    regards,

  • I am getting report error rep-0736&rep-1247 from concurrent

    Hi,
    I am running inventory report from concurrent is giving error as rep-0736&rep-1247.That report is giving result in report builder.
    Can anybody please tell me.It's urgent.
    Thank You,

    These two errors are just saying that there is uncompiled PL/SQL in the report:
    REP-0736: There exist uncompiled program unit(s)
    REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL
    When you are running your report in Reports Builder are you using the same database connection as when the report is run from the concurrent manager (ie are you logged on as APPS in Reports Builder)?
    If not, I would guess that the user you are connected to in Reports Builder has access to a database object you are referencing in PL/SQL that the APPS user does not have access to or refers to by a different name.
    If you are connected as APPS, then I would suggest that you do a full recompile in Reports Builder (Program -> Compile -> All) and see if that identifies any errors.
