How to deploying reports to Oracle9iAS

Dear all:
after I installed infrastructure server and application serv(BI), and I make a report file with Develop Suit 9.0.2, and build ear file by DS.Then I used Oracle Enterprise Manager(OEM) deploying the era file.
But when I run report as follow link :
http://<domain>:<port>/<context path>/reportname.jsp?userid=aaa/bbb@db
there are something error.The error is http 500 error.
And then I copy the reportname.jsp to $ORA_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_DEMO\applications\reportDemo\web\
and run the link follow:
http://<domain>:<port>/repdemo/reportname.jsp?userid=aaa/bbb@db
it works !!!
why? Does any body can tell me how to solve this problem?
please help me! Thanks.
Best regards.

Hi ,
One way to solve your problem would be to see what settings you might have missed in your .ear file contents by comparing it to the contents in "reports" sample demo provided. You can use winzip or jar utility to unpack the .ear contents and compare it to the contents of "reports" demo. The reports.ear file also should be $ORA_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_DEMO\applications directory. Some points
1) For reports jsps to run, we need to include the reports_tld.jar in WEB-INF\lib directory
2) After deployment in j2ee\home\config\server.xml there should be an entry like
<application name="reports" path="../../../reports/j2ee/reports.ear" />
corresponding to the name of your application. If it is not there something has gone wrong in deployment
Thanks

Key Mapping with Oracle Reports

I am currently trying to run report requests using the Oracle Report Server however the problem that I have is that we need to send database username/password information over the network. From a security perspective this is not acceptable.
One way we were going to get around this is to "wrap" the Oracle Report servlet with another servlet, so the client browser sends the wrapper servlet information such as report location and report name, and the
wrapper servlet adds in additional information such as the username and
password, eliminating the need for the client application to know this information.
The problem is that the URL returned to the client when the report is generated contains the username/password, which again is not
acceptable. As I have seen mention that Oracle Reports can be run over the Internet,
I assume that there is a mechanism for hiding this information. Do you know how to achieve this?.
I am keen to just hard code the user name, password, and database connection into a key mapping file to resolve this security issue. However we are having trouble getting this method to work with the Oracle Report Servlet. We are using WebLogic Server to serve these servlets.

Hello,
Here is an extract from Reports documentation:
Oracle9iAS Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web
Release 2 (9.0.2)
Part Number A92102-01
3.3.2 Reloading the Key Map File
Use the RELOAD_KEYMAP parameter to specify whether the key map file
(cgicmd.dat) should be reloaded each time the servlet receives a request.
For example:
RELOAD_KEYMAP=yes
This is useful if you frequently make changes to the map file and want the
process of loading your changes to be automatic. Runtime performance will be
affected according to how long it takes to reload the file.
Typically, this parameter is set to no in a production environment and yes in
a testing environment.

Running Reports using DESTYPE=CACHE from Report Launch Form (QMS0012F)

We are trying to run reports via the web. Since this is a 3-tier setup and our report server is running under UNIX the DESTYPE=Preview and Screen are not valid options. When we choose CACHE as DESTYPE we get the error:
'Invalid value '||l_value||' passed for parameter DESTYPE'
I have traced the error down to the QMS0012L.PLL library -> QMS$REPORT (version 6.5.1.3) package -> add_par_to_list procedure.
Is this a legacy of a client/server type setup? I have modified the procedure to allow for DESTYPE=CACHE. Now by submitting a report with DESTYPE=CACHE it gets submitted to the reports server except it doesn't show report. To display the report I believe we have
to use the Web.Show Document function to display the report (eg. http://bill:7777/servlet/RWServlet/getjobid8?server=rep60bill) as per the oracle white paper "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms"
Has there been a headsdtart patch to include the DESTYPE of CACHE when running reports? or are we the only ones running reports this way.

Raymond,
I have recorded a new bug against Headstart for this. We do not
currently have a fix, but I've looked at the code you mention and
your fix looks correct.

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets
I am trying to setup on one server an DEV and QA environment using the Forms Servlet, Forms Listener Servlet and Report Servlet.
I think I have the Forms Servlet and Forms Listener Servlet running properly. The problem is setting up the DEV and QA environment for running reports.
For example, when in DEV environment I would like to run a report from a directory specified in the REPORTS60_PATH. This doesn't seem possible.
It might be easier if I describe my configuration first:
DEV: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/dev
QA: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/qa
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Listener Servlet:
zone.properties:
# DEV
servlet.fl60dev.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60dev.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev.env
# QA
servlet.fl60qa.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60qa.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/qa.env
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Servlet:
servlet.f60servlet.code=oracle.forms.servlet.FormsServlet
--- Settings for Reports Servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
Custom Env files since we are using Developer 6i Patch 7
dev.env and qa.env
Here I specify FORMS60_PATH and REPORTS60_PATH,
eg: DEV -> FORMS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
REPORTS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
likewise for QA ../qa
In the formsweb.cfg file i have something like:
[dev]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test.fmx
[qa]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test2.fmx
I have tested the following and they work without problems:
1. forms listener test page, eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/fl60dev
2. running forms from the 2 environments
eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/f60servlet?config=dev
this runs the form in the FORMS60_PATH (/data/release/dev)
Now my problems start with Reports.
When I run a report from forms (using run_report_object) it will not run any reports
as specified in the REPORTS60_PATH
Even using this url:
http://webserver:7777/servlet/RWServlet?server=rep60&report=test.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=html&
userid=scott/tiger@test9i
It NEVER seems to pickup and use the REPORTS60_PATH. I have tried nearly everything.
I have gone throught the instructions in "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms -
White Paper"
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/277282.pdf)
and Forms6i Patch 7: Oracle Forms Listner Servlet for Deployment of FOrms on the Internet
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/p7listenerservlet.pdf)
plus any other documents in metalink relating to forms, or report servlets. I am
totally confused, please help.
I have tried setting the REPORTS60_PATH in the following files without success:
custom.env (as specified by initArgs=EnvFile in zone.properties)
jserv.properties
in the zone.properties I have tried to set a custom env file for the report servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
servlet.RWServlet.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev_rep.env
NO LUCK.
The only place that I can set the REPORTS60_PATH
is in "[6iserver home]/reports60_server" file when I start the reports server (did I even
get this right - I do have to have a reports server running don't I?)
Does this meaan I have to run multiple report servers for each of my environments?
Based on all the documentation I thought that REPORTS60_PATH as specified in the files relating
to the forms servlet would be the place to specify the path.
As you will understand I am getting really fustrated with this and it seems to
me that the reports servlet configuration in 6i is really half baked and since 9i
is coming out it will never be fixed.

I am even not able to run forms servlets from two different forms60_path, Is there any configuration do you make other than what you have mentioned in this post.
I already open a TAR in this regard, I am still waiting reply from ORACLE.
Thanks,
Shaik Ather Ahmed

Automatically run report at specified time

Hi,
Is it possible to run the specified report which is registered with Portal automatically at a specified time?!
with best regards,

Mathan,
I'll assume you are talking about the Oracle Reports and Oracle9iAS Portal integration. Best bet would be to ask the Reports folks in the Oracle Reports forum.

Oracle 9iDS or Oracle9iAS

Hi,
Oracle9iDS has a report server, and Oracle9iAS also a Reports Server. My understanding is that Oracle9iDS is a development environment, and the report services are not meant to be used in production environment.
Can anybody refer me to some docs or url, which can explain as to which one should be used under which situations.
Thanks in advance,
Prabhu.

Hello Prabhu,
You are right, the Reports Server contained in Oracle9iDS is for development purpose only and should not be user for deployment.
You can use the 9iDS embedded OC4J/Reports Server to test all your development and when it is done deploy it.
The document: http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/whitepapers/oc4j_ids/howToReportsServicesIds.htm
explain how you can use the OC4J/Reports Server embedded in 9iDS to test your reports.
Use the "Publishin Reports on The Web" manual to deploy your reports under Oracle9iAS. (See Documentation section on OTN)
Regards,
Tugdual.

Key mapping with rwservlet

Hi,
I am working on running reports through the web using html forms and rwservlet. The trouble comes when I try to use cgicmd.dat to do key mapping. The utility "showmap," that is used with rwservlet, shows the file has changed, but under "Parsed map file entries," my new keys are not displayed. How can I get these new key entries to work?
Thanks

Simple Architecture

hi to all,
I need some advice here guys! :) I'm a SOA newbie and I'm doing a simple project, in order to test Oracle SOA capabilities.
what I intend to do (hopefully with no java code involved... is it possible?) in this project is basically this :
put files (txt, csv, xls, etc) in a folder >* something around Oracle OSB and ODI will get files and process data from them *> store processed data in database
my strategy on ** step is the following:
maybe ODI will get files from local folder > OSB will validate using MDF and transform using XQuery the TXT, CSV, etc files into XML format > maybe OSB will then store XML files into Oracle XE database
this is what I concluded from my initial study... although I think the ODI step is quite unecessary... I think OSB might be able to it all by itself. (I would prefer that actually)
surely there are many different approaches to solve this "problem". but in your opinion, is this the right strategy? I mean, am I thinking it right? am I confusing things? is there a simpler way of doing this? can you point my to any direction? maybe some tutorial?
what I intend to do is keep it simple and fast (zero code)!!!
thanks for your help! :)

Hi Curt,
no tutorial on downloading XYZ, install this and that, run foo to get startedOracle9i Reports is part of Oracle9iDS and Oracle9iAS. You can download Oracle9i Reports from here:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/reports/index.html
For a quick overview of Oracle reports features you can see the presentations:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/presentations/index.html
For quickly building a report, I would suggest going through the brief Reports Tutorial:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/Tutorial/index.html
I just want some simple graphs in my JSP pages based on simple sql.You can definitely use Oracle reports to make JSP reports with graphs. However, you would need a Reports Server (Oracle9iAS) to run the reports. What you can do is:
1. Build JSP reports using Reports builder / JDeveloper (Oracle9iDS)
2. Package JSP report in your WAR
3. Deploy WAR / EAR on WebLogic
4. Use J2EE Thin Client to run reports using the Reports Server
Oracle Reports is a powerful enterprise reporting tool. You need to see whether using a Reports Server for just simple graphs is an overkill, or do you want to use some other tools to generate graph images and include them in your JSP.

Another report server engine called "mywin2000" is automatically started when OC4J Instance is started.
How can I shutdown the other server engine "mywin2000"?

hello,
you have to set the IN_PROCESS parameter in the rwservlet.properties to NO to prevent the in-process server from beeing started.
