Reports Server on WebSphere AS

Hello everybody
I've got a question for you all, maybe you've met such a problem.
Is it possible to use Reports Server on IBM WebSphere application server? Unfortunately, the tool choosed to implement the statistics module of the application was JReports, but the reports are very difficult and this tool is improper for development.
Any suggestion is welcomed.
Thanks

Hi Martin,
What can be done is this:
You have Websphere application server which acts as your web server. It can host rwservlet and the Reports JSP's. When it receives report requests, it forwards these requests to Reports Server installed on a separate machine. Now since Reports Server is part of Oracle Application Server suite, you will have to buy the OracleAS license to get Reports Server.
If you have OracleAS license, you can dowload a utility from OTN that will help you integrate Reports Services with other application servers like Websphere:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/search.html?cat=INT&col=UTI&submit=Search
You can use the standalone thin client to deploy rwservlet on Websphere. The readme will give you more information.

Oracle Reports Server & Websphere

Hi,
Can oracle reports server (9i) run with IBM Websphere in an AIX environment - Does reports server need Oracle 9iAS?
thanx
sesha

Oracle9i reports services is only available as part of Oracle9iAS. However, the server itself can run stand alone (but has to be installed as part of iAS).
the client/servlet to access the server is currently only available on oracle9iAS but will be available for stand alone use/use with othar application server soon.

Report Server RTF on Solaris gives Core Dump

We have Report Server 6.0.8.11.2 on Solaris.
We are running reports thru URL and it is working fine for PDF and HTML. When we specify the desformat as RTF it gives Segmentation Fault Core dumped.
We have tried using rwcli60 thru command line and it gives the same error, while PDF and HTML format is fine.
Is there a patchset for Solaris for the same or are we missing on some parameter?

Hiya,
Any resolution to this post , we have a native JNI call on a Websphere server running on Solaris 8 .. and same thing happening .. random core dump on the box ..
No warning , no explanation
Thanks so much for your help

Crystal Reports Server 2008 - RAS API ReportAppSession.initialize() fail

Hi,
We have a servlet (running on Websphere 6.1 container) trying to connect to Crystal Reports Server 2008 using RAS Java API to open unmanaged reports.
It fails at the very beginning of ReportAppSession.initialize() with error message:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKServerException: Unable to connect to the server: HQ-ROSIE03. - Connection refused: connect-- Error code:-2147217387 Error code name:connectServer
HQ-ROSIE03 is the server name hosting CRS 2008. I try to pass in either HQ-ROSIE03 or HQ-ROSIE03:1566 to setReportAppServer(), but no help.
On CRS2008, I checked from Central Management Console that all servers are up and running. I also add "-ipport 1566" to the commandline of ReportApplicationServer from CMC. It does not help either.
Would you please tell me what might cause the problem based on the error code and message? Thank you.
Here is the code.
        try
          ReportAppSession reportAppSession = new ReportAppSession();
          reportAppSession.createService(
          "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument");
          //HQ-ROSIE03 is the server name that hosts Crystal Reports Server 2008.
          //I tried to pass in the port number, i.e "HQ-ROSIE03:1566". But it got the same exception.
          reportAppSession.setReportAppServer("HQ-ROSIE03");
          // This is where the exception is thrown.
          reportAppSession.initialize();
          ReportClientDocument lo_ReportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
          lo_ReportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(reportAppSession.getReportAppServer());
          lo_ReportClientDoc.open(asReportName,OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
          ReportServerControl control = new ReportServerControl();
          control.setReportSource(lo_ReportClientDoc.getReportSource());
        catch(Exception exc)
            System.out.println( exc);

There is a typo when adding -ipport 1566 to the RAS server command from CMC.
It is now resolved.

A standalone Report Server

Hi to everyone.
I'd like to know if I can use a standalone Oracle Report Server 9i on a Weblogic Server 6.1 Platform.
I must use a standalone Oracle Report Server 9i because my boss wants to use Weblogic and I can't do anything about that.
I know the Report Server 9i is bundled with the OAS 9i on the Oracle web site, but I need a standalone version working on Weblogic.
So can I buy a Oracle report server like that?
If no....Is Oracle Report server 6i/6.0 a standalone version?
Thanks in advance

This topic is already present in the following thread:
Oracle Reports in WebLogic
Let's continue it here.
It is clear that many customers like to run Reports (and maybe also Forms) in another application server as 9iAS.
I think there is no discussion whether they should do this or not. A company using Weblogic or Websphere does not want to use 9iAS as well, that's far too complex from the viewpoint of management, and far too expensive.
Reports and Forms can technically run on any webserver, so the only problem is the licensing policy of Oracle.
It is clear that many customers need a Reports Server and/or Forms server license without the complete iAS license. Maybe a thin installation type for Forms/Reports in iAS (see thread in Forms discussion forum) would solve this, if a matching 'thin' license comes with it.
I think this is an opportunity for Oracle to promote Reports: Why not earn from people who just want to use this tool, and not the complete 9iAS suite?

But i didn't receive any mail.
then i check the report job id. It was showing job was successful .
And i check whether the test.xml file was created or not. It has created the test.xml file as below:
<destinations>

</attach>
</foreach>
</mail>
</destinations>
I have 2 machines having dev 10g. one machine is working fine with this code. but in my machine it was not working.
Do any one of you had a solution for my case.
Thanks in advance.

Error while starting the report server

When starting report server in Oracle 10g Reports from command prompt with
rwserver server='server_name' It is flashing a error "'The procedure entry point psoasyn could not be located in the dynamic link library orapls10.dll"
do anyone have solution for this.

Hello,
This kind of problems may occur when several Oracle products are installed.
Create a BAT file that will set the PATH variable before calling rwserver.exe
Example :
set ORACLE_HOME=d:\oracle\oas10g
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\bin\client;%ORACLE_HOME%\jlib;%ORACLE_HOME%\jre\1.4.1\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\bin\classic;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\bin;

How to find out the user from the Jobs queue in Report server

Hello All!
I have a doubt about finding out the user from the scheduled jobs queue. Say I go ahead and schedule a report on Reports Server how can I find out the user name. When I view the jobs using showjobs I could see that the DBMS_JOBS table has a column under "Job Owner". But it invariantly shows it is "rwuser". So is there a way to find out which user has scheduled which job?
Regards
Shobha

hi,
The below tables will give only the name .
USER_ADDRS
USER_ADDR
USER_ADDRP
USR02
i think you need email address .
you can use this Tcode : su01d
and give the user name and excute it
i hope it will help you.

Drop down boxes ok in Crystal Reports but not ok in Crystal Reports Server

I have the following problem with "dynamic dropdowns"
Initially, I have a Crystal Report (.rpt). It has two dynamic drop downs. They work
in both Crystal Reports Designer (preview) and Crystal Reports Server (right-click-View).
The first drop down is the result of a rather complex sql query. The second drop down
is a child of the first.
I make a small change to the sql "WHERE" clause using the Crystal Reports Designer. It works fine in preview.
I save (Enterprise mode) to Crystal Server. I use Business View Manager to configure
the _DC_n object. (I did notice that the .._DC_n gets incremented by one.)
The _DF object seems to know about the updated sql so I do not have change it.
However, when I go to back to Crystal Reports Server, and right-click-View, the
"dynamic dropdown" is not working properly. I can not make sense
of what has been retrieved.
Please tell me what is most likely to have gone wrong here? The Business View Manager
seemed to knew about the sql change. But Crystal Reports Server has
not responded to the change in the same way as Crystal Reports Designer.
...thank you, Stan

When you publish a report to Crystal Server, the dynamic prompts are no longer handled in the report itself. Instead depending on how they're published, they either go away or they're published to the "repository" and managed through the "Business View Manager" (BVM), which is available as part of the Client Tools install.
To get the dynamic prompt into the repository, you have to check the "Enable Repository Refresh" checkbox at the bottom of the "Save As" screen after you log in to CRS. However, doing it this way is NOT best practice, especially if you're using the query from the report to provide the data for the prompt. If you do this for all of your reports, you get a LOT of bloat in the repository objects and it makes the job of migrating from one version of CRS to another MUCH more difficult!
What I've done in the past to get a simple "sample" prompt published is create a report that just contains the data that I want to have in the dynamic parameter using a single table - this is usually what I call a "lookup" table that has a "code" field and a "description" or "name" field. I then create a dynamic parameter in that report that just pulls the data from the single table. I'll publish the report to my favorites with the Repository Refresh enabled.
I then run the BVM and look for the following objects (default location is under "Cascading Dynamic Prompts":
<prompt name>_DC - This is the Data Connection for the prompt. Edit this, enter the password, and set it to "Never Prompt" for the password. NOTE: This DC can be reused by multiple prompts. If you continue to add prompts through publishing Crystal Reports with prompts, you will get MANY of these that all point to the same database!
<prompt name>_DF - This is the Data Foundation for the prompts. When you create a new one, you need to select an existing DC and then either one or more tables or write a command to provide the data for your prompt. It works much like the Database Explorer in Crystal. The one that was just saved has all of the information required for the prompt.
<prompt name>_BE - This is the Business Element. When you create one, you have to select and existing DF and one or more fields. You can also create a filter on the data. This is used to generate the SQL that will be run to provide the data for the prompt.
<prompt name>_ BV - This is the Business View. When you create one, you have to select the Business Element. I'm not sure of the exact purpose of this, but you have to have one in order to set up the "List of Values".
<prompt name> - This is the List of Values (LOV). This defines what fields are available for the prompt itself.
You can create folders to organize these objects so that its easier to maintain.
To use a LOV that you've defined in BVM to feed data to new dynamic prompts, do the following:
1. Connect to CRS from Crystal.
2. Create/Edit your prompt.
3. Set the prompt to be dynamic.
4. Under "Choose a Data Source", select "Existing" and select the LOV from the drop-down list.
5. Update the properties in the parameter.
When viewing or scheduling a report, the dynamic prompts will run through the Crystal Reports 2013 Report Application Server in CRS (it will be named differently if you're not on CRS 2013, but will have "Report Application Server" in the name.)

Hi,
Before this you have to prepare your internal table with tab delimeter structure with data.
data: wa_appl_title like line of appl_title.
       concatenate fhdr '/file_details_'
                    sy-datum '_' sy-uzeit '.txt' into fhdr.

        if sy-subrc = 0.
          clear wa_appl_title.
          read table appl_title into wa_appl_title index 1.
          if sy-subrc = 0.
            transfer wa_appl_title to fhdr.
          endif.
          loop at appl_it.
            transfer appl_it to fhdr.

Publishing content from reports server to a portal page

I have a system with Forms/Reports 6i in a client/server implementation. I have 6i reports server from this on the server tier. I have added 9iAS (minimal install) to get Portal and HTTP server. I have completed the configuration and I can have the portal page submit jobs to the reports server and they are displayed properly.
But I also wish to run reports from the application. This app submits jobs to the reports server via RWCLI60. I was hoping I could use 'File' as the destype and drop off content into a directory the web server knows about and then have a portal page that will generate links to the files. These could be pdf or html output.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible and provide a short list of steps to configure it? Thanks.

there is an example of this on dev2dev, see sample code, "redirect" example

Windows developed report hangs on Unix Reports server ??

Hi,
We recently migrated from a Windows BI tier to HP-UX Itanium. The problem I have is that one particular report just hangs in the Unix reports server. The basics of the report are that it has repeating frames which displays three record blocks per page. I use a formatting trigger on a derived field to alternate the background colour of the frames.
After making several modifications to the report I've discovered that the trigger to alternate the background colour is the issue. I can use the same field with a trigger to say conditionally display a field or hide another frame and that works ok. I can set the background of the frame to another colour and the report works fine.
As soon as I use a formatting trigger to change the background it hangs.
In terms of report development I'm stuck with only Windows as Report builder is not available for our platform so troubleshooting this is a tedious process.
Has anyone seen anything like this before ????
Cheers,
Ron

hello,
oracle reports has always had this dependency. it needs the x environemtn for rendering of the output. so you need an active xsession for the reports server to point DISPLAY to.
a possible work around is the use of a soft-terminal such as VNC or xvfb (see oracle9i application server release notes for details).

HP-UX: Oracle AS 10g Reports server hangs

I have installed Oracle AS 10g Forms and reports services on HP-UX. Initially Forms and reports were working fine. Presently forms are also working fine.
However reports started giving problem REP-56055: Exceed max connections allowed then changed the value of maxconnects from 20 to 100.
Presently reports server gets hang. If I try to run test report from the URL:
http://venus.marineterminals.com:7780/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_venus_OracleAS_FormsReports+destype=cache+desformat=html+report=test.rdf
I am getting the following error message "No Response from Application Web Server " Can anybody please help me to rectify this issue.

Hello,
Most of the times, the error REP-56055: Exceed max connections allowed is returned because some reports exections are hanging and keep the connection.
Have you tried to use the Reports engine attribute "engineResponseTimeOut" in order to kill automatically the reports execution that are hanging ?

Of course, the real cause of the problem should be investigated ...
