Reports Server/running reports on the web.

I am trying to configure my web server to run reports on the web. I have followed the instructions provided by Oracle, but some is not clear. When i try to run report on the browser, i get the following error:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Oracle documentaion say the following about the steps to configure the web server:
1-Start your Web server by entering the following:
2-Start your browser.
3-Create a listener.
4-Configure your Web server mapping and note the physical and virtual directories. For example:
I have done all the steps above except creating a listener. The documentation doesnt explain that step at all.
I have created a cgi-bin directory and made it excetable and copied the rwcgi60.exe from reports server machine to the web server machine. I also copied the TNSNAMES entry for the web server from the reports server machine to the web server machine.
Here is the command i use(just trying to make sure that web CGI is responding, but it doesnt work)
http://web_server/scm/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe
Other question: On the server machine, i have 3 oracle directories: ORA81, ISUITES, 806, which one should be the home directory for the reports to work on the web??
I am using oracle 8.1.7 with 9iAS release 1.
Thanks

Please note that our CGI servlet is only used as a migration point for
people with legacy CGI. It is not intended to support people with new
development to -- we encourage you to use JSP and servlets.

Does Web logic Support CGI ?
Need to connect the Web Server with the Oracle Reports Server running
on
a
separate machine.
Which is to be referred to as CGI_Virtual Directory?

When run report from form(6i) on the web,error FRM-921000

While I was trying to run report from form (6i)on the web,it will give me this error
message FRM-921000 and hang.
But when I try to call form using form,I do
not have the problem.
May I know ehat is the cause?
Anybody encounter this before?
Thanks

I am running Forms 6i on the web and attempting to call me report via RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. I am getting the same error as Jenny FRM-92100. I need to pass a parameter list so I don't think I can use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. Any ideas???
Thanks,

Dear Jenny,
I am running reports from Forms 6i on the WEB. I did not encounter your problem. Nevertheless I would like to share the following with you.
RUN_PRODUCT doesn't work for calling reports ON THE WEB. Instead using RUN_PRODUCT do the following:
1. Install Oracle Reports Server
2. For WEB calls of reports use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
3. Learn how to pass parameters to the reports. It is a litlle bit strange, but it is explaint excellent in the documentation to the Reports Server.
I hope this will help you.

Does Crystal Reports need to be on the web server?

Hello,
here's my scenario. someone who left us moved a .Net web application from server 1 to server 2 and didn't leave us notes of what he did. The report came up on server 2 fine but was not getting the right data so we changed the datasource to get the data correctly. Now we deployed the fixed version on server 2 and refreshed the web server. Now we see the correct results BUT the Business Objects icons (e.g. BO image, print icon, forward and back icon) are all "X" meaning that they could not be found.
We took a look at server 1 and it had the full version of Crystal Reports installed on it. On server 2 it looked like the DLLs were dumped into the GAC and that's all.
We're a bit perplexed by why it was working on server 2 with all the Business Objects icons even though Crystal Reports was not installed on it until we restarted the server with the fixed code. We were thinking maybe it's some sort of caching?? I've never seen this before so I'm a bit perplexed.
Any ideas on why this happened?
Thanks for taking a look.

Hello Jeff
Mysterious for sure. When you say;
no virtual directory to crystalreportviewers115 and Crystal reports is not installed on the server (except for seeing only a few CR Dll's)...so how the heck did he get it working
You're essentially saying something like;
The car has no wheels, no engine, yet somehow it managed to get from point A to point B.
Sorry to say, but it ain't happening...
The only way to get a project that includes CR to work is to deploy the CR runtime. Either via MSI file where a simple double click will install the runtime and configure the viewer directory under the default app pool, or via a setup project you build using the CR MSM files. Again the files will be installed and the viewer directory configured under the default app pool. If your app is under a custom app pool, you need to configure the viewer folder under that pool as the install has no idea about non default app pools.

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

How to configure oracle 6i report server run time component with application server

we got oracle 6i report server for developing the web based reports for our undergoing product. we r succesed in developing the web based reports using oracle 6i report server.But we r facing problems while deploying the product with oracle reports at clients place,why because the client does not have the oracle 6i report server. To solve this problem we have to configure the oracle 6i report server run time component with application server at client side , but we are unable to configure this component(that is CGI handler).

You can run multiple instances of Reports Server in 6i.
In tnsnames.ora, for each server, have a different name and each listening to different port.
For example,
server1.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1949))
server2.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1950))

Hello,
How are you deploying the reports? Via Visual Studio, Report builder or manually uploading RDL files?

After restart Oracle Report Server some reports start automatically to run.

When our report server is restarted always a number of reports are started automatically.
I don't know why these are started automatically?
Is there a avoid starting these reports?

Hello,
If you are storing the jobs on the database then please check:
Using the Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table and API - RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE (Doc ID 72531.1)
otherwise just rename the report server .dat files
1- Go to $ORACLE_HOME/reports/server directory
2- Rename Reports Server dat file.
Unix example :
mv reports_server_name.dat reports_server_name.dat.old
3- Try again to start Reports Server
Possible causes of the issue are:
1.scheduled jobs
or
2.restart of report server while some jobs were waiting in the queue

I forgot to mention the envionment, which is 6.5.1

Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.

I am running reports on the web through Forms using Run_Report_Object built in. I am using Oracle 9iAS Enterprise Edition Release 1(1.2.2.2.2), Forms 6i Patch 9 (6.0.8.18.3) and Reports 6i Patch 9 (6.0.8.18) using CGI implementation. Most reports are running fine, but I have one that produces 125 pages and we are getting the following messages in the browser:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.
However if you look at the Reports Server Queue Status thru the browser it shows that the report did finish, but it took 16 minutes. But the user gets the above message in their browser window.
Is there a way to get the first page of the report to display, while the rest of the report finishes, so the browser window doesn't timeout and display the above error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi ,
There is no limit on the report run time. The most probable reason why you are getting the 'Report cancelled upon user request' message is the users might have hit the "cancel Report" button which is displayed when it is running in 'SYNCHRONOUS MODE'. do not hit that button as it will terminate the report. to increase the speed of returning the results by the report, try improving the sql that you use in the report, or if you have DBA rights try adding in INDEXES on the columns of the tables used by the report.
Hope this helps

Crystal Report Server XI Report recurring instances do not work. Logs?

I have scheduled a report to be run every morning, and each instance return status is "success". However, I encountered the following problem when I try to view instances of the report: There is a long time period of waiting (seems to be waiting for some kind of timeout), and then eventually the message: "A request was cancelled. The necessary security privileges could not be verified. This indicates a problem with the security server."
I also noticed that in event viewer (windows server 2003) I see many failure audits to login to the sql database, and the events contain the login used in my data source.
It's interesting to note, that when I run a single instance of the report "Now" there is no problem.
Some info about the report which may be relevant:
The report uses 2 formula fields to auto-parameterize 2 of the 5 parameters used by a subreport. The other 3 subreport parameters are set when scheduling the report.
The subreport uses a call into a stored procedure in a MS SQL server 2005 database to retrieve its records.
The 2 fields which are parameterized are datetime fields (StartTime, EndTime), and the main report is basically just a wrapper to only show the previous day.
JDBC data source to local Sql server instance.
Also, the crystal report server XI install uses the same sql server instance to store CMS data under a separate database.
I'm stumped on this.
Has anybody encountered this problem?
Is there a simpler way to auto-parameterize the report?
Why are the failure audits occurring when I view the instance of the report? Is this because the instance is setup to use RPT output format?
Are there logs I can look into aside from event viewer? I can't find anything that looks relevant under program files, but perhaps I missed something.
The failure audits would make more sense to me if it occurred with the other report instances, but some instances are shown correctly, and some just do this timeout thing.

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
BI Platform
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Thank you for your understanding,

Please help ! "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Reports Server name is not specified."

Hello Gurus,
I have an html form that allows putting in a parameter. Upon
submit the form, it'll pass a string URL with the parameter to a
new browser.
My url: http://localhost/servlet/oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet?
diary&14252
I also used keymap looks like this
diary: report=Diary.rdf server=servername desformat=pdf
destype=cache userid=id/psswd@db myoid=%1 %*
But I get an Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot
be served at this time. Oracle Reports Server CGI - Reports
Server name is not specified.
However, if I move the cursor to the end of the same url (or put
a space at the end) and hit Enter, then the report is
displayed. I guess there must be something wrong with my
configuration. Please help. I appreciated any inputs from you.
Thanks in advance.
Ashley

I found the solution to my problem. It was nothing to do with
the cgicmd.dat keymap file, but the html form itself. It's
confused between the url arguments and form arguments from the
submit button. So, what I did was open a new window with all
arguments instead of using the submit function.

Ashley

I can only speculate on some of your issues, but maybe they
might give you some insight on possible alternatives.
Mouse-Click on Display Item
The display item does not, by definition allow modification.
Have you tried changing the item to text and then disabling the
INSERT and UPDATE properties to NO? I have tried using display
items in the past, resulting in a grayed-out box on the web. To
get around this, I made the above changes and created a mouse
trigger to jump to another field when someone tried to mouse-
click on it.
Changing CLASSPATH on OAS 4.0.7
I had the same results. The OAS installation sets the CLASSPATH
to what it needs and changing it has the results you describe.
I am curious, however, are you able to view the form from the
Developer Forms Designer using the other CLASSPATH. I have not
been able to use this feature at all. I read somewhere that
this functionality is not available in the beta version. I
would appreciate any information that you can share.
Jinitiator Performance
Assuming that you have already tried cache settings and short of
the users having faster machines with more memory, faster web
access, etc. I don't think there is much we can do but wait for
Oracle and Sun to make enhancements.
I have had some success with using IE 5.0 (beta) directly
without the Jinitiator. My web applications load and run a
whole lot faster using the same configuration that you describe.
It might be worth another look!
Hope this helps.

Load oracle jdbc driver error when run applet via the web

Hi All,
I have built an applet which connect to database via jdbc thin driver. It works fine when I run it through the applet viewer, but got a problem when run it through the web.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/driver/OracleDriver
I am using jdev9i 9.0.4 and jdk 1.4.2. The jdbc version is 9.0.1
I have added both the classes12.zip and ojdbc14.zip in the class path and also pack them together with my applet class. Here is the code
public class MyApplet extends Applet
implements Runnable
public void start()
if(theThread == null)
theThread = new Thread(this);
theThread.start();
Retrieve R = new Retrieve();
this.MyMap = R.retrieveDesc();
public class Retrieve
public Retrieve()
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@babyruth.wvu.edu:1703:devdw", User, Password);
conn.setAutoCommit(true);
connectStatus = true;
public HashMap retrieveDesc()
return map;
I have also built one HTML page NewApplet like this
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> My New Applet</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<APPLET CODE="MyApplet.class" CODEBASE="menu" ARCHIVE="MyApplet.zip" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=485>

<param name="bgcolor" value="255,255,255">
</HTML>
Any advice is highly appreciated
Mei

Sir,
Well you haven't "packed" them correctly. Why don't you just add the driver bits to the soucebase tag? or something like that anyway...
Sincerely,
Slappy

Hello,
For 8.3 Reports tab running report with Delivery-Type = Email does not work.
When running with Delivery-Type = File this option works.
Has anyone got this working and what steps did you follow?

Is there any recommended patch to get BIP 11g xmlpserver.war?
