Reports startup exception

Question

I have been trying to run "reports JSP" through JDeveloper using the embedded OC4J test server and i always get the following exception:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: REP-52266: The in-process Reports Server rep_brown-8ir2ayw5s failed to start.exception oracle.reports.RWException { oracle.reports.RWError[] errorChain={struct oracle.reports.RWError { int errorCode=52266, java.lang.String errorString="The in-process Reports Server rep_brown-8ir2ayw5s failed to start.", java.lang.String moduleName="REP" }} }

I have tried running the same report using reports builder and it works fine, but crashes when running using jdeveloper.
I'm using the 9.0.4 suite.
Thanks for the help in advance

Answer 1

There are many reasons for failing of in-process server on indows and unix.
IF it is windows box then probably try following--
Make sure to:
Set a valid directory for the REPORTS_TMP (in the registry).
- the user logged in has permissions to the directory defined in the REPORTS_TMP;
- the directory defined in the REPORTS_TMP are accessible and not via a mapped network drive;
- there is adequate disk drive space to accommodate the size of the directory defined in the REPORTS_TMP environment variable in the registry.
- check for any directory containing a space (in REPORTS_TMP) and reset it to a directory without a space.
For example it's possible that:
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\TssAdmin\Local Settings\Temp -> Does not work
C:\DOCUME~1\TssAdmin\Local -> Does work
Please provide the OS and version of AS being used .
Also meanwhile you can try running report from builder using WEB LAYOUT option.
