Run_report_object in forms10g: Reports Server only accept batch jobs

Hi all,
We've migrated an old forms application to forms 10g R1. To run report objects from the form applications, I use the following code to run reports with a report server (10g):
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'c:\path\to\report.rep'');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,ASYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver');
l_rep_return := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(l_rep_id, pl_id);
The parameter pl_id is a pre-filled parameter list, and the parameter l_rep_id is the report_object, which was added to the reports-node in the fmb.
By running this code, the reportserver successfully executes the report and via the report server queue I can open the created PDF file.
But, as the report_comm_mode is set to ASYNCHRONOUS, the code doesn't wait until the reportserver has finished the execution of the report, so it's impossible to show the report by web.show_document. So I've set the report_comm_mode to SYNCHRONOUS:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'c:\path\to\report.rep'');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver');
l_rep_return := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(l_rep_id, pl_id);
But when I executes this code, the execution of the report failes, and the following error code is shown in the report server queue:
Terminated with error: REP-188: Reports Server only accept batch jobs
But as you can see, the execution_mode is set to BATCH, so that is not the problem.
Is there anyone who can help me to fix this problem?
Regards,
Jeroen

I just sent you an e-mail, I hope it helps!

10g forms server & report server only

We are currently running 9ias 9.0.2.3, but would like to upgrade to 10g AS. We only use the forms and reports servers with apache, no portal, wireless, etc. and would like to do away with the infrastructure database. Which version of the 10g AS do we need to obtain? Thanks.

L2TP VPN Server only accepts one client at a time

We have an ISA570 on Site 1 with the following Network Config:
192.168.100.XXX
255.255.255.0
192.168.100.254 (GW)
ISA570
ISP Modem in Bridge Mode
So let us call my location right now as site 2. Although the network setup does not matter, let me just state it.
192.168.101.XXX
255.255.255.0
192.168.101.254 (GW)
Cisco RV042
ISP Modem in Bridge Mode
L2TP Client Network Pool:
192.168.103.100 - 192.168.100.200
255.255.255.0
DNS1 192.168.100.254
=======================================================================================
So here comes the situation
Client 1 with IP address of 192.168.101.24 connects to Site 1 via L2TP. He uses this VPN Tunnel for a desktop application which is hosted at site 1.
Client 2 with IP address of 192.168.101.17 connects to Site 1 via L2TP but is unsuccessful. Screen1.jpg below shows the Windows VPN Error.
Screen1.jpg
I can not post my configs as of now because the WAN1 of site 1 is very congested. For now I will post the guides which I followed.

What am I missing here?

Hi Dan,
The site-to-site VPN tunnel should still work with those settings. For the IPSec VPN Client, we have the Cisco VPN Client that should work. There should be a copy of it on the CD that came with the ISA500.
Here is a link that has information on setting up the Remote Access VPN on the ISA500:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/small_business_security/isa500/technical_reference/vpn/Configuring_VPN_with_Cisco_ISA500_Series_Security_Appliances.pdf
The section 'Configuration Examples of EzVPN, SSLVPN and Site-to-Site Between Cisco ISA500 Appliances' has an example at the beginning.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks,
Brandon

Issue Regarding Cyrstal Report Server 2008

Hi,
I've found some issue using crystal report server 2008 V1. The followings are my information for your reference.
Could you kindly please let me know what you can help.
-              My client has bought crystal report server 2008 V1 and deploy on the production server (window server 2008).
-              We've developed the crystal report with command object.
-              When we tested on printing report with 2 or 3 login user, report is successfully come out.
-              When concurrent users to print the same report are about 100 or 200, then we faced Load Report Failed error.
-              I've found that the Server Intelligence Agent service is stopped.
-              When installing crystal report server, we've used the same database with our application to install report server's database connection.
My questions are,
                1. Cyrstal Report Server 2008 V1 can handle how many concurrent users?
                2. Is crystal report can run without running Server Intelligence Agent service?
                   Or this service is stopped because of too many concurrent user printing crystal report?
                3. What is your suggestion on the Load Report Failed when too many access to print report?

Out of the box, the Crystal Report Server only comes with 5 named user license. So hitting it with 100+ users would result in all kinds of issues. I'm actually surprised you can hit it with anywhere close to 100 users. In order for you to be able to get to the high number of hits required, you will have to obtain more licenses. These are available in 5 concurrent user packs and you can add up to 4 of these packs. Any more than that, you're lookign at BO Enterprise.
Some resources worth looking at:
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000713358&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/crystalreportsserver/featuresfunctions/index.epx
Now, yo have posted to the .NET developer support forum, but it looks like you are not using any of the CR Server APIs. If that is the case, I'd recommend posting any further queries to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:

Running reports on Oracle 10.1.2 report server

I am running a report from the application and this particular report gets stuck randomly at formatting a certain page.
On the report server I see the job status as...
"Job status: Running the report Formatting page 42. Please wait. "
eventually the report server times out.
Environment is...
Report builder 10.1.2.0.2 (Report is build with this version)
Report application server is 10.1.2.0.2
Databse - Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.7.0 - Production
We have same problem with couple of reports, but not all.
Another report runs fine (1 page report) sometimes and hangs with the above job status some times.
Has anyone encountered this issue and what is the resolution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kishore

Hello,
A right report takes time some seconds. I don´t want a timeout, I just want it to be executed.
The report server show the message:
"Job status: running the report Formatting page N. Please wait"
where N can be 1,2,50,.... any page.
Thanks.

Run reports only as a job

Hello,
could you please kindly advice how to restrict report generations only to scheduling jobs (no foreground / interactive reports possible).
Kind Regards, Piotr

Not certain whether this is possible on a report by report basis, but it is possible on a user basis.
In Disco Admin, bring up the privileges for a user, and on the Scheduled Workbooks tab, select the "User must always schedule workbooks" option.

Flat File Processing using Batch Job

Hello,
I need some ABAP advice...
The scenario: There's a batch job that runs every hour and picks up all the files from APP server and processes them to creates idocs. Sometimes, while a batch job is running, a file is being created on the app server. But although the file is being written to and is not yet complete, the batch job picks up this file to create an idoc and hence leads to errors. Is there a way I can check if a file is already complete and then only the batch job should process the file.
I am using SAP 4.6c and it doesnt allow me to use GET DATASET attributes...
Any suggestions on how to check.....

Smartform Printing through Batch Job

Hi
Please help in the following issue :
We have a report thourgh which say 10 pages needs to be printed.
On eachpage we have page numbers like 1 of 10, 2 of 10 etc. and on the last page 10 of 10 will be printed.
when the report is executed in foreground, the rints are perfect s expected. But when the same report is executed through Batch Job, the pages are being printed as 1 of &&, 2 of && etc, when it come to last page the print is 10 of 10.
So, thr Batch job the last page of the print is OK, except all other pages, the issue is only printing this page nos.
Please advise.
Regards
Shankar

hi ,
make sure that u declared that page no printing window as final window.try it.

ABAP query to schedule through batch job

Hi
i have requirement to schedule batch job for ABAP query report and download the report data to local drive throuh batch job.
we have created ABAP query report, and this report should run through batch job and download the report data to local drive,,
please help, how we can solve this.
Regards
Vanraj

Hi Vanraj,
I have two topics to talk about:
1st: in order to schedule a background job, try to do the following:
- Go to transaction SQ01 and select your query
- Check that you've already created a variant, containing the required selection data.
- Instead of running in online, go to "Query > Execute > Exec.in background"
- This will allow you to schedule the background job.
2nd: it is NOT possible for a background job to download a file to a local PC.
I hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Alvaro

Hyperion Financial Reporting server 9.3.1 - Performance with Large batches

I have not been able to find any help yet, so hopefully someone here can help.
We have several financial reporting servers so that we can schedule reports and have users on seperate servers so that they do not interfere with each other.
The problem is that when bursted batch reports that select 100 - +1000 members from the bursting dimension run, the resources are maxing out memory and if multiple batches with the same large number of (but different members) are run at the same time, we start having failures on the services where they hang or worse the server crashes (one server crashed early this morning).
The Windows 2003 servers are Dell 2950 1x intel core 2 duo 3GHz with 8GB of RAM.
We found that if we set the java memory parms at anything higher than 1.5GB the services do not start, so all 8GB available is hardly being used by the server since the FR services (batch scheduler, print server, reports, RMI) are the only things running.
The batches are bursting the report for each member to a network folder for users to access and for archival purposes.
We may need to get Oracle involved, but if anyone here has insight I'd appreciate the assistance.

Hi Robert
I have come across similar issues where the reports take much longer to run as part of a batch than it does when accessed direct via the workspace. Our issue was that Financial Reporting was not dropping the connection to Essbase. We were using windows os and had to add a few DWORDs to the registry:
1. Open the registry and navigate to Local Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters
2. Add new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay, right click and select Modify. Select decimal radio button, type in 30 (this is the number of seconds that TCP/IP will hold on to a connection before it is released and made available again, the default is 120 seconds)
3. Add new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort, right click and select Modify. Select decimal radio button, type in 65534 (this determines the highest port number TCP can assign when an application requests an available user port from the system, the default is 5000)
4. Add new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs, right click and select Modify. Select decimal radio button, type in 6250 (this determines the number of TCP control blocks (TCBs) the system creates to support active connections, the default is 2000. As each connection requires a control block, this value determines how many active connections TCP can support simultaneously. If all control blocks are used and more connection requests arrive, TCP can prematurely release connections in the TIME_WAIT state in order to free a control block for a new connection)
I think we did this to both our essbase and application server and rebooted both afterwards, it made a dramatic improvement to batch times!!
As a personal note I try not to have too many batches running at once as they can interfere with each other and it can lead to failures. Where I have done this before we tend to use windows batch (.bat) files to launch the FR batches from the command line, if time allows I run a few batches to get a reasonable estimate of the time to complete and in my .bat file I add a pause of around that amount of time in between sending the batch requrests to the scheduler. Admittedly I've not done it yet where the number of reports in a bursting batch is as many as 1000.
Hopefully this will help

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only
My report is developed in the Crystal Reports 2008 Report Designer 12.0.0.683.
I have a .NET application that takes the report file, an ODBC connection and exports the resulting report to PDF. This application is deployed as an MSI and includes the Crystal Reports .msm merge module. The report uses multiple views and tables from a single database to create invoices in PDF format.
Problem: For one particular invoice, a blank page is being added to the end of the invoice. This blank page contains the report's standard page header. There is no missing data and no missing sections on the invoice. This is only occurring when the pdf is generated on a Windows Server 2008 x64 server where the application is deployed using the merge modules.
I have installed the application locally on my Windows Vista Business x86 system and the generated PDF does NOT contain the blank page at the end.
The blank page is not generated when previewing the report in Report Designer. For the particular invoice this is occurring on, footer F and footer G are blank and therefore suppressed.
Please bear in mind that this happens only for one particular invoice that uses this report file and does not happen from my local system using the same .rpt file.
The report is constructed of the following sections:
-Page Header (suppressed on page 1)
-Grp1 header A (watermark conditionally suppressed based upon a parameter)
-Grp1 header B (Keep together - always fits onto a single page)
-Details
-Grp1 footer A (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer B (Conditionally suppressed based upon data)
-Grp1 footer C (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer D (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section. New page before but (Not OnLastRecord))
-Grp1 footer E (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer F (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer G (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Report footer (Always blank. Suppress blank section)
-Page footer (Fixed static content, displayed on every page.)

Thanks for responding, Jonathan.
Is the same runtime installed on the 64 bit system? I notice from your version number that you do not have any service packs installed on the dev system. SP 2 is out and may help.
I have installed SP1 and SP2 this morning, resaved the report file and tried again but the same problem remains.
I'm not sure how to answer your runtime question. I am using the same application built with the same merge modules on both the dev machine and the production server. Of course, the dev machine has the additional complication of having Crystal Reports 2008 installed. Perhaps this is causing the difference?
Compare the printer settings between the two systems. Try installing the same printer driver on the 64 bit system.
Perhaps I am misinterpreting your suggestion, but I am not printing the invoices. I am only exporting them to PDF. It is the PDF that has the extra page. Is there a 'print to PDF' driver of some sort that I need?
Also, was the .NET application compiled as 32 bit, or Any CPU? Whichever it was, try switching it then recompiling to see if that helps.
I tried switching to Any CPU but this caused the Crystal Reports module not to load at all on the 64bit Windows server.
Thank you for your suggestions, but my problem remains. Is it worth trying with the redistributable msi rather than using the merge modules? If so, could you recommend which one I should use? I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

Server Socket only accept from certain IP addresses?

I'm trying to write a Server Socket that listens for connections. But I only want it to accept connections from known IP addresses. If I'm using the code below:
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(myPort);
} catch (IOException e) {
for (;;) { //loop forever
Socket clientSocket = null;
try {
clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
Is there a way that I can influence the serverSocket.accept() method to make it first check the IP address BEFORE the connection is made? If not, then is it a security vulnerability to do the following code (knownClientAddress is the only IP address I want to accept connections from):
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(myPort);
} catch (IOException e) {
for (;;) { //loop forever
Socket clientSocket = null;
try {
clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
if (clientSocket.getRemoteSocketAddress() != knownClientAddress)
clientSocket.close();
}

what would such an interface look like / example? Would that be sufficient for socket security? Can you spoof the IP when using such a method?He doesn't mean interface in the java type hierarchy sense. He means network interface. Like if your machine is on a LAN, with a 10.0, or 192.168 address AND has a public IP address as well. The IP address can be spoofed no matter where it comes from, but if you're only accepting connections on the NIC that's on your LAN, not from one that's on the WAN, then you may be able to trust all the potential connectors, and not have to worry about filtering the incoming address. The outward facing router should take care of the rest for you, or at the very least, will be better equipped to do so than any code that you could write.

Report Server has only ApShell

Hi everyone.
I installed SAP BPC MS 7.5 normally (windows server 2008 R2), no error occurred.
I created new appsets with no problems apparently.
But when I tested the SQL Server Reporting Services it is only showing the AppSet: ApShell.
I created new appsets but none of them appear when I open the page of the reporting service, only the ApShell.
Another problem is that, when I try to modify any application from a new applictation set this error is occouring:
Cannot connect to the Reporting Server
There is something wrong with the connection with BPC and the Reporting Server.
I checked the names/configurations (Report Server Virtual Directory) in both sides they are the same.
Hope anyone can help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Gisele
The user account in which BPC is running under, does it have 'Content Administrator' permissions in Reporting Services?
When modifying the application and you get the error can not connect to reporting server, could either be that the user in which BPC is running doesnt have permission to access the report server, or the value defined in Server manager is incorrect, perhaps an incorrect server name, etc
Quick test, from the BPC application server connect to the report sever URL http://<ReportServer>/Reports using the account in which BPC is installed and running under. It must have acces to connect to the report server url without it prompting for any authentication. (no username and password dialog box)
If you are not able to see the reports for the other application sets, you will need to manually publish the reports, this will recreate the reports in the report server. BPC Web Admin -> Publish Reports -> Publish the reports
Kind Regards
Daniel
