Running reports in a different app server

Hi,
If I use rwbuilder to build a JSP, can I simply drop the JSP into another app server (i.e. Weblogic, or JBoss) and execute it?
Or, is 9iAS required?
Thanks,
Duke

You still need a Report Server to format the report.
Unlucky enough Oracle does not sell The report server as a standalone application, which is a pity. A big market is lost this way I can imagine, as nobody is going to pay a full 9iAS Enterprise Edition license just for using reports...

Update config testsuite on 4.0.0_fixes branch to force kill the app server before running any tests when the app server is Tomcat. The regression runs were hanging on this branch when going to run the config suite because the Tomcat server isn't shutting down cleanly at the end of the MXUnit run. I believe this is an issue with the version of ActiveMQ we are using. Since I don't think we want to update ActiveMQ on this branch force killing the Tomcat server will workaround the problem.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried this on another machine running the same version of Blackboard. It works fine.
Only difference is that the machine that has the JVM crash is running on Fujitsu PrimePower and the OS is Solaris 9 (but twigged for PrimePower).
The one where it runs and starts up successfully is running on SunFire (OS is Solaris 10).
I am wondering if there is a problem with the JVM loading required libraries because of the OS being different versions.
Any leads on this is welcomed. Thank you.

Hon Peng

Background Job spool / output file in different app server

We are working with 2 ECC app servers, A and B.
I've defined in app server A a background job to run an abap report and this report creates and submit 4 other background jobs.
Each of these 4 jobs is regarding an abap report which outputs a text file in the server.
The question is, why are the jobs generating the files in different app servers randomically?
The same file, in the 1st execution was generated in app server A, and without any change was generated in app server B, in the job 2nd execution?
Thank you!

Hi,
You can specify server name whille creating a batch job , so that it gets executed to that server only.
there is one field (in SM36 during creation or SM37 while modifying batch job) called "Exec Target " , where you can specify server name.
Hence you can plan to run your some batch jobs on server A or B.

Scheduling jobs in different app server

Hi all,
Does anyone knows how to schedule a background job in a specific app server, by using FM JOB_SUBMIT / JOB_CLOSE?
I've analysed SAP documentation for these FMs and it says that the parameter EXTPGM_SYSTEM can be used to inform the app server in which the program will be ran. However, it seems to be for external programs and my requirement is just to set a abap report to run in a specific app server.
SAP documentation says:
EXTPGM_SYSTEM Parameter
Name of the host system on which an external program is to be run. You must supply a value for this parameter.
Note: You must specify both the name of an external program and the name of the system on which it is to be executed.
As I don't have an external program, just the abap report, I'm not sure I can use such parameter to schedule the job at the desired app server.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Rafael.

Kartik,
there is another program which people uses to read the generated files. As per the server load balancing, some output files are being created in server A, and some in server B. With this parameter, the output files would be generated only in server A.
So, Bryan, that does make sense.
So, you mean I should consider only JOB_CLOSE in order to inform target system? Should I ignore the external program parameters in JOB_OPEN?

Urgent: problem running reports in Oracle 10g application server

Hi all,
our problem is that we deployed a jsp report as Ear file in Oracle 10g application server in infrastructure node.deployment says successfull.when we try to run that report it says 401 unauthorised.while sending request we are passing the database username,password &sid is this correct or any configuration setting to be done to make it run.
one morething normal jsp works fine.when we run reports jsp it gives the above mentioned 401 error.

hello,
when you deploy reports JSPs they still require the reports specific componentes (e.g. TLD file, classes, ...) etc be available. i doubt that's the case in your ear file.
thanks,
ph.

Can I run Servlets in the Sun App Server?

I am trying to run a servlet. I am not sure if I can run the same using the Sun app server. any help to clarify the following queries would be appreciated.
1. Should I have to specify a path in the environmental variables?
2. Is there a web site that tells me the same with respect to running the servlet on a Sun app server.
Thanks in advance.
--Srikanta

I'm not sure what you want in regards to question, but I can assure you that you can run servlets in S1AS7. My recommendation is to just package your servlet into a web archive (war) and deploy it. You can deploy it via the commandline (asadmin) or the web based administrative client (likely http://localhost:4848). For more information on this I suggest reading:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-7150-10/index.html
You must likely want to read the section on assembling and deploying web applications.

Page Break does not work in PDF report when deployed to App Server

I have a report with a PAGE Break before on a repeating frame that holds a matrix report. In reports designer on the PC, the report correctly shows the page break. When deployed to the app server, the report shows the page after the break superimposed on top of the page before the break.
The report has a repeating frame that spans both pages and holds the header information (page 1), and the matrix report (page 2).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Running a Java Class in Apps Server?

Does anyone have a clue how to just simply run an existing *.class using Oracle Apps Server as the web server listener?
I'm assuming there is some default path that I should place my *.class file in??? Or some unique way to call it from the <applet> tag???
null

Thanks your response. I'm on sp3.
The application is "Factory".
The Java Project in "Factory".
In the Java project there is a folder "pac", in that folder there is a class with a main method called "ProviderClient"
In the "Factory" Java project properties/debugger window, Build before debugging is checked, also Create new process. Main class: pac.ProviderClient
Home directory: C:/bea/user_projects/MyApps/Factory/Factory/

Passing data from a background job to RFC calls in different App server

The program i am working on can be explained in the following steps:
Step A- We use a standard program that is executed as a background job and the standard program obtains some data for a particular scenario.
Step B - The job(standard program) during its execution creates many RFCs executed as dialog work processes on various application servers and processes data.In the RFCs various exits are executed.
We currently write data to database(Z table) in Step A and retreive data in exits in Step B to access the information written to DB(Z table). We want to eliminate writing to database since it consumes time.
Is there any solution apart from writing data to database and retreiving the same.
I am not sure if we can use ABAP memory or SAP memory to access the information in the exits since they are executed on different App servers.

We have not been able to arrive at a solution to the below, any solutions / inputs will be rewarded.

How to deploy a war file from a different app server to the SAP one

Hello,
I hve recieved a war file from Tomcat that needs to be deployed on the SAP Java App server. As far as I know the SDM only allows to deploy ear files. How can I deploy this war to the app server?

Hi Roy,
in order to deploy the WAR file you have to wrap an EAR around it. I had the same problem.
You can do this using Netweaver Developer studio.
Perform the following steps:
- Start NWDS
- Create a New Enterprise Application Project
- Create a New Web Module Project (name it like your war file => e.g. your war file is called myApp.war => call your Web Module myApp)
- Edit the application.xml of your Enterprise App if necessary (description, Displayname etc.)
- Link your Web Archive to your application archive (right Mouse click on Application Archive and from the Context Menu choose "Add Modules" => In the list choose your Web Module)
=> You can also perform a right mouse click on your web Module and from the context menu choose "Add to EAR Project" => In the list choose your Enterprise Application!
- Build Web Archive (right mouse click on your Web Module and from the context menu choose "Build Web Archive" => This will create a war file that has the same name as your war file! => If you do not see it try to switch to resource perspective!)
- Build Application archive (right mouse click on Application archive => from the context menu choose "Build Application Archive")
You are done
The EAR file is generated and will be created in your workspace.
Now browse to your workspace. Unpack the EAR using WinZip or any other Archiver program.
Replace the contained war with your war and repack the ear file (You can also use tools like Total Commander to directly replace the war file in the EAR with your war without having to unpack the war). You can also import your war into NWDS and rebuild it so you won't have to replace the WAR in the EAR but as your WAR is already built I would just replace it as described!
You can now deploy the ear file to SAP J2EE
Hope this helps (Reward points for helpful answers are appreciated!)
Cheers

Sending Report via Email from app Serv 10g

I am able to generate a report as an email using the following link
http://server:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=xx/xx@xx&module=ord_ack.rdf&destype=MAIL&DESNAME=[email protected]&desformat=pdf&subject="Order Placed"&from=[email protected]&A_SEQ_ORDER_NO=4104&a_user=NKW&a_by_user=NKW&A_PRINT_KIT=Y&A_RPT_NAME=P
The issue is that the email is blank... I've tried using &body=" " or &message=" " to no affect.
This is going to be user defined text, so I need to be variable. Anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Scott

I believe with destype=mail, the whole report is going to be attached as a file, so there is no body message.
Are you getting the report attached as a .pdf file ?
If you want to customize the body with a message and send the report as a .pdf attachment then look at chapter 15 - Creating Advanced Distributions, basically, you would be doing XML distribution.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048.pdf
i.e.
Sample XML file
<mail id="grx90" to="[email protected]">
<body srcType="text">
Attached you will find the summary report and breakdown by department of weekly
totals.
</body>
<attach format="rtf" name="myAttach.rtf" srcType="report">
<include src="report"/>
</attach>Sample URL
http://your_server:port/reports/rwservlet?report=rep.jsp&userid=db_credentials&destination=$ORACLE_HOME/reports/distribution/distribution.xml&distribute=yes

How to download Lion to a computer already running Lion using a different app store account?

Hello Everyone,
I currently have Lion installed on my imac. A friend of mine currently has problems with his internet connection and would like me to download a copy for him. Anyway, I logged into the app store using his account but it won't let me download a copy for him. Lion just shows as being installed which is the case but I want a copy for him to burn to dvd. Do any of you know a solution to this? Of course, I could burn my copy for him but he wants his own.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded Lion again using my account and I have a copy of the installer that we could install on my friend's machine but we are concerned that he wouldn't get updates via the app store. This is why we wanted to purchase it for him using his account. The problem is that I can't buy it for him on my machine using his id because Lion is already running on my imac. We're trying to do this correctly and legally but it's proving to be quite difficult. Thanks again.

Moving Users across different App Server versions

Hi everyone,
I need to move users and groups from a 9iAS portal to a 10gAS system which uses 10.1.2.0.2 for OID.
I was wondering if we can move users, groups into the new OID alongwith their passwords. I tried to search on forums but could not get a clear help. Has anyone done the same thing before, and would like to drop a hint or two on how to do it please?
will highly appreciate.
thanks.

Thank you very much Grant for your help. I appreciate it.
1. first method requires us to upgrade systems to 10g and then to 10.1.2.0.2. I am familiar with the first choice but have hesitation to take it.
This is a painful upgrade and we just finished upgrading, adjusting and fixing applications in our portal upgrade paths from 309 to 904, 10.1.2.0.2 and then to 10.1.4.0.0. Here for OID upgrade, we won't need the third stage but even the two takes a few days. Even backup costs 5 hours for our repository. so by the time we finish this, the list of users become old/obsolete. we need to move users for the launch phase of the upgraded portal.
2. the second method and track apparently should be fine to extract users and info. however, i haven't seen any method or procedure in the Metalink literature to keep their passwords intact. in fact, on the contrary, they suggest that the password attributes cannot be moved using ldapadd and bulkload in 10.1.2. (ref It is not possible to load orclpassword or authpassword attributes using either ldapadd or bulkload. Reference Note 401662.1 ). That leaves the choice of resetting passwords to some default pwd as one article suggests.
But our client is reluctant to email or communicate passwords to users by any method. This is the cause of this hesitation.
OID is still quite new to me and I am wondering if any other method (other than the ladapadd and bulkload) can be used to migrate users/groups without sacrificing the passwords.
thank you very much.
with kind regards,
AMN

Using 9i reports server on 9i Apps server

I am in the process of migrating from Forms 6i and Reports 6i to running the forms and reports (*.rdf) on an Apps Server. I have managed to get the Forms and its embdeded graphs (*.ogd) working but am getting nowhere with the reports. The old standalone (6i) forms used to have a simple code to do RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,<reportfielname>, ... whicg would casue the reports background engine to run on the client and then use the Reports runtime engine.
I have read the documentation on using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built in but nothing happens .. My Apps Server has a component (created by default?) called Reports Server: rep_AN17001323j. How do I reference that in the Forms Report object code?

Hi,
The problem is indeed that host A is in an other subnet as host B.
When running rwdiag -findAll, you can see which reports servers you can access in your current subnet.
When issuing rwdiag -find <rep> you can try finding the reports server on host B.
After configuring a 2 way reports bridge, I was able to find the reports server on host B
and you should get something like:
Broadcast mechanism used to locate servers
Channel address = 228.5.6.7
Channel port = 14021
'<rep>' found in the network
Time taken - 15 milliseconds
Name = <rep> : null
Thanks for your help!
