Security for reprots running by Report Server

Hi
When I run Reports in the a Forms application
usiing web.show_document() all the parameters
including user/password appears in address bar .
what should I do ???
Thanx

Hi,
I presume that you are using run_report_object or run_product to generate the report, and then web.show_document to view it. Why the need for the username and password in cgicmd.dat - am I missing something? This should only be required if you are running web.show_document directly from the form without the built-in methods.
PS: avoid putting un/psw in cgicmd.dat on a web server - not a good idea.

Pat

Scheduling reports to run with Report Server

How do I schedule a report to run with Report Server.... OR Where can I find information about setting up a schedule for reports with Report Server?
Thanx in advance.
~Vannette

Cannot get report to run using Report Server

I have installed, compiled and now have running the reports server (6i patch5a) on Linux 7.0. I can view the queue, but when I run rwcli60 to try out a report, it always complains about an invalid printer, even though one is defined (but not connected to the machine currently), and if I try destype=pdf, it just hangs for a long while, then writes errors about the Oracle Toolkit.
Is there anything you might have (papers etc) that helps troubleshoot using the report server? (we are not using 9ias currently).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Can 10g OAS run 10g Report server and 6i reports together?

Re-posted from the OAS thread: Can 10g OAS run 10g Report server and 6i reports together?
We have need to run 6i and 10g reports from the same physical server running OAS 10g.
Are there issues / conflicts?
There are hundreds of 6i reports called from many applications. Converting completely is a separate project on the books.
The need is to utilize 10g graphs on this urgent project. The graphing in 6i has not gotten along here with RAC and other distributed architecture. Additionally, I believe the 6i graph runtime would have to be installed on each client workstation... again, hundreds.
Thank you.

Hello,
You can install OAS 10g and Reports 6i on the same server as long as they are installed in different ORACLE_HOME ..
Take car to the value of the variable PATH ..

How to setup and run Oracle Report server 10g !

Hello everybody,
I have installed the Reports Server as a service on a Windows machine ( my OS is Window server 2003).

Has anyone showed me 'the syntax rwserver.exe' to install this service.
Please help me!
Thanks you very much,

Can you show me more clearly than ?
Sorry to bother you,

Performance slowdown when running through report server

There is a considerable difference between running a particular report through the report server. It is slower than when run directly from ReportBuilder.
Each points to the same data/application server. There is very little formatting or other work required of the client.
The difference is about 10-fold, i.e. a report taking 1 minute to run via ReportBuilder takes about 10 minutes when launched through the report server.
I have no idea how to begin diagnosing this. Our DBA says it is possible for the 'explain plan' to differ because the SQL is contained within the .REP file (and not as a stored procedure in the database). Even so, how/where would one begin looking to discover the reason for the dramatic performance difference?
Performance monitors on both the app/database server and the Oracle engine show that the slow running report consumes about the same amount of resources as the faster report. The slower report simply takes 10 times as long to run.
Perhaps we're not looking at the 'best' performance monitor parameters?
Anything else we can use to trace execution differences?

When we get this we try the following.
The dba's have some tool which can view the sql running under the server and the builder - you can then see if the plan is different.
Ordering - if there is a lot of ordering we get the SQL to pre order using the ORDER BY clause, this means the IAS server has less work to do (depending on your PC we find a PC is always quicker at formatting than the server).
Userlogon - we have a different user logon to that used by the server, this sometimes gives rise to different plans. You can change this in reports using ALTER_SESSION. E.g. we find this can speed up reports:
srw.do_sql('ALTER SESSION SET optimizer_index_cost_adj=50');
srw.do_sql('ALTER SESSION SET optimizer_index_caching=90'); if put in the before report trigger (nb the values may differ depending on your environment.

After upgrading AS to run Webutil, Reports Server is no longer found

Recently we update de configuration of Application Server to use the WebUtil features (FileTransfer, etc) but some clients can not view the reports (the PDF files generated and the previous html page where are passed de parameters to generate de PDF file paramform=yes <--- I mean this parameteter passed to RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC )
The curious thing is that in NetScape it Works fine, but in MS Internet Explorer does not.
Initially we thought that was the problem, a configuration in the client, but after formatting the PC, the problem persists.
In the webutils log (after enable this capabilitiy) does not show anything abnormal:
192.168.0.244:desarrollo: 2006-sep-27 12:19:46.967 WUT[setProperty()] Setting property WUC_SRV_LOGGING to 2

In a similar topic we read that it could be a problem with the reports classpath, but why webutils configuration works in some clients and with others does not?
In the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC function instead using relative address for the reports servlet we changed for a complete adress, I mean
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC(repid,
'/reports/rwservlet')
replaced with:
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC(repid,
'http://ias.website/reports/rwservlet')
But the problem persists (we have the reports and forms services in the same server)
and after debugging the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC function, in this line
rep_status := report_object_status(report_message);
report_object_status returns null
Why happends this?
Could you help us? What information need to be posted to this? what else we need to do?
We configured webutils as mentioned in the Oracle® Forms Developer
WebUtil User’s Guide
Release 1.0.6
We're using MS Windows 2003 Server, Oracle AS 10g and Oracle DB 10g
The RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC function (procedure) is the same what is mentioned in
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frmrepparamform.pdf
and the same that worked fine for a long time ago.

We added the following lines to webutiljini.htm
For IE
<PARAM NAME="BROWSER" VALUE="InternetExplorer">
<PARAM NAME="MAYSCRIPT" VALUE="TRUE">
For NetScape:
BROWSER="Netscape"
MAYSCRIPT="true"
And adding the frmwebutil.jar to the Reports Server ClassPath the problem was solved

Error While Running Oracle Reports Server(9iAS) on Red Hat Linux6.2

I have installed Oracle9iAS on Redhat Linux6.2 I have successfully started the Reports Server. While running any rdf files I m getting the error message "rwrun60: error in loading shared libraries: libXm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I don't have this libXm.so.2 file in my system. How to get this file?
Pls help me in this regard as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.

You probably need to install Open Motif (2.1.30), which you can download from:
http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif
Be sure to include /usr/X11R6/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH.
You may also need to relink:
make -f ins_reports60.mk install
after you install Open Motif.
Hope this helps.

"File download - security warning" when running a report

Hi all,
Few of our users are having an error on their PCs when trying to run a report in Internet Explorer 8 with Adobe Reader 10.1.3 installed on their PCs. The error is:
"File Download - Security Warning"
Do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it?
Name: rwservlet
Type: Unknown File Type
Find Save Cancel
Other users are able to run the reports. They have IE8 and Adobe Reader 10.1.2 installed. Any ideas why this problem might occur?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
what is the behavior if you leave adobe Reader opened and running before running the report?
Thanks, Roberto

Report does not run from Reports Server 6.0

When running a report via the Reports Server (6.0)
the report is not executed.
When checking the queue with rwrqv60 it says that
status is enqueued.
No other jobs exists in the queue. No changes has been
done in the servers config-file (rep60_test.ora).
Why isn't the job run?
Anyone got any clues?

hiya!
this sounds a bit like you might be having a generalised problem with the sound card, or drivers on the PC (given that nothing is making any noise at the moment).
let's quickly check up on something. go to your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel, and click the audio tab.
is the correct default device showing up in "Sound playback"?

Cisco Security Manager Client running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) in Terminal Service

Hello CSM Gurus,
Would there be any performance issues in CSM client software design if multiple instances of CSM client by multiple users ran concurrently on a Windows Server 2008 R2(64 bits) while CSM users accessing the server via Remote Desktop Services ?
In my environment, we have a CSM server at our major data center while security administrators from all over the world need to use this CSM server.
In order to overcome the latency of the CSM client due to the WAN network, the plan is to use a Windows Server 2008 R2(64bits) as a terminal server and all security administrators would need to access this terminal server via RDP and would launch CSM client on their desktop. The terminal server locates on the same LAN as the CSM server itself in order to minimize network latency in communications between the CSM clients running on the terminal server and the CSM server. there would be multiple instances of CSM clients running concurrently on the Windows Server 2008 R2, the terminal server.

Re: Smart Quotes crashes reports running on Reports Server 11g/Weblogic 10.

Anyone experience smart quotes stored in oracle tables that causing report to crash. Is there a parameter option in Reports 11g/Weblogic or maybe a characterset change. We are looking at modifying the call package but would prefer a parameter change. Thanks.

Ricardo,
I've done a lot of VM installations of WebLogic 11g w/ Forms but never used these VM "templates" that you use. I've always installed weblogic and Forms on a freshly installed operating system (Solaris,OEL,Redhat,Windows,etc..).
Please refer to forms installation documentation provided by Oracle: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/install.1111/e10421/toc.htm
Secondly, the statement "Oracle weblogic 10gR3" concerns me - what exact version of oracle weblogic server is installed?
You need 11g Forms with 11g Oracle WebLogic Server. The versions are a little confusing but you need one of the following setups:
1.) WebLogic Server 11g (v10.3.2) with Forms 11g (11.1.1.2)
1.) WebLogic Server 11g (v10.3.3) with Forms 11g (11.1.1.3)
2.) WebLogic Server 11g (v10.3.4) with Forms 11g (11.1.1.4) (Just recently released)
Note: Forms 11.1.1.3 and Forms 11.1.1.4 are patchsets.
Thirdly, for system specs. All minimum requirements are noted in the installation guide link i mentioned above. It depends on what environment this is and how many apps, users, etc. etc. However, for development environments i've done: usually 25GB+ HDD space, 4GB RAM, 1 CPU (1.5 Ghz+) has been sufficient.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Gavin

[Solved] iptables rules for machine running as openvpn server

I set up an older laptop as an OpenVPN server for my home network (and a dwarffortress server, but that's beside the point). This is the first time I've set something like this up - I wanted a secure way of being able to ssh into my home network from outside.
In any case, I got it working (finally figured out I needed to port forward 1194 on my router), but I wanted to make sure that my iptables-rules look reasonable:

a better way would be to block everything but outgoing and then open ports and such.

then your current(92.168.88.0/24 -j ACCEPT) forwarding will go through but not other things.

I added in lines to allow for SSH within my internal network. But now I am unable to make a OpenVPN connection from outside...what could be wrong?

Enable PDF security for PDF output of reports from Answers

In BI publisher, We have options to enable PDF output security like diable printing, Encryption etc, How do we set such options under Oracle Answers. I would like to enable security control for PDF output for all the reports from Oracle Asnwers.

Security for the Web Analysis reports

I created a report using my user id in Web Analysis studio version 11.1.1.3. When I login as another user, I can't see the report. How do I give access to other users? Do I need to change owner? I created the report under directory, where all the reports are and the users can get to those reports.
Any help would be appreciated.

You would have to go into Workspace and Edit Permissions for that report to grant access to the report.
