Start report server from forms.

Hello everybody, merry chrismats to all.
Im working with Forms & Developer DevSuite in Red Hat Linux ES/AS.
Sometimes when I call a report from form using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT the report server is up & working but the forms dont find it & say FRM-41213 error, but after trying sometimes it begin to work.
Question : ¿ Is there anyway to start and stop report server from forms ?
Thanks in advanced & regards.

How to Find the Hostname / IP Address of Reports Server From Forms

Hi
We have following query to find out on which machine form server is running,
but how to find hostname/ip address of reports server (if there are more than one reports server running and on different machines).
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','HOST'), SYS_CONTEXT, SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS')
from dual.
can anybody answer?
rocky rocks.

Our oas name is the same as the box name, and the report server naming convention is rep_(oas name) so that makes it easy to find out.
I have a pll attached to my form that contains the following function, which works for PC or UNIX based app server:
-- get_oas_name - Returns OAS name.
-- caveat: Can't be run from pre-form, when-new-form-instance or when-new-block-instance of first
--          block on the form due to webutil limitation.
FUNCTION get_oas_name RETURN varchar2 IS
fp text_io.file_type;
oas_name varchar2(30);
op_sys varchar2(30) := get_application_property(OPERATING_SYSTEM);
BEGIN
if op_sys = 'WIN32COMMON' then
    oas_name := webutil_clientinfo.get_host_name;
elsif op_sys = 'SunOS' or op_sys = 'UNIX' then
    host('/bin/uname -n > /tmp/oas_name');
    fp := text_io.fopen('/tmp/oas_name','r');
    text_io.get_line(fp, oas_name);
    text_io.fclose(fp);
end if;
return oas_name;
END;Then in when_timer_expired (first place you can use webutil functionality) call it accordingly. I also use it to set platform dependant variables so the form will run
when I'm working on my PC or deployed on UNIX:
declare
:control.op_sys := get_application_property(OPERATING_SYSTEM);
begin
      :control.oas_name := get_oas_name;
      :control.report_server := 'rep_'|| :control.oas_name;
      if :control.op_sys = 'WIN32COMMON' then        -- For running locally during development.
        :control.close_page := 'http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms90/common/window_close.htm';
        :control.rpt_temp := 'c:\temp\';
      elsif :control.op_sys = 'SunOS' or :control.op_sys = 'UNIX' then
        :control.close_page := 'http://'||:control.oas_name||'.yournamehere.com:7779/forms90/common/window_close.htm';
        :control.rpt_temp := '/appl/oas/yournamehere/reports/cache/';
      end if;
end;Good luck,

Hello !
You can try to use only the web.show_document call
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet?report=agent.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss&server=srv&userid=you have to enter your username/passwort@database net name here,'_blank');
Have you defined the path for the stored reports ?
Try to locate the registy key REPORTS_PATH in the registry and add the root C:\project\reports . to the key

Accessing clustered report servers from Forms

Hi
The "Oracle Fusion Middleware Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services 11g R2 (11.1.2)" manual in Section 2.5 talks about setting up a High Availability environment for Reports.
It discusses how to set the cluster configuration and how to create a reports job repository in the database. It says that you need to have a unique name for each report server, finally it says that you should use Oracle Web Cache to load balance for the reports cluster.
If you are calling the report server from Forms with a run_report_object then you don't go via the web cache, so I am confused how you send your report request to the reports cluster in a load balanced fashion.
Has anyone done this or can explain how this works for Forms?
TIA
Tony

I know that this is an old thread, but I've taken the liberty to bump it up, as I have the same question.
The Reports documentation describes quite succinctly how to configure the report servers to be clustered - no problem there.
The issue is that when you run a report from forms using run_report_object, you are required to specify a report server name. The Reports docs specify that all of the server names must be unique, so this seems to indicate that you cannot use a clustered report server environment from Forms, or am I missing something somewhere? Oh, wait - an insight coming here - Can you (I'll test this, but it would be good to know) specify a cluster name instead of an actual report server name? Google to the rescue:
Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT: If the call specifies a Reports Server cluster name instead of a Reports Server name, the reports_servermap environment variable must be set in the Oracle Forms Services default.env file. If your Oracle Forms application uses multiple Reports Server cluster names, you can map each of those cluster names to a different Reports Server using reports_servermap in rwservlet.properties, as follows:
There's the answer. Sometimes writing the question down helps figure out the answer :)

Calling Reports 10g from Forms 10g without an app server

Hi
I have Forms 10g, and for development/testing purposes I am able to run a form in my local machine using the standalone OC4J. I needn't to deploy the form to test it.
I can do the same with Reports 10g -- run a report in my local machine without an app server.
However, I could not manage to call a Report from a Form that way, without an app server. It does not seem possible -- is it? Is there a way to set this up using the standalone OC4J or something like that?
Thanks

Hi
Sorry for the late reply.
Here's how you start the report server from windows XP machine.
1. Choose a unique name for the report server. Eg. <your_pc_name>_repserver
2. As the report server runs in its own process, it can be started by the following command, accessible from the \ bin directory of the
Oracle Developer Suite or Oracle Application Server 10g installation.
rwserver –install <server_name> . It is now treated as a windows service and hence you can stop/start or restart from the services menu.
3. If you want specific settings for your report server, look for the <rep_server_name>.conf file under <orahome>/reports/conf directory, after starting the server from above command. This file is created by oracle automatically, once the rep server gets started.
For more info on this, please refer to white papers on the Forms and reports integration, found on the otn->Forms.
Hope this helps

Start reports server

hi
i've made some experience with forms and now have to configure reports (9i web).
i read a lot of documents from otn with no success.
i'd like to start reports server as servlet under win2000.
as 2.1.2 in the docu said:
i tried http://test_oas:7778/reports/rwservlet and got the 'Servlet Command Help - page'.
2.2 verifying the reports servlet and server are running
i typed: http://test_oas:7778/reports/rwservlet/help which displayed the same page as above.
then i typed:
http://test_oas:7778/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=rep_test_oas which redirects me to 'http://test_dbs:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login' where i get a 'page not found'.
then the rep_test_oas.trc sais this:
[2003/7/27 5:42:37] Debug 50103 (RWSecurity:isPortalConnected): s_connection:oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection@682406
[2003/7/27 5:42:37] Debug 50103 (RWSecurity:isPortalConnected): s_connection:oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection@682406
on the EM-Website, ther is a system-component called reports:rep_test_oas whichs state is down. what does this component mean? when i start it, i get the message 'started' but the state is still down.
can someone help me?

used your example-code.
still get a frm-41214 and a 41213.
the errormessage when 41213 occurs is: "could not connect to reports-server rep."
the strange thing is that my server is called rep_test_oas. i've never defined a rep.

4.5 to 6i migration or report calling from forms in XE???

Hi Friends,
I really appreciate your helping tendency. Let me explain the whole scenario.
My application basically consists of
Forms [32 Bit] Version 5.0.6.8.0 (Production)
Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0
Oracle Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Now we migrated our database into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production. After the migration all the existing forms and report individually were running without any problem. But there was a huge problem. Whenever I tried to call any report from any form the report engine appeared and then stopped responding. So report calling from forms was not possible after the database migration. I was suggested by someone from OTN forum to migrate my forms and reports into 6i. I have started doing the migration using ifcmp60. WIth forms 6i, reports can be called from forms. But I am facing problem in every other steps. There are many things are not working after the migration though the migration log shows no error. For example, COMMIT_FORM, EXECUTE_QUERY (for detail table), LOV, TOOL.GETVAR lots of things are not working.
My application has 200 forms and 250 reports.
Please help and advise on:
How to call reports from form when the database is XE Or
How to overcome the stated migration problem
Rgds,
Luther

Dear Mark:
I have two choices. I can either migrate to 6i or I can go with the existing 4.5. If I go with 4.5 ......the reports are not being called from forms. This problem is happening after I changed the database from 9i to XE. Please advise what to do so that I can keep my forms in 4.5, database in XE and can call reports from forms.
Rgds,
Luther

Call report from forms6i, use report server from 10gAS

Hi there,
I have been searching for any info I can get that will help me to do the following:
I want to call an Oracle 6i report from Forms6i but I want to specify a Report Server running on an Oracle10gAS box. Can this be done in a client/server fashion, meaning the forms/reports are on a Citrix box, accessed by many users.
Everything is working fine, using "RUN_PRODUCT" and the "Report Background Engine" to generate the report on the Citrix box. However, I want to use the report server from 10gAS runinng on another box, to generate these reports.
Please reply with any help you give.
Regards
shak

Hello,
You can use the compatible element in the reports server configuration file :
Description
The compatible element is available for backward compatibility with Oracle Reports 6i clients (RWCLI60.EXE, RWCGI60.EXE, RWQMU60.EXE, RWRQM60.EXE, RWRQV60.EXE, 6i Forms). When compatible is set to 6i, Reports Server will make use of an executable file named rwproxy that listens for requests from a 6i client and forwards them to a 10g server.

Can't start reports server on Windows Server 2003 SP1 Error code 13

Hi,
This morning I figured how to start the rwserver using the command, rwserver server = repsrv. This works using XP pro physical machine but now I am trying to perform the same task on a Windows 2003 virtual machine.
I have used the line:
rwserver -install repsrv.
To add repserv to the list of available services in computer management. This has appeared as an avaiable service and so I click to start it, unfortunately every time I do I get the error message:
"Windows could not start the OracleOraAppServer10g_home1Reports [repsrv] on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 133."
I am assuming this is a security issue with Windows 2003 but I can't find a cure anywhere.
Thanks in advance for any help that anybody is able to provide
Cheers
Daniel

Hello,
Step 1) Check that you can start the reports server from a "DOS Window" :
rwserver server=repserver
Step 2) Check the PATH set for rwserver.exe when it is running as a service
Some sysinternals utilities like Process Explorer / filemon may help :

Starting application server from IDE

I'm trying to start the application server from an evaluation copy of
Visual Cafe 4.5 Enterprise Edition. When I choose Project -> Start
Application Server from the menu, a window briefly opens with "Start
Application Server" as its title and a logo of a spinning W. After
the W spins about one time the window close, with no error message
reported.
I would like to know what I should do in order to start the
application server (A developer's license of WebLogic is included)
from the IDE.

Look at the weblogic.log file
(%BEA_HOME%\wlserver6.0\config\mydomain\logs\weblogic.log) to see if
there are any error messages printed there. If not, it is probably a
license issue in that the license.bea file must be in the CLASSPATH used
to start the app server.

Defining a report server in forms

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate Oracle Forms and Reports 9i.
When I do this using a report server as an operating system process it works fine, however, when I try to do this using the J2EE servlet I doesn't seem to work.
When I define the reports server in forms, i was previsouly using the name of the service, ie. localrepserver. However, I'm a bit confused as to what to set when using a servlet.
I've tried using the URL http://localhost:8888/reports/rwservlet
any idea's?
Thanks guys

Am I right in thinking that there are two forms of reports servers, an operating system service (rwserver -install [report_server_name]) and a J2EE servlet (http://localhost:8888/reports/rwserver)?
I'm basically trying to use oracle forms to generate and display a html report, from a .rdf file.
The sciprt i'm using to do this is as follows,
DECLARE
rep_result VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('sample', REPORT_FILENAME, :GLOBAL.project_path || 'sample.rdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY('sample', REPORT_DESNAME, :GLOBAL.project_path || 'sample.htm');
rep_result := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT('sample');
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('file:///' || :GLOBAL.project_path || 'sample.htm', '_blank');
END;
In the forms property palette, there are various properties you need to define, one being the 'report server name'.
Previously, i used an operating system service as the reports server. I called this 'localrepserver'. Therefore, it was easy enough to define in the property palette. However, i'm trying do this using a servlet method. Here, i'm unsure as to what to define in the 'server' field of the property palette.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers,
Nick

Urgent Help Required For Starting RMI server from servlet.

I am currently working on rmi project.
I want to send request to remote machine(Web host) where my application is from desktop client .For that we are using RMI.
I am writing servlet and inside it i am binding object to registry for rmi server.
which will be deployed on remote server.
code ....
Registry reg;
reg=LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1099);
Server server=new Server("server");//class whose remote object to be accessed
//extends unicast remote object.Implement ServerInt interface which extends Remote.
reg.bind("server",server);
When i am trying to access this object i am getting following exception.

I can access naming enumeration of registry and object bound to it.
by following program.I shows corect objects.
Context namingContext=new InitialContext();
NamingEnumeration<NameClassPair> e=namingContext.list("rmi:");
while(e.hasMore())
System.out.println(e.next().getName());
While when i start RMI server from simple java program i can access these objects from registry.
I am not getting what is problem problem.Is there any other way to send request?
