Unable to connect XL Reporter in 2007 B

Hi Experts,
I'm facing a problem in XL Reporter as whenever I click on Tools-XL Reporter, I get an error message as
Unable to connect XL Reporter
Error! User Authentication Failed
Cause: Invalid use of Null
I've upgraded from 2005 B to 2007 B and database is SQL Server 2005.
Help is needed urgently.
Thanks & Regards,
Kaps.

Hi Kaps,
Based on the error message, it is User Authentication problem. Have you checked if the user has proper User Authentication?
Thanks,
Gordon

Error calling report FRM-41213 unable to connect to Report Server

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Database 10g R2 and Oracle Developer 10gR2.
I installed it in both Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP2.
I would like to call a Report using a button inside Oracle Form.
I create my own Report Server, using : rwserver server=repsrv
A Java-based window appear OracleAS Reports Sevice, and showed that repsrv is ready.
In Form (inside a button -> WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED) :
1. Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT()
   rep_id := find_report_object('REPORT10');
     if not id_null(rep_id) then
       v_rep := run_report_object(rep_id);
     else
          message('Null');
   end if;
   a. If I did not specify the name of the Report Server in Reports node of Form's property object
(I leave it blank)
The following error appear :
FRM-41211: Integration error, SSL failure running another product
b. If I specify the name of the Report Server : repsrv
The following error appear :
FRM-41213: Unable to connect to Reports Server repsrv
2. Using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()
a. If did not I specify the server name in the parameter
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| SUBSTR(v_rep,INSTR(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||,'_blank');Another web browser appear and the following error appear :
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
b. If I specify the server name in the parameter --> server='repsrv'
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| SUBSTR(v_rep,INSTR(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');Another web browser appear and the following error appear :
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
In Report :
If I try to navigate manually to :
1. http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet using web browser.
It showed OracleAS Report Services - Servlet Command Help page.
2. http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?userid=scott/tiger@orcl&report=D:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
3. Finally,
http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?server=REPSRV&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&report=C:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
4. Any attempt to different command (i.e showenv, showjobs, etc) seems failed
If I did not specify the server then REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
If I specify the server - 'repsrv' then REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
5. I have tried to use rwrun in command line.
rwrun report="D:\My Documents\form\module1.jsp" userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname="D:\My Documents\form\module2.pdf"
The PDF file created and it looks exactly as the web layout as in Oracle Report Builder (Run Web Layout CTRL-R)
Question :
1. What supposed to be done?
The Report server is ready, but the web browser seems unable to connect to Report Server.
2. Can we used or call or executed an executable command line from Form (using PL/SQL inside button)?
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
Problem solved.
I got the solution from another post.
Re: REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep failed
Here are the step I did.
Note : Please make backup for the following file : rwnetwork.conf
- In file rwnetwork.conf, remove or commented the following
<multicast channel="228.5.6.7" port="14021" timeout="1000" retry="3"/>
- And then uncommented
<namingService name="Cos" host="%NAMING_HOST%" port="%NAMING_PORT%"/>
- replace the
%NAMING_HOST% with your computer name or specify an IP address
%NAMING_PORT% with 14021
It should look like this :
<namingService name="Cos" host="blahblah" port="14021"/>
- I did not change the : name="Cos", since I do not understand what does it for
- Save you changes.
- Start the OC4J.
- Find the location of : namingservice.bat (on Windows platform)
- execute in the command line : namingservice.bat 14021
- finally start the report in the web browser
Note:
To shutdown the namingservice, use : namingservice.bat 14021 shutdown
Regards.

Unable to connect to reports server

Hi All,
I have an oracle forms application available on a machine server1 with url http://server1:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=x and the same application also available from another machine server2 with url http://server2:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=x
The reports server name is stored in a database table as rep_server2.
When i attempt to call a report from a form running on the server server2, the report call is successful. However when i attempt to call a report from the same form running on the server server1, i get an error FRM-41213: Unable to connect to the report server rep_server2
How do i get the call to rep_server2 to work from the url http://server1:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=x
Thanks

1 Are the server 1 & 2 in the same network?
2 Are the reports versions in 1 & 2 are same ?
3 Could you use the below fmx and check if you are able to find the reports server from the server where
it doesnt work

Unable to connect Forms, Reports to Personal Oracle8i

Hi everyone
I have installed Oracle 8i Personal Edition on Windows 98, and I have installed Oracle Developer. I am unable to connect to the Oracle Database from either Forms or Reports to the Personal Oracle Database. I tried connecting using
User : scott
password : tiger
database : oracle
orcl
<with no database>
But nothing helped..
I am able to connect to the database from SQLPLUS with no connect string.
I would appreciate, if someone could give me the solution for this problem.. and if it is possible to do so.
Thanks in advance

This is what I tried:
1. sqlnet.ora, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora are in the C:\oracle\ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN directory.
2. sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora are in the C:\ORAWIN95\NET80\ADMIN directory (On my machine the
sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora file belong in the C:\ORAWIN95\NET80\ADMIN directory rather than ORAWIN95\NETWORK directory)
3. Here is what my listern.ora file looks like:

6. I start PO8i, Developer and the listener. All start ok.
7. Cannot connect from Forms Builder via scott/tiger/orcl
8. is the HOST setting supposed to be the HOST listed within my TCP/IP settings? If so, I tried that and it did not work.
any suggestions?

Unable to connect through Reports

Hi,
I am unable to connect to Oracle using Reports alone.
Whereas I can connect /work through forms /SQL/ Discoverer.
When I try to connect from reports, I get the following error message appears:
PDE-PXC002 Program unit exception. aborted due to unhandled exception (4062).
Can somone tell how I can make the reports connect?
Thanking you in advance,

Hi Srini,
It looks like you actually was able to connect to database, otherwise, you won't get Program unix exception.
Please check your program unix code to make sure the plsql code handles exception as error pointed.

I did not see any errors in the server trace files. The tnsnames look good. They connect to a oracle DB

In the ssl.conf I put the listen port as 4444 ,
but when I go to the OEM of the report server - ports , it does not show me the port used as 4444 , the field is blank.
is there any place I need to make the port change to 4444

Again FRM-41213: Unable to connect to Report Server

Hi all
I've been fighting with this problem a week, but I can not understand why my form, which works fine in the Oracle DS Report Server, can not run the report in the Oracle AS.
I'm using the Oracle AS 10g. All forms and reports are done in the DS 10g too. All testing stuff I've made at once:
1. rwclient works good
2. rwservlet works too
3. SSL is switched off
The report server, which I use is in-proc sservice (installed during the installation of AS). I did not make any other service of reports - I think it must work too.
I've made such code:
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT(pReportParams Report_Params_Type)
AS
lParamList ParamList;
lReport REPORT_OBJECT;
lReturn VARCHAR2(100);
lRepServer VARCHAR2(100);
lHost VARCHAR2(20);
lPort VARCHAR2(6);
lURLStr VARCHAR2(100);
lStatus VARCHAR2(100);
ljobID VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
     lReport := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(pReportParams.ReportName);
     TOOL_ENV.GETVAR('REPORTSERVERNAME', lRepServer);
     IF TRIM(lRepServer) IS NULL THEN
          SHOW_ERROR_MESSAGE('Report server name is not defined in the .env file');
     ELSE
          lRepServer := TRIM(lRepServer);
     END IF;
     TOOL_ENV.GETVAR('HOSTNAME', lHost);
     IF TRIM(lHost) IS NULL THEN
          SHOW_ERROR_MESSAGE('Report server host is not defined in the .env file');
     END IF;
TOOL_ENV.GETVAR('REPORTSERVERPORT', lPort);
     /*IF TRIM(lPort) IS NULL THEN
          SHOW_ERROR_MESSAGE('Report server port is not defined in the .env file');
     END IF;     */
     IF ID_NULL(lReport) THEN
          Show_Error_Message('Report '||pReportParams.ReportName||' is not found');
     END IF;
     lParamList := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('REPORT_PARAMS');
     IF NOT ID_NULL(lParamList) THEN
          DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(lParamList);
     END IF;
     lParamList := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('REPORT_PARAMS');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lReport, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lReport, REPORT_COMM_MODE, ASYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lReport, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE); --cache/printer
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lReport, REPORT_DESFORMAT, pReportParams.Format);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lReport, REPORT_SERVER, lRepServer);
lReturn := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(lReport, lParamList);
ljobID := SUBSTR(lReturn, LENGTH(lRepServer) + 2, LENGTH(lReturn));
IF ljobID IS NOT NULL THEN
lStatus := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(lReturn);
WHILE lStatus in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
lStatus := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(lReturn);
END LOOP;
IF lStatus = 'FINISHED' THEN
     IF TRIM(lPort) IS NOT NULL THEN
lURLStr := 'http://'||lHost||':'||lPort||'/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||ljobID||'?server='||lRepServer;
     ELSE
          lURLStr := 'http://'||lHost||'/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||ljobID||'?server='||lRepServer;
     END IF;
     SHOW_INFO_MESSAGE(lURLStr);
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(lURLStr, '_blank');
ELSE
Message('Report can not be run with status '|| lStatus);
END IF;
END IF;
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(lParamList);
END;
END;
The parameters: REPORTSERVERNAME, HOSTNAME, REPORTSERVERPORT are decribed in the env file. the name of the server is defined correctly.
I noticed that the procedure
lReturn := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(lReport, lParamList);
returns <server_name_0>. In the result, the job=0 - I think the forms service can not access to the report service, but I can not understand why.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

1) pls make sure inproc server is up
inproc server is hosted in oc4_bi_forms j2ee container. so oc4j_bi_forms should also be up
give
http://host:port/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo?server=server_name
and you can see status of server. (or you can in oracle enterprise manager)
You can also see status of submitted jobs using
http://host:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=server_name
2) any reports servlet command will automatically start inproc server.
but submitting a request thru run_report_object will not make it start automatically

Hi Gordon,
OK, i found out the issue.
I was testing Excel Reporter onto a restore named :
-> SBO_ALF_LB_PROD_08_01_2010-Full Database Backup_Version_2007
Excel Reporter was not working with the message I sent you earlier.
But doing the same with the same system renamed :
-> SBO_ALF_LB_PROD_08_01_2010
And Excel Reporter works fineu2026.
SAP is a bit tricky, isn't it ?

3, MOSS 2007
Another question is how could I update the BOE connection info of the web part (like credential info) after installed BO PIK for Sharepoint 2007?

Not sure if this helps as I have CRSXIR2 not BOE (though the web parts are probably the same thing). I had to edit the web.config for the MOSS web application to pass through the relevant credentials, but it seems only able to pass a userid - the password must be blank so I also had to create a user on CRS with no password. I expect it depends what type of authentication you need to use for BOE.
