Unable to find Reports server running on another host

hi.
i have two physical unix servers running reports service Server A - oracle reports service 9i R2
server_in_process=no
service name=rep_9iR2
Server B - oracle reprots service 10g R2.
server_in_process=yes
service name=rep_10gR2
i am getting REP-51002 error when i try to run reports through forms from Server-A to Server-B and vice versa.
I checked osfind on 9i and rwdiag.sh -findAll on 10g but not getting other server.
i checked rwnetwork.conf and activated namingService cos on 10g but still not getting.
can anybody give solution to this.
thanks in adv.

Hello,
It is possible for 9.0.4 / 10.1.2.0.2
8.1.1 Enabling Backward Compatibility with 9.0.4
Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) replaces the use of Borland VisiBroker with Sun Microsystems industry-standard Java Developer's Kit Object Request Broker (JDK ORB), providing support for Reports Server requests from clients across subnets, and using the broadcast mechanism for dynamic Reports Server discovery, both within a subnet and across subnets. For information about the changes related to JDK ORB, refer to the Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web manual.
For releases prior to 9.0.4.3, you must apply the patch issued for 9.0.4.2 to achieve ORB backward compatibility between Oracle Reports (9.0.4) client and 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) server, or vice versa. Beginning with 9.0.4.3, the patch is included in the installation.
Platform-specific details for this patch are provided in bug 4092150.
...but does not seem to be possible for 9.0.2 / 10.1.2.0.2

"Unable to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct". Performance Point Dashboard Designer (SP 2013), SSRS 2012 Report.

Hello Everybody,
I am using Sharepoint server 2013 , SQL Server 2012 SP1, PerfomancePoint and Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode.
I built one report in SSDTusing an Analysis Services Cube. This report has 3 parameters. So the idea is use Dashboard Designer to use this SSRS Report and connect it with some PP Filters.
The issue is that I am always obtaining "Unable to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct".
I have the following settings in the PP Report:
Server Mode: SharePoint Integrated
SharePoint Site: http://MySharrepointSite:PortNumber/sites/bicenter
Document library : Documents (selected from drop down, my report is deployed to document library)
Report : report.rdl
When I select the report from drop down list its giving the error in a pop up message box as "Unable
to find report specified by URL,Please verify that both Server URL and Report URL are correct".
I have tried to use the most simple report, only with one parameter, but is always displaying the error above.
When I open the report directly from documents library its working fine and even it is working fine (
when I deployed the report) but the issue is parameters are not showing.
Any idea? Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

"Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService.
Hello Tom,
It should be "ReportServer" in the URL, not "ReportService".
In "Reporting Service Configuration Manager" look up the correct URL. Open Internet Explorer with right-mouse click => "Run as Administrator" and open the URL, this should work. Navigate to "Side setting" (on top right side),
go to tab "Security" and add your account with role "System Administrator". Afterwards you should be able to open the URL without running IE as admin.

How to configure oracle 6i report server run time component with application server

we got oracle 6i report server for developing the web based reports for our undergoing product. we r succesed in developing the web based reports using oracle 6i report server.But we r facing problems while deploying the product with oracle reports at clients place,why because the client does not have the oracle 6i report server. To solve this problem we have to configure the oracle 6i report server run time component with application server at client side , but we are unable to configure this component(that is CGI handler).

You can run multiple instances of Reports Server in 6i.
In tnsnames.ora, for each server, have a different name and each listening to different port.
For example,
server1.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1949))
server2.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1950))
Also, if you want to know about Reports Server Clustering, you may refer to "Publishing Reports" document on OTN:

I received a message to upgrade my Firefox version . It went to successful completion but I get a message unable to find proxy server?

After updating to latest version of Firefox i am unable to access internet. Get message Unable to find proxy server. This update also disable internet explorer so I cannot use it to access either. The desktop that I am having trouble with is running Windows XP Professional.

hi, please check in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'' if firefox is set up to directly connect to the internet ('no proxy').
and maybe also run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

Unable to find ant to run

I just install CFB to test but after I create my first test.cfm page and setup server I received this message when I tried to run the application.
"unable to find ant to run "

The JUnit task requires 2 jars to be in the classpath when Ant is run:
1) ant-junit.jar
2) junit.jar
According to the Ant manual you have two choices:
1) Add junit.jar to the classpath
2) Remove ant-junit.jar from the ant/lib directory and redefine the task in the build script, with a <taskdef> and a nested <classpath> elements.

Reports Server/running reports on the web.

I am trying to configure my web server to run reports on the web. I have followed the instructions provided by Oracle, but some is not clear. When i try to run report on the browser, i get the following error:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Oracle documentaion say the following about the steps to configure the web server:
1-Start your Web server by entering the following:
2-Start your browser.
3-Create a listener.
4-Configure your Web server mapping and note the physical and virtual directories. For example:
I have done all the steps above except creating a listener. The documentation doesnt explain that step at all.
I have created a cgi-bin directory and made it excetable and copied the rwcgi60.exe from reports server machine to the web server machine. I also copied the TNSNAMES entry for the web server from the reports server machine to the web server machine.
Here is the command i use(just trying to make sure that web CGI is responding, but it doesnt work)
http://web_server/scm/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe
Other question: On the server machine, i have 3 oracle directories: ORA81, ISUITES, 806, which one should be the home directory for the reports to work on the web??
I am using oracle 8.1.7 with 9iAS release 1.
Thanks

Please note that our CGI servlet is only used as a migration point for
people with legacy CGI. It is not intended to support people with new

I do have the exact problem with my bold, I have my laptop and a nokia phone connected to home wi-fi and both working perfectly.
the issue with the bold is that it connects to the wi-fi network but it works only for few minutes and then the browser says: "Unable to find requested server" and the Wi-fi mark changes to gray after i was able to visit few sites. i dont have or intend to have a data plan as I have access to Wi-fi connection almost all the time. I have tried resetting the router and it didn't work. Any one with the right solution???

I keep getting 'unable to find requested server' while trying to go on internet

I bought the Blackberry curve last week and have had pblms connecting to home wi fi. I have it all set up and the fone recognises the wi fi on it and only let me connect once to the wi fi. After that it keeps coming up with the message - unable to find requested server - even though it did work once the first time after I had set up the wi fi wizard. I had put in the key. Can someone help please.

Hi gerrybl,
Welcome to the Suppport Forums!

Unable to find requested server

have a contract with a data plan but when I try to use my wifi at home it says that I am connected but when I go to the internet brower it tells me "Unable to find requested server". This only happends on my wifi at home. My other devices work without a problem on my home wifi. What do I need to do to get my Blackberry Torch 9800 to work off from my home wifi?

I had this problem untl I setup a Hom Network that included my smartphone which shows up with it's own separate IP address. My office PC is the host and it is ethernet or wired network. I have 2 wire gateway wifi modem and all is supported by my carrier. I feel confident if you contact your ISP and ask for help in setting up a Home Network your problem will be solved. Btw, make sure your wireless Customer Service is informed by their Internet Service Support and by yourself. Good luck

I. Brief summary on the architecture of Reports Server, CGI and Reports
Servlet
II. Sources of errors encountered when running a report with Reports Server
III. How the CGI (or the Reports Servlet) communicates with the Reports
Server
IV. Possible reasons which lead to "Unable to communicate with the Reports
Server" error.
1) Reports Server is up and running
2) tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora problems
3) Effect of parameter "ORACLE_HOME"
4) Effect of parameter "maxconnect"
5) Passing very large parameters to reports server
6) A case specific to OAS 4.0.8.2
7) A case specific to WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3
V. References
I. Brief summary on the architecture of Reports Server, CGI and Reports Servlet
=================================================================================
In order to understand the causes of the error "Unable to communicate with the
Reports Server", let's first briefly review the Reports Runtime Engines, Reports
Server, the Reports CGI, and Reports Servlet architecture.
There are 4 important layers in Reports Server architecture which should be
understood in order to clearly understand the error "Unable to communicate with
the Reports Server" :
1) The Runtime Engines : This is the main layer where the reports are actually
executed. On unix systems there are "rwrun60" and on NT systems there are
"rwrun60.exe" processes.
2) The Reports Server : The Reports Server recieves the job request and queues
it. When one of its runtime engines becomes available, it sends the
command line to that runtime engine for execution. On Unix systems it is
the "rwmts60" executable and on NT systems it is "rwmts60.exe".
3) The Reports CGI : The Reports Web CGI passes the request to the Reports Server.
The Reports CGI or Servlet converts the request to a command line that can be executed by the Reports Server and
submits it to the specified Reports Server. On Unix platforms this executable
is "rwcgi60" and on NTs it is "rwcgi60.exe.
4) The Reports Servlet : Its functionality and function is just the same as "Reports CGI", but it is
a program written in Java as difference to the CGI program (which is
written in C programming language).
The Reports Server may be running on the same server with the CGI program (or
servlet) OR may reside totally on another machine which does not necessarily have
the same Operating System. For instance CGI may reside in a Windows NT machine
while the Reports server may reside on a Unix box, or any other combination with
Unix-Linux-NT-2000, etc.
The reports are called with a URL similar to below with the CGI :
http://fully.qualified.server.name:PORT/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=<REPSERVER>&other_parameters=...........
where fully.qualified.server.name is the name of the server where the Reports CGI
reside, and <REPSERVER> is the name of the server.
II. Sources of errors encountered when running a report with Reports Server
============================================================================
The Reports Web CGI (or the Reports Servlet) makes a call to the Reports Server
and asks it to place the output into some destination (defined by DESTYPE and
DESNAME parameters), then gives back the necessary response to the calling
program. For example if the DESTYPE is "cache", then the Reports server generates
the report to a file in a temporary place and gives it back to CGI and the CGI gives
it back to the calling program. Otherwise, if the DESTYPE is "file", the Reports Server
generates the report output to the requested file and the CGI replies back the
following message : "Report output was successfully written to requested
destination.".
If there is any error in this process, the related error message is returned. The
possible sources of errors can be categorized as follows :
1) The errors that are returned from Reports Server; like the Reports Server can
not find the requested RDF file or the report may be run to file and the
directory where the reports output is asked to be placed does not occur or
similar errors. (Usually the REP-XXXX errors)
2) Another possible cause of error is the errors returned by the RDBMS to the
Reports Server, for example a table not found error or things like that. Of
course from the CGI point of view these errors are again transmitted from the
Reports Server but in fact the error originates from the RDBMS. (Usually the
ORA-XXXX errors)
3) Another possible cause of errors is the CGI itself, for example when the CGI
executable can not connect to the requested Reports Server, then we get the
famous "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server". In this document we will
diagnose the common reasons of this last error.
III. How the CGI (or the Reports Servlet) communicates with the Reports Server
===============================================================================
Having said that "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Unable to communicate with the
Reports Server." error is returned back from the CGI itself, let's discuss the
issue of how the Reports CGI connect to the Reports Server. The name of the
Reports Server given in the URL with "server=....." parameter is, in fact, just
a special tnsnames alias, similar to aliases for database connect strings. As it is
important for the CGI to resolve the alias, the CGI needs to know the HOST name (or the
IP) of the machine where the Reports Server is running and the port on which the
Reports Server is listening. So a typical Reports Server alias is defined as follows :
REP60_<MACHINE>=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = <MACHINE>)(PORT = <PORT>))
This is defined in tnsnames.ora file, and the sqlnet.ora file is also used in
the name resolving operation.
IV. Possible reasons which lead to "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error.
==========================================================================================
The possible reasons for the "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error :
1) Reports Server is up and running :
Make sure that the Reports Server is really running on the specified server
and listening on the specified port. For details have a look at above
explanations for tnsnames alias of the reports server. And because of this the
CGI could not establish a connection to the Reports Server.
2) tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora problems :
As described above, the CGI resolves the details for the reports server using
the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora" files. There may be a problem with them,
here are the possible configuration problems :
a) There is no alias in the tnsnames.ora file for this Reports Server
b) The CGI looks into the wrong directory for the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora"
files. By default the CGI checks the $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory for
these scripts, where the $ORACLE_HOME is the home of the Forms & Reports
installation. Please note that in a typical 9iAS 1.0.X installation there
are two ORACLE_HOME's, one is for the iAS and the other is for the tools,
usually the home for the tools is a directory with name "806" on NT and
"6iserver" on unix systems. By defining TNS_ADMIN in the environment, one
can override the search path for these two files.
The TNS_ADMIN variable can be defined in one of the following places :
i) In the environment : On MS Windows platforms check the "Settings
--> Control Panel --> System". On NTs check the environment TAB and in
Win2K systems check the "Environment Variables" button on Advanced tab.
ii) In "6iserver.conf" file. Details are as follows : The main configuration
file for Apache server is "httpd.conf" file which resides in
$IAS_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory. In this file there is a line to
include "oracle_apache.conf" and in this "oracle_apache.conf" file
there is a line to include "$ORACLE_HOME/conf/6iserver.conf" file. And
in this file the TNS_ADMIN variable could be defined as follows :
SetEnvIf Request_URI "rwcgi60" TNS_ADMIN=c:\orant\network\ADMIN
Please note that by defining it this way, the TNS_ADMIN will only be defined
for "rwcgi60" calls, so the other parts of the 9iAS will not be affected by
this setting.
c) In sqlnet.ora the "names.default_domain" is set but in tnsnames.ora the
domain is not defined in the alias description. For example if the
"names.default_domain=world" is present and active in "sqlnet.ora" file
then in the "tnsnames.ora" the alias of the reports server should also have
the ".world" extension appended at the end. And another cause is of course
the vice versa for this. If there is no "names.default_domain" is defined
in the "sqlnet.ora" then the alias in "tnsnames.ora" should not have the
domain extension.
Another important point that should be checked is, if TNS_ADMIN is defined
as described above then the search path is as follows, first the directory
defined by TNS_ADMIN is searched, if the "tnsnames.ora" file is not found in
this directory then $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin is checked. (And on unix systems
/var/opt/oracle is also checked). These directories are only checked if the file
is not present, so if the "tnsnames.ora" file is present in TNS_ADMIN directory
but the alias is not present, then the other directories are not checked at all.
Let us assume that the tnsnames.ora file is present in the TNS_ADMIN directory but
there is no "sqlnet.ora" files here, then the sqlnet.ora file is checked in
$ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory, which could cause the same problem if the
"names.default_domain" is defined in this file.
All the above will result in, CGI to unable to resolve the alias in tnsnames.ora
file so it will not be able to establish a connection to the Reports Server.
3) Wrong "ORACLE_HOME" setting :
Wrong ORACLE_HOME setting. This is usually the case for Reports Servlet,
because the environment settings are defined in "jserv.properties" file for the
servlets and the setting here will effect both the Reports Servlet and the
setting for Oracle JSP and other servlets. So the other servlets or Oracle JSP
may need to set ORACLE_HOME to home of HTTP server while the reports server needs
it to be set to the TOOLS_HOME directory. In this case the best alternative is
not to set ORACLE_HOME in this directory and leave it to registry or defined the
ORACLE_HOME in "6iserver.conf" file just like the TNS_ADMIN defined above. For
details please have a look at the following document :
Note 179609.1 "Getting an error Unable to communicate with the Reports Server
using RWSERVLET"
4) Effect of parameter "maxconnect" :
Another common case for this error is that the CGI request reaches the Reports Server but
the Reports Server refuses connection. The main cause for this case is, that the Reports Server
configuration parameter "maxconnect" is defined too low, there are long running reports on the
server or the server is too busy at that time. Usually a second try some
later time results in a successful connection. If this is the case, the end user
may think that the problem is occasional. For details on this case please
have a look at the following document :
Note 125265.1 "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server"
5) Passing very large parameters to reports server :
Another known reason for this error is, if you are passing large parameters
to the Reports Server which exceeds sqlnet transmission blocks then the request may
end up with this error. To test it try with small parameter values. If you hit
this case, the solution is to increase the SDU (Session data unit size) and the TDU
(Transport unit data size) parameters in tnsnames.ora file, for details please
have a look at the following document :
Note 197358.1 "Passing large parameters to Reports show up a Reports Server
error"
6) A case specific to OAS 4.0.8.2 :
If you are using OAS instead of iAS, and the error appeared after
upgrading to 4.0.8.2 then this is caused because the 4.0.8.2 is using RSF
(Required Support Files) version 8.1.6 and the Reports 6i is using 8.0.6 and the
two could not reside in the same ORACLE_HOME directory. So the solution for this
problem is to create a new batch file and use it from which the actual CGI
executable is called. For details please see the following document :
Note 116754.1 "After applying OAS 4.0.8.2 CGI and Cartridge cannot communicate
to report server"
7) A case specific to WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 :
Another known case for this error is with WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 or less.
If you are using these old versions of WEBDB as HTTP listener, please have a
look at the following document :
Note 95426.1 "URL Not Found When Calling Oracle Developer Report from WebDB Site"

On Windows you can create a Report Services:
rwserver -install server=repserverYou have to choose different names for all servers, like your collegue cannot create a server with the same name. You can start/stop this Report server in Services (control panel). Configuration files can be found under $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf

Error calling Report and unable to bind Report Server

Hi,
I use Oracle Database 10g with Oracle Developer 10.1.2, in Windows 2000.
I don't have nor use Oracle Application Server though.
I tried to call a report from a Form, using Run_Report_Object.
But the following error appeared.
Error FRM-41213 Unable to connect to Report Server rep_<computer_name>
I also tried to call a report, using Web.Show_Document.
It launch another web browser, but the following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
Based on the white paper of Oracle Application Server 10g - Integrating Oracle Reports in Oracle Forms Services applications.
I create my own report server using following command
rwserver server=repsrv.
Another java-based windows showed up. It shows that the server 'repsrv' is ready.
I do the following:
1. Navigate to http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet using web browser.
It showed OracleAS Report Services - Servlet Command Help page.
But there is no other window popup (The white paper stated that a 'in process' server
should be invoked when starting a report for the first time).
2. Navigate to http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?userid=PRACTICE/PRTC@MYDB&report=C:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html&paramform=no&p_1=P1&p_1=P2
my schema is PRACTICE, password PRTC and database instance MYDB
the report path = C:\FORM\MODULE1.JSP
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
3. Finally, I tried
http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?server=REPSRV&userid=PRACTICE/PRTC@MYDB&report=C:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html&paramform=no&p_1=P1&p_1=P2
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
I don't understand.
It seems that the Report Service is not recognized although the java-based window state that the Report Server (repsrv) is ready.
My questions:
1. Does it means that my report server is not running?
Or it is running but the web browser didn't recognize it?
I use Internet Explorer 5 and Netscape 7, both of them showed the same error message.
2. The paper said there is supposed to be 2 type of server, 'In process' and custom server.
Both of them will create a configuration file in /reports/conf in DevSuiteHomeDirectory.
I can see the custom report server's configuration file which I create using rwserver
(repsrv.conf)
but I can't see the 'in process' server's configuration file (rep_<computer_name>.conf).
What am I supposed to do?
3. Is there any steps with I supposed to do after the installation?
Well, I didn't find any error during the installation, everything seems to be just fine.
Perhaps, I need to modify some files, specifya report server name,
create the 'in process' server manually.
Many thanks,
Imelda

Hi,
I have already tried your suggestion.
Since I am in Windows 2000 platform, so I do the first suggestion from the documentation.
If the host machine is not in a network (that is, it is a standalone machine).
Solution for Windows platform: Install the MS loopback adapter, as described on the Miscrosoft Web site (http:\\microsoft.support.com). Then, specify an IP address for your machine (either XP or Windows 2000), as follows:
1. On your desktop, right-click My Network Places, and choose Properties.
2. Right-click the MS loopback adapter, and choose Properties.
3. In the Properties dialog box, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties.
4. Select Use the following IP address, and enter a valid IP address. The subnet mask field will automatically populate. Do not use the local host IP (that is, 127.0.0.1). For example, enter: 198.162.1.1.
5. Click OK, and follow the instructions displayed.
There is also solution for UNIX platform.
But I do the Solution for Windows platform only.
But still I've got the following error message :
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
And in the command line of OC4J which I started, the following error appeared :
Not able to load oracle.reports.util.EnvironmentGlobal class
Using oracle.reports.util.Environment class
BTW,
I also tried to use the command lin rwrun :
rwrun report="D:\My Documents\TryReport\module1.jsp" userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname="D:\My Documents\TryReport\module1.pdf"
And somehow a PDF file appeared.
It contains the output of the report I created.
It exactly the same as the preview of the web layout which is run from Report Builder (Run Web Layout CTRL-R).
Could this mean that the In-Process server is running?
Perhaps the browser did not understand how to connect to Report Server?
Is there anything should be done?
Should I also do the Solution for UNIX platform? (Mine is Windows)
And, why for Oracle Form (running as a servlet), everything seems to be normal?
Does the Oracle Form use different server from Oracle Report?
The problem is only when I tried to call report using a button inside Oracle Form.
(Run_Report_Object and Web.Show_Document)
Any light would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Financial Reporting Web Server can't find report server.

Hi all,
I've installed Financial reporting print server, report server, and scheduler on a separate server from the Web Server installed with Workspace. I can create and run a report with FR Studio and have saved it to the Workspace server.
When I run the report on the Workspace server I get the following error:
Your Financial Reporting Web Server is unable to locate the report server server1.na.ds.monsanto.com:8299. Please contact your administrator.
(5514)
I have the same configuration on two other servers and things are working fine. How do I tell the Web Server (server1) where the report server is. Why is it looking on the server1 server?
Thanks.

Thanks for your responses.
I've run the configuration utility on the server where I have installed the report server and compared it to the report server that works. I looks like logically I have things set up correctly.
The "Configure Financial Reporting" asks me where the "Workspace Web Application" is and that is set correctly and is working because I can get into studio and connect to the report server it lets me design and run and save the report. Studio saves the report to the correct workspace server so I know FR knows about the workspace server.
I ran the config utility on the Workspace web server and selected "Configure Web Server". The second screen lists all of the components and "Financial Reporting" is one of the components. This is also set up logically identically to the server pair that is working. All of the components are set up on the web server to point at the web server.
So I still don't understand how to tell workspace to look at the report server. The report server is finding the workspaces web server just fine.
All services are up and running.
