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!

Using JDO in a Servlet container/app server

Hi,
I was just wondering what Solarmetric recommends when using Kodo in a
servlet container/app server. Specifically the following:
1. Should each user session maintain a PersistenceManager or should the
PM be created per request? I am thinking it might be expensive to
maintain PMs across requests since you may have idle sessions and the
PMs may hold database resources? But since PMs aren't pooled in Kodo is
creating/closing a PM per request expensive or is it offset by Kodo's
connection pooling?
2. Is it advisable to store data to be displayed on a JSP by storing the
JDO instances themselves or serializable proxies (simple data beans) of
these objects in a user's session?
3. If you can store the JDO instances in the session, do you need to
make them transient instances using makeTransient() and call close() the
PersistenceManager?
Thanks in advance,
Khamsouk

These are all very good questions. There really is no one right answer to any
of them, so I'll just try to educate you on the issues involved and you can
make your own decision. Hopefully other people who are actually using Kodo
in a servlet/JSP environment will chime in too.
1. Should each user session maintain a PersistenceManager or should the
PM be created per request? I am thinking it might be expensive to
maintain PMs across requests since you may have idle sessions and the
PMs may hold database resources? But since PMs aren't pooled in Kodo is
creating/closing a PM per request expensive or is it offset by Kodo's
connection pooling?As long as you are outside of a datastore transaction, a PM does not maintain
any database resources. The only significant state it maintains is a soft
cache of persistent objects that have already been instantiated. If you are
using Kodo 2.3 RC1 and have no set the
com.solarmetric.kodo.DefaultFetchThreshold property to -1, then some
large collections you obtain from query results or relation traversals may be
scrollable result sets on the back-end, in which case they obviously maintain
some database resources.
2. Is it advisable to store data to be displayed on a JSP by storing the
JDO instances themselves or serializable proxies (simple data beans) of
these objects in a user's session?
3. If you can store the JDO instances in the session, do you need to
make them transient instances using makeTransient() and call close() the
PersistenceManager?I'll address these together. JDO fully supports serialization, and in fact
I think you'll find it does so in exactly the way that you want. If you choose
to store serialized persistent objects in the session, then during
serialization the objects will transparently pull in all of their persistent
state and relations, so the entire object graph is serialized. When you
deserialize, the objects will no longer be attached to their persistence
manager -- they will be transient.
Another options is to store the object IDs in the session, and re-retrieve
the persistent objects for each web request.
One design pattern that can probably net very good performance is to maintain
a global read-only persistence manager that you use to dereference these IDs.
Of course, if you ever want to change an object, you'll have to re-fetch it
in a new persistence manager, and evict it from the global manager's cache.
I hope this helps.

Web Server 6.1 / App Server 7 passthrough

Hi
I having read a couple of posts regarding passthrough functionality between Web Server and App Server - we are still having problems that we hope someone can comment on.
We are running Sun ONE Web Server 6.1 and Sun ONE Application Server 7 (update 2) on the same server with passthrough enabled from the virtual hosts on the web server to the App server.

thanks!!!

I don't think I explained very well! What I am trying to say is that when the web server receives a response from the App Server (i.e a redirection to /index.jsp) the browser then trys to refer to to this file on the Web Server - where it does'nt exist. I don't know if this is any clearer!

Email Enabled lists - where to run the SMTP server? On APP server or on Exchange Server? Or somewhere else?

Hi there,
I need to setup EMail Enabled lists in SharePoint 2010 site. Where do I need to run the SMTP server? On APP server or on Exchange Server? Or somewhere else?
Thank you so much.

The SMTP service cannot run on the Exchange server. You can run it on a SharePoint server, or a stand alone server and share out the drop directory over SMB.

How Web server identify which app server domain it should connect to

Hi All,
I have installed -
application server and created an app server domain HR84DEV.
Web server and created a web server domain peoplesoft
As you all know, to start web server we need to make sure that app server has already been started so as the database server moreover hence, I have first started database instance HR84DEV then started app server domain HR84DEV followed by web server domain peoplesoft
App server knows very well which database instance it should connect to since we mention it on app server configuraiton.
But, How web server domain peoplesoft identifys the app server domain HR84DEV to which it is connected since we nowhere mention the name of app server domain while installing PIA but just JSL/HTTP port and host name.

Connection between webserver and appserver is defined in the configuration.properties file to be found in
\webserv\peoplesoft\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war\WEB-INF\psftdocs\[site]
file contains the entry
# To enable jolt failover and load balancing, provide a list of application server
# domains in the format of; psserver=AppSrvr:JSLport,...
# For example: psserver=SERVER1:9000,SERVER2:9010,SERVER3:9020
## sd="Application Server Connect String", ld="This string embodies the failover and load balancing string for PIA to connect to Application Server domains. Consult the PeopleBooks recommendations on load balancing and failover for more information. The format is psserver=AppSrvr:JSLport where AppSrvr is your fully qualified domain name. Multiple domains should be comma separated", tip="Format: psserver=AppSrvr:JSLport where AppSrvr is your fully qualified domain name, e.g psserver=SERVER1.oracle.com:9000,SERVER2.oracle.com:9010"
psserver=[appservermachine]:[JSL port]
If the webserver cannot connect to your appserver, make sure you can ping the appserver and/or adjust your hosts file to reflect the appserver.

Dreamweaver does not ship with a web server, you have to
install one, or activate one on your system (IIS or Apache for
Widows and Apache for Mac are the common choices). When you define
a site within Dreamweaver you can specify a testing server, as well
as a remote server. If the testing server and/or remote server are
available to your system without an internet connection, then you
can certainly test pages through the web server such as through
http://localhost/
If you are creating HTML pages, then there is no need for a
server at all for creating and testing your pages, but if you are
working with PHP or ColdFusion, then you will need a web server to
work with.
If you have follow up questions, you should ask in the
Dreamweaver General forum (general Dreamweaver usage questions), or
the Application Development forum (questions about dynamically
generated pages), depending on what you're looking to do:

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
[email protected]

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...

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.

Kodo-ds.xml: how to use for two database in same app server?

hi,
i meet a problem: i have two applications in the same app server(one app
use one database.). BUT, only one kodo-ds.xml can configure the
PersistenceManagerFactory with jndi name. When i figure the two jidi name
for two "<tx-connection-factoy>" in the root element
"<connection-factories>" in the kodo.ds.xml. That's unavailable!
eg:
<connection-factories>
<tx-connection-factoy>

</tx-connection-factoy>
<tx-connection-factoy>

</tx-connection-factoy>
</connection-factories>
THAT'S MY CONFIGURATION. UNAVALIABLE NOW.... Who can help me solve this
problem?
thx!

You should deploy multiple kodo-ds.xml files (i.e. kodo-ds-oracle.xml).

Logging in App Server 7 and App Server 8

Hi,
We have an application (servlets/MDBs/EJBs) running in the Sun Application Server 7 that we want to run on the Sun Application Server 8 (J2EE 1.4.2).
The application has logging facilities with various objects having their own java.util.logging.Logger...
java.util.logging.Logger m_logger = java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger( "ServletLogger" ) ;
m_logger.fine( "How do I get this in the App Server log file?" );
To enable the above logging in App Server 7, I would simply set the global App Server logging level to "FINE" using the admin console. How can I do the same with the App Server 8?
I've tried using the admin console to set the App Server logging levels to "FINE", but they seem to only effect the App Server itself and not the code it is running. I've also tried adding the following properties in the "Logging Levels" page of the admin console...
ServletLogger FINE
ServletLogger.level FINE
.level FINE
but they don't seem to make any difference? Any help will be most appreciated!
Cheers,
Paul

Goto the admin console (port 4848 for default domain).
Click on Topmost Leftmost link -- "Application Server."
choose the "Logging" Tab.
Choose the "Log Levels" tab.
add a new property
com.company.app.applogger FINER and in your code, :-
Logger applogger = Logger.getLogger("com.company.app.applogger "); Now if only I knew how to keep a separate log file for this.

WebUtil - File Transfer to File Server instead of App Server of DB

Is it possible to upload a file to server other than the db server or app server?
Thanks.

Hello,
I don't think so. Notice that Webutil allows transfering files only on the App Server machine. With the DB Server, you can only transfert file to/from the database, not the file system.

Web server connecting to App Server

I want to config Tomcat as Webserver connecting to Sun Enterprise 7 App Server (i.e. access EJB component). How should I configTomcat and Sun Enterprise 7 App Server ?

You should not configure anything special. Just lookup you'r EJBs as you do from any standalone client.

Issue configuring DAD on HTTP Server within 10g App Server

This time with a sensible subject...
I am trying to configure the HTTP Server within 10g Application Server with a DAD pointing to an instance hosted on the same server. However whenever I apply the DAD settings and re-start the server I am told the DAD is down. I have tried many permutations of the connection string all without success. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem and can suggest a resolution. I am carrying out the same steps as I would for a 9i HTTP Server and can only think it is a difference for 10g App Server.

Reviewing the mod_plsql services page, it says 'Module Loaded No'. I have reviewed the httpd.conf and oracle_apache_conf files and both suggest that mod_plsql should be started but this is obviously not the case.

Precal Server installation on App server

Hi All,
Is it advisable to install precal server on the application server ? Also, we are planning to install it on the JAVA server ? Will there be any issues going forward ? Any inputs from your side will be appreciated.

Do not install anything else on your precalc server and especially do NOT install it on your BI server if you run on a Windows platform.
If you don't need Excel workbooks then you can use precalculation without Pre-calculation servesr, using BI Java to send out PD, XML (Excel style) or HTML documents of queries or web templates.
Mostly a basis call . Try to obtain help from them

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
