Using reports server on other host

Hi,
I have installed AS10g (10.1.2.0.2) (Forms and Reports services) on host A and host B
=====================
= Scenario 1 (A->A) =
=====================
When running forms on host A and using reports server on host A:
I get to see my report.
=====================
= Scenario 2 (B->B) =
=====================
When running forms on host B and using reports server on host B:
I get to see my report.
=====================
= Scenario 3 (A->B) =
=====================
When running forms on host A and using reports server on host B:
FRM-41213: Unable to connect to the reports <xxx>
What can I do so I can use my reports server on host B and running my forms on host A?
(PS: I got this working on 9.0.4)
Thanks,
Bart

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!

Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs ?

Hi all,
Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT from Forms ?
I have reviewed note 72531.1 about using this feature and wonder if i can use this metadata to retrieve past jobs submitted by a user.
The idea would be to have a form module that can filter data from the rw_server_queue table, say, base on user running the form, and be able to retrieve past jobs from Report Server Queue. For this, one would query this table and use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
Is this possible ...?
Regards, Luis ...!

Based on that metalink note and the code in the script rw_server.sql, I am pretty sure that by querying the table you would be able accomplish what you want... I have not tested it myself... but it looks that it will work... you have the jobid available from the queue, so you can use web.show_document to retrieve the output previously generated...
ref:
-- Constants for p_status_code and status_code in rw_server_queue table (same as zrcct_jstype)
UNKNOWN CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 0; -- no such job
ENQUEUED CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 1; -- job is waiting in queue
OPENING CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 2; -- opening report
RUNNING CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 3; -- running report
FINISHED CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 4; -- job has finished

then i check the report job id. It was showing job was successful .
And i check whether the test.xml file was created or not. It has created the test.xml file as below:

Sorry to all.
I made a mistake in the from email address.
Instead of gmail.com i had given gmail,com
I am really sorry about it.

I plan to upgrade the SSRS 2005 SP2 enterprise edition in our internal web server to 2005 SP4, the Reporting server database is hosted in another sql server in sql server 2005 SP4. Do I need to do anything on the reporting server database side?

My question is what the steps do I need to take to upgrade SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4. The web server that host the SSRS is in 2005 SP2, and the OS is in window 2003.
Our SSRS report server and report server database are in different servers. The SSRS in the web server is in 2005 SP2 enterprise edition, the report server database is in sql server 2005 SP4 enterprise edition.
To upgrade the SSRS in web server from 2005 sp2 to sp4, do I need to backup/restore the encryption key? Nothing will be changed in the report server database. We will still pointing to the same database in the current server, all
I wanted to do is performing a inplace upgrade of SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SP4.
Any response will be greate appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Lihui Chen,
According to your description, you want to install the Services Pack 4 for SQL Server. Right?
In SQL Server, Services Packs are used for fixing issues of current version product. It's not an Upgrade, you don't have to backup/restore your encryption key. You just need to download the Service Pack 4 on:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 RTM . Please make sure you have administrative rights on the computer to install SQL Server 2005 SP4. For more information, see links below:
How to obtain the latest service pack for SQL Server 2005

How to popluate user defined values in Paramter field of a report using "Report Server Project", BIDS

Hello,
I am creating report using "Business Intelligence Development Studio", creating "Report Server Project" connected to TFS database.
I have created Variance report and the output of report  as below sample:
Project   Assigned To      Planned Effort        Completed    Remaining Variance
P1            X                        20
10                 5              5
P2            Y                        10
10                 0             0
P3            Z                          5
0                  5              0
By default I made Assigned To as parameter field and its showing data for selection in a drop down box (X, Y and Z) and data also filtered correctly.
Q. how can I fill resource names in a drop down of my own choice (in this scenario, I want to display only X and Y) and display data based on the selected resource? By default parameter displays all the resources which I don't want.
I did the below but could not get correct result:
1. Right Click on "Assigned To" parameter, Clicked on "Available Values" and Selected "Specify values" instead of "Get values from query"
2. Added X as Label and Value as 2 (Employee ID as mentioned in dbPerson table)
Drop down displays X but when I clicked on report, it gives an error...
Appreciate your help on this.

Hi Abdul,
From the document, we know that CONSTRAINED flag is used to reduce the risk of injection attacks via the specified string. If a string is provided that is not directly resolvable to qualified
or unqualified member names, the following error appears: "The restrictions imposed by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOSET function were violated."
So you need to make sure the members are passed properly to the STRTOSET function. For more details, please see the following links:

Start by getting DNS properly configured. If DNS isn't properly configured, most other services won't work right.

Garbage displayed while running the report in browser using report server

We are facing problem in displaying the Arabic text from the Report Server.
We have Digital Server running Tru64 4.0f unix. We have two similiar servers, both are
clustered. We have Report Server(6i) running in one machine and the Database(8.1.7) running
in the other.
When we tried the reports having only English text it is working fine. We need Arabic text
also in the report. The Arabic text are coming as ?????? . We tried setting the NLS_LANG
environment to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 and changed the Tk2Motif.rgb to take this
character set. Then we get the error REP 1352 - The font is not supported by the NLS_LANG.
Then we tried the various NLS_LANG environment AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8ISO8859P6, ARABIC_SAUDI
ARABIA.AR8MSWIN1256 and ARABIC_SAUDI ARABIA.AR8ISO8859P6, in all the cases the report is
just hanging. If We unset the NLS_LANG and the Tk2Motif.rgb the english part of the reports
are coming alright, still the arabic is coming ??????.

hello,
where does it display the ???????s. it seems that the client, you are using to display the output does not have the right font-sets installed.

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.

Printer not installed error when using reports server

Im using three NTYRE architecture when i have to run my application on 128kbps leazed line network across 30 units,requirement is to generate text output at the client side for printing some report formats in character mode.
im trying to generate a text file on server and then download to local machine for printing .but reports server gives an error printer not installed,
i have checking administrative security probs in WINNT ,
pls suggest or is there any other way to generate text reports in NTIER arch.

Hi,
You may want to check if a printer is installed in your WinNt system. Reports picks up font information from the default
printer installed in the system when we attempt to generate to file.

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 I use I-Web with other hosting service? (ie not .Mac?)

HI,
I would like to know if I HAVE to subscribe to .Mac in order to use I-web or can I use my other hosting service to build a snaps website.
It seems that one is bound to sue .Mac, but was not sure if this is the case.
Rebecca

Yes you can. You will need an FTP program. I downloaded one called Cyberduck that seems to do the job. You can drag and drop individual files or several at once to upload. You will need a host for your domain such as 1and1.com. They give you a user name and password you will need to log on to your site. Good luck!

Might it be your chouce of ports?
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143

POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Problem printing using Report server

I have sucessfully installed Developer server
version 6.0 on NT. I am trying to output my job to the network printer using Reoprt Queue Manager. Unfortunately, I am not unable to do that. The message says " JOB SUBMITTED TO THE REPSERVER", and it just hangs there. My repserver is running on NT as a service and I can get the report to diplay on my screen.
Does anybody have any idea why it's not printing to the printer?
I will really appreciate your help.

Passing value to multi value parameter from SSIS using Report server webservice

Hi
I am triggering SSRS report from SSIS(Script task). I am passing parameter values from SSIS package.
So far working fine. Now, I have a report which has 2 parameters. One is single value parameter and the other is multi value parameter.
No issue assigning value to single value parameter. But how can I pass multi value to multi value parameter?
My code as below
ReportExecutionService rs = new ReportExecutionService()
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
rs.Url = _webserviceURL;
rs.LoadReport(_reportPath, null);
ParameterValue[] paramval = new ParameterValue[2];
                        paramval[0] = new ParameterValue();
                        paramval[0].Name = "CountryCode";
                        paramval[0].Value = _countryNames;
                        **paramval[1] = new ParameterValue();
                        paramval[1].Name = "BusinessCode";
                        paramval[1].Value = _businessCode;****
                        rs.SetExecutionParameters(paramval, "en-us");
I am not sure how to pass value to BusinessCode(Multi value parameter)

Hi Rajkm,
In order to pass a multi-value parameter through the Reporting Services Web services, you need to define the same numbers of ParameterValue objects as the number of the values of the multi-value parameter being past into the report. The Name property
of these ParameterValue objects must be specified same to the parameter name.
I found a good FAQ article for this scenario:
How do I pass a multi-value parameter into a report with Reporting Services Web service API?:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlforum/archive/2010/12/21/faq-how-do-i-pass-a-multi-value-parameter-into-a-report-with-sql-server-reporting-services-ssrs-web-services-api.aspx

DNS Registration Issues when using DHCP Server in Other Domain

We have an issue where we have 2 domains with an external trust between and a set of DHCP servers that are only located in Domain A.
Clients in Domain B receive the DHCP information from Domain A which also gives them DNS settings pointing to Domain Controllers in Domain A. There are forwarders in place so resolution works.
However clients when registering their DNS information in their own domain gets refused by Domain B Domain Controllers.
Is there a way to populate a security group to allow client's in Domain B to register DNS configuration on their Domain B Domain Controllers?
I know the easiest way would be to create additional VLANs for DCs and clients and segregate clients with IP helpers to different DHCP servers per domain. But this cannot be done unfortunately.
Any help or advice appreciated on this one
