Introduction:
This post is related to describe the Report server issue with Oracle 9i AS R2. For this release of Application Server, the X Server is mandatory to run the report server. If there is any issue with the X Server then the Report Server will not work and users would be waiting to print their reprots.
Troubleshooting and Resolution:
We faced interesting issue with our reprot server for Oracle 9i AS R2. And following is procedure by which we successfully resolved the report server issues.
--> Report Server was not coming up, and the error message was following.
Error
REP-50001: Server is initializing
We waited a lot, but it was showing "REP-50001: Server is initializing", the command to run the report server was not throwing the following error after some time:
REP-56097: Engine rwEng-0 callback timeout
We used following command to run the report server:
./rwserver.sh server=rep_testserver4
and it was throwing error REP-56097, even we created different report server with different names, but the behavior was same, it was always throwing REP-50001, REP-56097.
Also we gathered the traces, but no clue was there, also X Server was working fine, in our case we were using vnc X Server. We raised a SR with Oracle Support, and they did many testings with the report server, but nothing worked.
And suddenly what we did we tried to check the X Server from vnc viewer and the report server windows was displayed as soon as we got the X Server console, and when we executed the reports it was all working. So the clue was we had to open the vnc X server console once to get the reports windows, and every thing was working fine. And later we closesd that vnc X Server window, and even then the reports were working all fine.
In Oracle 10g AS R2, there is no requirement for X Server for reports server. We would be migrating our Oracle 9i AS R2 to Oracle 10g AS R2 soon.
