Oracle Reports 11.1.1 Reports Configuration Error
Posted by Dirk Nachbar on Saturday, February 19, 2011 with 23 comments
The error message just state that while executing the command "opmnctl startproc ias-component=ReportsServer_<servername>_<instance>" an error occurs. If you check the corresponding Install Logfile, you will not find something really usefull. Only stuff like "failed to start a manage process after the maximum retry limit".
Only a look in the Reports Logfile will give you a hint whats the problem :-) The Reports Logfile you can find under $MW_HOME/<instance>/diagnostics/logs/ReportsServerComponent/ReportsServer_<servername>_<instance>/rwserver_diagnostic.log
This error message points to a problem with the network, as Oracle Reports is using a multicast mechanism to publish his Reports Servicename into the network.
Just set your default gateway and retry after the changes the configuration step which has been failed.

what do you means default gateway? where can i found that setting?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeletejust login to your Oracle Enterprise Linux as root and execute:
/sbin/route add default gw <gateway> <interface>
e.g.:
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.33.1 eth0
After that adjust your /etc/sysconfig/network configuration file and add your Gateway:
GATEWAY=<gateway>
e.g.:
GATEWAY=192.168.33.1
Finally restart your network device:
/etc/init.d/network restart
But you can perform the same in the graphical network configuration tool.
Cheers
Dirk
thanks for your fast response.. i am not using linux but using windows xp. so where i set default gateway?
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, as I am not a pure Windows-Fan, here just a link to the official Microsoft Documentation for how to set a Default Gateway in Windows XP:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ras_config_incoming_tcpip_defaultgw.mspx?mfr=true
In addition you should check if you maybe have a running Firewall under your Windows, this can also cause problems with starting Oracle Reports Services.
Cheers

Great post!!
ReplyDeleteI was having the exact same error; firewall was causing the problem.
OEL 5.7
Sun jdk1.6.0_30
WebLOGIC 10.3.5
Forms & Reports 11.1.2
Thanks, Will

On linux, another possible cause could be iptables firewall. Test this by stopping firewall
ReplyDeletesudo service iptables stop
Nice. Would like to add some info.
ReplyDeleteU will face this problem if you didn`t set java insystem path.
So before you run in confiuration install jre and set it in your system environment then complete your installation and configuration.
Tnx

The MSVCP71.dll is missing from "c:\windows\system32" directory.
Addition for solution follow my case:
1. In "C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\oui\lib\win32\", copy "msvcp71.dll,msvcr71.dll" to "c:\windows\system32"
2. Hit "Retry" in the installer.
Thank you Dirk.

The source of my problem is an OAS10 running on the same server, the issue is I nedd then running both, so wath I did was to edit the rwnetwork.conf from the Forms11g instalation like this
ReplyDeletebash-3.2# vi rwnetwork.conf
"rwnetwork.conf" 9 lines, 476 characters
Then retry and it waorked.
copy "msvcp71.dll,msvcr71.dll" to
ReplyDelete"c:\windows\system32" is the solution for my case. thanks
the solution in my case is :
ReplyDeletecopy "msvcp71.dll,msvcr71.dll" from C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\oui\lib\win32 to
"c:\windows\system32"
thanks for saving my day
"Normally this problem is related to a missing or wrong "Default Gateway" on the server."
ReplyDeleteThe default gateway is correct on my Linux server.
In my case my Linux server had the multicast blocked by the firewall.
Once I opened the firewall to multicast it worked.
Thanks you Dirk. You saved my day. I was configuring reports server on virtual box while i hit this error due to selinux enabled. For anyone with this error, here is what i did and hit retry.
ReplyDelete# service iptables save
# service iptables stop
# chkconfig iptables off
Hi Dirk I am facing REP-50002 error during configuration. I tried setting gateway but didn't work. I am using vm with windows 2008 r2 running. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDelete@DASHIUS: Could you find the root cause for REP-50002
The thingy with the gateway did the trick for me!!!
ReplyDeleteI Love U! Been busy for more than a week installing 11g forms reports on cent OS.. after different kind of error (which has been resolved) finally a succesful installation..
