Today our development team needed a new report server instance in middle tier, in process of doing so they came up with following observation and steps:
Assume %OMH% is Oracle Middle Tier Home
To create new report server instance:
Open command prompt:
C:\>rwserver server=%newreportserver_name% start
Shut down the opmn:
C:\>%OMH%\opmn\bin\opmnctl stopall
Add new server target to opmn.xlm
C:\>%OMH%\bin\addNewServerTarget.bat %newreportserver_name%
The DOS window will close automatically.
Open command prompt again:
Update the config with new settings
C:\>%OMH%\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat updateconfig -ct opmn -v -d
C:\>%OMH%\ dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat resyncinstance -v -d
Start the opmn
C:\>%OMH%\opmn\bin\opmnctl startall
Things to keep in mind:
Do NOT register the inprocess (aka in-process) server (ie. rep_) as it is already registered with the Enterprise Manager Console website and OPMN. Doing so will cause problems. The inprocess server is not intended to be viewed and/or stopped/started from command-line or opmnctl.
You must start or stop a Reports Server registered with Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g only through Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g/OPMN. OPMN automatically restarts Reports Server if it stops responding for some reason. On Windows, OPMN itself is run as a Windows service.
Beginning with Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2), running Reports Server as a Windows service is no longer supported (rwserver -install server_name). As a result, the related command line keywords INSTALL and UNINSTALL are also obsolete. If you start or stop a Reports Server that is managed by OPMN running as a Windows service or through the command line, you may face the following issues:
• The Reports Server’s status will not be reflected accurately in Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g.
• Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g may display errors when starting or stopping the Reports Server.

Hi, i already created the second report server (linux), but both report servers have the same components (OC4J_BI_Forms). How I change the OC4J component in the new Report Server to a new OC4J.
PS I already create the New OC4j with the forms.ear and report.ear deployments.
Thx,

Hi Debashis,
Just want to check out what you mean that application server is on Linux and Oracle Forms are in Windows 2003 Server.
By right Oracle Forms and Report Services run as a component of the Oracle Application Server.
That why I just want to check out what exactly your architecture is?
Thanks & Regards,
Raj
P.S Thanks guys for all your appreciation and comments.

Hi. I have an application server with an in-process reports server. I am running two applications on that application server. One application has some long running reports. So I created a stand alone reports server and want the long running reports to use the stand alone report server. But it is not working. Please help.
As soon as I start two different reports from the two different apps, I get the message 41213 - unable to connect to the report server and the report which takes a short time comes up but the long running report stays in the report server queue pending and never finishes.
Thanks in advance for your help.
