All start and stop operations on Oracle Reports components can be performed using Oracle Enterprise Manager. Refer to Section 7.4, Starting, Stopping, and Restarting Oracle Reports Components .

6.6 Starting and Stopping the In-process Reports Server Using Oracle Reports Servlet

If you are using Reports Server as an in-process Reports Server the default configuration, sending a run report request starts the in-process Reports Server. However, if you are sending a request through a command line, Oracle Reports Servlet rwservlet must be started first using either the run report URL or the Web command URL. When you have successfully started rwservlet, you have successfully started the in-process Reports Server. You can also start an In-process Reports server through Enterprise Manager: 1. Navigate to the Reports application page in Oracle Enterprise Manager 6-10 Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services

2. From the Reports menu, select Monitoring Start Reports Application.

The Reports application is started.

3. From the Reports menu, select Administration Start In-process Reports Server.

The In-process Reports server is started. To directly start or stop the in-process Reports Server using a URL, enter the following in your Web browser: http:machine_name:portreportsrwservletstartserver http:machine_name:portreportsrwservletstopserver

6.7 Verifying that the Oracle HTTP Server Is Running

OracleAS Reports Services depends upon the Oracle HTTP Server component. Before starting Reports Server through Oracle Enterprise Manager or OPMN, you must verify that your Oracle HTTP Server is running. For more information about performing this task in Oracle Enterprise Manager, refer to your Oracle Enterprise Manager documentation. Alternatively, you can verify that the Oracle HTTP Server is running, in your browser, by navigating to the following URL: http:server_name.domain:port_number

6.8 Verifying that the Reports Servlet and Server are Running

To verify that the Reports Servlet is running, navigate to the following URL: http:your_machine_name.domain_name:your_port_numberreportsrwservlethelp Note that the URL is case sensitive. If this URL executes successfully, you should get a help page describing the rwservlet command line arguments. To verify that Reports Server is running, navigate to the following URL: http:your_machine_name.domain_name:your_port_ numberreportsrwservletgetserverinfo?server=server_name The server=server_name argument is not required if you are using the default Reports Server name rep_machine_name or the Reports Server specified in the servlet configuration file, rwservlet.properties DOMAIN_ HOMEconfigfmwconfigserversWLS_SERVER_ NAMEapplicationsreports_versionconfiguration. If this URL executes successfully, you should see a listing of the job queue for the specified Reports Server. Note: Youll find more information about the servlet configuration file in Section 8.3, Oracle Reports Servlet Configuration File .
