Running Reports in Forms/Reports 11.1.2.1 Generates REP-52262 with Default Settings

Dec 20, 2012

Using the default settings in rwservlet.properties in Oracle Forms & Reports 11.1.2.1 (released December 2012) has an issue where any generated PDF report (using getjobid) results in the following error:

REP-52262

The same error is reached if you try to access any other utility in rwservlet such as showenv, showjobs, etc. In older Oracle Forms 11g and 11gR2 releases, not having the parameter <webcommandaccess> set in rwservlet.properties is the equivalence to setting the parameter to L0 which means to block all rwservlet access.

To fix this error, you will need to apply the following:

  1. Go to %DOMAIN_HOME%\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_REPORTS\applications\reports_#\configuration and open rwservlet.properties (make a backup first).
  2. Add the following parameter below the <inprocess> parameter:
    • <webcommandaccess>L2</webcommandaccess>
  3. Save and close the file
  4. Restart WLS_REPORTS

After applying the fix above, you should be able to view generated PDF reports when running Oracle Forms & Reports 11.1.2.1, 11.1.2.2, and 12.2.1.x.
