Reports Server Not Showing Up

User_SBEOO

Our reports server does not show when we run the rwdiag -findAll command and the Applications folder does not exist in the WLS_REPORTS folder (Domain Home\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_REPORTS) on one of our servers.

Windows Server 2016.  Oracle Forms and Reports 12.2.1.

A few months ago We installed Oracle Forms 12c  on 2 different servers on 2 different networks and the forms all work fine.  We did not install/configure Oracle Reports at that time because we were going to use a third party application.  We have changed our minds.  We installed and configured a reports server on one of our servers on one of our networks and it works fine.  We now need to install Reports on a different server on a different network (these networks are not connected to the internet or each other).  These are the steps we have went through. 

1.  I stopped the Forms Server, the AdminServer, and the node manager in that order.

2.  I went through the configuration wizard again (oracle_home\oracle_common\common\bin\config.cmd)

     A.  I selected Update an existing domain and the domain location had my Forms domain already filled in.

     B.  On the templates screen, this time I added "Oracle Reports Application", "Oracle Reports Tools", and "Oracle Reports Server".

     C.  On the database configuration screen I clicked the Get RCU Configuration button and it all went fine.  All the JDBC Test went fine.

     D.  On the advanced configuration screen I selected all the options to go through all the options.

     E.  On the managed servers screen I added WLS_Reports.  Set the port to 9002.  For server groups I selected Reports-Apps-Servers.

     F.  I created a new cluster simply named cluster_reports.

     G.  The next setting I changed was I added the WLS_Reports server to the cluster_reports cluster.

     H.  On the Assign Servers to Machines screen, I added WLS_Reports to the AdminServerMachine.

     I.  All the other screens, I left as the defaults.  I clicked the "Update" button and everything went fine.

3.  I restarted the node manager, AdminServer, and Forms Server in that order.  I then started WLS_REPORTS in the weblogic console and it says it is running.

Our new report server is not showing when we run the rwdiag -findAll command.  We cannot get to https://servername:port/reports/rwservlet.  (Again, the Applications folder does not exist, so there is no rwservlet.properties file so we cannot update that file to add the webcommandaccess L2 option.)

I have tried to compare everything I can think of between these 2 servers and do not see anything different.  These servers are on closed networks and I cannot provide any logs or screenshots.  We cannot copy files between the 2 servers using external media either.

Can any of you think of something we did on the working server that we might have missed on the second server?

Follow the steps described here https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12213/formsandreports/install-fnr/installing-and-configuring-oracle-forms-and-reports…

You missed to configure some parts of oracle reports.
