ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or

Marcyd-OracleJun 28 2018 — edited Jul 3 2018

I installed and configured BI Publisher 12.2.1.4 and Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.3 (Weblogic Server) on my OEL 7 x86 server. The installation seemed to have gone smoothly.  I went as far as configuring the domain in the BI Publisher installation instructions (https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/bi12214/lcm/BIEIG/toc.htm ) but I did not 'Perform the Additional Domain Configuration Tasks' such as 'Adding a Web Tier front end to my domain'.  Please let me know if that is required.

The output from the configuration shows that the BI Publisher printserver URL is this:

BI Publisher

            http://fred.us.oracle.com:9502/xmlpserver

I modified my APEX 5.1.4 instance, report printing options on the same host so that the print server port is 9502 and I left all of the other options as the defaults:

Print Server: Oracle BI Publisher

Print Server Protocol: HTTP

Print Server Host Address:

Print Server Port: 9502

Print Server Script:

Print Timeout: 300

When I download an Interactive Report as PDF using the IR Actions -> Download -> PDF buttons,  I cannot open the report with Preview so I opened it with MS Word and in the file it says:

ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.

 

I tried navigating to http://fred:9502/xmplserver via my firefox browser and I get to a bi-security-login screen but I do not know what the username and password are that I should be logging in with or if that will help at all.

I've looked at all of the past posts for this issue, mostly all of which are older than 3 years, and I have not found a suitable solution.  I would greatly appreciate any help with this if anyone has any ideas.

Just in case this is helpful, my xmlp-server-config.xml file looks like this:

<xmlpConfig xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xmlp">

   <property name="SAW_SERVER" value="fred"/>

   <property name="SAW_SESSION_TIMEOUT" value="90"/>

   <property name="DEBUG_LEVEL" value="exception"/>

   <property name="BVCACHE_DEFAULT_BIEE_USERNAME" value=""/>

   <property name="BI_SEARCH_GROUP_NAME" value="bisearch_ws"/>

   <property name="BI_SEARCH_TIMEOUT" value="6000"/>

</xmlpConfig>

Thanks,

Marcy
