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">
