REP-56105: Engine rwEng-0 died with Error

Hello Everyone,

We faced one more severity one issue after restarting Windows server, we unable to start report services on Oracle Application Server. Other services were up but report service is in INIT state for some time and then it gets crashes.

After checking all the logs and trace file , I have found below error/exception :

logged in the rwserver.trc file:

Exception 56105 (): Engine rwEng-0 died with error:

oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0

at oracle.reports.utility.Utility.newRWException(Utility.java:758)

at oracle.reports.server.EngineManager.manage(EngineManager.java:344)

at oracle.reports.server.IdleThread.run(IdleThread.java:88)

and the following errors are logged in rwEng-0.trc file:

Exception 50125 (org.omg.CORBA.DATA_CONVERSION: vmcid: SUN minor code: 202 completed: No

at com.sun.corba.se.internal.corba.ORB.string_to_object(ORB.java:2038)

at oracle.reports.engine.RWEngine.init(RWEngine.java:290)

at oracle.reports.engine.RWEngine.main(RWEngine.java:60)

): Internal error org.omg.CORBA.DATA_CONVERSION: vmcid: SUN minor code: 202 completed: No

After researching on google and Metalink, I have found cause and resolution for the same;

Cause

Reports server uses the folder mentioned in REPORTS_TMP to create temporary files while starting up.

If the directory name mentioned in the REPORTS_TMP is not valid or if it contains spaces or if it is in a mapped drive where the logged in user does not have rights or if the drive allocated does not contain enough memory space, these errors will be shown.

Solution

Steps to Resolve:

  STEP 1. Edit the Windows registry using a registry editor

      Note:  Before you edit the registry, back it up.

   STEP 2. Navigate to the following key:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOMEn

      Where n is the number of the ORACLE_HOME containing the installation

      (You can find the ORACLE key name in the file <ORACLE_HOME>\bin\oracle.key)

 STEP 3. Add a new String value named REPORTS_TMP and set the value to a valid directory without spaces and set it to a local drive.(for example: D:\reportstmp)

      Note: Its always recommended to set the REPORTS_TMP to C:\windows\temp.

You can also check following Metalink article for the same:
