Bug of the week: REP-52262 Diagnostic output is disabled when using reports server 11g on new installation
You may have noticed that when you have a new installation of reports 11.1.2.0 when you try to run a PDF report or even if you simply try to do a showjobs request you get the error REP-52262 Diagnostic output is disabled. It seems that in a new installation for security reasons diagnostic output from the URL is disabled by default.
If get this pesky error it is actually quite easy to resolve using these easy steps:
1) Backup the rwservlet.properties file located in %DOMAIN_HOME%configfmwconfigserversWLS_REPORTSapplicationsreports_11.1.2configuration
For example:
C:OracleMiddlewareuser_projectsdomainsFRMDomainconfigfmwconfigserversWLS_REPORTS
applicationsreports_11.1.2configuration
2) Then edit the rwservlet.properties the file in notepad++
3) Search for the the lines
<!–webcommandaccess>L1</webcommandaccess–>
4) Remove them from comment so they will look like this
<webcommandaccess>L1</webcommandaccess>
5) Then change the value from L1 to L2
So it will look like this
<webcommandaccess>L2</webcommandaccess>
6) Save the file
7) Now all that’s left to do is to restart the WLS_REPORTS domain
This can be done either via:
1) The weblogic EM console
2) The stop and startup scripts in program files of the server machine
After the WLS_REPORTS is restarted you will see it working!
A shout out to PITSS for helping resolve the issue.
