REP-51002 Bind to Reports Server rep_server_name failed

Oct 10, 2012

If you are running reports and are receiving FRM-41213 errors (Unable to connect to report server), there could be a possibility that your firewall could be blocking a port which the report server uses.

  1. Create a rule to allow port 14021 in your firewall.
    • Run rwdiag.bat -findAll (Gives you port 14021 and the channel address)
    • Open port 14021
  2. In the firewall, allow requests from your host IP address to the channel address found above.
