REP-0178: Reports Server cannot establish connection.

While trying to run Oracle Report services from from the command line I received the following error.

 

REP-0178: Reports Server cannot establish connection.


I tried executing the "rwclient" like this:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rwclient server=rep_wls_reports_serverName_asinst_1
 \ report=$MW_HOME/rdf/test.rdf  
\ userid=userid/password@orcl.world 
\ desformat=pdf 
\ destype=file desname=$MW_HOME/test/test.pdf


I ran oracle process manager and notification (opmn) to see the status of my installed processes

$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmn status -l


Using "rwclient" from $ORACLE_INSTANCE and changing the server to the name shown in opmn status command fixed my issue.
