BI Publisher showing TOPLINK-7001 error on Scheduled Reports

When you have the next error in BI Publisher Scheduled Reports:


Exception [TOPLINK-7001] oracle.toplink.exceptions.ValidationExceptionException Description: You must login to the ServerSession before acquiring ClientSessions.

You might want to check if the tablespace containing the BI Publisher schema has enough space. There is no procedure to physically remove scheduled reports once they have been run. You can manually delete records from the database (bipub schema) but don’t forget to reclaim the lob size. If you delete records containing LOB’s the size doesn’t automatically free up.

A way to do this manually by using the next command:
ALTER TABLE “table” MODIFY LOB (“column”) (SHRINK SPACE);
* command available from 10gR2

Delete history from the table ‘XMLP_SCHED_OUTPUT’ and then run the above command for all the lob columns: “XML_DATA”, “MESSAGE” ,”STATUS_DETAIL” and “DOCUMENT_DATA” .

Once you have done that, restart BI Publisher using Enterprise Manager and the error will be gone.
