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.

To fix this error, you will need to apply the following:

1. Go to %DOMAIN_HOME%\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_REPORTS\applications\reports_11.#\configuration and open rwservlet.properties (make a backup first).
2. Add the following parameter below the <inprocess> parameter:
   • <!–webcommandaccess>L1</webcommandaccess–>
   • Then change the value from L1 to L2 
   • <webcommandaccess>L2</webcommandaccess>
3. Save and close the file
4. Restart WLS_REPORTS

Hope this works.
