Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.48.18 to Report Builder

Hi,
I'm new to using oracle tools but have a background in SSRS. I need some help getting discover queries/data into report builder
I've been asked to develop some reports based on oracle discoverer and while I have the queries running I want to bring them all together using report builder to save running them individually each morning. From googling it seems the easiest way is to export the discover results as XML and then open it in report builder. However, when I try to export from discoverer xml is not an option. Has anyone seen this before or have an advice on how to get the option enabled.
Both discoverer and reports builder are installed on my PC
Many thanks
Garret

  • Discoverer Desktop 10g : Issue with Chinese Characters

    Hi ,
    Discoverer Desktop 10g client is having issue in displaying Chinese data. My report has chinese characters in it and the same does not get displayed properly when run from Discoverer desktop. However, when I export the report in html format and opened it in browser, it is displaying the chinese characters properly. Browser was set to Unicode(UTF-8) character set.
    I tried changing to different fonts in Discoverer Desktop, but couldn't get the chinese character issue resolved in Desktop.
    Could someone , please tell me how to fix this issue ?
    Please mail directly to [email protected]
    Thanks
    Venkatesh

    I am facing the same issue too. I think it is a problem with the fonts. Get back to you later if I find any solutions.

  • Discoverer Desktop and Administrator: which is the next step?

    Hello everybody, i would like to ask you some help about understanding the following issue:
    I noticed that Discoverer Desktop and administrator are being treated like obsolete.
    Do they have a direct successor? I mean, is there any new product that has more or less the same functionality and the same philosophy?
    I'm looking at the Business intelligence suite but it seems to be a bit much wide for my scope.
    Thank you all in advance.

    So, in a way you are saying that discoverer is still better than any other oracle products including discoverer plus. I mean, discoverer adm and desktop are useful for me since
    they are standalone application and the understructure is quite light ( for example you don't need any application server behind like plus does but just an EUL).
    And i'm agree with your parallel matching with sqlplus situation. I still prefer doing something with sqlplus since is more reliable and quick than sqldeveloper. But i cannot say that
    discoverer desktop is the most reliable tool for reporting. In 6 months i used i found out many bugs and many strange behaviors that made me a bit crazy about this tool. I also tried discoverer plus but i found it extremely slow and unreliable. The level of productivity is something ugly, not just slow. So far indeed desktop seems to be the fastest and most reliable solution for a "quick" reporting development.
    I would like to ask you another question: has the new hyperion platform some reporting tool like discoverer?
    I mean if discoverer is the reporting tool for Relational OLAP what about the reporting for Multidimensional OLAP?
    Thanks again.
    Best regards

  • Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

    As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
    Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
    Regards,
    Brajesh

    Pretty hard to answer a question like this.  Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out. 

  • Checkbox in discoverer desktop edition

    Hi,
    The query we are executing created for cross tab report have plenty of views and is returning null data which needs apps intialization which cannot be done from discoverer.
    I think loging into Discoverer desktop edition with oracle applications user would resolve the same.
    I have checked the checkbox in desktop edition and logged in as operations/welcome. but it is showing as invalid user name /password.
    please help in setup that must required to check and login to oracle applications user. Also Provide if there is any alternative.
    I would be very much thankful if you could help me on this.
    Best Regards,
    Katty.

    Hi,
    The apps initialization can be done by Discoverer provided that you are connecting to an Apps mode EUL with an applications username and password.
    You must specify that you want an Apps mode EUL when the EUL is created. Then when you connect to Disco Admin as the owner of the EUL you will be able to grant access privs and security to the Application users and responsbilities.
    If you have an apps mode EUL and still get an invalid username/password then this could be because the application is running in secure mode. Then you need to copy the .dbc file to a local directory. Search this forum for details on how to do this.

  • Discoverer Desktop crash

    When trying to open a report created by a colleague, Discoverer immediately throws a Windows (Vista 32Bit) error that "Oracle Discoverer Desktop has stopped working". I click close program, and Discoverer closes. It's a very simple report so I recreated it yesterday, ran it fine, could change parameters for different outputs, no problems. This morning I log in and when trying to open the newly created report from yesterday, same error. No exception, no memory pointers, nothing, just the Win error that it has stopped working.
    Anyone seen this before? Running Discoverer Desktop v 10.1.2.3 Client v 10.1.2.55.26.

    My colleague was able to open and modify the report that I created without issue so I suspect the report is alright, perhaps my installation? Odd that I can run many other reports just fine in the same environment and that this one ran fine from development, but as soon as I closed it to reopen, no luck.

    Hi,
    I have the same issue with Discoverer Plus 10g Rel 1 (10.2.0.2 )
    Desktop and Administrator are working good. So, I cannot resolve it by re-installation.
    Also, this is not reproducible. Sometimes it works very smoothly, but sometimes it gives error for the same report.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks!

  • Discoverer Desktop Graphing Questions

    I have several questions about the graphing tool in Discoverer Desktop:
    1. I'm bringing in a customer id field which I convert with a to_char in the query from a numeric field. Most of them are 5-digit, but some are 4. I notice in the x-axis the customer id's appear only for the 5 digit id's, and for the 4-digit ones the identifier appears. i.e. if the 5th record has an id of 1508, instead of displaying 1508 it displays 5. Does anyone know how to correct this?
    2. In the y-axis values, is it possible to display more than 5 decimal places? (We're dealing with very small percentages). When I try to enter 6 or higher as the decimal value in Options, it says invalid number.
    3. When I open an existing workbook, it readjusts the y-axis scale to a max of 1, when I've set it to .0001. How I can I make this retain my scale values?
    4. Is it possible to display the y-values in the graph area itself next to the plot points?
    Thanks for any help!!!!

    Hi paul,
    Its a good idea to upgrade from 4i to 10g 4i is no more used by many and their are some issues or bugs with it.The latest version is 11g which has been released 1 week back.If not go with 10g version available.
    1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?Yes they have to stored in the database so any ened user can access them from plus or viewer.
    Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.Yes,if the reports are registered as different reports and if the end user has access to both the reports thn he can open and compare it OR if both reports are in same workbook as different sheets than its easy to view or compare.
    NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.It should show blank,might be some problem.In discoverer 10g i think you will not find this issues.
    Hope this helps you.
    Best Wishes,
    kranthi.

  • Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2 error while opening the report.

    Hi ,
    Do you know why I would be able to open a report from a Discoverer Plus responsibility in Oracle Financials but not from Discoverer Desktop?
    The report was owned by User1 and shared with both Admin1 and AdminUser1. I have tried accessing the report with both user names, and in both cases, I get the error shown below when I am logged into Desktop but I do not get the error when I log in through the application.

  • Discoverer Desktop Report issue

    Hi,
    One of my user is facing a format issue while running the report in Oracle Discoverer 10g. The report produces the following out put.
    count(Col A)     Col B     Col C     Col D
    12          A     200709     12-Sep-07
    11          A     200709     21-Sep-07
    24          B     200709     11-Sep-07
    32          B     200709     13-Sep-07
    10          B     200710     15-Oct-07
    Col A is of number data type, Col B character, Col C is number and Col D is date
    if Col D is removed from the report, the user is getting the result in following format
    count(Col A)     Col B     Col C
    23          A     401418
    56          B     401418
    10          B     200710
    i.e. col C displays the sum of the value based in Col B instead of displaying it as 200709.
    but when I ran the report from my end I'm getting the result in a proper manner.
    count(Col A)     Col B     Col C
    23          A     200709
    56          B     200709
    10          B     200710
    Please help me in sorting out this issue.
    Environment Details:
    Oracle Discoverer Admin 10g(9.0.4)
    Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10g (9.0.4)
    End User Layer 5.0.2
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    SS

    @Himanshu3jul:
    I'm not using any Oracle Application secure views. Also, the data that are being displayed is proper if Col D is not removed. If user removes Col D, the result is getting aggregated based on Col B but for me it is showing in a perfect manner.
    @puppethead:
    I'm afraid I may not be able to the check the registry on user machine since user is sitting at a different location.
    @Rod West:
    The default Aggregate property for Col C is set to <none> and it is grayed out. I'm not able to change it too. Also, if it is a bug then I should get the result as what user receives but I'm not facing any issues in that report but only user is.
    Please let me know what can be done next to figure it out.
    Also, I have the screen shots from my machine and from user’s. if you think that it will really help then I can post it. please let me know where and how I can post it so that you can have a look at it.
    Thanks,

  • Report Layout difference in Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Viewer

    Hi,
    A report was developed in Discoverer Desktop. It is having some 10 columns as data points. The summarized columns for those 10 columns are required. But only 3 columns should be displayed in Detailed Data Points. So we shrinked(brought together) all the unwanted columns keeping 3 datapoints displayed. Now it is working fine in the discovere Desktop. But when we open the same report in the Discoverer Viewer, all the 10 columns are displayed in the Detailed Data Points as well.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Rakesh

    hi Michael,
    good morning..hope u had a good sleep.
    as per your last thought y'day, even though i create a function for the sum of season values n select those columns into the report, those will not be shown as summarized columns on right hand side of the report. they will be shown as datapoints for every month in that selected season.
    i think the only possible solution for like this report is to hide those unwanted columns. for this we have hidden checkbox option in tools->sort while developing. but this option is available only for tabular reports.
    if u come up with any fresh solution for the fresh day...i am glad.
    Thanks,
    _Rakesh.

    Hi
    The easiest way to get a fully working TNSNAMES in a version 4 environment is to use the Net 8 Configuration utility.
    Here's a workflow:
    1. From the Start button, select Start | Oracle for Windows NT | Oracle Net8 Easy Config
    2. When it starts, check Add New Service and in the little box to the right type the name by which you want this connection to be known
    3. Click the Next button
    4. Select TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) and click the Next button
    5. Enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the server that contains the database
    6. In Port, enter the port number - it defaults to 1521
    7. Click the Next button
    8.In Database SID enter the name of the database, then click the Next button
    9.Click the Test Service button
    10. Provide a username and password for an account on the database, then click the Test button
    11. If you see: Connecting.... The test did not succeed you got the username/password combination wrong or some other part of the setup
    12. When you see: Connecting.... The connection test was successful click the Done button
    13. Click the Next button
    14. Click the Finish button
    You should now have a valid TNSNAMES connection for use by Discoverer 4
    Best wishes

  • Discoverer Desktop Connections Fails With Invalid Username/Pass in r12

    Discoverer supports two kinds of connections - database schema connections and apps connections. For Disco Admin, you login using a database schema, which, as you stated, works. For Disco User you login using an Apps user account (for which there is a no equivalent database scherma). To enable such a connection, you need to check the "oracle applications user" check box on the 10g Disco login screen. Also, under Tools --> Options, in the Connection tab, make sure that "connect to both standard and applications EULs" radio button is selected.

  • Oracle Discoverer Desktop Report output showing unicode characters

    Hi,
    Oracle Discoverer Desktop 4i version Report output showing the below unicode characters.
    kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
    We ran the same query in sql at that time the data showing correctly.
    Please let me know, is there any language settings/ NLS settings are need to set
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi
    Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
    language_territory.characterset
    Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
    So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
    AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
    Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
    a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
    b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
    c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_BIToolsHome_1
    d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
    e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
    f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
    f) Change the variable to the right setting
    g) Click the OK button to save your change
    h) Exit the registry
    Best wishes

  • USER UNABLE TO REFRESH DISCOVERER REPORT IN DISCOVERER DESKTOP 10g

    Dear All,
    HELP!!!
    A new user is unable to refresh discoverer Reports in Desktop. All priviledges have been granted to username in Disco Admin and Usre is able to log into oracle Apps.
    On the PC the user logged into someone else can log into Discoverer Desktop and run/refresh discoverer reports without any issues. Hence Ithink neither the PC nor the Discoverer installation is the problem.
    Can anyone help? What setup/profile needs to be completed in order for the user to be able to run Disco reports.
    Pls note that the following has been completed:
    1. Business Areas Assigned to user and his responsibilities.
    2. Desktop/Plus Privileges assigned.
    3. Allow administration - DISABLED - NOT TICKED
    Many thx
    DI

    Does this person just need to run reports? Or does this person also need to create reports? If the person just needs to run reports, try using Viewer for that person, rather than Desktop. This may be something that you need to log a service request with Oracle to get resolved. Pretty strange that can bring items into a new worksheet, but it won't run. Maybe there is an Oracle applications security issue (since logging in as another person does work)? You may be beating your brains out trying to find a Discoverer problem when it might be an application security problem. Though this is a wild guess on my part.
