Discoverer viewer in portal or Drill to detail in Disco report in Portal

Hi
Is it possible to embed discoverer viewer into Portal page. I know one way, I can achieve this in older versions by using <IFRAME src="worksheet url"></iframe> as HTML portlet. But, the problem here is that, our Discoverer viewer is SSO protected. So,I don't want user to single sign on again, as they have already have done that when they got into portal.
My second question is , I have developed Page-Detail report in Disco plus, also I have Drill to Detail in the same report. Drill to Detail is created using "Manage Link" option. When I deploy this report into Portal using Disco Portlet provider, firstly in portal it is not showing the Page Item, also the Drill through link also is not showing.
Any help on the above questions would be greatly helpful.
Thanks
Balaji

Hi
Firstly thank you very much for your response.
The Disco report I have is a Discoverer Plus report with Drill to Detail to another workbook(developed through manage link). But this Drillable link is not showing in the published Disco portlet. Are you saying that it should in the published disco portlet? .. As posted in previous response , I know this would work from Analyze link(which basically lauches viewer)..
But users would like to see this drillable link in the report in portal page itself(which means on the published portlet itself). To achieve this only, I used Iframes in Html portlet and showing the Discoverer viewer url. It works fine, but only thing is each time user naviges to portal page, it executes the report which takes some time. I am trying to avoid the execution process. I think one solution is I can just schdule these Disco reports and that way it will not query the database each time. I was wondering if there is any other solution maybe I am missing
Thanks
Balaji

Hide a Column in Discoverer Viewer 10.2.1

Hello Forum,
I'm doing a little "Show & Tell" this Friday for our end users on Discoverer Viewer.... I'm not the report writer or the end user, so I'm a great guinea pig for how easy is this tool to use and intuitive is it... here is my problem - I want to customize the format, layout whatever you want to call it of a workbook, a simple task like hiding a column seems to be missing? What's the trick, how does an end user who wants to customize their view of the workbook do a simple thing like hide a column?
thanks

Hi Mona
You need to master all of the intricacies of Viewer if you are going to demonstrate it effectively. Viewer is a very, very cool tool with lots of neat features which, in the right hands, is actually much more powerful than it at first appears. I find that the best way to demo it is to focus in on the positives and minimize or not even mention the negatives. Users can usually be blown away by having all of the positives explained before mentioning any of the negatives.
Now that I have passed on some tips for presenting Viewer, something that I do all of the time, let's address your particular question. :-)
There are two ways that I know of, and there could be more, to hide a particular column in Viewer.
The simplest is to move the column to the far right of the report and then tell Viewer to only display n-1 columns, where n = the number of columns in the report. To do this, follow this workflow:
1. Click the Layout link
2. Use the Move option to move the column(s) you don't want to display to the right of the last item that you do want to display
3. Count the number of columns that you want to display
4. Click the Rows and Columns link
5. In Columns type in the number of columns that you want to display
6. Click the Go button
This second method works for tables and crosstabs that don't use Page Items. Use this workflow:
1. Click the Layout link
2. Click the More link
3. For the column(s) you want to hide, click the Up arrow alongside each one and move it to Page Items
4. Uncheck the box called Show Page Items
5. Click the Go button
I hope this helps

Discoverer Viewer printing PDF hangs

Hi all,
I have installed Oracle BI Discoverer 10.1.2.48.18. It works fine exept that it is not closing discoverer processes. As number of processes raises the amount of free memory lowers. When about 10% free memory on the server the Discoverer Viewer stops creating PDF printouts.
I open Disco session, open sheet it displays OK. I can export to csv, xls and other formats except PDF. I also can not print PDF. If I click on Page for Print I can set PDF printing options. Then click on Preview or Print and got the Printing PDF - Wait screen. It lasts and lasts...
Tried opmnctl restartproc ias-component=Discoverer, Discoverer processes disappears, still can not print PDF.
After coplete restart AS (opmnctl stopall, startall) the function recovers.
Seems to be tied with memory usage.
I can restart the AS say 1 a week, but rather use other way to keep the Discoverer printing.
Any suggestions, please.
Jiri Rohlicek

Hi Jiri
Your CPU and memory looks ok for the Discoverer usage you have described. I'd watch BPEL though and make sure that isn't grabbing too much resource. If anything, memory would be the one to increase. As I mentioned in a previous posting, a 4:1 ratio for smaller boxes is recommended. Your ration is 2:1, although for only 5 users you should be fine.
I'm assuming you are using Discoverer in stand-alone mode? If not, and you have the infrastructure database on the same machine you are definitely underpowered.
Regarding the memory, the server is supposed to clear the sessions eventually. One way that you can definitely help is to tell your users NOT to close the browser or click the little X at the top right-hand corner of the screen. This may well close the session on the client end but the server is still holding the session for them.
Here is what I always do:
1. When changing from workbook to workbook I always click File | Close to get rid of the current workbook completely
2. When exiting Discoverer I always use File | Exit, after using File | Close.
I seem to get far fewer issues this way. It's therefore a training issue and is something that you can do right now. Hopefully this issue will be cleared in the future.
Best wishes

Problem while opening the BI reports in Portal Favourites

Hi All,
While trying to add a BI report in Portal Favourites, I am able to add the reports in portal favourites but when I click the reports(inside Portal Favourites) to open it , it will not open the reports but opens the very first page of the portal which we get after login to portal.
Please tell me how can I open the respective reports which I added in portal favourites.
Thanks,
Sourabh

Doesnt seem to appear as a portal issue neither it is a reader issue. Might be some issues with the network which isnt allowing the entire file to get downloaded and hence causing the browser to hang.

Publishing web reports in PortaL

How you will see web report to portals?How you will publish web report in portals?
Sridhar
Edited by: sridhar k on Oct 23, 2009 1:33 PM

Hi,
There should be some Portal team, or you might be having the rights to publish the webtemplates (Queries) to roles.
After this, there will be a role upload logging in to the portal in which you access web reports.
Once after your role upload process is successful, your reports will be successfully published to Portal and you could be able to run the reports from portal.
There should be some book mark (link) to the portal, which needs your username, pwd to login. If there is a portal team, which maintains the Portal, Please get in touch with them to get the Link of the Portal, and request them to assign you roles, so that you can publish the desired reports to role, Normally done from WAD, Opening the report to publish. There after do the role upload, by logging in to the desired portal with your Username and Password.
Thanks,

How to Intergrate Report to Portal as a Portlet ?

Hi,
I have followed the document "Oracle Reports 9iAS Rel 2 (on Unix) : Integrating With Oracle Portal As a Portlet" to run our Reports in Portal. As my Portal is installed in a separated server from our database server, where the reports will query on, how can I create a DB Provider connecting to the database ? In the "Step 1: Set up a page to contain two Reports portlets", I cannot see the schema which I want to connect to run the reports ? Only schemas that locates in the same database with Portal's Repository can be seen in this page.
Please advice,
Pham

hello,
i think you are talking about two separate things here. if you want to create Oracle Reports, all you need to have is a TNS alias on the reports server machine that allows you to connect to the db. since you are talking about schemas in the portal i have the feeling that you are actually creating portal reports. in this case you will have to create a db link and associated synonyms in the database where the portal repository is installed.
but keep in mind those are two different things.
thanks,
ph.

Drill to Detail - Discoverer Viewer

I created a worksheet using discoverer plus with drill to detail option. It works fine in discoverer plus. But i don't know how to use this in discoverer viewer. Anyone knows how 'Drill to Detail' option can be used in Viewer?
I am using discoverer 10g (10.1.2)
Thanks

While regular drills and drill to URL links and worksheet links are all available in Viewer, drill-to-detail is not yet available in Viewer.
Thanks

URGENT!! Drill Down Error with Character Set non-ascii on Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
We have an error in a Drill down. It comes up when the Discoverer Viewer tries to process data that contains special character (non-ascii) in a query's filter. The same report that does not perform well with special characters, does perform well if the data dont contains special characters, so it seems to be an issue processing non-ascii chars in this Discoverer Viewer instance.
Ex. FIELD_NAME = 'Ã¶ÜÃ¦Ã¤é (This filter is contained in a query that this getting an error msg="We're sorry, the server encountered an unexpected condition" ).
It might be possible that there are some problems with the Discoverer charset ?
We will appreciate any suggestion about this respect.

HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error from Discoverer Viewer to Portal

HI,
I created a tab with a list of workbooks created with Discoverer Viewer and published with Discoverer Portliest Provider (List of Database Workbooks). Another tab contains four Discoverer Worksheets created with the same account. Everything works well but if i click on a report in list and open Discoverer Viewer, when i return to portal and go to tab containing worksheets i see message "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error" and i'm not able to do anything. I only can close my browser and i must reconnect to portal!
Can you help me?
My portal version is cg (9.0.4), i'm using Windows 2000 ESP and Internet Explorer 6.
I tried with Olin and Mazola but result did not change.
I used a public connection bud i tried a private connection too. Nothing happened.

The application.log file, under the OC4J which running your Discoverer provider, should give you some hints about the problem you're facing.

Discoverer Viewer - Drill down option

Dear all
I created a report in discoverer desktop, with drill down option for financial information.It works fine in Disco Desktop. All the drill down options are working fine as well. But the same report when run in disco viewer, it has got an option for drilling down further, then another option for collapse(with the blue button) - to view the summary value.
When the collapse option is chosen, the blue color button disappears in Viewer and wouldnt know how to drill down back without reloging into the application.
Could you please help me how to solve this problem, as I need to share this report with users who has viewer access only?We are using 9i at the moment.
Thanks.

Hi Russ
I have heard folks having awful issues with IE 7. It seems to mess up everything Oracle. Sounds like Oracle and Microsoft have some hurdles to cross. For now I would advise everyone to either stay on IE 6 or use another browswer like Firefox.
To answer the specific question posted here, it is possible that the user has hit one of the well known Discoverer bugs wherein Discoverer Viewer cannot properly execute workbooks created in Desktop. There are fixes and one-off patches available for this in MetaLink but these patches all require a password to download them. I would advise the raising of a service request and in the request spefically ask if there is a one-off patch that will fix this.
Best wishes for now

Viewing the discoverer reports through portal

What configuration is required for doing this ? i mean to enable
the discoverer view what steps are required and what url is
given .
Any suggestion will be of great help.
Neeti

Hi All,
We are also having similiar type of error in our portal.
com.sap.engine.services.prtbridge##com.sap.engine.services.prtbridge
#######SAPEngine_System_Thread[impl:5]_13##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server#Plain###
The cluster server element 125898350 is not added in the EP cluster context,
because prtbridge on 125898350 is stopped or not yet started
(maybe the server is starting or shuting down).
We have implemented the FPN using RRA.
This error comes only for few users when they navigate in Portal. After clearing the cache, it works for all. Kindly help us to resolve this issue.

Discoverer viewer drill up -down error

hai,
While i am doing drill up and drill down in discoverer viewer..i am getting error like this
DiscoNetworkException - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.TRANSIENT: minor code: 0 completed: No
null
plz tell me what should i do to solve this..

chandrakumar

Hi Chandrak,
Perhaps the reason you don't get many answers is that you often ask the same question several times, sometimes only hours apart (as if there were 10,000 of us sitting here watching the forum all day, poised to answer "chat-style"). The questions are often very simple (in the help or the manual). Most are marked "urgent". (People begin to ignore the driver who blows his horn all the time.)
Anyway, I didn't know how to edit the title of a worksheet either, so I created one, and right-clicked the mouse on the title to see what would happen, and lo and behold, up popped a context menu with the selection "Edit Title". That took about 20 seconds.
Then I looked to the menu bar, pulled down the [Sheet] menu and there was an "Edit Title" selection there also.
Once you are into the "Edit Title" dialog box, there's a [Help] button.
