How to do this in Oracle discoverer for OLAP

I have two dimensions like commodity ( having 3 levels) and organisation ( having 8 levels) and Time ( Year- Quarter-Month) . The measure is Gross spend in USD. I have calculated 4 measures on this.
When I make the report in discoverer plus I have created the reports as organisation as page Items at level 1. Commodity is another dimension which i have put in left hand of the report.I want to compare specific month calcualtion to prior or future month selection with out having drill downs,because when we drill on year, it contains 3 quarters and contains 4 months.. the report is becoming very big and the calculations are getting for each year.how to avoid this
ytd of dec 05 ytd of dec 06 % h % L Percentage

There is a Year to Date calculation template that will allow you to do this.

How to implement this in Oracle Apps 11i

Hello Friends
I am working as a consultant for a manufacturing company.
They have a format for charging Excise and Sales tax on their products (example below). I dont know how to implement this using oracle apps. Please help me ASAP.
eg.
Product A:
MRP = Rs. 100
Assessable Value (i.e. the value at which I have contract with the Government to pay Excise Duty) = 60% of MRP = Rs. 60 in this case.
Excise Duty = 16% of AV =0.16*60 = Rs. 9.6
Now, lets suppose I am selling my product to a dealer at 30% discount.
Therefore, Sale Price = 70% of MRP = Rs. 70
Sales Tax = 4% of Sale Price = 0.04*70 = 2.8
Therefore, total revenue from the deal = 70-9.6-2.8 = Rs. 57.6

you can use Advance Pricing or creating discount or attiribute while calculating.
this is not much complex, possible even with Advance Pricing too. Thanks

Installation of Oracle Discoverer for PeopleSoft and Oracle apps(11.5.10)

Hello Gurus,
I hope I am in the right forum. I have been assigned to install Oracle Discoverer for Oracle ERP (11.5.10). We currently have a Oracle Discoverer environment for Peoplesoft. My questions are follows.
1. Can I use the existing Oracle Discoverer which is used to get PeopleSoft data for Oracle Applications (11.5.10) ?? This way I avoid installing another copy of Discoverer. In Future, if we could use the existing technology for other Databases.
2. If I go in for a new install of Oracle Discoverer, what is that I need to install ? I am guessing, there should be
1. Desktop application on the client
2. Do I need to install anything on the server ?
3. I will have a Oracle Discoverer database
I guess 1. (Desktop application) would be installed on all desktops ? Is there a web based thingy ?? For 2 and 3 I would require the DBA's to help me out.
Would anyone have a high level diagram of the things that go in for installation ? I would really appreciate if you could send it to kiranramachandra at yahoo dot com.
Thanks folks
Kiran

Hi,
1. No, you don't need to reinstall Discoverer, you can just connect to the new database provided you have updated the TNSNames.ora file. However, before you can connect with Discoverer Desktop you will need to use Discoverer Admin to create a new Apps mode EUL in the Applications Database.
2. You will need a client installation of Discoverer (Admin and Desktop). If you want to use the web based Discoverer Plus and Viewer tools you will need to a Oracle Application Server installation. If you are installing Discoverer 10g then you should install the Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition. But depending on your version and configuration you may need to install other tools.

Oracle DB 10g and BI Discoverer for OLAP - Dimension Attributes

Hi,
We are using Oracle Database 10g release 1 with partitioning, data mining and OLAP options and Analytic Workspace Manager 10.2.0.1.0A to create the multidimensional objects. For the user dimensions created using AWM we have custom attributes like HireDate, StartDate, Sales Personnel Role etc., For reporting purposes we are using Discoverer for OLAP. In this Discoverer version, I don't see an explicit provision to drag these attributes onto the worksheet. We are only able to filter based on these attributes and capture the measures...
Can someone throw light on this? Also, if there is a possibility to drag these attributes onto the worksheet can that be expounded?
Thanks in advance!

Again this depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you define an attribute against a dimension it takes very little space as it is not directly connected to a cube and so no data is stored against that attribute.
If, however, you have a 4D revenue cube (product, geography, channel, time) with products attributes COLOR and PACK SIZE and you want to view revenue additionally borken-out by COLOR and PACK SIZE as well as the other four dimensions then your schema will require additional storage space. However, 10g compressed cubes and sparsity options do help to manage the explosion of data points as the number of dimensions increases. This should allow you to easily add attributes as dimensions into your cube.
One thing to remember is that most users start to struggle when confronted with more than 9 dimensions. So although Oracle OLAP can create extremely large dimensional models, users prefer their cubes to have 9 or fewer dimensions.
Hope this helps,
Keith

I am having problems with the Preview application. When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Thanks for any help

Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

How to Install and deploy Oracle Discoverer in Oracle AppServer 10.1.3.2

I need to know how to install and deploy Oracle Discoverer in Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.2?

Hi
Discoverer doesn't install into OAS 10.1.3.2. It uses 10.1.2.1 or 10.1.2.2.
When you install Discoverer it installs its own OAS components.

How to Remove 'Powered by Oracle' Image for specific Dashboard

Hi,
How to remove 'Powered by Oracle' from dashboard, if so is itpossible to hide for specific dashboard.
Thanks,
Malli.

Hi,
The below code can be used to hide the Powered by Oracle logo in a specific dashboard.
<script language="javascript">
window.onload=hideImg;
function hideImg(){
var all = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for (var i=0, max=all.length; i < max; i++) {
     var imgName = all.getAttribute("src");
     if(imgName.substring(imgName.lastIndexOf("/")+1) == "siebelbug.gif"){
          all[i].style.visibility='hidden';
</script>
Open the dashboard, place a text object on it, open properties and copy/paste the above code as is. Check the option 'Contains HTML Markup'. Basically the above code searches for the image 'siebelbug.gif' (Powered by Oracle logo) and hides it as soon as the page is loaded. I have tested this in 10.1.3.4 version.
Hope it helps!!
Thanks

How to do this in oracle ?

Hello,
from time to time i have to process two text-files that i receive from a 3rd party application. The "processing" is pretty simple, i only have to filter out some data with a sql query that is not complex at all. The filtered results have to be stored as a csv file on the harddisk.
So far i've been using MS Access for this but now i would like to switch this to oracle.
Now i was wondering if some of you can suggest me whats the best way of doing this. I would like to automate things as much as possible, for example just calling some stored procedure.
Would you use external tables rather than sqlloader to get access to the data in the text files ? Beside using the spool command to create the csv files are there better ways to write the flat file ?

One approach could be like this.
1. create an external table for each file separately. This would enable access to the two query with simple SQL.
2. Now you can do your "Processing" over the external table. Note that external tables are read only.
3. Once the processing is done then use UTL_FILE to create the new file you want in the server directory.
The advantage of using External Table and UTL_FILE is that they are part of oracle database. They are not external tools of oracle. But SQL Loader is an external tool and Spool is a SQL Plus feature which is again an external tool. So when you want to automate something using PL/SQL they wont be handy.
Thanks,
karthick.

I purchased an iPod touch 5 64gb mint condition, it was working good but now I reset it and it's asking for the Apple ID of the original owner. Does anyone know how to bypass this so it works for me?

I purchased an iPod Touch 5 64gb mint condition, it was working great but I reset it and now it's asking me for an Apple Id. Problem is it want the original owners & not mine. I would have no problem contacting the person I bought it off of but I no longer have their information since when it worked I deleted the emails!
Does anyone know how to bypass this problem so that I can have the ipod work for me and my Apple ID?
I would even take it to Apple if they could fix it, would they? and what might that cost me?
Any suggestions would be great!!!!

Nope. Only the previous owner can do that. See:

How to handel this calculation in BI for the Mod. Production Planning ????

Hi All,
I have a scenario like this :
Look into the follwing Data.
PLANT |    RUNDATE|    WORK_CENTER|   SHIFT| PRODUCT_TYPE|    ALLOWED_TIME|   LINEHOUR1
1010--10/01/2007D0001A400--
0.114
1010--10/01/2007D0001B500--
0.142
1010--10/01/2007D0001C100--
0.028
1010--10/01/2007D0001D1100--
0.314
1010--10/01/2007D0001E600--
0.171
1010--10/01/2007D0001F800--
0.228
TOTAL ALLOWED_TIEM------       3500
1010--10/01/2007D0011A1400--
0.334
1010--10/01/2007D0011B500--
0.142
1010--10/01/2007D0011C100--
0.028
1010--10/01/2007D0011D1100--
0.314
1010--10/01/2007D0011E600--
0.171
1010--10/01/2007D0011F800--
0.228
TOTAL ALLOWED_TIEM------       4500
I have to calculate the Production Line Hours, based on the following calculation.
Now i have to input the value in the INFOOBJECT LINEHOUR1 based on the following calculation.
400 / 3500 = 0.114 (ALLOWED_TIME of every line item has to be divided with TOTAL ALLOWED_TIME)
500 / 3500 = 0.142
100 / 3500 = 0.028
1100 / 3500 = 0.314
.........so on
The workcenter is different is two blocks of example data, and hence to be calculated differently.
Now how to achive this,
I appriciate your insite on this problem.
Regards
Shaan.

Hi Philips,
Thanks for your response.
I want to make you more clear about the problem.
We are calculating based on the following combinations.
PLANT--RUNDATE-WORKCENTER-SHIFT-----PRODUCTTYPE
We have three different Plants.
Rundate is assume as the Calday.
We have 18 Workcenters.
Each Workcenter can have 3 shifts maximum.
And in every sift there would be 3 to 4 product types produced.
So what i mean to let you know is, the calculation is not based on WORKCENTER, where as it is based on all the five(5)
characteristics combination.
The total allowed time will be calculated based on PLANT......RUNDATE......WORKCENTER....SHIFT.
We normally calculate the linehour with the below formula...
(ALLOWED TIME/ TOTAL ALLOWED TIME) * (SHIFTTIME - DOWN TIME - BREAK TIME).
So i have all the information in the line item level except the TOTAL ALLOWED TIME.
Now i want to insert a new column in the CUBE and wanted to have the TOTAL ALLOWED TIME in every line item,
might not seem to be a good idea, but just let me know how to do it.
If it is not clear, you can ask me for further questions.
THANK YOU PHILIPS.
Regards
Shaan

How to pass parameter to a Discoverer Plus OLAP Worksheet??

Hi,
I have used discoverer plus OLAP and portal to develop executive dashboards in my company. I put my date dimension in Page Item of discoverer plus OLAP worksheet to view a specific week/month/year of analysis i.e. Jul-07.
Now I have to open all the worksheets and change the page item value when week/month ends. If it was 'Jul-07' then I have to change it as 'Aug-07'.
In discoverer plus OLAP we can't pass parameters as we can in discoverer relational.
Can someone help me how I can set the new values without opening discoverer worksheets?
Regards,
Shahid

Dear Shahid,
I downloaded the Oracle Application Server SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0. While installing It gave me two options
1. Basic Install
Install J2EE server and SOA suite of applications including BPEL, ESB
and OWSM.
2. Advance Install (This gives 4 options)
a. J2EE Server, Web Server and SOA suite
b. J2EE Server and Web Server
c. J2EE Server
d. Web Server\
According to your instructions I need to install it as Insfrastructure, BI and portal. Now can you tell me which option of the install I should select in order to meet the requirements of Infrastructure, BI and Portal.
Because I am very new in this technology so If you can guide to me to get started at least then I can follow the Oracle Tutorial for further training.
Thanks very much in this regards.

How can I start the Oracle services for windows?

I started the oracle services by order :

Is the order correct?

Hi Michael,
I think, then, that the problem is one of permissions. What I've done on Windows 7 installations is to go to the InDesign application folder (in program files), select the InDesign.exe file, use the Context menu (right-click) to display the Properties panel, and then turn on the Run This Program as an Administrator option in the Privelege Level section of the Compatibility tab. Click the Change Settings for All Users button to apply the change (assuming that your current user profile is an Administrator).
Let me know if that helps!
Thanks,
Ole
