Scheduled discoverer report giving error

Hi All,
I am facing a problem where in I have scheduled a report. The table populated after scheduling is fetching data but when we try to open the scheduled report it gives an error ' Inconsistent datatype expected number got date '.
We are using a function in the report which fetches a date colomn and return type of that date used is Varchar(2). We also tried using the return type as date but same error comes.
An early response will be highly appriciated.
Regards,
Shruti

i have similar problem - i have some calculated columns in the report.....when i schedule it the values in one column are getting populated in the other column.....if i run the report manually i did not have any problem.
i had a small calculation for a column (date)....user wanted to see it in a different format in the report.....
already that column was existing in the folder but in a different format......but upon users request i just put up a small calculation for that...........
i scheduled the report and ironically only that calculated column (date) was getting populated wrong........so i pulled the normal date column from the folder..........and now i have two columns for date (1-calculated, 2 - from folder)..........1st column is anyhow getting populated wrong....but the 2nd column was pretty good........
many of you might know....."*IDLE MAN'S BRAIN IS A DEVILS WORKSHOP*"....
i formatted the 1st column with white color and kept the background color also as white......so that when the user opens the scheduled report.....he will see only a blank white column for the 1st column............i told him to export it to excel and then delete that blank column and save your excel output..
i know this is the worst solution or idea anyone can get.........but i had to do it.

  • Scheduling Discoverer Report and distributing Discoverer Report Output

    Hi,
    We are using discoverer (Along with Oracle HCM R12) and would like the  END USER to schedule the reports by themselves.
    There is an option to schedule the report, and also an option to share it to chosen users/ responsibilities.
    We scheduled one report and also set the sharing option to share with others but it seems the report executes but doesn't get sent out by email to the END USER's email id.
    Any ideas / thought on this please?
    NB: We are looking to distribute Discoverer Report Output from scheduled Discoverer reports...not looking to share the report with other users/ responsibilities.

    2. Is there better solution to acheive what we need?

  • Scheduling Discoverer Reports in Bulk (without GUI) - is there a way?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a way to schedule a bunch of reports without using the GUI (there's zillions of reports that run well most of the time but sometimes some of them don't work, so instead of having people going mad clicking through all of them in search of one that doesn't work we'd like to schedule them all and check which one didn't run).
    I know we can schedule reports using GUI (tested) but GUI means I'll have to open and schedule each report by hand.
    While doing it manually would probably keep me busy until retirement age I fear for my sanity if I start doing it that way.
    Does anyone have a pointer on how to handle it? I'd love to do it through direct access to the meta tables, command line is good (although I see no documentation on scheduling via command line, only on scheduling a command to run report and running it via an external scheduler).
    Thank you all in advance,
    C

    Hi,
    is there a way? Not really. When Discoverer schedules a workbook it updates the EUL with details of the batched workbook, creates a package and view to run the workbook and schedules a job on DBMS_JOBs queue. There is no API to do this from outside Discoverer so you would have to write your own API.
    Another good reason for using a 3rd party scheduler.

  • Scheduled Discoverer report link for viewer in portal

    Hi,
    When a link for scheduled report for plus users is created in portal Oracle suggestes the following. This is good since it does not need the run number and the same link will work for all reruns.
    http://<host.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_a156&opendbid=SALES_ANALYSIS2&sheetid=42&workbooksource=Scheduled
    whereas for opening a scheduled workbook result in viewer the link needs the run number which prevents using the same link for every run.
    Do anyone found a way to workaround this
    Thanks for the help

    Hi Jay
    I can see that you've had this posted for a little while so I thought I would at least let you know that I've read it. I'm afraid the answer is not what you hoped though as I don't know of a way off the top of my head to do what you ask.

  • Scheduled DeskI report gets error SetPrompts failed (80004005).

    Hello
    I have a DeskI report which I can refresh without any problem but when that report is scheduled I always get the error SetPrompts failed (80004005).
    The user that the report is scheduled by is the Administrator (who I can also refresh the report without problem).
    I have tried to delete the Universe and export it again as Administrator, changed the report and exported again as Administrator.
    My system is BO XI 3.1 SP 3.1 FP 3.2 Enterprise server.
    Has anyone had this problem and found some solution?
    Best regards,
    Hjortur.

    I seen similar issue when we migrated reports and universe from 6.5 to XI R2. If it is a old report, report prompts might have got corrupted, delete the prompts in the report and save the report to corporate folder. Import the report and add the prompts what ever you needed and test it.
    If above scenario doesn't work try this work flow
    1. Delete the report from your local  folders in your system
    2. Delete the universe from your local folder in your system
    3. Import the report and delete the prompts, save the report and export to different test folder.
    4. Import the report from test folder and add what ever prompts you needed and once again export to test folder and test the schedule...if the report is working fine in test folder, delete master report from prod folder and export the modified report to PROD folders.
    Let me know the results.
    Thanks

  • Newbie to BI Publisher..preview report giving error msg in word 2007..

    Hi,
    I am new to BI Report. I have installed BI Publisher standalone 10.3.4.1..Generated sample XML file...created report on Bi Publisher and now when I try to do preview it gives me an error message saying that I need to check the path of the file
    'D:\Documents and Settings\swatee.jain\Local Settings\Application Data\Oracle\BIPublisher\TemplateBuilderforWord\tmp\441274806764750out.rtf'.
    When I go to this location and click on the rtf file..I see my report...Am I missing some word setting....I am not able to generate any BI report...Any help would be appreciated...
    Thanks
    swatee

    We found out what the problem is.
    The report was using a wizard table, the table had 8 columns that actually went past the margins of the page. The built in renderer for PDF in the BI publisher desktop does not fail, but the report columns do "fall" off the page when you look close, just by a few characters on the last column but the line making the box around the table IS still printed making the last few characters missing difficult to notice.
    The BI Publisher render simply throws the error above and fails.
    We removed 2 columns, made sure the report stays in the margins of the report and all works well now.

  • Discoverer - Report Scheduling

    Hi Friends,
    I have scheduled discoverer report. Now the status is "Running Query". Can we unschedule this report or need to kill oracle session.
    Even if i will kill the session will it take up the next scheduled report automatically.
    Pankaj

    Hi
    Your Discoverer Administrator can unschedule any future schedule so this will stop it being scheduled again.
    I appreciate that you may well know how to kill an Oracle session so I include the following for anyone who does not.
    To kill a current job, you or your DBA will need access to V$ views, V$SESSION, V$PROCESSS, V$SQLAREA. Also, V$OPEN_CURSOR will have all currently opened cursors.
    From V$SESSION you can get the SID and SERIAL#.
    SELECT
    SESS.SID,
    SESS.SERIAL#,
    SESS.OS_USER,
    SESS.PROGRAM
    FROM V$SESSION SESS;
    As a DBA, you can kill the session using the following command.
    ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID, SERIAL#'
    Note: SID and SERIAL# values are separated by a comma and are within single quotes.
    In some situations the Oracle.exe is not able to kill the session immediately. In these cases the session will be "marked for kill". It will then be killed as soon as possible.
    Issuing the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION command is the only safe way to kill an Oracle session. If the marked session persists for some time you may consider killing the process at the operating system level. Killing OS processes is dangerous and can lead to instance failures, so do this at your own peril.
    It is possible to force the kill by adding the IMMEDIATE keyword:
    ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID,SERIAL#' IMMEDIATE;
    If you're interested in killing sessions at the operating system levele, here's a good link: http://www.dba-oracle.com/tips_killing_oracle_sessions.htm
    Best wishes

  • Regarding Issue when Exporting the Output of the Discoverer Report to Excel

    Hi,
    Can Any of you guys help me out in this issue. I am exporting the Discoverer Report Output to Excel sheet, I am able to export but while I am opening the excel sheet I am getting an error saying "UNABLE TO READ FILE".
    Please help me out in this Issue, it is so urgent.
    Thanks in Advance..
    Raja.

    Hi,
    Is there any way to export the output of scheduled Discoverer Reports to a particular server using Discoverer plus.Only by openning and exporting each report manually.
    is there any way to get the output name in a particular syntax. I want to concatenate date in the output name.Only by entering the filename when you do the export.
    The best way to do this is to use Discoverer Desktop and a third party scheduler. Then you can export all your reports automatically and define the filename used in the output. Search this forum for more information on third party schedulers.
