Using Discoverer with Remedy

Hi All,
Does anyone know if you can use discoverer with a remedy database or any other sort of database other than Oracle ?
Cheers
Sandy

Hi Sandy.
I believe it's possible, depending on the version you want to use.
If you plan to use Discoverer web based versions (Plus and/or Viewer), then You'll need OracleAS.
There's more than one way to have discoverer with non-oracle databases, so, read this...

... and choose wich one you like better.

Using Discoverer with SOA

Hello
We are using Discoverer in some projects and we would like to know if Discoverer can be used from SOA as a service.
Regards
José Tirado

Hi Paul
Let me take each question in turn.
1. Do we have a standard discoverer EUL similar to the one which we get for Oracle EBS for Seibel? I guess not but still worth asking. The answer, as you suspected, is no. There is no standard EUL against Siebel, although to build one would not be that difficult to someone experienced in doing so. I have built EULs against several databases that don't already have EULs. All I need is someone to show me the existing tool's metadata and and I can take it from there.
2. Is any one aware if Discoverer can directly leverage the Business rules set in Seibel without having to set up new business areas/EUL? Once again the answer is no. Disoverer is not able to read the business rules inside Siebel. This would have to be done manually.
3. Since the above 2 options are unlikely, is it possible to expose discoverer using the Seibel portal. Kind of like the SSO we can use with Oracle EBS or Oracle Portal. Again, sorry. The only portal that Discoverer can be exposed onto direct is the Oracle Portal using Discoverer portlets. This is set to change later in the year when Discoverer 11g and OBI EE 11g are out because then Discoverer's portlets will be more open source with even an interface to Interactive Dashboards. In the meanwhile, the best you could do would be to export Discoverer content to HTML or maybe to CSV format and display that on the Siebel portal.
In order to migrate Siebel metadata into a Discoverer EUL you need two skills. You need someone who understands the Siebel metadata layer, at least the presentation layer, and someone who is expert at putting together a Discoverer EUL. You may well have the first skills yourself or know someone in your company that does. There are several people on this forum who are expert in Discoverer, myself included.
If you would like to discuss getting my help with migrating Siebel metadata to Discoverer drop a line to: [email protected]

Use Discoverer with Olap Cubes

Hi, is there any one that know how work Discovere with Olap Cubes?
Thanks

hi
if you mean the cubes (rolap/molap), which the bibeans are working on it is a yes/no
for molap cubes:you use the olap table to build a virutal star on top of the analytic workspace, which is then queryable by any relational cube, including discoverer
for rolap cubes:not (yet)
having said that:watch the announcements during oracleworld

Using Discoverer with Oracle Portal - URGENT!!!

I need to setup Oracle Portal 3.0 with Discoverer 3i for a demonstration tomorrow due to a "this just came in!" from the management! ;)
What I would like to do it to display some sort of Discoverer portlet so anyone with a browser can access and view Discover results in a nice manner.
I have been told this is possible (by Oracle Denmark) but how....?!
Could anyone please email a step-by-step description if you know how to do this?
Thanks!

If you don't check the "Connect to Applications EUL" option as described, Disco looks for a database user with the user name SYSADMIN, which you don't want (and probably doesn't exist).
An alternative is to put a : at the end of the user name (ie SYSADMIN:) which makes Disco treat this as an Oracle Applications user name, regardless of the connection options chosen. This should then prompt you to select the Oracle Applications Responsibility you want to use (assuming you have more than one). You can log directly into a specific responsibility by adding the responsibility name after the : (ie SYSADMIN:Disco Admin).

Using Discoverer with Oracle Apps

Hi,
I have Oracle Apps vision instance on my laptop. I installed Discoverer Administrator and Desktop. But when I connect through Desktop, it only recognizes database users. When I check Application User check box still it did not recognize the Oracle Apps user 'SYSADMIN', the error message is 'Invalid username/password' which is a valid user and I could login to Oracle Apps using it and it has many responsibilities.
Is there a step I am missing to synchronize Apps users with database or Discoverer Administrator/Desktop so that I can login to Desktop using Apps user to create workbooks.
Thanks,
Suresh

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the reply. At the time of creation of EUL it gives two options
1. Grant Access to Public
2. New EUL is for use by Oracle Applications users only
When I selected the second one I am not able to access it by any user from desktop tool but when I used the first option I can only login from Desktop using database users only not Appliations users, it gives error message 'Invalid username/password'. I dont see anywhere else I need to do something while creating EUL.
Please give me the insight into this.
Thanks,
Suresh

Using Discoverer with 4i

Hi All,
I want to use the discoverer which comes along with the E-Business suite 11i. Can you suggest how can i configure the discoverer client.
Thanks,
Prashanth.

Before install, assure you have an Oracle client installed
Install:
1) Download "Oracle Business Intelligence Tools 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for Microsoft Windows" from here
2) Execute setup.exe
3) Remember the %ORACLE_HOME% used (ussually C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1)
Configuration:
1) Databases must appear in the %TNS_ADMIN%\tnsnames.ora
If you are trying to connect through an Applications database, also:
2) Create a directory secure under %ORACLE_HOME%\discoverer
3) Copy there the .dbc files of each Applications environment
4) Define a system environment variable FND_SECURE=%ORACLE_HOME%\discoverer\secure
5) Add to the regedit, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\Discoverer 10\Database, the following entries:
a) EnableTriggers, type DWORD, value 1
b) DefaultPreserveDisplayPropertyForRefresh, type DWORD, value 1
6) Open Discoverer Administrator, go to Tools -> Options, and check "both" in the connect options
7) Set the values of GWYUID and FNDNAM for Applications. These values are in the .dbc files, but ussually are: GWYUID=APPLSYSPUB/PUB and FNDNAM=APPS
Helpfull?

Using discoverer with Oracle Text

I thought Discoverer would be able to intereact with Oracle intermedia/text indexes...can they? i.e. If there is an Intermedia Index, and the user know it is there but doesn't know the tags to query, can you point Discoverer to the index and it'll determine the tags avaiable to search on?
Thanks,

Sorry. The correct one is http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/text.920/a96517/acase.htm#620714

Discoverer 4i Plus returns no data when using views with db link references

I am using Discoverer 41 Plus to view reports online.
When I create a worksheet based on a view, that only references local tables, everything is OK and Disco plus shows the output OK.
When I create a worksheet based on a view, that references a Database link, Disco plus gives me an "Query caused no data to be returned" error.
Is this to be expected from Discoverer Plus?
Thanks - Sue.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the default position (and default aggregate) for the EUL folder item? I can see that some of the folders have number type items with default position 'Data Point' and others have these with default position of 'Top or Side'. I'm totally stabbing around in the dark here; looking at EUL folders which exhibit the problem and those which don't.
I've tried changing one field to 'Data Point' and it hasn't helped. Will try changing the join items now I think.
If anyone has any comments, would be v. grateful as I'm looking at dropping folders which have quite a bit of code around them and trying to re-create them exactly, which is a risky and horrible solution.

Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i

Hi,
We have installed 11.5.10.2 on Linux, and developer need to use Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle EBS 11i.
I have downloade the latest veriosn for Discoverer and othe two patches Patchset 4960210 and Patch 5985072 .
After these steps do i need to Install the Oracle Application Server 10g to use Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle EBS 11i.
Can some one pls guide me on this...
Thanks,

But i have not uderstood the where to install the Oracle Application Server 10g on Oracle EBS 11i or it Can be install on Stand alone machin for safer side. You can install it on a standalone server OR in a separate Oracle Business Intelligence Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) ORACLE_HOME on an existing application tier server node.
Also can it be install on the Windows machin as our EBS 11i installed on Linux Platform.Can be installed on any OS (as long as it is supported).

How to find out the list of users who used Discoverer

Dear All,
We have Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 with Disco. 4i.
We need to know how we can find out the Employee ID, Responsibility, Org... who used discoverer during a specific period in the past ? For example the last year.
Any help plz.
Regards,
Mohammad Muhtadi

I'm not sure You can get the responsibilities or the org that was used in that specific run but as for getting when it was run and by whom...
Try that SQL:
select distinct
qs.qs_doc_name workbook,
--qs.qs_doc_details worksheet,
case when instr(qs.qs_doc_owner,'#')=1 then substr(qs.qs_doc_owner,2,10) else qs.qs_doc_owner end workbook_owner,
qs.qs_created_date run_date,
case when instr(qs.qs_created_by,'#')=1 then substr(qs.qs_created_by,2,10) else qs.qs_created_by end apps_user_id,
fu.user_name apps_user_name,
ppf.FULL_NAME user_full_name,
ppf.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER user_employee_number
from
eul_us.eul4_qpp_stats qs,
fnd_user fu,
per_people_f ppf
where to_number(substr(qs.qs_created_by,2,10))=fu.user_id(+)
and fu.employee_id=ppf.PERSON_ID
and sysdate between ppf.EFFECTIVE_START_DATE and ppf.EFFECTIVE_END_DATE
change the "eul_us" to the discoverer schema.
Basically the primary data you are looking for lies in the qpp_stats table...

Discoverer with OWB generated EULs

i configure my warehouse star schema using OWB (warehouse builder 9i release 2) and generated the EUL. the were some warnings but they were pointing to some invalid characters in the names of the objects but the import succeeded.
i could see all the imported definition from OWB using Discoverer Admin (also iDS Release 2 - EUL version 5).
sample of my star schema:-
fact table
salesman_id
product_id
sales_amt
dimension
salesman (which also contains salesman name attribute)
product (which also contains product description attribute)
so, i can see the Discoverer joins from the fact to the dimension tables.
when i create a workbook (report) using Discoverer Desktop, i faced the following problems:-
if i just have Salesman (ID or Description) as a row, everything is fine.
if i add in the Product ID, it still works as per normal.
but when i add Product Description into the report, i experienced a weird behaviour. somehow, the Salesman ID field will be automatically filtered to show only a certain number of records in the result (less than what it initially was) !
usually if you put field in the Page Items section you will have to select to view <All> records, right ? citing the scenario i just mentioned above, i will only see some record values ... i won't see the <All> displayed for me to choose.
has this got to do with the foreign key relationship from the Fact table's Product ID field to the Product Dimension table ? it worked for the Salesman dimension !!
the only thing different about the product dimension is the product id field is VARCHAR2 length 18. you could have numeric values like 000000000012345678 (numbers are padded with zeros to make up 18 chars) and alphanumeric values like MAT_TG12345 (which are not padded with anything - left-justified). i could set that the report would only retrieve the records which has product id matching the numeric values !
any ideas ?
thanks to anyone who is kind enough to read this lengthy post and reply it :)

It would appear that you do not have integrity between the fact and the product dimension.
Does the foriegn key exisit in the database (deployed) or is it only in the OWB repository (not deployed).
Two thing:-
Try changin the join to an outer join.
Take the sql from the View SQL drop down option and run in another SQL Editor.

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. any soln ?

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

Using scripts with different versions of AppleScript

Hi,
I have a script that works perfectly in my Apple Script Editor v2.4.3 and Language AppleScript 2.2.1 I've given that script to a friend of mine with AppleScript Editor 2.7 and Apple Script Language 2.4
The script does not work properly in their AppleScript Editor, does anyone know why this might be and/or how to remedy it? Is there a way for them to download Language 2.2.1 to use or is there a way to figure out how I need to update my code to work for the 2.4 language.
Thanks

Hello
Whilst scripts using certain features of the latest version of AppleScript language won't even complile on previous versions, scripts written for previous versions should usually work in later versions with some exceptions.

- Notable change introduced in 10.8 is new requirement on referencing file system object.
E.g.,
open "/path/to/file"
may work under 10.7 but not under 10.8 or later. Instead you need to use:
open "/path/to/file" as POSIX file
etc.
- Notable change introduced in 10.9 is new requirement on using Accessibility and GUI scripting.

Using Discoverer 4i to view data on SQL Server

Hello,
We have Discoverer 4i set up to work with Oracle 9i. Now our Discoverer users want to use Discoverer to view data that is in SQL Severer. We don't want to rebuild data in SQL Server into 9i. What can we set up so 4i can view and maybe update data that is in SQL Severer. Thank you.

I can't tell exactly what the problem is, but why don't you try a different approach. See a couple of the tutorials from the link below, and try it again.

To visualize the report created using Discoverer Plus in Web

Hi,
I had created the report usingOracleBI Discoverer Plus Version 10.1.2.45.46c & able to visualize the report in OracleBI Discoverer Viewer Version 10.1.2.45.46c.
URL fo accessing the report is as:
http://machinename1:7777/discoverer/viewer
If i try to connect to from another machine (machine2) as
http://machinename1:7777/discoverer/viewer
i'm unable to connect & i get the error page can not be displayed.
Is it necessary to have the URL only with domain name as
http://machinename.domainname:portno/discoverer/viewer
I had already installed OWB, Oracle BI etc. If i had to create a domain then i have install all these & need to work from scratch.
Is there any way to access the report across the internet or web.
Plz do provide a solution for this issue.
Thx in Advance
