AS 10g SE now includes Reports and Discoverer?

I've read some articles about the "new" AS that it has been "re-packaged" (licensewise) and that the BI stuff like Reports and Discoverer are included in the Std Ed. Also (in the FAQ I think) that some EE stuff has been moved "down" to SE - sounds promising! But I have not been able to verify this... Anyone out there?

I urge Oracle do the same for Discoverer.
We have been using Discoverer since 3i. This year, we had some people on 3i still and some on 4i. We went through the conversion to 4i and no one is using 3i at all now. These people are very used to how Discoverer works. They are used to using database authentication and security to workbooks.
The Infrastructure can store connection information for each user. By default, it stores connection information in cookies on the user's machine but you can configure the Infrastructure to store this data for you. The Infrastructure also stores metadata for Discoverer Portlets (Portal required).
So that is it. If you are not using Portal nor care about storing connection information in a database, then why even have the Infrastructure for Discoverer? Just like Reports and Forms, if you aren't using SSO or Portal, there is no need for the Infrastructure and Oracle should provide an installer to let you install Discoverer without having the Infrastructure sitting there.
Here is the doc on Metalink that explains what the Infrastructure does with Discoverer 9i.
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=224871.1
I also spoke with John Entenmann at ODTUG in Miami this year and asked him if Discoverer works and is supported in an install without the Infrastructure. He agreed that if you are not using Portal or SSO, you don't need the Infrastructure with Discoverer 9i.
Now Oracle needs to support Discoverer customers in the same way they are going to support Forms and Reports customers by providing a more reasonable installer that doesn't require the Infrastructure to be installed first.

  • Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer - Error in Final Setup

    I have followed multiple setup instructions now to try and get Forms working on my local machine.
    Including the following:
    Forms 11g - Installation steps for a developer machine
    I have done the following on a Windows 7 64bit Setup:
    Installed Oracle 11g Database
    Installed Weblogic 64 bit using the wls1033_generic.jar with a 64 bit JDK
    Installed Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer, but when I get to the last stage where it goes through steps they all end up as failed and I can get no further, what would cause this?

  • How can I uninstall a damaged installation of Fusion - PFRD 11.1.1.6.0 - Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

    Hello,
    I am upgrading EBS 11i to 12i, Discoverer 4 to 11. After completing ebs installation and upgrade successfully, I am now working on the Oracle Fusion piece of the upgrade.
    I have installed
    1. JDK
    2. Repository Creation Utility - RCU (schema)
    3. Weblogic - WLS 10.3.6
    4. Oracle Fusion - Discoverer 11g Release 1 Patchset 1 11.1.1.2.0 PFRD
    5. Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patchset 11.1.1.6.0 - Patchset 13517084
    6. Executed config.sh and it failed with but continued.
         During the Configuration of Oracle Fusion with config.sh there was failure at with "fails at creating data sources" and accidentally proceeded and all seem to go well until after shutting down the servers when Weblogic Managed Server is unable to start.
    The start log indicated: "weblogic.store.PersistentStoreFatalException: [Store:280105]The persistent file store "_WLS_WLS_DISCO" cannot open file _WLS_WLS_DISCO000000.DAT." and I have been unable to find a solution for this error?
    See log file error at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15497130/oracle/ebs11/startManagedWebLogic.sh_nohup.out
    If re-installation is my only option, then what are the steps to uninstall, and which components do I have to uninstall given that I had upgraded all the schemas involved?
    Mathias

    Hey,
    You can always change the JDBC datasources in the Weblogic admin console . but have you recorded what is the specific error you got during the datasources creation .
    I prefer...create a new user , give him sysdba privillages . Start RCU and create the DEV_DISCOVERER , DEV_DISCOVERER_PS schemas (prefix is your choice)
    The Admin server will start . so go to admin console .
    click services -> Data Sources
    Check the data sources you have . edit each datasource and update the connection pool information .
    after this you can start the Managed server WLS_DISCO
    i believe this will solve this .........
    if you still get issue again . you can try the link Using the WebLogic Persistent Store
    Thanks

  • Install and config issues with Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

    For a while now I've been struggling with migrating a testing database to a newer version.
    And right now I'm pretty much stuck at trying to configure Oracle Portal, Forms Reports and Discoverer
    What I've got:
    Windows server 2008 R2 64bit
    Oracle 11g database
    Java 6u27 64bit
    JDK 1.6 64bit (using this after 1.7 ended up throwing out bugs while trying to start a weblogic server)
    JDK 1.7 64bit
    Weblogic 10.3.5 (or so i think - I've installed from the wls1035_generic.jar from the oracle website)
    PFRD 11.1.1.2 with 11.1.1.3 installed over it, installed without config
    and a hanging up configuration
    Basically I've been trying to install PFRD (only forms, reports and enterprise manager from it actually) but it kept failing once it got to the configuration stage, so I installed without config, applied 11.1.1.3 and now trying to run the config manually with the good old \bin\config.bat
    Result - the config froze for approx.18 hours then failed
    There isn't much useful info I could deduct from the logs, mostly just says one or more configuration parts failed. At one place it mentions trying to set up a domain and starting up an adminserver for it - and apparently that's where it hangs up and finally times out and fails.
    I'm a little clueless what to do about it as the logs don't say anything else of use I could understand. Any ideas there?

    Trying the step by step, the only difference between that and what i do seems to be the file copying (which I can't do - there is no windows\extra\ directory anywhere, the files mentionned seem to already be on their places and either only there, or exactly the same) and clistering
    So far the news ain't good - the config process hangs on creating domain ->Step Creating Domain started
    It isn't frozen per se - the process doesn't use up any processor time, memory consumption within bounds, it reacts to button clicks and all..it just doesn't do anything concerning the said domain
    the last thing the .out file shows:
    Creating a new AdminServer Object ...
    AdminServer port is 7002
    Starting the domain ...

    I'm kinda paranoid about the double backslash in the dll path, but other than that no clue as to why the domain doesn't set up
    the other link you mentionned seems to have no relevance yet
    does that clear up anything for you though?
    ..can the lack of SOA suite have anything to do with the problem?

    You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
    In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
    First look for this link then drill into it:

    In this section you will find the following:

    Since your weblogic is on version 10.3.3, you can only succesfully configure your fusion middleware when you are on version 11.1.1.3.
    So (1) restart the install of fusion middleware 11.1.1.2, (2) choose install type INSTALL ONLY, (3) start installation of fusion middleware 11.1.1.3 and finally (4) configure fusion middleware using AS_ORACLE_HOME\bin\config.bat

  • Help in Installing Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer(11.1.1.2.0)

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Linux x86-64.
    I have installed weblogic 10.3.5 generic jar file.

    Please help me installing portal and reports.
    Is there any patch i am missing or the weblogic version is incorrect?
    Thanks.

    You cannot configure Fmw 11.1.1.2 against WLS 10.3.5. They are not supported nor compatible.
    If you want to use WLS 10.3.5, you need to "install" 11.1.1.2, but do not configure. That is an installation option. After you have successfully installed 11.1.1.2 you will need to patch it to 11.1.1.6. After patching, you then can run the configuration (config.bat).
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#CLINS256
    Version 11 is far more complex than previous versions. I strongly encourage everyone to review the product documentation before trying to install. You can also refer to the following MyOracleSupport note:

    Thanks for attention.the port which you have mentioned is it WLS_FORMS_PORT or any other.
    Try running default Forms port WLS_FORMS_PORT that will be 9001
    or check for the WLS_FORMS_PORT in the portlist.ini file.
    Also are you getting any exception in the Java console.?

    By default OBIEE 10g considers a table as fact table that is dragged from physical to BMM layer. That's why you see the yellow color icon.
    If it is a dimension table, you will have to join this table with a fact table in BMM layer. After this the yellow color icon will go away.
    Pls mark correct/helpful.

  • How to setup security for Forms, Reports, and Discoverer11g on WLS 10.3.5

    I am trying to setup simple security on my WebLogic server (linux OS) using a Windows Active Directory Server. I have an LDAP authentication provider created that links to a central Active Directory server, but I am unclear on where to go next.
    I want the user to login to the network from their PC but not have to login again if they decide to run an application like Discoverer, all of the authentication would be handled by the Windows AD server. Has anyone else done this before on WebLogic?
    Are there white papers out there that would explain the steps required to accomplish this? Thanks for any help.

    Soooo...I need to install OID on top of my Forms, Reports, and Discoverer install? Would it be better to install the SSO and OID before installing any other middle ware products like Forms, Reports, and Discoverer? Then extend the domain to include Forms, Reports, and Discoverer?
    Can you point me to documentation that would help me get this issue worked out?
    Thanks.

  • How to call Report 6i/9i Oracle Standard Report into Discoverer 10g

    Is is possible to Transfer from Report 6i to Discoverer or How to Create this report in Discoverer 10g.
    Please advice,
    Sushant

    Well, if I had to do it, here's how I'd start.
    1. Get the SQL from the Oracle Report and then create a database view that's more generic based on the SQL but still gets the answers.
    For example, you'd not code many conditions, etc. but the database view would be pointing to the correct Oracle Apps tables / views.
    Once you've got the view, bring it in to Disco Admin, etc. and create a report from it that now adds the extra conditions needed. That way you can use the underlying concept without hard coding things like dates, etc. which you would ask the user at run time.
    However ... as you may well know ... Oracle Reports can do some 'strange and/or powerful things' on the fly and, for example, it may be something like a temporary table generated for the report, etc. so may become a much bigger issue.
    2. If you have NoetixViews views then they'll most likely already have the views for these queries already created as they're reasonable for what's needed in an Oracle environment.
    3. I'd see if there is already a pre-defined BIS view that covers this as well. Again, you're in an area that's pretty popular so if a BIS view already covers much of the same info then you've got a create view 'head start' already. Check views owned by Apps starting with the application plus FV or FG (the one you'd really want) such as: GLFG_Budgets_To_Actuals to see what I mean.

  • Portal integration with E-Business and Discoverer 10g

    Hello Everyone,
    We have a R12 integrated with SSO/OID. We also have a standalone Oracle BI Discoverer 10g. We want to implement Oracle Portal here. One of the requirements of this project is to have a common home page for both E-Business Suite login as well Discoverer access. Right now E-Business Suite login is seperate and Discoverer home page is seperate (because it comes from a Standalone installation)
    1) What are the benefits of having AS Portal 10g for end users ?
    2) To begin with, we would like to go with the minimum portlets.
    3) Is it possible to have a common home page for both E-Biz access and the Discoverer acess after Portal integration ?
    4) Do you have some screenshots of how things look after Portal integration
    -Thanks
    Srinivas

    Hi,
    take a look in metalink Note:313418.1. :
    "Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i"
    Look in section 6 - post installation.
    Follow the steps and have a very good luck.

  • Installation of forms reports and oracle application server 10g

    Hi,
    I have been using client server till now, now planning to move to 10g. Got the developer suite 10g.
    Tell me how and where to install forms/reports and Oracle application server... I mean forms reports should be on developer PC then what about application server? should it be on a different dedicated server? or can i have it on database server?
    in case, if I install application server on one server and database is on another server then what about forms and reports?
    please tell me which is the right option?

    please tell me which is the right option?Ideally, you should have two separate server machines.
    One for the database server.
    One for the Application Server.
    The Application Server is basically used for hosting your forms and reports, so you dont have to place the forms and reports on the developer PC or at any other server.
