Running Discoverer Administrator

I have Oracle 9iAS release 2 (9.0.2.0) installed and the installation type is Business Intelligence and Forms so I have Discoverer installed. The problem I have is that I don't know how to run Discoverer Administrator.
I follow the PDF document instructions and there I read the following:
From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs | Oracle9i Developer Suite - <HOME_NAME> | Discoverer Administrator to display the Connect to Oracle9i Discoverer Administrator dialog.
When I click Windows Start menu and I choose Programs I don't find Oracle9i Developer Suite. I think it's because I have a Discoverer installation missing.
Anyone knows what I have to install?
Thanks.

Hi,
hopefully this might help...
1) create a new database ( i.e. in Enterprise Manager)
2) create a new database user 'eul_owner' and give them a password and default tablespaces (in the new database) in Enterprise Manager.
3) grant the database roles to the new user (as explained in the Discoverer documentation) i.e. connect + resource privileges to create tables , views, procedures etc
4) attempt to logon to the new database user via SQL*Plus - using the new database's connect string.
5) Once you can logon to the new database via the new user 'eul_owner' - logon to this database account using the Discoverer Administration Tool.
6) Proceed and install a new End User Layer (EUL).
7) ... hopefully this will all work...
I understand that you need to create a database account (or have one created for you) to connect via the Discoverer Administration Tool. As far as I am aware - the installation of the Discoverer software does not create one for you.
Hopefully this helps.

Discoverer Administration Problem

Hi Everyone,
I am wondering whether we can change the color/ font of items with in a folder in a Business Area using Discoverer Administrative tool or Is there any way to differentiate the items with in a folder into sub-categories?
Please Help me in this regards.
Thanks..
Venu

Hi Venu
There is no way to use different fonts or colors within the Admin tool. My recommended approach, and one that we teach in training, is to use what we call Item Separators. These are basically items that group other items below them.
Item separators are used to break up and group sets of items together. These help the users to understand about the different data sets that are in our folders. We can also use the Description field of these items to provide more generic help about how to use the folder.
To insert an item separator, use this workflow:
1. Right-click on the name of the folder into which you want to insert an item separator.
2. From the pop-up menu, select New Item - Discoverer opens the New Calculation dialog box.
3. Give the item a Name such as: Main Section
4. In Calculation use NULL.
5. Click OK to complete the calculation.
6. Right-click on the item and rename it like this: **** M a i n S e c t i o n ****
7. Move the item to its correct position.
Note: we use double-spacing between the letters in a word, and triple-spacing between words.
This is a trick from mainframe days when there were no fonts or colors. Using double or triple-spacing fools the eye of the user into thinking that a bigger font has been used. Try it for yourself. You will be amazed at the effect and will wonder why you never did this before.
By the way, a similar technique can be used for grouping folders. A separator folder is really an empty folder that is being used to group sets of folders together. Users cannot select anything from these folders, but that is exactly what we want.
To create a separator folder separator, use the following workflow:
1. Right-click on the name of the business area into which you want to insert a separator folder separator.
2. From the pop-up menu, select New Folder. Discoverer now adds a new folder, called NewFolder1, to the bottom of the list of folders. The identifier for this new folder will also be NEWFOLDER1, all in upper case.
3. Using the Folder Properties dialog box, give the folder a new name and a new identifier. Use something like *** P O M e t r i c s *** for the name and PO_METRICS for the identifier. (make sure the identifier is in uppercase with no spaces
4. Move the separator folder to its new position.
By the way, if you have a copy of my Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook you will find these tips on pages 642 and 645 complete with illustrations.
I hope this helps

Hi,
My question is HOW TO CONNECT ORACLE BI DISCOVERER ADMINISTRATOR 10g. I know how to connect PLUS and VIEWER using a URL. Do i need to install Discoverer Admin. separately on my local machine.
This is very urgent... Please reply.

Discoverer Administrator is a client side tool, you must install it on your machine or even you can install discoverer administrator in your server but you must connect through a connection string which you must enter in your tnsnames

How to search for known folder and business areain Discoverer Administrator

Hi ,
I am new to Discoverer. I am supporting a report developed by someone else. I can see that the report is based on some folder in Discoverer Desktop. I would like to know details behind the folder. I tried logging through Disco Administrator but I could not locate this folder.
Is there any search capability in Discoverer Admin to locate folder of business area?
Trupti

Hi,
Yes, you can go to the administrator "Tools -> Manage folders" (CTRL+M) and search by the second tab ("By Folder").

Export workbooks not sharded with the oracle Discoverer Administrator

Can anyone tell me how to export workbooks which are not shared with the discoverer administrator.
When I use the command line dis4adm.exe /connect userid/password@db /export destination / workbook "workbookname' it toes only funtion for workbooks shared with the discoverer administrator.
Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Marc
The only mechanism to export Discoverer workbooks using the 4.1 Administrator tool is to use the command line.
However, there are severe restrictions on functionality. These are:
- Only the owner of a workbook can export a workbook. Discoverer administrators do not have the power to export end user workbooks, therefore user accounts need to be temporarily granted administration privileges during the process
- There is no mechanism to export “ALL” workbooks for a user account. They have to be named explicitly on the command line
- Workbooks must be exported on a user by user basis because there is no mechanism to export workbooks for multiple users at the same time
Drop me an email because I have a white paper that explains in detail how to export workbooks in 4.1 using the Administrator tool.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Can only Discoverer Administrator create business area for EUL ?

Hi experts
I have a problem. I've got eul.eex from other people, I imported it to discoverer,so I can see the business area , folders and the tables I can connect with.
But right now ,I need to change these table's names which means I can't use eul.eex to finish my business work(also I need to change the name of current business area). Is there any easy way to resuse eul.eex that I don't need to re-create a new *.eex to adjust the modification of table's names?
BTW. I've read Oracle discoverer 10g administrator guide , and it introduced that I can use Discoverer Administrator to create a new business area , so here's my another question , is Discoverer Administrator the only tool to create a new business area and folders ?

I've already solve it , installing Discoverer Administrator and Discoverer Top on my pc

Installed OBIEE Administration tool on 32 bit client, next step ?

Hello all,
I have installed a BI Server on a 64bit server and OBIEE administration tool on a separate 32-bit client as described in the following post :
How To Install Only The OBIEE 11g Administration And Client Tools [ID 1186342.1]
I assume that next step would be to migrate the BI Discoverer EUL to BI Server; but are there any other configuration that I should do first before that ? Should I install an application database in 11g prior to the migration ? My client only wants a demo with an example from the currently existing EUL so I thought I would make this as simple as I could...
Thank you for shedding any light on this!!!
Myriam

Hi,
If you look at the compatibility matrix you can see the Admin tool is only supported up to Windows 7, there is no official support for Windows 8 / 8.1 on the current version (new versions will maybe introduce it).
I also read somewhere the 32bit version works, but I also read it was extremely slow when opening (10-15 minutes) and no guarantee everything works.
In the end the best solution is probably to run it in a VM for now waiting for new releases.

Importing Custom folder in Discoverer Administrator from One Instance to Another Instance

Hi all,
I have created a custom folder XXHR_TEST_FOLDER_OLM in Discoverer Administrator 10.1.2.1 in my test instance. I want to move it to another instance say UAT. First i exported the folder from test instance. File-> Export -> Selected Objects in the End User Layer->Selected Custom folder->Provided Save location and finish. The eex file is created in my local machine. Now I tried to import the same to the UAT instance. File-> Import. It throws me an warning stating
"A folder named 'XXHR_TEST_FOLDER_OLM' was created or modified during the import but is not in a business area". What am i missing here. Kindly let me know.

Pradeep

Vinay,
For deploying pages to Production instance , you need import these pages with help with oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter command. Check old thread in this reference .

How to get the Report Names which use a Folder in Discoverer Administrator?

Hello All,
How could I get which Reports in discoverer Desktop are using a particular folder in Discoverer Administrator?
Or
How to know which Discoverer Desktop Reports are being derived from a folder in Discoverer Administrator?
We have Oracle 9i DS installed and have a Custom Folder Created in the Administrator, and want to know exactly which Reports/Workbooks are using that folder?
Thanks in advance :)

Well Abhijit,
The eul workbooks have been created by oracle specifically to analyze your eul and make your work easier!. So, I prefer this way to view the information about my eul in a report format in the desktop. Try it! you may like it.
If you want you can follow these steps:
Run the script called eul5.sql located in <discoverer_installation_path>\discoverer\util in the user who own the eul in the database.
Then import the eul5.eex file located at <discoverer_installation_path>\discoverer\ in the discoverer administrator.
Then login into desktop and open the reports in the database, you can see a report called[b] EUL Workbook Management. Open that and goto the sheet named Workbook Dependency - Folders & Items Lookup. I think it the last but one worksheet in that workbook.
Hope it helps you!

Problems while trying to open OBI Administration Tool

Hi everybody,
I’m getting an error while trying to open the OBI Administration Tool. I performed properly the installation with the client installer, and then created the ODBC connection to the OBI Server, which is hosted in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64 bits).
The error I’m getting is the next one:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus Client T...
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
This is an error that seems to have appeared previously on the forum, but unfortunately I didn’t find any fixing solution. I found posts speaking about cleaning the boot and reinstalling the Visual C++ running components, but they don’t work (at least in my case).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Hibai.
