Can Discoverer Reports Saved on the Database be Copied Across Instances

We are using Discoverer 4i Plus Release - 4.1.48.08.00.
When workbooks are saved to the database, is there a way of copying them across to another instance (rather than having to re-create them)?
Thank you,
Thalita

Yes. From the file menu, select Export. This starts a wizard which will export the entire EUL, BAs, or individual objects. If you just want to move workbooks, choose Individual Objects, then Workbooks from the drop down.
To import, fire up admin, connecting to the other database, select Import from tools menu, and the wizard will walk you through.
A word of caution - if you just export workbooks, they may import without errors into another schema. If the BAs, folder, or items are different between the export schema and the import schema, you will get errors when you try to open the workbooks (you may get errors when you try to import them, too).

Can a report parameter set the Database server name

I know what my databases and tables are named, and that the connection will be an OLE DB connection to Microsoft SQL Server. However, I don't know the names of the servers on which databases will be installed. Would it be possbile to prompt for the server name and have Crystal create the connection based on that?
This is for Crystal Reports Developer XI.

Hi Levin,
We can select database from database expert.
While selecting database you have to find it out on which server your database exist.
I donu2019t think there is any option to prompt for the server name and have Crystal create the connection based on that.

Identifying fields used in all reports held on the database

Is there a way or tool that will allow me to identify all the fields used in all of the reports that we have saved to the database via Discover Desktop / Plus?
This would be handy so we can see what reports would be affected if an item within the End User Layer was changed.
Grateful for any help on this matter.

Hi
It is pretty hard to get a list of what items are in a report that is sitting in the database. However, if you have the gatheirng of statistics enabled, every time a workbook is run Discoverer stores what happened in the table called EUL5_QPP_STATS. If you take a look at the following script it might help:
SELECT
QS.QS_DOC_OWNER USER_NAME,
QS.QS_DOC_NAME WORKBOOK,
QS.QS_DOC_DETAILS WORKSHEET,
TRUNC(QS.QS_CREATED_DATE) DOC_DATE,
(LENGTH(TO_CHAR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID)))+1)/9 ITEMS,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),1, 6)) ITEM1,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),10, 6)) ITEM2,

AND QS.QS_CREATED_DATE > '01-JAN-2007'
Note: change the date above to see what workbooks have been run from a certain date
This script calls some functions that are not part of standard Discoverer. However, Oracle does provide this in case you need them. To install them, you need to run the EUL5.SQL script which you can find on the Admin machine in the folder called $ORACLE_HOME\Discoverer\Util. You need to run this as the owner of the EUL. If you have the EUL5 business area installed then this script will almost certainly have already been run. However, it does not hurt anything if you run it again as the code is 100% reinstallable.

How/Where are Financial Reports Saved on the File System of the Server?

We've recently lost a large chunk of our reports on our server. We can't figure out which directory location to restore in order to get those reports back. Where is the default directory for 11.1.2.2 Financial Reports? And in what format are those reports saved?

The FR reports themselves are found in the Operating System (O/S) file system, but the EPM Workspace heirarchy (folders, tree, etc) are stored in the Hyperion BI+ repository database.
On the O/S file system, the reports are stored in RM1 folder under "C:\oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\ReportingAnalysis\data\RM1\root" folder.
The names of the reports located here are UUID (long identifiers - not the actual names).
For example:
        when a report is created with the name"My report" in the Financial Reporting Studio, when logging into EPM Workspace it will be accessible within Financial Reports/folder name where it was saved.
        the actual report will be stored in a sub-folder of the RM1\root folder on file system.
            The name of the file will be a unique identifier (not the actual name of the report i.e. "My report")
            It will be generated "on the fly" based on various things such as the current date and time on the server (i.e 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)
The meta-data for that report ("My report", that is in the folder in Workspace, the modification date of the report, the permissions on that report, etc.) will be stored in the Hyperion BI+ DB as an object in an encrypted table. Financial Reporting knows what meta-data is in the Hyperion BI+ DB that matches the report, in the "RM1\root" folder because all the rows in the table for this object in the Hyperion BI+ DB that are related to "My report" will be referenced using the UUID of the file (e.g. 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)
Note: The location of RM1 folder differs with each installations' operating system.

Resultset in the same order as saved in the database

Hi Folks!
I'm having some trouble with an old development, because for some really strange reason, the same select statement i'm getting the same records but in different order from time to time randomly.
For example in day 1 i can get:
1 Text1
2 Text2
3 Text3
And in day 2 i can get:
1 Text2
2 Text3
3 Text1
Is there a way to force the select statement so it always get it in the order as saved in the database?
Hope someone can help me with this pretty strange issue.
Thanks.
Regards,
Gilberto Li

Hi Neil,
Your answer makes a lot of sense to me. And I agree that it might won't guarantee that bypassing the buffer will work 100%. However i'm still going to make a try see if it works, and how good it works.
What i'm thinking is that I will need to redesign this old development and insert a new field to a table to add a position so I can order after the select statement.
But if someone still have any other solution i will appreciate your help.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Gilberto Li

How is the 'import-packages' information saved in the database, and how long?

Hello,
I am developping a ECM Connector for Adobe LiveCycle ES, which is a customized component.
1 - Who should I contact to have some specific support ?
There is no detailed information yet on this on the adobe site (http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/w whelp.htm?href=000931.html&accessible=true) .
If you think that I should address my problem to another department of Adobe, please tell me which department?
I give you another description of my problem. In fact, I have been investigating on it.
2 - If I put this in my component.xml file, in step 1:
<component-id>com.rsd.adobe.livecycle.RSDFoldersConnector</component-id>
<version>1.0</version>
<import-packages><package version="1.0">com.rsd.simpleApiFolders</package> </import-packages>
If I change the version to 1.1 and remove the 'import-packages' (in step 2) , will the new component need the com.rsd.simpleApiFolders package. It seems that is still needs it.
3 - How is the 'import-packages' information saved in the database, and how long?
In fact, on thursday, I used 'import-packages' to make a test. And since them, I can not deploy any of my components.
LiveCycle throws a ClassNotFoundException.
ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCRuntimeException: Internal error.

Thank you in advance
Regards.

1 - Who should I contact to have some specific support ?
That would depend on your Adobe support contract and if your organization has a TAM assigned. You should check with your organization's Adobe contact and see what support options your organization has purchased.
Having said that, this forum has a few people that may be able to help (but the forum does not have a SLA associated with it)
2 - If I put this in my component.xml file, in step 1:
<component-id>com.rsd.adobe.livecycle.RSDFoldersConnector</component-id>
<version>1.0</version>
<import-packages><package version="1.0">com.rsd.simpleApiFolders</package> </import-packages>
If I change the version to 1.1 and remove the 'import-packages' (in step 2) , will the new component need the com.rsd.simpleApiFolders package. It seems that is still needs it.If your component class needs the simpleApiFolders class then yes, you still need it. Think of import-packages like a class-path statement (but with packages and not jars). Its not physically moving the package into your application, but allowing you to access it from another container.
3 - How is the 'import-packages' information saved in the database, and how long?
As far as I know they are not imported into the database. As I stated above, I believe that the import-packages just allows you to point to classes that are in the app server's classpath, but are not physically in you component jar file. As long as that class is in the app server class-path (or in the Adobe EAR file) then you should be able to access it. Is the jar file containing the simpleApiFolders class in the app server's lib directory?

Is Content stored in the Rich Text Editor saved to the Database?

Is Content stored in the Rich Text Editor saved to the Database? We are planning a migration from our Dev environment to our QA/Staging environment and would like to migrate our existing content. We were told that content stored in the Rich Text Editor is stored somewhere in the Plumtree database. Is this true? If so, where in the DB (table/field) is it stored?

Some of the content from Publisher is stored in the file system.
Look under: plumtree\ptcs\publishedcontent
there you'll find your preview and published content.

Missing Discoverer reports after migrating the EUL to new Database.

Our Environment is Discoverer Relational- OLTP
We have recently migrated the source database from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.00.0 RAC, this made us to migrate the Discoverer to new database in production.
Below are the database objects we migrated to new database.
1. EUL schema
2. Schemas referred by the Objects in the EUL (schemas containing functions, tables, views etc)
3. Based on trigger we created to filter active discoverer database accounts, migrated only active database users to new database.
Note: we had almost 4000 Discoverer users from 2005, since many of these users moved out of company or not using discoverer permanently, and there are users who used discoverer once in year or once in 6 months.
Finally we come up with 300 Active Discoverer users to be migrated to new database.
Issues: After migration
Some of the migrated users did not get their reports migrated which are shared by other users? [Since we didn’t migrate these users schemas as they are not active].
We have queried the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table in new database for a particular inactive users account (account which is not migrated) is not showing any reports owned by him.
Since we have migrated EUL schema and active users new database, is this will effect the EUL, [Information related to non active users gets deleted from the EUL in New Database]
Some users who are not figured in the active migrated list are requesting to get access to discoverer on new database. Can you please suggest the correct way to migrate these accounts.
Exporting the accounts will work?
Thanks in advance.

Unable to overwrite report saved on the server?

Hi.
Am running into an interesting problem with a SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services instance that I'm running. For reference it's Reporting Services 2012 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 box, but the ReportServer and TempDB's are being hosted on a Windows Server
2008 R2 server running SQL Server 2008 R2.
Basically everything works, as it should - with the exception of saving reports in Report Builder, that already exist on the server (so overwriting them).
So I can open any report, work on it, and save it as a new name and it saves fine. If I then attempt to save that report with the same name as any other report, the ReportBuilder window freezes for 120 seconds before throwing the following error:
Failed to save report 'https://myreportserver......'
An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database.
---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ReportServerStorageException: An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database. --->
System.Exception: For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
The strange thing is, I'm pretty sure it's none of these problems. Neither the Reporting Services or the SQL Server where the databases are kept are having any performance problems of any kind, and there's no unusual load on the servers at the time I attempt
to save the file. I can't find any other error logs on either server to indicate there's an issue. Most interestingly is that whilst waiting for this error to occur I can see on the SQL Server that the database (or at least a number of tables) become locked
and for the entire 120 seconds the report server becomes unusable as every other task ends up queued until the timeout happens.
It doesn't seem to be a permissions problem from what I can see either on Reporting Services, or within the database as I can see that the service account used to access the databases has the correct 'RSExecRole' permission on all the right databases, and
dbo on the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases.
I'm a little stumped. Have Googled (um, sorry, Binged) this problem for hours and can't find a similar problem. Anybody seen this before? Thanks.

Well seems like this was a bug that was fixed in SQL 2012 Service Pack 2! I've just applied it to the system in question, and it works as it should now.
At least this information is up here for others who may encounter it now!

Discoverer Reporting Solution for Multiple Databases

I have to build oracle discoverer reports (single point of access) for four different applications. Each application is having separate databases. So whether i should create separate EULs for each applications (in respective databases) or Should i create a single EUL in any one of the databases and then use db links to connect rermaining databases (for reports from the other applications).
Can u suggest me which method will work good if you see the performace?. I need a dingle point of access for all the discoverer reports.
The worksheets need to be deployed with oracle portal for access of reports in a single click. Is there any way to pre configure the db credentila for each worksheet...?

Hi
My replies below make the assumption that you are not allowed to do any ETL and therefore the data from each database has to be pulled as is. If you do have ETL capability the situation changes dramatically.
In addition to what Sharon has said the cost based optimiizer will have a difficult job rewriting your query efficiently if you use database links, and if you attempt to have queries with some tables from one database and some from another the optimizer will not work at all. I mean. How could it? How could the optimzier in database A know anything about the statistics in databases B, C or D? Wherever the EUL is, that is where the driving optimizer will be so choose wisely obi-wan :-)
For me it's more about user needs than IT needs. If the business has a need to combine data from multiple databases then having a single EUL with database links would be a necessity. However, if they really are disparate systems with nothing in common such as say having Peoplesoft HR in one and E-Busines Suite Inventory in another with perhaps an in-house tracking system in another then I would look at having separate EULs, one in each.
Having one EUL across non-related systems means you have to mix users and roles and can be hard to manage. It actually becomes messy when just two databases are involved never mind four. So even though you might think it is more difficult to maintain 4 EULs, if the objects really are different and you have differing roles and usernames it actually will probably be simpler. They will be simpler to backup, simpler for exporting and importing and it will be faster for Discoverer to maintain workbooks as there will be fewer of them. Plus your system will have access to its local optimzier thereby ensuring the SQL is efficient.
If you are going to use one EUL you need to start out on a sound foundation. This means using libraries to control access too business areas and workbooks. You'll need to adopt some simple naming standards to keep things separate and manageable. I wrote a paper about libraries a few years ago and it is available free of change here on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm. The paper is called Discoverer Libraries - a Concept.

Column value not being saved to the database

I have an app I am developing in HTML DB. I added a column to my database table so I then went and added an item to my form and made the source the database and gave it the column name. However, when I populate this item it will not save the value to the database. It is saving all the other items. We have hit this issue in the past, and if we delete the item and add it again it will work but that is not the case for me this time.
I have compared this 6 way to Sunday to ensure I have it setup like all others. I have no typo in the column name cause I cut and paste from a describe after a few failed attempts at getting this to work.
I am able to get the report screen of this app to display the column.
Anyone come across this and have a workaround? Note, there are no errors, it just won't save the value for some reason.

anonymous - What is the column datatype? I suggest you install the application into your workspace on htmldb.oracle.com (and create the table in your application schema). Let us know the workspace name and application ID so we can take a look. Also, always give the version of the product you are using.
And we'd like to see your first name.

Crystal Reports - Saving and the transport request screen

Good morning BI people,
Has anyone had this annoyance?
You are creating a Crystal report(2008 v12.2.7.598) with connection to sap bi(7.01) and when you save, the transport request screen doesn't come up front of crystal reports, it is created behide the screen. so, you sit and look at the hour glass for 5 mins, move on to other things, and then you realize that the transport screen is behide the crystal reports screen. and, it is not like you can minimize the crystal screen. you have to minimize all your screens and then click on the crystal screen from you tool bar and then, the transport screen comes up.
anyone have a fix for this?
or am i alone....
thx,
Erik

Hi Brad
I'm not sure that Modules would show us anything in this case, so let's try a few other things:
1) Make sure you are using SP 1 for Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio:
Crystal Reports for VS 2005 and VS 2008 Updates & Runtime Downloads
2) Seeing as this works on dev, this may be some db inconsistency so enabling the report option "Verify on 1st Print" will be a good idea.
3) Double check the database client and make sure the same client is used on dev and deployed systems. Actually I take back my Modules negative as this is where it may prove useful. Once you have the Modules logs, look at who is loading the crpe32.dll, then look at that process and see the client dlls.
4) Check the printer driver; see if there are any updates. Try a different printer driver.
Ten subreports is not too bad, though not that good either as you are loading the report engine with at minimum 11 simultaneous reports (each subreport is considered to be a report). If a subreport is in a details section and the details section returns a 100 records, you are running 100 + 1 reports. This may lead to memory issues, which may lead to the error.
If I was a betting man, I'd put most of my money on the printer driver (based on your last addition to your post). What ever money I had left would go to some database issue (be it actual data or client related).
