Can I share a scheduled workbook?

We have set up scheduled workbooks as the EUL owner, but cannot figure out how the user can access these scheduled reports using their own db id. The user has access to the original report, but does not have the rights to schedule it themselves. Version 10.1.2.1

Hi
If you are using the 10.1.2 Plus version of Discoverer, whether original or patched to 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 then you can do this.
You simply use Tools | Manage Schedules, pick the existing scheduled workbook and then click the Share button. You can choose which user(s) should have access to the report results.

How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?

My wife and I have separate accounts in our MacMini and MacBook. We each have an iPhone. She uses GMail. I use Mac Mail. How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?

It is not advisable to follow the above suggested method. The following will do what you want without complications.
1. On your Mac, go to http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479 and follow the instructions to share a calendar privately. If you have more than one calendar you want to share you will have to do each individually. You can choose whether she is able to edit it or whether it should be read-only.
2. If your wife does not have an iCloud account she will need to obtain one. When you share a calendar and nominate her to access it she will receive and email. All she has to do is to open the email and click 'Join Calendar'. This will add the calendar to her Calendar app on all devices and on icloud.com without affecting any other data. Again, this will have to be done individually if more than one calendar is involved.

Scheduled Workbooks--Share Results to Other Users

Hi there
I have couple of Scheduled Workbooks. I need to share the result of this workbooks to others users.
For Desktop I am using 10.1.2.45.46c, I don't have any option to share the data.
Do I need any patch or other version so I can share the workbook using Desktop
For Discoverer Plus--OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.2)
I was able to share the Scheduled workbook but when I login to other user I can not see the workbook.
Any help Appreciated.
Thanks
ASIM

Hi Asim,
I don't think you can share the results of the scheduled workbook using Desktop. As for Plus, when you're signed on as the other user are you in the same database & eul and are you looking for "scheduled workbooks"?

Deleting the scheduled workbooks that are no longer valid - via script

Hi,
I would like to delete the results of the scheduled workbooks (created by users other than me) with scheduled workbooks status like 'Error while running query" or "Report Expired" or "EUL has changed, reschedule report". From Discoverer Administrator (version: 10.1.2.1) --> Tools --> Manage Scheduled Workbooks --> search by user, I can only delete one scheduled workbook at a time. Is there a way to delete these via a script of some kind?
If any one has a sample script and if you can share here that'd be awesome.
Thanks in advance,
-Esther

Ran into Note:459747.1 from metalink. It has information to identify the scheduled workbook results etc., But according to the note in this note "Note: The tables mentioned here should never be updated or deleted manually."
But the admin tool allows to delete one scheduled workbook result at a time based on the status.
Any information here would be beneficial...
Thanks

Scheduling workbooks in discoverer desktop

I'm trying to figure out how to schedule workbooks to run and export the output to a folder in Discoverer Desktop, I see in many posts that it can be done easily, I just can't figure it out, can anyone help?
I did confirm with my DBA that we do have the DBMS_Job package installed.
When I click on schedule as a user I get the following message:
A workbook cannot be scheduled for the following reason(s) - summary refresh 'job_queue_processes' parameter is 0
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks,
Janet

Hi Janet
You do not need to have DBA privilegs to schedule workbooks and any user should be able to do this. Here is an article from my notes:
Setting up Workbook Scheduling
The workbook scheduling feature in Discoverer uses native features in the Oracle DBMS, and is therefore only available when running against the Oracle database. This feature uses the same highly scalable and reliable processing procedures ithin the kernel, since the summary management capability and the setup for both features is similar. These procedures use standard packages in the DBMS called DBMS_JOB.
To enable the processing procedures for workbook scheduling in Discoverer, follow these steps:
A. Grant Schedule Workbook Privilege to the user.
B. Confirm that DBMS_JOBS has been installed.
C. Specify result set storage.
D. Set the time period at which the process kicks in.
These procedures are described in the following sections:
A. Grant Schedule Workbook Privilege to the User
The user must be granted the Schedule Workbooks privilege in the Privileges dialog. Connect to the Administration Edition, and grant the Schedule Workbooks privilege in Tools->Privileges dialog.
B. Confirming that DBMS_JOBS is Installed
1. Log onto SQL*Plus as the Administrator, and execute the following SQL statement:
SQL> select * from all_objects where object_name='DBMS_JOB' and
object_type = 'PACKAGE';
If the statement returns no rows, use SVRMGRL to create the necessary packages.
2. From Windows XP or NT, select Start->Run.
3. Type in one of the following:
SVRMGRL
4. When in the DBA facility, type CONNECT INTERNAL.
5. Execute the following SQL statement:
SQL> start <ORACLE_HOME>/rdbms/admin/dbmsjob.sql;
SQL> start <ORACLE_HOME>/rdbms/admin/prvtjob.plb;
C. Specifying Result Set Storage
When a scheduled workbook is run, the results are stored in database tables
within the database. Result set data created as part of the workbook
scheduling process may be stored in one of two areas:
the user's own schema or a centralized schema.
User's Schema
In order to enable workbook scheduling in the user's own database schema,
the user requires the following database privileges:
Create Procedure
Create Table
Create View
To grant these privileges, do the following:
1. Log onto SQL*Plus or SQLDBA as the Database Administrator.
2. Type the following:
SQL> Grant CREATE PROCEDURE to <USER>;
SQL> Grant CREATE TABLE to <USER>;
SQL> Grant CREATE VIEW to <USER>;
SQL> Grant EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE to <USER>;
SQL> Grant SELECT on SYS.DBMS_JOB to <USER>;
SQL> Grant EXECUTE on SYS.V$_PARAMETER to <USER>;
where <USER> is the userid of the person who is to be allowed to schedule
workbooks.
These privileges must be granted directly to the user and not to a database
role.
Advantages: A database limit can be specified on the maximum amount of data a
user can store in the database. If the result set is stored under the user's
schema, then you keep control over the maximum amount of space one individual
user can fill with result sets. If the user creates a scheduled workbook that
fills that space, it affects only his/her own scheduled workbook.
Disadvantage: The user is required to have the above privileges in the database.
Repository User's Schema
In order to enable workbook scheduling using a centralized repository user's
schema, the SQL script batchusr.sql must be run in SQL*Plus or SQLDBA as a
database administrator (such as, SYSTEM). This script creates a new user that
is granted the above privileges.
In addition, the administrator of the EUL must change the user so that the
Repository User property is pointing to the repository user's schema just
created. The centralized repository user's schema may be customized by the
database administrator for space management purposes and underlying data access.
NOTE: SELECT ANY TABLE access is given by the script batchusr.sql,
but this may be limited provided the repository user's schema is
granted access to the underlying data that will be accessed for
workbook scheduling.
The repository user created will not be able to directly schedule a workbook
through the User Edition.
Advantages: Each user does not need DML procedures to run scheduled workbooks.
Disadvantages: One user can potentially run a scheduled workbook that fills the
available result set space, preventing other scheduled workbooks from running
until it is cleared.
D. Setting the Start Time for Workbook Processing
The workbook processes run within the database on the server, and are
controlled by parameters in the initialization file of the Oracle DBMS
- the INIT<SID>.ORA file.
To limit the number of processing requests that can run simultaneously:
The parameter job_queue_processes specifies the number of concurrent processes to use to process DBMS_JOB. It controls the number of processing requests that can be handled simultaneously. The default value is zero, which means processing requests will not be created. You should set it to a minimum of 2 or more if you have any other applications that use DBMS_JOB.
You need more than one job queue process, because if one job fails for any reason, it may keep getting re-submitted, and thus, prevent everything else in the queue from being completed. If you want to have 10 simultaneous processing requests handled, then you will need to set this to 10.
The INIT<SID>.ORA parameter job_queue_interval is the time in seconds that controls how often the job processes wake up to process pending jobs. The default is 60, which is quite frequent. What you set this to depends on how frequently you want the process to wake up and serve the requests that have been made. Oracle recommends that you update the 60 seconds default to at least 10 minutes (a value of 600).
NOTE: This parameter also affects summary management.
To enable these parameters:
1. Locate the INIT<SID>.ORA file.
For example, on Personal Oracle7 the INIT<SID>.ORA file is held in
<ORACLE_HOME>\database. Its default name is INITORCL.ORA where ORCL is
the <SID> name.
2. Enter 2 lines into the file. For example:
job_queue_processes = 2
job_queue_interval = 600 (equivalent to 10 minutes)
NOTE: The summary management and workbook scheduling features both use this scheduling capability within the Oracle DBMS. The interval you specify and the number of concurrent requests affect both features.

Scheduled workbooks can be open via DisPlus/Viewer but not in Desktop

When we schedule reports in Discoverer results can be pulled out only via Discoverer Plus/Viewer, when sthe ame scheduled report is opened via Discoverer desktop we get the following massage:
“The results run for this scheduled workbook can no longer be used because the query has changed. Do you want to query the database now for the new results?”
Does anyone know what the issue is here and how it can be resolved?

Hi
When you upgraded your Discoverer to 10.1.2.2 did you also apply the patch to upgrade Desktop and Administration?
You would have needed to get hold of the Windows version of the patch then run the software update pointing at the Desktop version.
Also, I've heard of this happening following an upgrade from version 4 to version 10 and there are various notes on My Oracle Support concerning this. The one I was just looking at is note 419794.1
Another area where this can happen is if the worksheet uses code that would generate a fan trap. Note 389906.1 deals with this.

The Keynote App is not Airplay enabled. However, I expect with Airplay mirroring, after iOS 5 is out this fall, you will then be able to wirelessly connect to an Apple TV connected to you TV.

Can you share a PowerPivot Model within Excel 2013?

Hi,
Can you share a PowerPivot Model within Excel 2013?
Is it essential that you have either SharePoint or Power BI subscription to share a PowerPivot Model created within Excel 2013?
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

I am afraid you need SharePoint at some point for this scenario
what SharePoint basically does it extracts the datamodel, hosts it on an interanl SSAS Tabular Server and redirects users connections that are initially connecting to the workbook to the SSAS Tabular Server
so the model needs to be hosted somewhere - which is SharePoint with SSAS integration in this scenario
SharePoint online does all this automatically for you
an other option would be to host the model directly on a SSAS Tabular Server and let users connect to the SSAS instance instead of the Power Pivot model - Note that you can simply import your Power Pivot Model to SSAS

Schedule workbook using with Unix shell script

Hi,
Can we schedule workbook using with Unix shell script?
Thanks,
Jay

I can't imagine how.
1. You can schedule Disco workbooks via Disco itself.
2. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via batch scheduler in Windows running Disco Desktop directly (or can user VBasic).
3. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via a Java program running the Java Command Line interface.
Moving forward, Oracle has announced that with a further interfacing of Disco with XML Publisher, you'll be able to use Oracle Apps concurrent manager and scheduling. But that's coming supposedly at the end of this year.
And I think that's about it.

Discoverer Viewer and Scheduled workbooks error

Hi
Hope someone can help.
I am scheduling workbooks in Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48 with the intention of viewing them in viewer.
The report shows itself as running okay in Admin, but when I open the report in Viewer or Plus I get errors including:
ORA-03106 Fatal two task communication error
or
"unable to generate sql for this scheduled workbook"
I suspect they might be retrieving fairly large result sets (10 K rows +)
Please can anyone offer advice on how to resolve this?
Many thanks

Hi Tim
Well just the way the file is put together, like is it using SID= or SERVER=, does it use SERVER=DEDICATED, do you have one ADDRESS= or multiple?
To make sure everything is right, rename both TNSNAMES and SQLNET.ORA files, then suse Net Configuration Assistant to set up a connection. Then compare that with what you have already and make the necessary changes.
I also noticed that Russ has made a posting concerning a similar error. You should take a look. Its either in here on the Discoverer forum.

Scheduling workbooks using the command line

Hi, can anyone tell me if it's possible to schedule workbooks in Discoverer using the command line interface? If so, could you point me in the direction of any relevant documentation?
We've got 300+ reports to schedule on a regular basis and it would be useful if we had different options to schedule the workbooks e.g. for batch processing.
Thanks and regards

Inspired by your MacOS fix, I went looking to see if their was an easier Windows fix than my 'Repair Bonjour' process. Turns out there might be.
In the Bonjour 'Program Files' folder, there is an application named 'mDNSResponder.exe' which brings up a DOS dialog. After running this application and then opening iTunes, I had a stable AppleTV-iTunes connection through the evening until I put my computer to sleep.
I haven't done any thorough testing around this (the kind that Apple should have done before releasing iTunes 7.6), but it does seem to at least temporarily resolve the issue until iTunes is closed again. What would be nice is if this works without having to restart a faulty iTunes session (which the 'Repair' fix doesn't).
