Hi Joanne
Well typically one only links Viewer from within E-Business Suite.
However, if you're able to set up a button that has a URL link you should be able to connect to Plus. The issue would be whether the user's connection information could be passed this way and, to be totally frank, I have a suspicion that this is not possible. I have a nasty feeling that the user would need to re-authenticate to Plus.
Viewer is different and it is possible to automatically pass the logged in user's authentication details.
There are some talented folks in this forum who use E-Business Suite a lot more than I do and if I have made a mistake I know I will be corrected.
Best wishes
Michael

Error while migrating discoverer Workbook

Hi All,
I am migrating Business Area and Work book from one instance(QA) to another(Production) DB instance.
I have successfully did export of business area and import in production instance.
For workbook migration I have followed the below mentioned steps.
1) Open QA instance and open the required workbook.
2) Do "Save As" of the workbook to local machine as ".DIS".
3)Then Login to Prodcution Open the workbook from the local machine. But in that case it gives following error
" Cannot join tables.Item dependency "" not found in EUL. "
"Attempt to open workbook failed" Anyone can help me to solve this issue. Please.
Thanks

Hi Janet
Here are some more notes from my private collection of tips and tricks:
Discoverer workbooks are very picky when it comes to opening up against an end user layer. Basically, here is what happens:
All EUL objects have an ID number and a name. When Discoverer saves a workbook it saves both the ID number and the name of every essential object (business area, folders, items and joins) that is used within the workbook. The next time Discoverer opens the workbook it looks at the ID numbers of the objects and tries to find them in the EUL. If it cannot find an object by its ID number it tries to locate it using the object's name. If an object cannot be located either by its ID number or by its name you will get the dreaded Item Dependency error.
OK, having got that out of the way, if you delete a folder from within the EUL and re-create it you will lose the ID number of the folder and all of its associated objects (items and joins). The only way Discoverer will be able to open this workbook now is if everything within the folder is named EXACTLY the same way (including underscores and casing of the name), otherwise the workbook will not open. Discoverer will report the error message that you are seeing.
So what can you do? Well, you need to have some way of finding out what the old folder name(s), item names and join names were. Also, you need to make sure that all items that were not hidden are not hidden now. There is no need to worry about the names of hierarchies or lists of values. These are not stored within a workbook and are only hooked in at runtime.
Seems like you have to somehow painstakingly determine what all of the item and join names were in your old folder(s) and re-create them 100% the same way in the new folder(s). By the way, when the workbook gives you the error message does it also give you an opportunity to assign al alternative item to the item that it can no longer find a value for? This may work but, in my experience, usually doesn't!! It only works if the missing dependency is an item, it won't work if the error is being caused because you have got a join name wrong. Unfortunately, joins MUST have the same name exactly otherwise there is just no way to open the workbook.

How to register the Discoverer workbook in Oracle Apps 12i

I am trying to access a workbook form the Apps side. I did all the things which I got from metalink except the last step 6. I reloginned and check but it is giving the error like
"The webpage cannot be found ".
Please assisst me.
1. Create the workbook.
2. Open the workbook in the Discoverer Desktop or Plus edition and go to
'File->Manage Workbooks->Properties' look for the value for 'Identifier'. Save this value.
3. Create a form function. Open the Function form and create a new function.
Define the Form Function.
The form function definition includes the properties listed in these tabs:
3.1 Description tab:
3.1.1 Function Name: BIS_[X] (use something to distinguish it from seeded functions)
3.1.2 User Function Name: This is the name that will show in the menu
3.1.3 Description: Add a description of the function if you want.
3.2 Properties tab:
3.2.1 Type: Select "SSWA plsql function"
3.2.2 Maintenance Mode Support: Leave as "None"

3.3.2 Application: Leave the field blank.
3.3.3 Parameters: workbook=<(workbook identifier from step2) &PARAMETERS=sheetid~worksheet id*param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value*param_parameter name Two~Parameter Two Value*
Eg; 'workbook=TEST_WORKBOOK&PARAMETERS=sheetid~1*' would open sheet 1 of the workbook.
# According to the Applications Administration Edition the workbook name will also work here.
See Expanation section below for more information on setting up parameters and changes fro Discoverer Viewer.
3.4 Web HTML tab:
3.4.1 HTML call : Set as OracleOasis.RunDiscoverer
3.5 Web Host tab:
3.5.1 Leave all fields blank.
3.6 Region tab:
3.6.1 Leave all fields blank.
3.7 Save the form.
4. Open the menu form as sysadmin.
4.1 Search for the main menu under which you want the link to appear.
4.2 Add the information you need such as prompt, submenu, description etc.
4.3 Enter into the Function field the name of the function you created in step 3.
4.4 Save the menu form.
A message will appear saying that a concurrent program will run to regenerate the menus.
You can cancel it if you want and do step 5 below if the menu does not appear after the concurrent program runs.
5. Use adadmin and recompile the menu information to make the changes appear.
6. Bounce Apache and Forms.
Thanks,

Hi Hussein,
Very much thanks to you Hussein. I gone through the doc 471303.1 and came to know that the options and values which we have to take for Launching Discoverer Report from 11i & 12i is differenet. Ohh great its working and I have a question when I am selecting the Discoverer Report function from the Apps the follwoing error is coming.
A connection error.
- Oracle BI Discoverer is unable to complete the connection initialization.
- Default or specified schema containing EUL tables is inaccessible and asking for the log in details.
Can't we go directly to the Discoverer Viewer where we can see the Worksheets without coming through the login page.
Once again thank you Hussein.
ABR.

Accessing discoverer via url.

Accessing Discoverer via URL.
Hi,
I'm having a problem with the following....
I am trying to setup a scheduler for generating discoverer reports, without using the discoverer scheduler. I want to be able to easily print them off in a particular location.
This is fine for normal reports with simple url's but complicated url's are causing me a problem. I have created a java program which will build the url string from some set parameters using the URL class.
Parameters include Responsibility, user name, password, workbook and the workbooks parameters.
The problem is that discoverer will not allow the request asking the user to reenter his password. Even when a site check indicates that the url is exactly correct.
I have even taken the generated url and cut and pasted it into the browser without success. I don't think it is a java issue but maybe how the system is setup.
Any help would be useful!

Hi
You cannot embed the password on the java command line. This was determined to be a security breach because the password would have been in plain view. In order to make a URL work you need to be working with the full application server and be using either private or public connections, ideally with SSO enabled.
All you do is run the report as usual from within Viewer when connected as the user you want to be connected as. You can then copy the URL from the address bar at the top of your browser and paste this into a new browser. If a public connection is being used without SSO the report will execute. If SSO is enabled then SSO authentication is required. If a private connection is being used without SSO then the password will be prompted, whereas if a private connection is being used and you are using SSO then the password will be remembered by SSO and supplied for the user.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Problem with Discoverer Workbook in Purchasing Intelligence menu

Hello
We have implemented out-of-the-box Purchasing Intelligence (PI) that comes with the Oracle e-Business Suite. There is only one Discoverer Workbook - 'Contract Savings Analysis' workbook which cannot be accessed from the Applications.
This workbook works fine in standalone mode from Discoverer Plus or Desktop. However, whenever trying to access this workbook from the Applications PI menu, Discoverer is launched but the browser hangs with the message 'Loading workbook'.
We checked the following:
1. Menu
2. Sub-menu
3. Function
4. Parameter (correctly set to workbook = POASVNGS)
This is not one of the EDW Discoverer Workbooks but the single PI Discoverer Workbook.
I was wondering if anybody in this forum has faced this issue before? Your suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The note provided by Luis will fix the issue.
Excel 2000 seems not supported for a long time.
As suggestion to avoid new issues, (specially performance issue), update the SAPGUI and BI Addons to latest version.
Thanks

This configuration is weird little bit. There is MatchExpression /app1 and MatchExpression /app2 and at the same time two <Location /weblogic> sections. Are you sure you understand what that configuration stands for?
Try something like this ...

where /app1 and /app2 are contexts of your weblogic applications.

Can Oracle Access Manager (OAM) be used for configuring data-level access?

Hi,
Can OAM 10gR3 or 11g be used for configuring data-level access in PS 9.10 and OBI 11g.
This would mean that data-level configuration are stored centrally within OAM database and PS 9.10 pulls these settings for its appropriate Row and ChartField security and OBI 11g queries OAM database tables to populate the initialization blocks during login.
If you have configured this successfuly, please feel free to provide highlevel details/steps about the configuration and any complexities that can pre present.
Thanks.

I recently worked on an interesting implementation that utilized OAM configured against OID in which OAM was configured to control authentication/authorization and then all applications that were serviced by OAM utilized the users login to pass to the database at which point the Oracle database utilized VPD, which was configured against the same OID instance, to leverage user attributes/groups in order to configure fine-grained access control to data within the database. Not sure if this would work for you unless your requirements are similar but it worked very well for this particular implementation as it allowed them to have SSO for their own apps and for BI Publisher which then could pass allong the userid to be leveraged by the database to do fine grained access control.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

After iPhoto upgrade i can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive, after iPhoto upgrade i can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive

I was just about to order a photo book, using photos stored on an external hard drive. I organised the book and pressed 'buy'. IPhotos instructed me that I needed to upgrade and so I went on the ASpp store, bought the upgrade and installed as directed. I then used the iPhoto Library upgrader as directed.
After the iPhoto upgrade I can no longer access the photos stored on my external hard drive. I am able to access the photos stored on my internal hard drive - the remainder (including the photo album) seem to have vanished into thin air.
Any suggestions please?

What format is the external drive?

Mail sender adapter POP server not configured for URL access

Hi Experts,
I have a Mail --> PI --> R/3 scenario and I am configuring the Mail sender adapter for POP3. The issue is that the POP server is not configured to be accessed via a URL and hence the URL pop://hostname/ is causing the following error at runtime:
_1. When I use pop://Fully qualified host name/
_Error: exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.UnknownHostException
_2. When I use pop://IP address of host/
_Error: exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address
I am able to ping the POP3 server from the PI server using both the FQDN and IP address.
Can someone please help.
Thanks,
Shobhit

Hi Shobhit
Check with these notes:

xi 3.0 mail adapter with pop3 user authentication problem
810238
XI 3.0 Mail Adapter for POP3 may not report some errors
also check mailserver security settings ...
Connection refused occures when XI cannot connect
in most cases so try checking it again , maybe some ports are not opend on the firewall
