Configuring discoverer viewer

Hi,
I'm trying to customize the layout of discoverer viewer (10g) in OEM. Specifically, I'm trying to remove the 'send as email' option. I go to the customization tab, and select 'layout', then go to the action links, and uncheck 'send as email'. However nothing changes when I select preview or apply. the change will not take affect. Am I missing something?
thanks in advance,
Rae

Configuring Discovere Viewer

I need to open a custom report instead of using the "Analyze..." link of the report I put in my portal page.
I create a hidden link like this:
http://<server>:7780/discoverer/viewer?userName=<name>&password=<pwd>&databaseIdentifier=<connStr>&connectionLocale=browser_selected&connectionType=PRIV&autoconnect=yes&connectionAccessType=OLAP&wbk=<workbookname>&wsk=<worksheetname>
and it works.
There is a little and significant difference between this version and the "Analyze..." version: there are many links I don't want to see, like "Exit", "Help", the Worksheet list and so on.
Is there a possibility to configure the visualization of this page???
Thanks

Hi there,
It’s possible to remove the items you want and change the way Viewer looks.
There is two ways to go about this:
Firstly you could apply a change directly to the presentation file on the Server, which will change the look of Viewer no matter what workbook is opened, or
Secondly you could create a custom Presentation Template and use it in the URL to point it to your custom template.
All these things are done differently depending on what version of Discoverer you’re on. Have a look here for more documentation and Configuration Guides for Discoverer: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/discoverer.html or
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B10273_01/customiz.htm#1014029
This should give you a good place to start.

Carriage Returns in Discoverer Viewer 10

Hi,
I have a Discoverer 10g report based on a view, within the view one of the fields is defined as:
, pvs.address_line1||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.address_line2||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.address_line3||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.city||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.state||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.zip||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
…this returns multiple values in a single fields with carriage returns after each line, IE:
NASH HOUSE
OLD OAK LANE
LONDON
NW10 6DH
This works fine within the database and also in Discoverer 10 Plus, however in Discoverer 10 Viewer the same record is displayed as:
NASH HOUSE OLD OAK LANE LONDON NW10 6DH
Is it possible to ‘configure’ Discoverer Viewer to display carriage returns?
Regards
Carl

Hello Marias,
To disable the warning message, Connect to the Admin Edition and navigate to Tools -> privilege -> click Select button and provide the username and hit GO button.
Now in the "Desktop and plus privileges" section uncheck the option "Save workbooks to Database" and apply it.
This will remove the privilege only to that particular user. To remove this privilege from all the users, select the public role and revoke the privilege.
Hope this helps,
Gianluca

Discoverer Viewer Configuration File

Hi,
There is a scenario where in, most of the users use Discoverer viewer reports from the same login ID, They do changes and save the Workbook. Now when a new user logins he see the changes saved by the previous user . Now we dont want to allow the users to save changes and want to change the config setting so that no user can do any changes.
As per my unerstanding, one way of doing so it by login to application server and Uncheck the preference check box and save the changes. Doing this the preference tab will not be visible to any user.
Want to know is there any other way by which preference tab can be Disabled but still can be seen on the right corner of the viewer page?
Or is there a way we can change the configuration setting in any of the config file of discoverer viewer so that users are not able to change the setting...
Discoverer version is 10g.
Thank You.
Regards,
Anuj Malhotra

Hi Michael,
The Scenario is like, most of the users use Viewer only to access reports.
The main aim right now is to some how not allow users to change the settings whcih they change using the preference tab or presentation options.
I checked it the config document of Discoverer viewer and found:
The Steps to remove Preference tab or presentation options in Oracle Application Server Discoverer Configuration Guide
10g (9.0.4) are as follows:
1. Open the ui_config.xml file in a text editor or XML editor
2. Locate the <appearance> tag in the file
change the value of the display_preferences_link tag to false
change the value of the display_presentation_options_link tag to false
3. Save the ui_config.file
But I didnt not find the steps to remove the preference tab or presentation option using Configuration.xml file in Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Configuration Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1 ).
It was mentioned that to remove the presentation option in 10g version we need to login to Oracle Application server and uncheck the preference tab Option.
Want to know is that the only way of removing presentation options or preference tab from 10g Version or something can be done from configuration.xml file also.

Anuj Malhotra.

Error of access denied opening a workbook in discoverer viewer 10.1.2

When I open a workbook in discoverere viewer in the html page shows this message:
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer no ha encontrado los datos necesarios para mostrar los resultados de este evento. Corrija los errores y vuelva a intentarlo.
- access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission oracle.discoverer.connections)
However data seems correct, but I don't know how to delete this message.
Thanks,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Metalink has some information regarding what sounds like a solution to your problem under Doc Id : 265228.1. Have a read and let us know if this is for you and whether you get it working in a development environment.
Symptoms
Discoverer 10g (9.0.4) Plus and Viewer throws 'page cannot be displayed'
Other symptoms
A.) Discoverer Plus shows a file download dialog with virus warning "Some files can harm your computer. If the file information below looks suspicious, or you do not fully trust the source,do not open or save the file."
Opening or cancelling will again throw "page cannot be displayed"
B.) Plus throws a blank page and Viewer throws 500 internal server error
Cause
Installation failure on configuring discoverer in OC4J_BI_Forms may caused the problem.
Using pre-production / beta code (M16b shiphome) will cause the problem.
Fix
1.) Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME(midtier)/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/config/java2.policy
2.) Add the below lines at the end of the file
================================
grant codebase "file:${oracle.home}/discoverer/lib/discoverer5.jar" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "oracle.discoverer.connections";
grant codebase "file:${oracle.home}/j2ee/home/-" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "oracle.discoverer.connections";
grant codebase "file:${oracle.home}/portal/jlib/pdkjava.jar" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "oracle.discoverer.connections";
grant codebase "file:${oracle.home}/portal/jlib/ptlshare.jar" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "oracle.discoverer.connections";
===========================
3.) Restart OPMN.
4.) Invoke Discoverer Plus or Viewer.
Let us know how you get on.

We are creating work sheets in arial font size 8.
But, when it's viewing through discoverer viewer it's coming big size.

And the other thing is the heading section is coming something as

Accessing discoverer viewer over internet

URL's host name is changed when i am clicking to expand report link for work sheet selection. I have installed Oracle 10g AS and discoverer and trying to access work sheets over internet using discoverer viewer.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your response. I did not changed fully qualified domain name. I am trying to access the discoverer viewer from outside of our LAN through internet. I have configured firewall to allow HTTP trafic to exposed server and mapped public IP and port to local discoverer server (port forwarding) to route discoverer viewer requests to discoverer server. Discover server is in our local domain with local IP address. I am able to view the viewer login and Worksheet list page with public IP in discoverer URL. When i am clicking to expand worksheet in worksheet list page, viewer changes the IP address part of URL to local host name. This local host name is not resolved outside and IE shows the 'Page Not Found' error. Pl suggest the way to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Sambhaji Ghorpade

Discoverer Viewer in mobile devices

Hi,
Is is possible to be shown Oracle Discoverer Viewer contents in mobile devices like iPad or iPhone?

Hi,
I haven't tried this but I don't see why not. Disco Viewer is just HTML pages and if you need to you can configure the look and feel of the pages specifically for mobile devices by changing the UIX files.

Export option in discoverer viewer

Hi All,
I am using oracle 9ias discoverer and i need to remove export option from discoverer viewer page.
I made changes in ui_config.xsl and also unchecked the export data option from preferences page, but it is not reflected in my workbook. when i click on the export data link, a new page is displayed with a combo to select export format and when i click on apply button it forwards to connection page.
Can anyone please tell me why it is happening like this and how to resolve it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Mukesh Harjai

I assume you are following the directions in Chapter 10 - "Customizing Discoverer Viewer" of the Oracle9iAS Discoverer Configuration Guide.
You should be able to remove the Export link.

Discoverer Viewer & Scheduled Workbooks

Is it possible to run a scheduled a workbook and view the results in Discoverer Viewer?

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.
Best wishes

Error trying to open Discoverer Viewer/Plus

HI,
The following error occurred: "OracleBI Discoverer has not been started or has been stopped. Discoverer was stopped by your Administrator."
Has anyone had the same problem? We are currently on version 10.1.2.54.25 of Discoverer and 10.1.2.2 of AS (Win2000 server). I did find a document (Bug.4457706) on MetaLink for an earlier version and I verified that start = true in the configuration.xml file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I also noticed that a java.exe process was consuming 100% of the CPU on the server during the same time. Tho, it may be totally unrelated to the Discoverer problem. I have examined most of the log files and can not find anything of relevance yet.
I checked opmnctl status at the time of the problem and everything was up.
Thanks
Diane

Hi,
Contact the Administrator of Oracle Application Server. He has the possibility ton stop Discoverer Viewer and Plus

Customizing Discoverer Viewer

According to chapter 10 in "Oracle Discoverer Configuration Guide (version 9.0.2)" you can customize Discoverer Viewer in mainly to ways:
1. By editing blaf.css.
2. By editing ui_config.xml
In ui_config.xml you can create presentation templates which can be selected in Viewer via "Presentation Options".
How can we make one of the templates the default template for our Discoverer sessions? We want the users to meet a standardized user interface when opening workbooks from a Portal list of workbooks portlet.

I'm having a similar problem, only the default logo never
changes to the one I've specified. I'm looking for a way to turn
OFF the default completely without having to maually changing
the disco_logo.gif file or any of the other gif's. I'm disgusted
by the "customizable" nature of this product.

Absolute URLs in Discoverer viewer

I'd like to put a front end-proxy in front of discoverer viewer so that a request went e.g.,
Web PC -----> Proxy, port 80 ----> Discoverer port 7782
I can get the request in just fine, the problem is that within the pages returned by discoverer it hard-codes URLs with port 7782 in them so if the user clicks a link then it goes to the wrong place.
Is it possible to serve discovered out of port 7782, but have either relative URLs or set the served URL to port 80?
Cheers,
Dave.

Seems like all HTML generated by Discoverer Viewer (in 9iAS 10222) is based on XML file $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/htdocs/disco4iv/html/viewer_config.xml. About halfway down is a <configuration> tag with an attribute that lets you change the base href for generated pages. Maybe this will help.
