Oracle Discoverer - Export report as PDF

Using Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.1 with Adobe 7 installed. We do not see an option to export as a PDF file. It was my understanding this should be an option. Is there a way to add PDF as an export option?

Hi,
You cannot export to PDF from Discoverer Desktop, however, you can use Discoverer to print to the Adobe PDF Converter print device which will generate the Discoverer report in PDF format.

Showing Data in Oracle Discoverer Desktop

Dear ALL,
I am facing an issue in development of Relational reports in Oracle Discoverer Desktop.
Following are the details of my warehouse (Data Mart) database:
There are 2 Dimensions and 1 cube in the Data Mart. All the 2 dimensions and Cube are based on tables Currency, Accounts and Fact_Data respectively in our Data Mart.
Fact table contains 2 facts (CLOSING_BALANCE,MAX_BALANCE) and and the values are stored in USD currency.
The fact table contains 100,000 rows with all values/facts in USD currency.
Details of EUL(End User Layer):
I have derived all 2 dimensions and cube from OWB, which generates all the "Business Definitions" and "Business Areas".
Issue:
I need to show the end user a report (from discoverer) which shows all the values/facts in PKR currency.
What is the best way to get this report?
I have tried many methods, including "Creating a Materialized View (MV) on fact table which contains converted values in PKR and then making a view (Union of fact table and MV) which gives me 200,000 rows." But this solution has an issue that i can not join the View with other dimensions in Discoverer because View contains dimension keys (same as fact table) and dimension tables contain Surrogate Ids.
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
Best Regards

Hi,
You cannot schedule and email using Discoverer scheduling. You have to use a third party scheduler and Discoverer Desktop. This article (http://ascbi.com/downloads/Third%20Party%20Documents/Scheduling%20through%20Concurrent%20Manager.pdf) may give you some ideas on how you can use third party scheduling with apps. A bit of extra development will also give you emailing of the scheduled output.

Migrating Oracle Discoverer Workbooks to OBIEE 11g

Hello,
Can you tell me how can we migrate Oracle Discoverer workbooks in to OBIEE 11g , I have heard that there is a tool which is released in last summer for this migration can anyone provide me details on this one.
Thanks a lot.

Hello
I'm afraid Oracle has had no success in converting Discoverer workbooks into OBIEE. It is still on the radar but as yet they have nothing.
For some of my clients this is a huge setback. I have a client who has more than 32,000 Discoverer workbooks and adding more at the rate of about 5,000 a year. Obviously a customer of this size is a potential customer for OBIEE. The only thing they can do right now is to rewrite all of the reports.
To do this would be a mammoth task and I did some mathematics for them. Let's say you can rewrite one report every 15 minutes, allowing for testing and parallel runs. Thus you could convert 4 in an hour or 32 in a full day. Diviiding 32 into 32,000 means they would need to allocate 1,000 man days to the task. Bearing in mind that on average a person works about 220 days in a year and you are looking at around 5 man years, not including potentially 1000s of new Discoverer workbooks that have been created in that time. Needless to say my client is not happy with Oracle and refuse to go down this path sticking with Discoverer.
I know for a fact this company is not alone and I personally implore Oracle to allocate resources to correctly converting Discoverer workbooks. I know part of the problem is that there are things that Discoverer takes in its stride which OBIEE either cannot do or has great difficulty with. Until OBIEE can do everything Discoverer can do I don't see how customers can convert.
Thoughts anyone?

etc. And all Dara in Currency SAR by default.
Now,
There is one another parameter i.e. Currency and i entered the value for currency as INR. and also enter the other parameters
I want that as this currency INR enter,it call that currency conversion function and convert the data in INR.
and when i click the OK button in Parameter wizard I want to see the same data in INR currency.
If the above is possible then please tell my by steps.
if you can share your email id so that i can show you the report, and clear my requirement.
Thanks

Oracle Discoverer Problem - Find Difference of amounts

Hi ,
I need your help / suggestions on how to achieve the following in Oracle Discoverer.
I am having 2 custom tables, using a UNION in the Discoverer query, showing the report as
1. sum of amount column from Table A - always 1 row.
2. sum of amount columns from Table B , but group by a criteria and will be many rows depending on the parameters.
I need to show the difference between the amounts as explained below.
Eg.
1st row: Trial Balance for Jun'06 - 100$
2nd row: For schedule 1 - 10$
3rd row: For Schedule 2 - 30$
4th row: For Schedule 3 - 40$
5th Row: For Schedule 4 - 10$
========================================
Difference - 10$
========================================
How do I achieve this in Discoverer. It seems i can do a minus only between two adjacent cells in a single row.
I want the difference between the 1st row and the (sum of all the rest of the rows).
Please help me to achieve this in Oracle Discoverer.
Version: Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.48 on Oracle 10G database.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran Kesari

as you said you are using UNION to retrieve data from two different tables, you can simply convert amount to negative amount in query like
select sum(amount),'desc' <column-name> from table a
union
select -sum(amount),abc from table b group by abc
after that you need to create grand total on amount column and you will get what you want. only problem is that amount from second table will display as negative. but you can change number format for negative value so probably it will help you..

OBIEE vs Oracle Discoverer

Hi,
Please can anybody let me know the differences between OBIEE and Discoverer. And which is better in what ways?
Please share the information.
Thanks,
Kishore

Refer http://www.rittmanmead.com/files/Oracle%20BI%20Suite%20Enterprise%20Edition%20for%20Discoverer%20Users.pdf
Ofcourse OBIEE is preferred over Oracle Discoverer. You need to look into usage, functionalities, budget and many more areas.

Learning Oracle Discoverer

Hi, I am interested to learn Oracle Discoverer and need your suggestion on:
- Useful links for tutorial of Oracle Discoverer (I had PDF from OTN)
- Which Oracle products that I should download to setup a test environment, other than RDBMS/Oracle instance. (BTW, is Discoverer an old name? I saw it is classified as "archived" product in OTN).
- How far behind is 4i version?
Many many thanks,

Hi Jill
There are various ways of learning about Oracle Discoverer, ranging from self-help tutorials to full-blown instructor-led courses.
INSTRUCTOR LED
You will find instructor-led courses offered by Oracle University for prices around $600 per day. You can find other companies, mine included, that also offers instructor-led courses.
E-LEARNING
My company also offers E-Learning for a very reasonable price. You'll find more details on my [home page|http://ascbi.com]. I don't make a habit of pushing our offerings in the forum and only mention it when a specific question comes up asking about learnning Discoverer. I don't know of any other company offering this type of training. If I did I would let you know.
FREE CONTENT
There is an abundance of free material on the web. You can find an awful lot here in this forum and by just using Google (I do this a lot). I am the author the official Oracle Press book on Discoverer which you can find on Amazon. I also run a [free blog|http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com] and offer free white papers and presentations here on [my downloads page|http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm].
To be honest with you, if you are looking to learn it more than to just dabble then I strongly recommend you take some formal training. It's the fastest way to get up and running.
Best wishes
Michael

Converting PDF CLOBS to text or HTML

I would like to run though all the PDFs (stored as CLOBS) in a database table and copy them to a text or HTML CLOB. Doing this beforehand will should allow me to rapidly index and snippet-ify these fields duirng queries.
How exactly can I use the built-in facilities in Oracle Text to do this?
Roger Ford has had some great input on my snippet performance problems and had this to say:
"The key is to pre-convert before indexing. You can do that with a pl/sql procedure that uses ctxdoc.policy_filter or ctxdoc.ifilter."
The Reference Manual, page B-2, has this to say:
"This technology [AUTO_FILTER] also enables you to convert documents to HTML for document presentation with the CTX_DOC package."

I apologize for posting prematurely....
I should be able to use CTX_DOC.FILTER as Roger suggested.
I think I can just loop through every PDF in the table and dump each converted PDF to the result table. I will set the query id to the key from the PDF table thus allowing me to get at the metadata.
