Customization Of Discoverer Viewer

I Want to Modify Viewer_Config.xml to customize Discoverer Viewer.
I am referring Oracle "Configuration Guide For Oracle 9i Application Server"
In the quick Customization Steps it is written that
Change section <look name = "Corporate Look " > according to your preferred Template name
change the various component values to true or false as required.
And paste the changed one before </layout_templates>
But after doing this i did not get changed reflected in the Discoverer Viewer.
I have restarted Http and discoverer 4i services also
Have any of you have modified the Discoverer 4i Viewer
Pls help

Sorry for posting my question here again..
Dear friends..
I need help to customize our discoverer viewer.
We are creating work sheets in arial font size 8.
But, when it's viewing through discoverer viewer it's coming big size.
If we saw the source code by right click, it's taking some scipt where
the font size is mentioned as 8. not 8px.
How I can modify the work sheets in viewer.
Exactly which tag I should modify for this.
And the other thing is the heading section is coming something as
jung.

  • How to do Grouping of Workbooks using XSL in Discoverer Viewer?

    The XSL is generating a List of Workbooks in <table> by using <xsl:for-each select="eul/workbooks/workbook">
    <table>
    <tr><td>Purchasing Workbook 1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Purchasing Workbook 2</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Manufacturing Workbook 1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Manufacturing Workbook 2</td></tr>
    <tr><td>CEO Workbook 1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>CEO Workbook 2</td></tr>
    </table>
    Now my question is:
    1. The client want to see this report in Groups i.e
    <table>
    <tr><th>Group Name: Purchasing</th></tr>
    <tr><td>Purchasing Workbook 1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Purchasing Workbook 2</td></tr>
    </table>
    <table>
    <tr><th>Group Name: Manufacturing</th></tr>
    <tr><td>Manufacturing Workbook 1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Manufacturing Workbook 2</td></tr>
    </table>
    <table>
    <tr><th>Group Name: CEO</th></tr>
    <tr><td>CEO Workbook 1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>CEO Workbook 2</td></tr>
    </table>
    How can I achieve this grouping using XSL ? Has anybody tried customizing the XSL file to achieve grouping of workbooks by name?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Has anyone who reads this, ever done this?
    Just wondering as it sure looks like Disco is becoming pretty slick if this has been done. With the new JAVA interfacing stuff, it does seem to open a new world, but where I'm stuck on understanding this, is that how on earth a Java program can access a Disco worksheet (not just a workbook, but take out the worksheet in a workbook and present it).
    So, with my ignorance, I would have thought this is not possible, but with the moves Disco, etc. is taking, I would just like to know if I'm in the 'dark ages' and this has been done successfully by someone.
    ... keeping up with the new stuff is a full time job! ...

  • Hide a Column in Discoverer Viewer 10.2.1

    Hello Forum,
    I'm doing a little "Show & Tell" this Friday for our end users on Discoverer Viewer.... I'm not the report writer or the end user, so I'm a great guinea pig for how easy is this tool to use and intuitive is it... here is my problem - I want to customize the format, layout whatever you want to call it of a workbook, a simple task like hiding a column seems to be missing? What's the trick, how does an end user who wants to customize their view of the workbook do a simple thing like hide a column?
    thanks
    monalisa

    Hi Mona
    You need to master all of the intricacies of Viewer if you are going to demonstrate it effectively. Viewer is a very, very cool tool with lots of neat features which, in the right hands, is actually much more powerful than it at first appears. I find that the best way to demo it is to focus in on the positives and minimize or not even mention the negatives. Users can usually be blown away by having all of the positives explained before mentioning any of the negatives.
    Now that I have passed on some tips for presenting Viewer, something that I do all of the time, let's address your particular question. :-)
    There are two ways that I know of, and there could be more, to hide a particular column in Viewer.
    The simplest is to move the column to the far right of the report and then tell Viewer to only display n-1 columns, where n = the number of columns in the report. To do this, follow this workflow:
    1. Click the Layout link
    2. Use the Move option to move the column(s) you don't want to display to the right of the last item that you do want to display
    3. Count the number of columns that you want to display
    4. Click the Rows and Columns link
    5. In Columns type in the number of columns that you want to display
    6. Click the Go button
    This second method works for tables and crosstabs that don't use Page Items. Use this workflow:
    1. Click the Layout link
    2. Click the More link
    3. For the column(s) you want to hide, click the Up arrow alongside each one and move it to Page Items
    4. Uncheck the box called Show Page Items
    5. Click the Go button
    I hope this helps
    Regards

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Disable options in Discoverer Viewer

    Hi,
    I have the following questions in Discoverer Viewer.
    1.Save As function should default to user’s “C” drive, not XSR server.
    2.   What about after an end user is finished manipulating the report and exits / goes to a different worksheet – a dialogue page is displayed regarding saving the changes. This needs to be disabled unless you can default the save as to the end users’ pc
    3.Printable page set up needs to be addressed, pages are not formatted to fit reports logically, does not give page numbering/header footer
    4. We need a system-wide change from the standard default settings to some setting that makes sense for our reports – example: landscape vs. portrait; smaller margins, etc.
    5.Export function must bring the following information with the data: report title information, Created on date/time stamp and the Xerox Internal Use Only—Protect until XXXX”. Only brought over the page items titles
    Can some one help in making this happen please...
    Thanks, Prasad

  • Discoverer viewer -- export to pdf doesn't retain page settings.

    Hi,
    The report output in discoverer viewer is much different from that of plus. I am concerned abt the report headers. In discoverer plus, the headers are left, center and right aligned.
    But in viewer, every thing is aligned center. How can I get the report o/p (same as that of plus) in viewer??

  • I cant see the graph in discoverer viewer whith was created in the desktop

    Hi,
         I need your help!! I have a problem to see a graph in Discoverer viewer. I will detail you the steps that I follow;
    It was a difficult calculate report to results by Discoverer so, I create a view in the data base which show 3 field, Periodo(number) which is a union whit other field from other folder, State(varchar), Requirement(number).
    From the discoverer desktop y have a crosstab worksheets and a graph, there I can see it without problem, but in the Discoverer viewer I can see the graph.
    I tried to set the worksheets options in “show options” to show me the graphs too, but this options didn’t appeared there. Somebody know what I should have to do to see it?
    On the other hand I changed the “show null values show” option since null to empty, and when I wanted to save the change this error appeared;
    “Oracle BI Discoverer don’t had to found the necessary values to show the events…”
    Thanks for your help!
    Regards
    Dora

    Hi Dora,
    The graphs that you create using Discoverer Plus will show nicely in Viewer. Everything you develop in Pluys works in Viewer. They are companion products.
    You must realize that Discoverer Plus/Viewer and Desktop are two seperate product sets and they use different techniques for graph creation. There are other differencies between the two that suggests that you need to develop all reports using Discoverer Plus in stead of Discoverer Desktop.
    I have experienced workbook created in Plus being destroyed when opened and saved using Desktop. So for a long time I have simply forgotten all about Desktop. If your company is relying on both Viewer and Dersktop I suggest that the time has come to change strategy and technique.
    If you need sparring please mail to [email protected]
    Good Luck!
    Cheers

  • Discoverer Viewer/Plus does not work with Custom EUL owned by APPS user

    I am facing a unique issue with one of my customers. They have a custom EUL named XX_EUL_US and this does not allow connecting through discoverer viewer or discoverer plus.
    I have worked with custom EULS before at other customers and this was never the case. I am being told that this issue is happening as the EUL owner is APPS instead of some other user. Is this the case? Can discoverer viewer not be used with EULs owned by apps user?
    Please not that the Default EUL in ICX profiles is set to this EUL and no other EUL profiles are set.
    Appreciate any thoughts on this.

    Hi,
    I am not sure what you mean when you say you have a "custom EUL named XX_EUL_US". The EUL table should be created in a schema named XX_EUL_US. This will then be the EUL owner. You will then need to connect to Discoverer Administrator as the EUL owner and grant privileges to Apps users and/or responsibilities.
    The user should then be able to connect to Discoverer Plus/View using their apps username, responsibility and password.
    To be able to connect directly from an apps menu you need to have the ICX parameters set correctly. The ICX: Discoverer Default End User Layer Schema Prefix should be set to XX_EUL (without the _US). The ICX: Discoverer End User Layer Language Override should be set to US or not set at all.

  • Report Layout difference in Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Viewer

    Hi,
    A report was developed in Discoverer Desktop. It is having some 10 columns as data points. The summarized columns for those 10 columns are required. But only 3 columns should be displayed in Detailed Data Points. So we shrinked(brought together) all the unwanted columns keeping 3 datapoints displayed. Now it is working fine in the discovere Desktop. But when we open the same report in the Discoverer Viewer, all the 10 columns are displayed in the Detailed Data Points as well.
    Thanks in Advance

    hi Michael,
    good morning..hope u had a good sleep.
    as per your last thought y'day, even though i create a function for the sum of season values n select those columns into the report, those will not be shown as summarized columns on right hand side of the report. they will be shown as datapoints for every month in that selected season.
    i think the only possible solution for like this report is to hide those unwanted columns. for this we have hidden checkbox option in tools->sort while developing. but this option is available only for tabular reports.
    if u come up with any fresh solution for the fresh day...i am glad.

  • Discoverer Viewer Report with Page Items Slow Performance

    I created a report in Discoverer User that has page items and parameters and runs fine (under 3 minutes) in Discoverer User, but when I try and run it in Discoverer Viewer it takes a long time. It took over 70 minutes before manually terminating it. I made a copy of the report and removed the page items and tried to run it again in Discoverer Viewer and now the report runs in under 3 minutes. Any idea why a report with page items would run in Discoverer user fine, but not discoverer viewer?
    I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)

    As long as you can access the middle-tier server where Discoverer Viewer is running, you should be able to run and view Discoverer worksheets.
    While it is difficult to even start guessing what the problem might be, if the machine you installed Discoverer on has DHCP addressing, you will run into problems.
