Customizing discoverer viewer worksheets

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.
Like this...

How we will correct this ?

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! ...

Oracle Apps EUL with Custom Discoverer Views

Disco Environment:
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.2)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.54.25)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.54.25

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi

All,
Up until now, we have been placing our Discoverer custom views in our apps schema. From a "keeping track" perspective and from a "keep Disco views separate from apps" perspective, we are inclined to create a custom schema to place all of our custom Discoverer views. I have heard that Noetix does this as well.
To accomplish this, we were planning to provide a grant select to all tables, views and synonyms (with a limited execute rights to some packages).
The easiest thing to do is to keep on doing what we are presently doing. We have a naming schema in place that enables us to quickly identify all custom Disco views.
Can I have people whom have implemented a custom schema for their Disco views in apps let me know how this has worked for them? This type of Disco environment appears to require a lot of communication between the Disco staff and the DBA to make sure these grants are set-up correctly.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi,
All the eBS sites I have worked on have created the majority of their custom views in the APPS schema using a naming convention to separate them from the seeded views. The reason being is that the SQL in the view (including all the function calls) is run with the privileges of the owner of the view. If the view is defined in another schema, then this schema must have access to the APPS database objects which can be a lot of work to set up because it is very hard to identify the dependencies and unnecessarily opens up the security on the APPS schema.
Where the data is held in custom tables and there are views on these custom tables, then both the tables and the views are held in a separate schema.

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.

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.
If you are still struggling with this please log an SR/TAR to get detailed help from Support.

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.

Missing "Worksheets' in Discoverer Viewer

Hi everyone,
I am using Discoverer 10g. I created a workbook with 2 worksheets. When I use my Discoverer Viewer I am able to have the "Worksheets" option that allow me to switch between sheets but when I access it by clicking "analyze" link in the portal, this option is missing.
Has anybody encountered the same issue? Any solutions/ suggestions are most welcome :)
Cheers,
Angeline

In Discoverer 10.1.2, when you analyze a worksheet in Viewer by clicking the 'Analyze' link in Portal, you are confined to that single worksheet. This mode is also known as 'Single Worksheet Viewer' mode.
Usability tests we conducted told us that the ability to navigate out to other worksheets in Viewer when users had come to Viewer from Portal (by clicking the 'Analyze...' link) confused people.
Now, in 10.1.2, when you are in Single Worksheet Viewer mode, the 'Exit' link at the top is replaced by 'Save and Return to Portal' and a 'Cancel and Return to Portal' links. If the worksheet portlet publisher has disallowed saving changes back to Portal, you will see only the second link.
Thanks

My question is related to grouping of workbook names using XSL in Discoverer Viewer. This is a sample xml data file which contains 6 workbooks.

<tr><td>Manufacturing Workbook 2</td></tr>
<tr><td>CEO Workbook 1</td></tr>

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.

Serious issue in discoverer viewer

Dear all,
I have serious issue with discoverer viewer 9.0.2.53 version.
I am in need of displaying lengthy worksheet in discoverer viewer,i am using crosstab format.
my client wants to compare the datapoint value of worksheet with leftside drillup/down and top drill up/down values.
I want the assumption of "display similar to desktop display of worksheet"..is it possible to have same type of format or alternative one by customizing viewer?
Plz help me out of this..if viewer does not support this issue i think..its not best suited for report making..
plz somebody confirm about this issue..its very urgent to proceed further...
regards
chandra

Already checked that. I don't think the problem is color profile related.
Besides, when I reset the viewer as described above the colors look perfectly fine.

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.

Disco Portlet "View Worksheet" link

We are running Discoverer 9.0.2.53 and Portal 9.0.2.3
We have Discoverer portlets that were created using a private connection. When clicking the "View Worksheet" link, users are prompted for the password. Creating a connection in Viewer using the EUL owner connection is a work around but was unacceptable to the developers mainly because the users can delete the connection.
I reviewed 8.4.3 of the 9iAS Discoverer Configuration Guide to start Discoverer without exposing a password in the URL but the "View Worksheet" link in the Discoverer portlet is dynamically generated by worksheet_run.xsl. That style sheet can't be modified. I had opened TAR 3225992.995 trying to get suggestions and the discussion is covered here.
I did some more investigating and if I click on the "View Worksheet" link and add a URL parameter "&pw=password" I can connect with no problem but that would still entail modifying worksheet_run.xsl and I cant hide the URL with Portal. I can hide the URL parameters in viewer if there is a viewer connection.
We are currently logging in as each user that should have access to these 200+ Discoverer portlets as they are added to OID and set up a viewer user defined (Private) connection as a work around even though it is unacceptable to the customer. It is also an administrative nightmare for us.
Any suggestions appreciated, Ron

Hi
I'm not certain with regards to this being configurable in 10g R1. If it is, it will more than likely be done when you set up the portlet initially. Certainly this is the way it is done in 10g R2. I'll dig around and see what I can find. Sorry I can't be more help at this stage.
Best wishes

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 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.
Thanks
