Deploying Discoverer Reports

Hii
I have created the discoverer reports in a test environment and now need to deploy those reports in production server. Is this possible? or i need to again create those reports in production server?
I have created dimensions and cubes using AWM and reports using Oracle Discoverer Plus OLAP. I have measures and calculated measures in the report. Now all these setups will be made in production environment and then i want to deploy the reports in discoverer plus.
Please help me...
regards,
Aneesh

Hi,
You don't need to rebuild them in the prod.
You need to export the object you changed (BA for ex.) from the develop env and import it in the production.
To do that you need the discoverer administrator tool.
Look in the administrator guide to see the exact steps.
I suggest you move them from develop to another env (such as test) before importing it to the production.

Deploying discoverer reports in Htmldb

Hi,
I want to deploy the discoverer reports in htmldb. Can u plz check if it is possible or not. If possible, plz let me know the detailed steps of the deployment.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramky

Hi Ramky,
I'm not sure what you mean by "deploying Discoverer reports in HTML DB".
However, here are a few notes.
HTML DB and Discoverer are separate but complementary products. HTML DB is used to create and maintain data in a schema. Discoverer is used to extract and print data from the same schema.
If you want your users to log on only once, look at Single Sign On (SSO). Both products work well in the SSO environment.
Hope this helps.

Invoking a Discoverer Report from a web page written in JSP

Hi,
We are using Discoverer 10.1.2 against a relational database. We are not using the OLAP option.
I have a requirement wherein users would like link to a Discoverer Report from a web application which is not deployed in Oracle Portal. So Discoverer portlets are not the solution.
I basically need to be able to provide the Report URL in the JSP page.
Has anybody done this ? Can you please provide some pointers towards how to generate the Discoverer report URL to invoke the report from a JSP ?
Thanks
Manav

Discoverer URL parameters can be found here in the Configuration Guide here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13918_03/urlstart.htm#sthref888
Note, that you cannot pass the password in the URL (security restriction) so you will need to use Public or Private connections and pass the connection ID or use an HTML form to build the URL using the POST method.
Or, you can fill in the desired fields and let the user enter their username/pwd.
Hope that helps get you started.
Regards,
Steve.

How to export a Discoverer report in 4i

Hi,
I have a discoverer report in production PROD .I want to test the report in TEST instance but the report doesn't exist in TEST instance.Now,I want to export that report from PROD and want to deploy that report in TEST instance.
I worked on Discoverer 10g ,when we export it will ask for business areas,folders,Item classes and so on.But in 4i when I am trying to export ,it is prompting a window to save as a file.
Can anyone tell me how to export the reports in 4i.
Appreciate you help !!
Veejay

Hi,
In Discoverer 4i the workbook export is only available from the command line. Therefore you will have to use dis41adm.exe to export the workbooks into a .eex file.

Discoverer Reporting Solution for Multiple Databases

I have to build oracle discoverer reports (single point of access) for four different applications. Each application is having separate databases. So whether i should create separate EULs for each applications (in respective databases) or Should i create a single EUL in any one of the databases and then use db links to connect rermaining databases (for reports from the other applications).
Can u suggest me which method will work good if you see the performace?. I need a dingle point of access for all the discoverer reports.
The worksheets need to be deployed with oracle portal for access of reports in a single click. Is there any way to pre configure the db credentila for each worksheet...?

Hi
My replies below make the assumption that you are not allowed to do any ETL and therefore the data from each database has to be pulled as is. If you do have ETL capability the situation changes dramatically.
In addition to what Sharon has said the cost based optimiizer will have a difficult job rewriting your query efficiently if you use database links, and if you attempt to have queries with some tables from one database and some from another the optimizer will not work at all. I mean. How could it? How could the optimzier in database A know anything about the statistics in databases B, C or D? Wherever the EUL is, that is where the driving optimizer will be so choose wisely obi-wan :-)
For me it's more about user needs than IT needs. If the business has a need to combine data from multiple databases then having a single EUL with database links would be a necessity. However, if they really are disparate systems with nothing in common such as say having Peoplesoft HR in one and E-Busines Suite Inventory in another with perhaps an in-house tracking system in another then I would look at having separate EULs, one in each.
Having one EUL across non-related systems means you have to mix users and roles and can be hard to manage. It actually becomes messy when just two databases are involved never mind four. So even though you might think it is more difficult to maintain 4 EULs, if the objects really are different and you have differing roles and usernames it actually will probably be simpler. They will be simpler to backup, simpler for exporting and importing and it will be faster for Discoverer to maintain workbooks as there will be fewer of them. Plus your system will have access to its local optimzier thereby ensuring the SQL is efficient.
If you are going to use one EUL you need to start out on a sound foundation. This means using libraries to control access too business areas and workbooks. You'll need to adopt some simple naming standards to keep things separate and manageable. I wrote a paper about libraries a few years ago and it is available free of change here on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm. The paper is called Discoverer Libraries - a Concept.

Open Pages from Discoverer Report

Hi,
Is there a way to invoke a webpage or even better, an oracle function (that links to forms or self-service) from a discoverer report row ?
for example, I want a report for employees where the person looking at the report will click on the employee name and is taken straight to the person details page for that employee.
Regards.

Hi,
You can create a link to a form function using fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url. You can create a calculation either in a view or using a calculated item in the EUL (you will have to map the get_run_function_url in the EUL to do this). You then set the content type property of the EUL item to FILE so that when the item is selected in the workbook it appears as a hyperlink.
Most forms in apps except parameters so that you can pass the employee id to the form and the form will open up with the employee record. For example, if you are using a seed HR person form you create a calculation,
fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url(3494      -- PERWSHRG-404
                                     ,800       -- HR
                                     ,fnd_global.RESP_ID     -- caller's responsibility
                                     ,0        -- Business Group
                                     ,         -- Parameters
     'P_PERSON_ID='||TO_CHAR(person_id, 'fm9999999999999')||

Discoverer report not working on R12 !

We have just migrated to R12 from 11i and some of the discoverer query is not working, but the same is working fine when we ran thru SQL Developer or TOAD.
Is there any context (mo_global.set_policy_context) needs to be set in Discoverer report to get the data?
Thanks

Thanks Srini,
There is no any specific error message, the strange thing is if I run the Discoverer report is not returning any data, but if I set the mo_global.set_policy_context ('S',111) in SQL Developer or TOAD and then run the discoverer report it return data...
Any pointers?

i need to have sysdate as parameter in my report. I want data based on the date i provide.
how can i make this as an parameter?

Hi Prashant,
Subqueries are not Supported in Conditions..As of Disco Plus Rel 10.1.2.54.25
A plausible workaround can be:
1. Create a View with foll. Query
create or replace view TEST_VIEW as
select hpah.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER emp_no,hpah.FIRST_NAME,hpah.LAST_NAME,hpah.PERSON_NAME,
--hpah.JOB_NAME,hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME,
hpah.ASSIGNMENT_TYPE,hpah.USER_ASSIGNMENT_STATUS,
SUBSTR(pj.name, 1, instr(pj.name, '.', 1, 2) -1) job_code,
SUBSTR(pj.name, instr(pj.name, '.', 1, 2) + 1) job_title,
(select haou.ATTRIBUTE1 from hr_all_organization_units haou
where haou.ORGANIZATION_ID = hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_ID ) Function,
(select haou.ATTRIBUTE2 from hr_all_organization_units haou
where haou.ORGANIZATION_ID = hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_ID ) org_desc,
SUBSTR(hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME, 1, 6) dept_code,
SUBSTR(hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME, 7, LENGTH(hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME)) dept_title,
hpah.GRADE_NAME,hpah.LOCATION_NAME,hpah.SUPERVISOR_NAME,
hpah.PERSON_START_DATE,hpah.ORIGINAL_DATE_OF_HIRE ,
hpah.SALARY_BASIS,hpah.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID,hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ID,
decode( hpah.SALARY_BASIS, 'ANNUAL', ppp.proposed_salary_n,
'HOURLY', (ppp.proposed_salary_n *2080),
ppp.proposed_salary_n
) salary,
sysdate run_date
from
hrfg_person_assignment_history hpah ,
per_pay_proposals ppp,
per_pay_bases ppb,
per_grades pg,
per_jobs pj
where hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ID = ppp.ASSIGNMENT_ID
and hpah.SALARY_BASIS = ppb.PAY_BASIS
and hpah.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID = ppb.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID
and hpah.GRADE_ID = pg.GRADE_ID(+)
and hpah.JOB_ID = pj.JOB_ID (+)
--and hpah.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER = 100779
order by hpah.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
2. Create another table say TEST_TAB
create table TEST_TAB (emp_no, start_dt) as
SELECT hpah2.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER , MAX(hpah2.PERSON_START_DATE) PERSON_START_DATE
FROM hrfg_person_assignment_history hpah2
GROUP BY hpah2.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
3. Add both of them in Disco Admin and create a join between TEST_VIEW.emp_no and TEST_TAB.emp_no
4. Bring both these Objects in a new report in Disco Plus
5. Create a New Parameter (Base it on PERSON_START_DATE Col of TEST_TAB)
6. Choose Option Create Condition with operator <=
7. Checkmark "Require User to Enter a Value
8. Execute Report
I believe this should work. Either ways let me know if it helps or u get another workaround. (This scenario looks quite interesting)
Thanks,

Discoverer Report Slow

Hi All,
I have a problem wherein some specific users are saying that the report is slow at their end.
The exact issue is...we have Discoverer Report present at the US server. Now we have 2 sites CANADA and US from where this report is run. Both sites refer the same server i.e. the US server.
Canadian users are reporting performance problems with this report, but when I run the report at my end there is no such problem.
Please advice what can be the probable reason for this.
Regards,
Ankur

Hi Ankur
Further to what has been said, if you are running Discoverer Plus across a long time it will take longer to run. Typically the query runs within the database but everything else, formatting, layout, page items and so on is done locally by the Java applet in your local cache. What happens if you run a CANADA report from the US site? Does it run ok? If so, then therein lies the answer. The machines in Canada need to therefore be as powerful as you can make them plus your network needs to be as fast as you can too.
Another way way I have seen this solved is by providing something like a Citrix server in the US for the Canadian customers to log into.
Best wishes
Michael

Discoverer report link

Hi guys,
I have created a link to Discoverer report in applications that works beautifully but there is one downside in it. When we invoike the report to launch in Discoverer Viewer it opens in the same browser window. Does anyone know how to make it open in a new browser window? I have looked into ICX: Discoverer parameters and other profile options but could not find anything pertaining to that. Also looked into Function parameters but seems to be missing it. Help, anybody!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Assuming your initialization matches your discoverer login, it is pretty weird that you get no data.
I am not sure how you got the SQL but i suggest you trace the session to get the exact SQL ran by the discoverer.
You may find another condition or join that limits your data.
Also another thing that you should try is to initial the session by using all the parameters (including the security group as you have in your discoverer login):
begin
fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id =>, resp_id =>, resp_appl_id =>, security_group_id =>);
end

Discoverer report with PO_RELEASES in R12

Hi all,
I'm migrating a Discoverer report from 11i to R12. The query of the folder uses the po_releases and this join condition "and rcv_transactions.po_release_id = po_releases.po_release_id(+)". When I run the report I get the error "invalid number" but when I tried the same query but using the po_releases_all it seems to work. Is this ok? I saw that in R12 po_releases is just a synonym, is this correct? I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks in advance.
Gabriela

Thanks Hussein. Yes, I've checked the document you recomend, but the problem seems to be when I try to use po_releases, the synomy) and I don't know why it work with the _all table but not work with the synonym.

Discoverer Report showing Null VS Show SQL query showing results !!!

I created a simple Cross Tab Discoverer report from a custom SQL which has a calculation for balances. The output is giving all null values even though there are balances. The output doesn't seem right. So I copied the query from Tools-->Show SQL and ran the query in the TOAD where I'm showing balances for the report. I don't understand why it is not showing in the discoverer. Please help.
Thanks
Edited by: PA1B on Jan 27, 2010 11:40 AM

Sorry for late reply.
Below is the Show SQL query. I don't think the query is application dependent. C_1 is my calculation.
SELECT o279709.SEGMENT3 as E279727,

Discoverer report does not sum up the column

Hi All,
I am running the discoverer report from discoverer desktop and was
trying to use the sum function to sum the total amount of the report.
The sum function does not work and it only display Cell
Sum: (blank) with no actual data.
When i checked the report details some columns are calculated based on the columns which i want to sum up.
Any ideas please share with me
Thanks in advance.

b) What is the difference between sum and cell sum? Well, I certainly won't claim to be a Discoverer guru. From what little I have seen, the practical result is not any difference really between the two. SUM of a calculated row is adding up the calculation to the total. Whereas cell sum is like adding up the individual values behind the calculation you see. The distinction makes more sense when you have SUM DISTINCT and CELL SUM DISTINCT being involved. Then you will see a difference in the calculated total. But for SUM and CELL SUM itself, I have not seen any difference between the two, but I am still pretty new to Discoverer.
e) Aggregate field from a folder. Well, this may be one where you have to play around with your own data to understand. Let me try to give you a simple example. Let's say you have a sales table with 100 rows. You have sales data for 5 cities, and each city has 20 rows of sales history. If you pick Sales Dollars Detail and City Name for your workbook and run, you will get 100 rows in your result (complete detail listing). So that is what happens with no aggregation. Now, instead of doing Sales Dollars Detail, you pick Sales Dollars Sum (the same thing as saying SUM(Sales Dollars) in an SQL statement). Run the workbook. You will now get 5 rows of data, instead of 100 rows of data. You will get one row for each city. If you look at the SQL that Discoverer generates, you will see that it has now done a GROUP BY in the SQL statement. Notice I have not said anything about DISTINCT (just trying to keep things simple).
Now, lets say you do a workbook for City, Part Number, and Sales Dollars Sum. Run the workbook. You get a summarized result (say maybe 10 rows of summary data this time). If you look at the Discoverer SQL, the GROUP BY is now by city and part number, automatically doing that because you picked the SUM version of sales dollars.
Now lets say you add Sales Units Detail to the workbook. Discoverer will give you a warning message that you are have both an aggregate and a non-aggregate and that you may end up with unpredictable results. Run the workbook. You will be back to 100 rows, because you specified sales units in detail.
Most of the time I do not want to see detail rows in a workbook. So most of the time I am picking the SUM aggregate for an amount item.
Hope this explains things a bit. Sounds like maybe you need to take the Discoverer Create Queries and Reports class. Would help you understand these things better. Good luck.
