Disc4i Plus & Viewer v.4.1.37 EUL compatibility

I have downloaded oracle9iAS Discoverer plus and viewer version 4.1.37. The release notes says that this version will only connect to an EUL that is created or upgraded using Discoverer Administration edition 4.1.36 or 4.1.37.
My questions are:
1)Will this version be available for download, and when?
2)or can I get it in another way?
Thanks

We had the same problem. There is a patch available on oracle metalink that will upgrade disco admin edition (to version 4.1.36), which will then update your EUL.
Here is how you get it:
-go to: "metalink.oracle.com"
-click: "patches"
-click: "Click here for Patches released..."
-select product: "Discoverer admin..."
-select platform: "MS Windows NT/2000..."
and there it is...
here is the patch info:
ID:657540 Patchset::1750539
Discoverer 4.1 Admin and Desktop Edition Patch version 4.1.36 for MS Windows NT

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.

Upgrade Oracle 9iAS Discoverer Plus & Viewer

I need to upgrade Oracle Discoverer Administrator & Desktop edition to release 4.1.45.08.00.
This release also upgrades the EUL version. I connect to the EUL throught the Oracle 9iAS release 1.0.2.2.1.
I need to know what patch I must apply to the Discoverer Plus & Viewer.
Thanks a lot and sorry about my english.

Hi,
Check that the ICX system profiles are set correctly for your Discoverer configuration. In particular the ICX: Discoverer Launcher and ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher system profiles.
When IE displays an error is the URL displayed in the browser a correct Disco URL?

HELP: Synchronization between Disc Plus/Viewer/Admin/Client

Can anyone explain this to me: changes in end user layers in admin edition and reports in desktop edition aren't showing up in disc plus and viewer (using the same schema). I've even deleted business areas that are still showing up in disc plus!!

This could be a problem with diferent versions of discoverer. You can check the version of discoverer and the version of the EUL that it's using innthe help menu. For Example Discoverer 3.1 EUL it's Diferent from Disco 4 EUL and so on.
Hope this Helps. I think you're right. On the server I'm running 4.1.3.7, but on my desktop I installed the latest and greatest that came with the 9i Dev Suite release 2 and had to upgrade the EUL when I ran the admin edition. Do you know if Discoverer Plus/Viewer are compatible with 9i Dev Suite discoverer edition? If so, is there any configuration that needs to be done to have it synch with this latest discoverer release?
Thanks.

Report 2 returning data from previously ran report 1 - Plus/Viewer

Hello,
We have an issue running through discoverer viewer and plus.
If you run the first report with a parameter for the year with this returns the correct data. However if you run report after the first with year 09-10, the 08-09 data is returned again from the previous report
It doesn't matter which order you run them i.e. if you run the 09-10 first and then the 08-09 the 09-10 data is returned.
The reports work fine when run in Discoverer Desktop.
When 2nd report is run after first it returns the data that appears in the first. This Does not happen on Disco Desktop. The SQL from the reports also runs correctly in TOAD.
Metalink notes suggest turning of the Webcache but this is not turned on in either apps tiers
I have also recreated both reports and this has not made a difference either.
Regards
Rachael

Hi,
Even with webcache turned off Discoverer holds the results of the last run from plus/viewer in the application server and will return these results unless an explicit refresh is entered. Normally, if different parameters are entered this is recognised and the report is re-run. I don't know how you are running your report but for some reason it is not recognising the new parameters and returning the last result set. A refresh should return the correct results.

How to display binary file saved in BLOB column in Discoverer PLUS /VIEWER

HI, Friends,
I tried to display the binary file saved in the database in BLOB column with the *.doc or *.xls fomats, but it seemed not work at all. I can display them in discoverer DESKTOP, but not the web version PLUS or VIEWER. MY Discoverer PLUS/VIEWER version is 9.0.4.45.02 and the database is 9.2.0.4. Are there any special setting/configuration in somewhere (Discoverer administration/Applicaiton server/PLUS/VIEWER?)
Any help /information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Sorry but this feature is not available in the web version of 9.0.4.45. You will have to write your own mod_plsql function to download the file.

Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications errors.

Starting Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications R12 errors.
Here is some general config information that is suspected to be the issue.
1. Running Oracle Applications R12 over HTTPS.
2. Running Discoverer Plus/Viewer over HTTP.
3. Calling menu item that calls a function to start Plus/Viewer.
Function Definition called by the menu item is listed blow.
Properties Tab: Type=SSWA jsp function Context Dependence=Responsibility
Form Tab: Parameters="mode=DISCO"
Web HTML Tab: HTML Call=OracleOasis.jsp
Fact: Starting Discoverer Plus using a URL works fine in the browser. The login page comes up and I can look in to Plus.
The page that dose a redirection to start the Plus applet or Viewer web page fails with this error in IE 7.
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
Thank you for your time.

Login form of Discoverer 10g Plus/Viewer

Hi all,
can you tell me if there is a way to get the login form of Discoverer 10g Plus/Viewer to remember the last login credentials (except password) like the Desktop version do? Have I missed a setting in preferences file or AS Control?
OK I can create an own HTML page which looks exactly the same as the login page and saves the values in a cookie but time is money and I think this feature should be solved by Oracle itself.
Thanks in advance,
Uwe

Difference between Discover Desktop, Plus, Viewer

What is the Difference between Discover Desktop, Plus, Viewer,
i think these are all for Business User only,,,,and Discoverer Administrator is not for Business user..
Suresh

Hi Suresh
You're right, up to a point.
Administrator is certainly not a user tool, whereas Plus and Viewer and certainly not used by admistrators. However, because one Desktop license comes with every Administrator license, Desktop is not only used by end users. It can be used for administrators for testing out new functionality that has been added. Administrators do this rather than having to log into Plus to test out a new business area.
Desktop has far less functionality than Plus, although both are report creation tools, whereas Viewer is what it says it is - a report viewing tool.
A few months ago Russ Proudman, once of the main answerer of questions in the forums, went though an exercise with the members of the forum identifying the differences between the tools. You'll find the results on Russ' website here: http://www.proudman.homestead.com/files/disco_diffs.html

Export to EXCEL 4m Discoverer Plus/Viewer doesnt retain Header Formatting ?

Hi,
I am trying to export reports from Discoverer Plus and Viewer to XCEL
but the Header's Formatting like Bold and Background Color etc are
not being exported as seen in Plus.
Could you please advice on how to make this happen.
Thanks,
VJ

i tried this option..but the problem is as follows
Excel Export:+ The header comes like this
Report Name Company Name Date : 22-APR-10 Page: 1
Column1     Column2     Column3     Column4                     Column5                                     Column6                                                     Column7

i.e the export to HTML is retaining the format but it is putting the heading into multiple cells..there by making it look bad when opened in Excel.
Wheras in EXCEL export it doesnot retain formatting like Bold,etc it merges all the cells of teh first row and is putting it there which is much better to view.
Is there anything we can do about it ??
Thanks

How to make the start of Disco Plus / Viewer faster

Hello,
I open a workbook via link in Discoverer Viewer. It takes 30-60 seconds until the workbook opens.
I have to say that the whole environment is running on a laptop with 1,5 GB Ram (for a showcase). Is there an option to make it faster? I'm a little confused because when I manually start Discoverer Plus and then open the workbook it does not take so much time.
regards,
Tobias

Toki.
One other 'trick' you can perform for making the actual query run faster once you've connected - for demo purposes only - is to not use 'real data' with many tables, views, etc. but to dump the data you want into one table. In otherwords, you create a table that has the actual data that you would get from a query, querying say 3 tables.
Then when you're demo'ing, you get instant response as you're only using 1 table.
This is done by a well known company when they're trying to show off their product against an Oracle database and querying with various query tools including Disco.

Error connecting in Discoverer Plus/Viewer 10.1.2

I'm triying to connect to Discoverer Plus or Viewer. When I get to the login screen, fill all the required fields, but I got the following message: "The application encountered an invalid state.
- - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
When I run the checkdiscoverer. It works ok in all the checks except for: "Error: Failed to bind to Discoverer Server.
Hint: Try increasing the timeout by changing the timeout value in opmn.xml.". As the hint said I increased the start timeout, I got it up to 3500 and even incresed the minprocs to see if that helped. Nothing worked.
I'm testing this in a Windows XP Pro SP2 installed 1GB Ram. I Installed the BI Tools, App server but no infrastructure. The Installation process finished without any problems, except for a warning regarding not being able to determine the IP address. I can access all the options of the app server.

Hi Christian
In your connection to the database are you using a DNS named server or are you using an actual IP address?
By this I mean, when you launch Discoverer, do you do it this way:
http://servername.domain.com:7777/discoverer/plus
or this way:
http://ipaddress:7777/discoverer/plus
If you are using the former, can you go to the server itself and run Discoverer ok? If you can then it is a case that your local machine cannot work out what the IP address is. Let's say, for arguements sake, that you server is http://myserver.mydomain.com and that the IP is 192.168.1.100
You could try editing your HOSTS file and inserting a line in there to associate the IP with the domain. To do this, follow this workflow:
1. Right click on Windows Start button and from pop upmenu select Explore
2. Navigate to the folder called Windows/system32/drivers/etc
3. Locate the file called HOSTS
4. Edit this file with Notepad
5. Insert a line like this:
myserver.mydomain.com 192.168.1.100
6 Save the HOSTS file and exit Explorer
This associates the IP with the server name.
Does this help

Michael

Link from Discoverer (Plus/Viewer) to Reports?

Is it possible to create a link from a cell on a Discoverer sheet to an Oracle Reports report? I.e. doubleclick on cell value "A" and run report with "A" as parameter?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Access links should be like this.
Discoverer Plus - http://<your domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus
Discoverer Viewer - http://<your domain>:<port>/discoverer/viewer
<port> default port is 7778.
Try now.
Your Administrator is responsible for you to provide the links for both. Check with him.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus - Viewing Fax History Content

This is isn't an issue--on my old officejet (7310 xi) I could go to the fax history and view a .pdf file of each of the faxes that I had sent. This came in handy because I had a record of exactly what was sent to a particular party.
The fax function works great on the 8600 but I can't seem to find where I can view what I actually faxed to someone. Is this function available on the 8600 pro printer?
Thank you.

Hi,
You can see the fax log via the HP software as following:
From the desktop, click the HP Officejet Pro 8600 icon.
Double click on Fax Actions.
Enter Manage Fax Settings.
From the left pane click Fax History.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
