Hey guys,
I recently upgraded to Disco 10G, but i am unbale to retrieve more than 99999 rows of data. In the admin tool i change the limit to 999,999 but when look at the viewer preference, it only allow me to enter upto 99999.
Am i missing something here ? Thanks in advance

I need to set up Disco 10g Viewer etc, for 4 dbs (and end user layers)
[1] Should I use the existing mid-tier, or install an additional tier exclusively for Discoverer
[2] How do I set up four Disco 10g configurations for the 4 databases (1 end user layer per database)
[3] How do I integrate Disco with SSO

Hi Paul,
Actually, I set up a databased connect by local sqlplus. I am testing form application. no error and no data.
from sqlplus, i can user userid string in formsweb.cfg logs into database and get data by sqlplus
I think I need to set datasource in application Server inside.
I use buttom of create like
But I get message as "Commit Failed - The Transactional(XA) Location and the EJB Location are required when configuring an Emulated data source."
How to fill information in below fields:
JNDI Locations
For an emulated Data Source, please specify all three location attributes. It is recommended that you reference the EJB Location attribute in your code to look up this Data Source. For a non-emulated Data Source, the location attribute is all that is needed.
* Location
Transactional(XA) Location
EJB Location
any wrong?

Partition By Function creating problem in Disco 10g

We have used "Partition By" analytical function in some of our reports. We were running it in Disco 4i without any problem. But when we tried to run those reports in disco 10g, all the calculation columns where "Partition By" function is used, showing empty. When I remove "partition by" clause it retrieves the data. Anybody knows why it is happening?
Update: When I tried to add following existing calculation in the report gives me a error "column ambiguously defined"
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY Invoice Number,Invoice Line Number ORDER BY Invoice Line Number )
Thanks

Hi
You don't type the double quotes but if Discoverer puts them in leave them there.
My gut feeling is that the problem is caused by the names of the items in the folder, or at least inside the report. As you know, whenever Discoverer begins parsing a name it stops whenever the name can be satisfied or tied to an object. Look again at your code:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY Invoice Number,Invoice Line Number ORDER BY Invoice Line Number )
You have an item called Invoice Number right? You also have an item called Invoice Line Number. As Discoverer is parsing these do you happen to have another item in your system called Invoice? If so, Discoverer will think you are asking it to PARTITION BY that item. Does this make sense?
Let's try an experiment.
Create 2 calculations, one called INV_NUM and one called INV_LINE, pointing INV_NUM directly at INVOICE NUMBER and INV_LINE at INVOICE_LINE_NUMBER.
Having got these 2 calculations in use, remove the original items from the report
Now try adding this code:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY INV_NUM,INV_LINE ORDER BY INV_LINE)
Did this help at all?
May I finally give you a workd of warning and that is to take care when naming items in folders. While Discoverer will let you do it, try to avoid using Oracle reserved words in item names. The name Number is a reserved word.
Having these as item names can lead to terrible problems when using analytic functions. Imagine if you will that you have a column called INVOICE and another called INVOICE DESC, short for DESCRIPTION and you use this:
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY INVOICE AMOUNT ORDER BY INVOICE DESC )
Discoverer will think you want the INVOICE sorted in descending order which is not what you want at all. In this case you won't get an error. You'll just get the wrong answer.

Disco 10g with Apps 11.5.9. Financials Intelligence

Hello,
I'm reading through Metalink note "Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i" 313418.1. with a view of getting Apps 11.5.9 integrated with Disco for both Financials Intelligence and also custom business areas and folders created against the base Apps views and tables.
I have some queries relating to SSO and step 1.6 ( Implement Single Sign-On for Discoverer 10.1.2.0.2 (Optional) )
I want to understand better when this needs to be put in place. I essentially need to be able to use the Financials Intelligence responsibility in Apps so that when I click on one of the reports, say "Project Cost Analysis", this would launch Disco 10g directly without further sign on requests, or choosing a connection from the Discoverer Connections screen.
I would also want to launch additional custom reports based on the Apps 11.5.9 datamodel via Disco Plus/Viewer standalone, preferably by the Apps 11.5.9 menu. Can this be done, or do I need to launch the Discoverer plus/viewer URL directly to access the connections screen (presuming the default connections screen is mandatory)?
How does Oracle Apps work with the connections screen that is provided with Disco 10g so that it does not appear when a report is launched? Perhaps this is where the option step 1.6 assists with full SSO integration with the single signon server, so that it uses your Apps login to work out what Disco connection you have available to you.
We are not necessarily looking at using Oracle Portal, or requiring additional SSO integration with OID, if Disco can be fully integrated with Apps from a sign on perspective via other means.
I guess that if we can only launch custom disco worksheets from the connections screen (http://host:port/discoverer/viewer) which has a connection already registered for the user's connection using URL security (as you wouldn't want a financials reports made public) then we may need to consider SSO integration as described in step 1.6 if it allows us to use the same login details as used for Apps sign on.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
John

Thanks for the reply.
I've looked at Section 6 - not sure which part you are specifically referring to as paragraph 3, but I am guessing you mean the heading titled "Verify Applications profile options in Oracle Applications".
I have a couple of further queries.
1. How do you integrate a new custom Disco worksheet into Apps 11i using form function security? I'm sure there is a current document on this somewhere. I found metalink note 278095.1 "How to Create a Link to a Discoverer Workbook in Apps11i", but this said that the author could not get this to work in 10g. Is there a document that is relevant to 10.1.2?
2. Section 1.2 in the original note I was referring to states:
If you are not planning to use features Discoverer Connection Management, Discoverer Portlet Provider, and Oracle SSO, you can choose to alternatively install Oracle Business Intelligence Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2). This installation type does not require installation and association to OracleAS Identity Management Infrastructure 10g (10.1.4.0.1).
Does this not require an infrastructure tier at all? Does anyone have a URL that points to the documentation/product download page for this software? I can find the standard Apps Server 10g page. I am wondering whether this significantly reduces the time to get Disco installed and integrated with Apps 11i versus going down a full install, as the metalink note contains a large number of steps.
Cheers,
John

Disco 10g discoverer and OWB

Currently We plan to use disco 10g discoverer (web based). We have installed oracle application server but for some reason we cannot have portlet right now. so my question is without running lineage.sql(because we cannot get OWB database DAD, default one is portal30), can we still maintain hierarchy which generated from OWB? Or whether we can get someway to know OWB DAD?
thanks....

Disco 10G Custom Function for HTML Call to pass specific sheetid

After learning that I cannot specify Disco 10G to open a particular worksheet in a workbook from a form menu launch (currently all I get is a listing of worksheets available in the workbook), I am told to create a custom function to handle this - instead of using OracleOASIS.RunDiscoverer.
I have tried creating a custom function in our custom schema, but I only end up with an error page (Invalid Function) when I try to launch the report from the menu function. I even tried duplicating the Oracle OracleOASIS package and renaming it in APPS, only to receive the same results.
Does anyone know the correct steps involved to create a new package for the HTML Call of a function in order to launch a Discoverer report?
Thank you,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne
Here's a simple form that can be used to call Discoverer Plus:
<br><br>
<html><br>
<form method="post" name="Login" action="http://myserver.com/discoverer/plus"> <br>
Username: <input type="input" name="us" value="username"> <br>
Password: <input type="input" name="pw" value="password"> <br>
Database: <input type="input" name="db" value="database"> <br>
EUL: <input type="input" name="eul" value="EUL"> <br>
Workbook: <input type="input" name="opendbid" value="MY_AIRLINE"> <br>
Worksheet: <input type="input" name="sheetid" value="222"> <br>
<input type="submit" name="connect" value="Connect"><br>
</form> <br>
</html>
<br><br>
You will need to make sure you pass the correct username, password, database, eul, workbooks id (opendbid), and worksheet id (sheetid). Note that the EUL needs to be passed in uppercase and that the workbook id is case sensitive. You should also notice that this form displays the values in the form and allows the user to change them. After the user has entered their own values, they click the button called Connect.
<br><br>
A similar form for Viewer is as follows:
<br><br>
<html><br>
<form method="post" name="Login" action="http://myserver.com/discoverer/viewer"> <br>
<input type="hidden" name="us" value="username"> <br>
<input type="hidden" name="pw" value="password"> <br>
<input type="hidden" name="db" value="database"> <br>
<input type="hidden" name="eul" value="EUL"> <br>
<input type="hidden" name="wbk" value="MY_AIRLINE"> <br>
<input type="hidden" name="wsk" value="222"> <br>
<input type="submit" name="connect" value="Connect"><br>
</form> <br>
</html>
<br><br>
You will notice that for Viewer not only is there a different URL but the commands to pass the workbook and worksheet ids are different too. You should also notice that Viewer will execute the call without showing the values on the screen. All you will see is a button called Connect.
<br><br>
Does this help?<br><br>
Regards<br><br>

Disco+ 10g - Financial Year Total Problem (ye old ORA-00979)

Hi, I'm pretty much a newbie to Disco+.
I have created a crosstab report for the Jul06-Jun07 financial year. The report is to display a monthly count of the number of times (days) each month an employee participates in a specified meeting type (query condition), with sub-total (column) at each QTR and Total (column) for financial year.
- Row item is "Emp.EmpName"
- Column items (calculated in EUL) are "Meeting.MeetYear", "Meeting.MeetQtr",
"Meeting.MeetMonth".
- Data points are calculation "CountMeets" being:
NVL(COUNT_DISTINCT(EmpMeetDateID),0), where EmpMeetDateID is a concatenation
of Emp.EmpName & Meeting.MeetDate & Meeting.MeetType.
The report produces correct monthly and quarterly totals, but when I try to add in the grand total at right (financial year total), Disco+ generates ORA-00979 not a GROUP BY expression.
Here'e hoping someone can give greatly appreciated guidance.
Thanks
Rick

Well actually your response is helpful,
but would you care to clarify where in the IDE you should adjust what?
Thanks so much!

Disco 10g Admin errors after upgrading db from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8

We no longer have the capability to add mutliple user in the Administrator. We have to login and out several time just to setup a single user in Discoverer. Has anyone come accross this before?

Hi
I've seen this from time to time, most typically when I plug my laptop onto a client network where a firewall is in use. I don't whether this will help you but what I do which usually makes it work is to reboot the PC.
I think its something to do with network connectivity. Do you have a firewall in use in your office? Other than the reboot, which is a temporary fix, you might want to check out the interconnectivity between the circuit that you are on and the circuit that the database server is on.
Can anyone else shed any light on this?

Oracle GL (11.5.10.2) APPS Mode.. GL Security Upgrade Disco 4i to 10g

Hi there
We upgrade Discoverer 4i to BI Discoverer 10g release2, I have responsibilities define for each module, my all responsibilities are working fine in Discoverer 10g , except GL responsibilities, I am not able to see the data in Discoverer 10g (Desktop/Plus). BUT when I login through Discoverer 4i (Desktop), I can see the data ... means my old GL Reports are working fine with Disco 4i Desktop but same report don't show the data with the same responsibility in Disco 10g (desktop/Plus).
Any Idea.
Thanks
JOJI

Thanks russ. Your Answers..
1) Yes I did already.
2) Yah I can see the reports from the user. Actually its a same user.
3) Yes there is a gl_security_pkg.validate_access is in sql. But when I go look Script from TOAD, I can see the package name and then If I tried to find that It says gl_security_pkg not found from database through EUL_US user.
I found Note:139817.1 at meta link which says some thing about the bugs, Is it related to my problem too? The document looks too old.

Export Save / Open dialog box appears behind disco screen

Hi all
Disco 10g Plus, excel, latest Sun java 6.16 jvm
We have an annoying but strange issue with exporting.
A user opens and runs a report ok.
Withing Disco 10 plus they then click on either file-Export-excel or click on the Export Excel icon on disco plus toolbar
Either way the export happens and a dialog box appears with blue progress bar and then this disappears.
And then nothing appears to happen.
However, something actually has happened, behind the disco 10 window the 'File Download' dialog box with 'Do you wish to open or save this file?' appears. Clicking on save saves it to PC and clicking open opens it in Excel which is fine.
I am not sure of this box belongs to excel or internet explorer but does anyone know of any way to have this dialog box appear IN FRONT of the current disco plus window as some of our users think that disco has 'frozen' and thus log support calls.
thanks in advance,
dw
Edited by: derrywriter on Sep 30, 2009 2:40 PM

Hi dw
I have heard of folks complaining that exports to Excel hang. I have not had any feedback to say that the dialog box is actually open behind the scenes. This is very interesting news and thanks for reporting it. I will certainly look for this in the future and see if I can find a pattern.
If I may ask, what exact version of Discoverer are you on and what cumulative patch level have you implemented?
Also, what browser are you using and have you tried this in another one?
Have you tried deinstalling Java 6.16 and tested with an older one like 6.11 which I have seen working very well?
As much extra information as you can provide will definitely help and could trigger an idea from someone reading.
Best wishes

Is it possible to run Discoverer 10g non apps on an Applications database

Hello,
I am currently working with a customer whose Discoverer implementation was originally implemented with Discoverer 3.1.36 before apps mode existed.
It was installed on an Apps database (Financials).
It was then upgraded to 4 - still in non apps mode and all was ok.
However, now they need to upgrade to 10g, and rather than go through all the rewriting of their security etc (they have an awful lot of custom folders etc), they have asked if they can upgrade their Discoverer 4 non apps EUL to Disco 10g non apps.
However, during some preliminary testing, it seems that some views are not returning data - for example, fnd_flex_values_vl.
If they log in to the test env with Discoverer 4, the data returns with no issues, however with Discoverer 10g (and the same user) it does not.
They are logging in with the eul owner both times and this user contains both the Disco 4 and Disco 10 tables in its schema, so the grants etc are identical.
Is there a technical reason that whilst this worked at 4, it no longer does in 10?
Kind regards

What happens if they log in as an application user (rather than EUL owner) to retrieve data from these VL views ?

Discoverer 10g configuration steps

Hi All,
My company is implementing discoverer 10g. One question that I have is that is it possible to have a setup which requires the users to change their password (password reset option) the first time they log ino disco 10g. Probably its going to be plus. I have seen other companies have that setup.
Would anyone point out the set up steps needed to implement it.probably we will need a password policy on the databas and some setting changes on the Apps server but I am not too sure.
Any help is deepely appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can expire the users' password in the database, but then the user will not be able to log into Discoverer at all. Discoverer has no built in mechanism to change the database password.
You could implement your own password expire mechanism that would allow the users to login but not do anything until they had changed their password using a custom workbook. Quite complicated to set up, you would need to use contexts, logon triggers, a bit of PL/SQL and maybe VPD.

Disco 4i Error 'This user requires Create Any Materialized View Sys Priv'

Hi,
Firstly I will say we are late with moving to Disco 10g, fully understood and constantly remind people of need to upgrade.
Oracle Apps 11i instance, we have upgraded the database 10g.
In Disco 4i Admin, Import folder from Database, we receive Error Message:
*'This user requires Create Any Materialized View System Priviledge'*
Have spoken to number of our DBA's but been unable to resolve this. I have read loads of stuff about similar issues, but no direct hits really help me.
I am guessing we need to logon as SYSTEM db user and execute
h5. SQL> grant create materialized view to <username>;
h5. SQL> grant alter any materialized view to <username>;
Please can anyone advise, I am sure it's going to be a DB/Schema owner, as the username; i.e. APPS or EUL_US?
I cannot see it being the fnd_user for the Disco EUL owner, e.g. SYSADMIN or PatStock.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
If you are doing the import as SYSADMIN then you are connected as APPS so this is the database user that needs additional privilege.
However, the APPS user only needs create materialized view privileges if there are manually created summary folders in the EUL, i.e. summary folders based on materialized views. If you are not using these then the privilege is not required.
The EUL_US user just needs to give Discoverer Administrator privileges to the SYS_ADMIN user. Nothing else should be needed.

Does Discoverer Desktop 10g allows Inline queries??

Can anyone working on 10g tell me, whether Disco 10g allows the use of Inline queries while working with Discoverer Desktop & importing SQL.
I am currently working on 4 & it doesn't allow.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply Steve, I am agree with you on your explanation. But still there are situations when you need to have alternate solutions.
So my Question is still as it is Whether 10g supports using Inline queries while Importing SQLs or not.
