Discoverer 10g - Documents

Hi!
I get a list of all documents like that:
SELECT doc_name FROM eul5_documents;
However, when I open up Oracle Discoverer Desktop and choose to open an existing workbook from the Database, I can't see all workbooks the SQL statement showed me there are (same user, same database). What am I missing?
Thanks!

Hello
Here's a workflow for Desktop:
1. Log in as the user who owns the workbook
2. From the menu bar, select File | Manage Workbooks | Sharing
3. Use the Workbook > User tab
4. Use the drop down to choose the workbook
5. In the left-hand Users listing choose the user you want to share with
6. Click the *>Add* button
7. Click the OK button
Here's a workflow for Plus to share the current open workbook:
1. Log in as the user who owns the workbook
2. Open the workbook you want to share
3. From the menu bar select File | Share
4. In the left-hand Users listing choose the user you want to share with
5. Click the *>* button
6. Click the OK button
Also in Plus, here is how to generically share:
1. Log in as the user who owns the workbook(s) - no need to open a workbook
2. From the menu bar select Tools | Manage Workbooks
3. In the left-hand Workbooks listing choose the Workbook you want to share
4. Click the Share button
6. In the left-hand Users listing choose the user you want to share with
7. Click the *>* button
8. Click the OK button
Hope this helps

  • Discoverer 10g and Java 7- Anyone Document Incompatibilities

    Hi All,
    To provide a clearer picture to my IT steering committee, I am documenting Discoverer 10g / Java 7 incompatibilities.  As a company we are on Java 6 because of our Oracle Apps 12.1.3 implementation (we are not ready yet to make the jump to Java 7 on the apps side).
    Anyways, I have done some documentation of issues associated with Java 7 and Discoverer 10g, but I wanted to know if others have done some documentation.
    Here is my short list:
    -Can not enter text in the "name contains:" field associated with the "Open Workbook from Database" dialog box.
    -Can not edit column headings while editing workbooks.
    Any other issues people have noticed would be helpful.  I need to build a case for migrating to Discoverer 11g (which is compatible with Java 7).
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    M. Schroeder,
    Thanks for sharing your situation.
    Of course, trying to use Java 6 on the Discoverer Application Server side and Java 7 on the client side with Plus does not seem/sound like the smartest thing for us to being doing.  Certainly, this is not certified.
    Our intentions are to eventually migrate to OBIEE with OBIA, but a migration will be a large project and take some time.  There is hope that nothing needs to be done and everything will be okay in the interim.

  • Discoverer 10g Limitations....

    Hi,
    Is there any document or can you give me some info about Discoverer 10g limitations.... such as the maximum folders per business areas , hierarchies.... e.t.c.
    Regards,
    Simon

    Hi
    I don't believe there are any physical limits to things such as folders, items, hierarchies and so on. The only limits you have is memory, CPU capacity, network bandwidth, hard disk storage and the database limits.
    Of course, memory is the one you are most likely to run into trouble with so the more memory you have the better Discoverer Plus will be.

  • Tweaking defaults of Discoverer 10g (Viewer and Plus) login page

    Using information gleaned from the Metalink notes referenced below, we've had our admins successfully configure our default Discoverer 10g login pages (for Viewer and Plus) with the following tweaks:
    1) Remove the "typo-prone" entry box for RESPONSIBILITY (on an Apps-Mode EUL) in favor of the subsequent drop-down LOV option to select available responsibilities
    2) Re-order CONNECT TO options to make the more frequently used APPS-MODE option first in the drop-down list, followed by the STANDARD (relational) and finally, OLAP (to be hopefully implemented at some future date)
    3) Re-label CONNECT TO options with terminology more understandable to our end-users in order to better understand choices
    We would like, if possible, to further enhance the relative efficiency of the user login experience by making the APPS-MODE option the default selection upon initial entry to the page (the above-indicated re-ordering of the entries didn't appear to affect Oracle's continued default selection of the STANDARD option).
    If anyone has any suggestions / tips to accomplish this, we would greatly appreciate your feedback. I should also say, that we don't possess a lot of Java Development skills and therefore would appreciate any directions provided in a "cookbook/recipe" manner similar to those provided in the Metalink documents we were able to utilize for the changes made thus far.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I would have to suspect that the answer to the question of restricting responsibilities might well be yes.
    Here's one idea:
    Because responsibilities come from FND_RESPONSBILITIES, can you write a piece of SQL that positively identifies the responsibilities that are used inside Discoverer? If you can do that, I'm wondering whether a Discoverer logon trigger might be able to set a VPD policy to only allow those responsibilities.
    I don't have any time to try it otherwise I would. Is there anyone who can pick this up and run with it to see what can be made to happen?

  • How to Install Discoverer 10g.

    Can some one suggest me how to install Discoverer 10g. What metalink oracle document id that i needs to follow.
    1 What are the pre-install step it has.
    1.1 Is it required to install oracle database as the part of pre-install. Or Discoverer 10g will automataically install oracle database?
    2 what are the system requirements?
    3. Does any patches needs to be applied before installing 10g discoverer?
    2. what are post install steps
    2.1 Any registry entries needs to be done?
    Thanks
    Naveen

    The best place to begin would be with the documenation library, available at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.htm
    In particular take a look at Ch 2 About Oracle Business Intelligence installations and OracleAS Infrastructures of the Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Configuration Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1) for Microsoft Windows and Solaris Operating System (SPARC), B13918-03, available at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b13918/toc.htm
    Information on the actual installation steps are covered in the Oracle Application Server Quick Installation Guides.
    For example, in the Oracle® Application Server Quick Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Microsoft Windows, Part No B15908-01, look at Ch 7 Installing Portal and Wireless or Business Intelligence and Forms Developer Topology (includes OracleAS Infrastructure), available at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/win.1012/quickinstall.1012/quickinstall/quick_install.htm#sthref25

  • Discoverer 10g E-Business Release 12 Vision

    I am currently setting up Discoverer 10.1.2 for use with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, as per Metalink document 373634.1.
    I have reached the point where it's time to create a fresh End User Layer. However section 5.6 of the above document states that the 'Release 12 Vision database contains a pre-installed Discoverer 10.1.2 End User Layer'.
    Can anyone tell me how to access this and what the default login credentials are? I can't find it in any Discoverer document.

    Hi Mark,
    To answer your original question:
    "Can anyone tell me where I change configuration setting so that Discoverer Plus or Discoverer Desktop look for the correct dbc file?"
    There is not a way.
    It relies on what E-BS passes to it.
    You can see this by capturing the URL after you click the worksheet link in E-BS.
    You will see parameters like:
    &SessionCookieName=vis
    &Connect=%5BAPPS_SECURE%5Dvis
    In my environment, these match $FND_TOP/secure/<SID>_<HOST>/ dbc file
    You could also do a connection trace to see the values passed from E-BS
    Note 370800.1     How To Create An Applications Connection Trace For Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) Plus / Viewer
    Bottom line, you can't control it in Disco.

  • Discoverer 10g, it returns no data

    Hi all,
    I have a doubt can any one clarifies.
    Currently I work migration projects from 4i to 10g discoverer reports (Upgraded 11i to R12). Previously in 4i discoverer reports many views used and data also populated. Same query in discoverer 10g, it returns no data. I can view the data after setting client org id in the toad but can’t view the data in the discoverer reports. Even I tried to register as a function for setting client org id and use in the discoverer reports but result is no rows return. Can any one suggest?

    Hi,

  • Discoverer 10G Plus Questions

    Hi
    We're in the process of upgrading from Discoverer 4 (APPS EUL) to 10G. We're doing away with the Desktop client. Most users will be given access to Discoverer Viewer and other users will be given access to Plus. We have recently upgraded or DEV instance and there are a few "questions" (i.e. gripes) that users have come back to me with:
    1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?
    2) Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.
    3) NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.
    I'd very much appreciate feedback on any of the 3 points above.
    Thanks.
    Paul.

    Hi paul,
    Its a good idea to upgrade from 4i to 10g 4i is no more used by many and their are some issues or bugs with it.The latest version is 11g which has been released 1 week back.If not go with 10g version available.
    1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?Yes they have to stored in the database so any ened user can access them from plus or viewer.
    Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.Yes,if the reports are registered as different reports and if the end user has access to both the reports thn he can open and compare it OR if both reports are in same workbook as different sheets than its easy to view or compare.
    NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.It should show blank,might be some problem.In discoverer 10g i think you will not find this issues.
    Hope this helps you.

  • How to delete a workbook in Discoverer 10g

    Hello guys,
    Does anyone know how to delete a workbook from Discoverer 10g? I created a report in Discoverer Plus as SYSADMIN and gave this to my user. My user only has access to Discoverer Viewer. He went and did a "Save As" on this report. Now when he loggs in to Viewer again, he sees two report. One created by SYSADMIN and the on he created. I want to delete the one he created. How do I go about doing this? Can I do it from Discoverer? If so, which one(Viewer or Plus)? Will I have to login as him to do this? Please advise.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry for the question but you said:
    You just login as the user into viewer and delete the workbookWhere do you see the option to delete from the viewer ?
    To delete/ manage workbooks you need to login to either Plus or Desktop versions.
    And yes you need to log in using the owner user name

  • Differences between  Oracle Discoverer 10g and 11g (EBS & Desktop)

    We are in the process of upgrading from Oracle Discoverer 10g testing to Oracle Discoverer 11g.
    We have had several requests (from functional users) for documentation that might reflect the changes in this release level. Does anyone have relevant documentation that might help explain what has changed so that they can be better prepared.

    We are in the process of going from 10 desktop to 11 plus. I do not like it as other end-users I have talked to don't either. In desktop, I could have multiple reports open at one time, move tabs from one report to another so I wouldn't have to rebuild the report again. Also, there are times I have 3 or more sessions of desktop running with multiple reports running in them. In plus, I am limited to one session and one report. That slows down productivity big time. In desktop, exporting crosstabs to excel is more user friendly than plus. For desktop, it will fill in the cells below with the data above it if it changes. In plus, it looks like a pivot table. I have read other posts on how to work around that, but not always functional. Using Dense_Rank() works sometimes depending on how the report is written. IT is researching another way but haven't heard back from the consultants. Or, I will have to modify all my excel files with formulas to do that for me. Also in desktop, I can select all and copy paste the results into excel and all data comes in. The row and column headers, page items and even the title section will paste into excel. Plus only gives you the data, no row or column headers. So I have to export it every time I need the data. I have formatted excel files that all I need to do is copy paste and data flows beautifully. As for organizing and saving reports, desktop is much better. I can save reports out on our network under different folders so I can find them faster by topic. Granted, if that directory is an open one, anyone can change/delete it. In plus, the only advantage of saving it on the database is I can sort and search for reports or users. If you make any changes in plus and then walk away from your desk, plus will shut down after a certain time period. If you didn't save it, you have to start over. Don't know if this is something IT can fix???
    As we see it, plus is a step back in technology. I hope someone can change that opinion. Don't know if we are not getting the best support from whoever is working with us (Oracle or 3rd party) or we are missing something???? If so, please share.
    Thanks.

  • Tables or views to be included in Discoverer 10g

    Hi,
    In our test environment we have migrated to R12 and using Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.55.26). Since there is a way the security has changed I require some help.
    In production we are using 11i and the same version of Discoverer. In production I could use the "_v" views or tables where there was in-built security. When a user queries in discoverer, the user would be able to view data only pertaining to his/her responsibility.
    In our test environment please can someone help me for the following (R12 with Disc 10g)
    Which is the "_v" views or tables or "where clause to restrict the access" to user in discoverer wherein based on the users responsibility, the data will be displayed.
    GL Balances
    GL Hearder & Details
    AR Balances
    Receipts
    AR Invoice header & lines & distribution
    AP Balances
    AP Invoice header & lines & distribution
    Payment Overview
    Prepayment Enquiry
    Kindly note, regardless of the security setup in the R12, I would want a "_v" views or tables or "where clause" which can be used always.
    If there is solution based on "_v" views or tables and a solution also based on "where clause", which would be ideal to use in terms of performance.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can use the eTRMs to get this information.
    Follow this link https://etrm.oracle.com/pls/trm11510/etrm_fndnav.ls_apps or search for eTRM in Metalink (you'll need a Metalink login to access the eTRMs).
    Go to the FND tab and choose the product OTA - Learning Management. This will give a list of all the relevant tables. OTA_EVENTS and OTA_DELEGATE_BOOKINGS would be a good place to start.
    Hope this helps,
