Discoverer 11g patching question

Discoverer 11g patching question
I need to apply patch 13643211 which asks us to
Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to WebTier home,
say "[MW_HOME]/Oracle_WT1" directory.
I am not able to figure out what is the web tier home. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
This is what we have by default
Middleware Home Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware
Oracle Home Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/as_1
Oracle Instance Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_1
Oracle Instance: asinst_1
Domain Option: Create Domain
Domain Name: ClassicDomain
Domain Home: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain
Thank you

I assumed that the webtier refers to the instance_home, but it looks like it is the oracle_home I should be patching (since the the patch is for OHS). Can somebody please clarify?

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 2 of 4)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 3 of 4)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6. This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01
There are no patch sets for Release 2 as of yet.

Export in Discoverer 11g

Hello ,
I have a Problem with the Web-Version of Oracle-Discoverer.
I make an Export in Web-Discoverer 11g.
My Result has 700 000 records and if I export this into for example a Text file then I get 177 000 records in this file. Not enough.
The same thing i got in csv- or html-files.
In Discoverer-Desktop the Export is fine. All 770 000 records are in the text-file.
The difference between Discoverer-Web and Discoverer-Desktop is that the Web-Version is 11g and the Desktop-Version is 10g.
Is there a limit of records that can be exported in such files?
Regards Philipp

Hello,
If I understand your question correctly, no this is not possible. There is no tool or method to have Discoverer 11g review the 9.0.4 statistics/usage and then limit the resources based upon the 9.0.4 usage.
You can limit the number of rows returned or set requirement to schedule worksheets that are estimated to take over specific time and other such settings. These same settings are available in 9.0.4 as well.

How modify my connections page in Discoverer 11g

Hi Experts,
We had a customized connections page for ours Discoverer version 10. A genius updated to version 11g without more information about ours customizations. Now I need to re-build all my customizations (add a new link in connections page, add an image, etc..). How can I do this in Discoverer 11g?
Thanks,
Gianni Neves

Hello David,
Thanks for reply.
Actually I am just concern abt the OBIEE Dashboard page, the link that u have mentioned is for Application Server, where we can manage the multiple Application Portals.
and it also doesn't come with Middleware that we are installing for OBIEE.
so i did get some useful information but not related to my question.
is there any place in EM(Enterprise Manager) or Console(Admin Console) from where we can manage the Default Portal for OBIEE Users?
Thanking You..

Default the sender name while sending email from discoverer 11g viewer

Hi,
Can we put a default value of a sender in the email which are sent from discoverer 11g viewer.??

Hello
Yes, you can do this but you have to edit one of the UIX files to do it. The following is taken from my new Discoverer 11h Handbook which will be out later in the year.
If you want to force users to send Discoverer reports from a prespecified e-mail account, use the following workflow:
Locate this file: $MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/WLS_DISCO/tmp/_WL_user/discoverer_11.1.1.2.0/<tmpfolder>/war/Email.uix
NOTE: In my system the name of the tmpfolder was 51oeh7. You may have a different name for <tmpfile> on your system and so may need to do a search for Email.uix.
Make a safe backup of Email.uix.
Find the following line and add the information in bold, changing [email protected] with your default email address:
<contents>
<messageTextInput required="yes" name="sender" disabled="true"
tip="[email protected]" columns="40"
prompt="${uix.data.nls['email.text.sender']}" text="[email protected]"/>
NOTE: In the above, you will be replacing text="${uix.eventResult.sender}" with your default email address like: text="myemail.mycompany.com"
Find the following line and add the line in bold below it:
<formValue name="event" value="sendEmail" />
<formValue name="sender" [email protected] />
NOTE: Make sure the domain name you provide is the same domain you are using for the SMTP server; otherwise, your Discoverer Viewer users will not be able to send e-mail.
Take a backup of the modified file and place it somewhere safe.
Stop and restart the WLS_DISCO server in the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
Notes concerning editing of UIX files:
Never make any changes without first backing up the UIX file you intend to work on. You need to go slowly and carefully, making backups as you go and trying your modifications on a test system first.
Any changes you make to a UIX file will not be supported by Oracle, and if you run into any problems with changes you make to a UIX file, you will be on your own, which is why you need a backup.
If you need future support, you will need to be able to prove that the issue you are encountering is not because of any changes you have made. You will basically need to have a clean instance to prove that the issue is still there.
Any upgrades or patches that you subsequently apply may overwrite any custom changes that you have made to the UIX files. It will be your responsibility to keep copies of any changes you have made, and it will be your responsibility to make sure these changes are still valid after any upgrade or patch.
NOTE: I cannot be held responsible if you tamper with your UIX files and mess up your system. You have been warned! That said, there are many examples for editing UIX files on Oracle’s Support site. So long as you are careful and heed the warnings mentioned, you should be fine
Best wishes

Hi Experts, i hope this is a very good question .
we have installed discoverer 11g on a dev databse successfully and i worked fine for few days . suddenly our database got corrupted and lost so we have created a new database with same old name and deleted the previous one . i believe that the repository that was created using RCU also lost . now my question is .

2. can i create a new repository and replace it with the existing repository ( if yes, then where can i do that ) .
3. my db servers are also changed so where are the places do i need to update the tns entries

Oracle BI Discoverer 11g

hi ,
i have oracle database 11g as warehouse (O/S; windows xp Sp2) .
i am going to use Oracle BI Discoverer 11g as BI tools , i can not find it's software in OTN to download .
i have download "biee_windows_x86_101341.zip" and installed it but discoverer is not in that zip file .
regards
Padideh

Hi Padideh
You will only see the pubic connection link if you install a full-blown appplication server and attach Discoverer to an infrastructure database. That database would have the OID schema.
You can certainly use Discoverer against a data warehouse. In fact working with star schemas is the best way to get Discoverer working well. You simply launch the Discoverer Administrator tool and create one or more business areas by importing object definitions from your target data warehouse. You do not need a patch for this.
May I give a word of advice? If you don't know how to go about creating good business areas and making database content available to users via Discoverer then you should get some training. Trying to make Discoverer work well against a data warehouse with no knowledge of Discoverer or OWB will give you problems and could cause you to have an unsuccessful implementation. My company does training in the US at good rates (http://ascbi.com/training) if you are interested, or you can go to an Oracle University class (http://education.oracle.com and type discoverer into the serach box at top right) or just look on line where you will find lots of companies offering training courses. If you are outside the US I know of several places in the UK or, as I say, take a look at the Oracle University offerings.
In a previous part of this thread you asked about the metadata repository and repositort assistant. Those both belong to Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) and have nothing to do with Discoverer.

Oracle Discoverer 11g Error to create a new public connection

Hi,
Since i have install a new Discoverer 11g, i got this error.
A connection error.
- error while creating the session, check for other errors.
- oracle.discoiv.connections.ConnectionStoreException: While trying to lookup 'jdbc.disco_pstore' didn't find subcontext 'jdbc'. Resolved ''
- While trying to lookup 'jdbc.disco_pstore' didn't find subcontext 'jdbc'. Resolved ''
- While trying to lookup 'jdbc.disco_pstore' didn't find subcontext 'jdbc'. Resolved ''

- Cannot retrieve connection list. Check the Discoverer application log for more details.
The installation is an stand-alone without OID but i know why - jdbc looking to the metadata of the pstore.
The database schemas are created and populated by RCU by i cannot use the STAND ALONE mode.
Cheers

How to install Discoverer 11g on Web Logic Server with Forms and Reports 11g Rel2

Hello,
We finally started to migrate from Oracle iAs 10g Release 2 to Oracle Forms and Reports 11g Release 2 using Web Logic. I don't see an option to install Discoverer on the server.
My OS: windows 2008 R2
Installed Web Logic 10.3.6
Forms & Reports: 11.1.2.2.0_64 (64 Bit Forms)
How do I install Discoverer Plus in 11g? All I can find is Discoverer 11g Desktop/Administrator to run on User work Station. We were using discoverer Plus in 10g iAS.
Thanks

But its finely working in 10g. The Place of error is in find_report_object
Is any solution to resolve this problem like any registry setting or patches to solve this problem
Please guide me

I was able to download it from this link:

on the general 11g Fusion download page at:

Although the site does appear to be having problems. I got intermittent errors of the page/server not being available.

Install Repository Creation Utility [RCU] for Discoverer 11g

Friends !
Please help me in answering below quesitons.
1. We are implementing Discoverer 11g on Sun Solaris 64 SParc systems
2. For this i did download software using "edelivery" - Oracle Fusion MiddleWare 11g.
3. I did installed Weblogic server
4. But there is no "Repository Creation Utility " for solaris env. Is it mandatory to install Repository Creation Utility for discoverer 11g installation
our main goal is to install discoverer 11g and integrate with e-business environment 12.1.3
Please advise on this
Regards
VSH

Please see MOS note 858748.1.
Section "5. RCU only on Linux x86 and Windows 32 bit"
This states:
"Since the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) is only available on Linux and Windows, how can I create schemas in other supported Oracle Database platforms?
Answer:
RCU is only available for Windows 32 bit and Linux x86. Run RCU on these supported platforms to remotely access a certified Oracle Database Server (see Certification Guide) by following the RCU User's Guide"
There are then links to useful information so definitely read that note.

Please, i need your help!

I had a similar problem with a vanilla install of 11g on my local Windows XP box. The difference was that I could connect using SqlPlus but could not connect with Sql Developer.
In Sql Developer, I first tried "Connection type = basic", "Hostname = localhost", "Port = 1521" and "sid = orcl".
I then tried "Connection type = TNS", "Network Alias = ORCL".
Neither worked.
In the end, I got around the first problem by replacing "localhost" with the machine's IP address. I got around the second problem by looking at windows services and noticing that the "OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener" service was set to start automatically but was not started. I started it manually and all was good. I'm sure this willl alll fall apart when my IP address changes due to DHCP but at least I will know where to look.

Intermittent Sign on issues with Discoverer 11g

Since migrating to Discoverer 11g, we have received a number of issues where Discoverer users can't connect to Discoverer and receive a invalid username/password, logon denied.
Everything is correct with the account and they are able to log in if they use another Browser. If they are using IE I have them switch to Firefox and if they are using Firefox I have them switch to IE or the other work-around is if I have them use the browser that is having the issue they go in to Private mode it will allow them to sign in.
This problem does not appear to be Browser specific or a Java version issue but it does seem to have something to do with the fact that most of the users having this issue saved their passwords in their browser when using the previous 10g version. Even at that I have had them clear out all of their cache including saved passwords and it has not fixed the issue.
Has anybody encountered anything similar?
Versions:
Oracle BI Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.3.0)

Hi,
Did you try to simply clear the cache ? and the saved password ?
also i think you should clean the java cache
