Discoverer viewer -- export to pdf doesn't retain page settings.

Hi,
The report output in discoverer viewer is much different from that of plus. I am concerned abt the report headers. In discoverer plus, the headers are left, center and right aligned.
But in viewer, every thing is aligned center. How can I get the report o/p (same as that of plus) in viewer??
Thanks

Hi there
did you fix it in Viewer?
I am also getting the same issue, I have made my page setting in Discoverer Plus , when I go use Discoverer Viewer use the Printable page to get the PDF file, the layout does not shows the same page settings what I did in Discoverer Plus.
Thanks

Oracle Discoverer - Export report as PDF

Using Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.1 with Adobe 7 installed. We do not see an option to export as a PDF file. It was my understanding this should be an option. Is there a way to add PDF as an export option?

Hi,
You cannot export to PDF from Discoverer Desktop, however, you can use Discoverer to print to the Adobe PDF Converter print device which will generate the Discoverer report in PDF format.

Discoverer Viewer printing PDF hangs

Hi all,
I have installed Oracle BI Discoverer 10.1.2.48.18. It works fine exept that it is not closing discoverer processes. As number of processes raises the amount of free memory lowers. When about 10% free memory on the server the Discoverer Viewer stops creating PDF printouts.
I open Disco session, open sheet it displays OK. I can export to csv, xls and other formats except PDF. I also can not print PDF. If I click on Page for Print I can set PDF printing options. Then click on Preview or Print and got the Printing PDF - Wait screen. It lasts and lasts...
Tried opmnctl restartproc ias-component=Discoverer, Discoverer processes disappears, still can not print PDF.
After coplete restart AS (opmnctl stopall, startall) the function recovers.
Seems to be tied with memory usage.
I can restart the AS say 1 a week, but rather use other way to keep the Discoverer printing.
Any suggestions, please.

Hi Jiri
Your CPU and memory looks ok for the Discoverer usage you have described. I'd watch BPEL though and make sure that isn't grabbing too much resource. If anything, memory would be the one to increase. As I mentioned in a previous posting, a 4:1 ratio for smaller boxes is recommended. Your ration is 2:1, although for only 5 users you should be fine.
I'm assuming you are using Discoverer in stand-alone mode? If not, and you have the infrastructure database on the same machine you are definitely underpowered.
Regarding the memory, the server is supposed to clear the sessions eventually. One way that you can definitely help is to tell your users NOT to close the browser or click the little X at the top right-hand corner of the screen. This may well close the session on the client end but the server is still holding the session for them.
Here is what I always do:
1. When changing from workbook to workbook I always click File | Close to get rid of the current workbook completely
2. When exiting Discoverer I always use File | Exit, after using File | Close.
I seem to get far fewer issues this way. It's therefore a training issue and is something that you can do right now. Hopefully this issue will be cleared in the future.
Best wishes

How can I export Discoverer reports automatically from within PLUS ?

Hi,
I want to export Discoverer Repors it to PDF file. I can manually export my report as an PDF file, Now I would like to run this report and export the
PDF once a day automatically. Has anyone done something like this on
a Windows server?
I am using Discoverer (Oracle Discoverer 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1), there is no Desktop version anymore, so I am using PLUS version, how can I apply this through PLUS version.
Any help.
Thanks,
Hani

Do NOT attempt to use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD. This class and method is for use through the SAPGui and will NOT work within BSP. This information is completely incorrect!
There are lots of existing Weblogs on this subject. Have a look through them for solutions that do work.

Discoverer and WebCenter

Hi all
I would like to know how is possible to integrate Discoverer portlets with WebCenter 3.0 with full functionality. I have been doing some tests taking Discoverer portlet provider, registering those portlets and displaying them on WebCenter, but they seem stalled, like pictures, with no further functionality like in OAS.
Hope you can help me soon.
Best regards!

Hi,
Webcenter supports Portal Development Kit (PDK) portlets which is currently how Discoverer 11g publishes portlets; therefore, you should be able to deploy native Discoverer 11g portlets in Webcenter.
Oracle® Fusion Middleware Guide to Publishing Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Portlets11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/bi.1111/b40110/webcenter.htm#sthref95
Per the Discoverer Statement of Direction on OTN, JSR-168 Discoverer portlets are a planned 11g enhancement.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/overview/discoverer-sod-jan2009-132849.pdf
For Discoverer 11g, WebLogic server is the default application server for the java bits, Oracle HTTP Server is the default web server.
Hope that helps.

Steve

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

Hi,
When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
Any thoughts?
Justin

Thanks 2257648922,
Version details are as follows:
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.3)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.55.26
Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.55.26
End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.55.26
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
Copyright © 1999, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
So I assume that means my version doesn't have the bug you mention.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Discoverer Viewer 10.1.2.55.26 PDF Printing Issue

Hope someone can help with this as i am at a bit of a dead end as i have trawled google looking for the same issue but no one seems to report this.
Using Discoverer Viewer i generate my report and then click the Printable Page link, then click the Printable PDF button, the PDF appears to get generated but when i click on the PDF doc then Adobe reader displays the message "The File is damaged and could not be repaired. Loca\EWHg7{w#h5d" When i go onto the app server and browse to the "$ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_BI_Forms\applications\discoverer\discoverer\WEB-INF\export_output" i can see the generated PDF file but it shows as a 4kb file and if i try to open it i get the same message about it being damaged.
I have another machine that does produce the file correctly, but it is the only machine that does so. It is still a win 7 machine using IE9 the only difference being that i have logged onto the machine as a different user. I though this may somehow be a user issue ? but why would my domain authentication account have any impact on the PDF process in disco viewer? not using single sign on, i am logging into discoverer viewer as the same user each time.
Any help or ideas would be greately appreciated as this is very frustraiting.
Thanks in advance
Eddie

Michael,
Our server guy confirms that Version 6 Update 24 is what we have on the servers. He has been trying to solve this issue for two months with no real success. I just logged into Discoverer and did not see the errors. It's not every time a user logs in, but it's often enough to be quite a bit of trouble.
Another issue that I see before me (literally on my screen) is when the dialogue box is up to open an existing workbook and the little blue text boxes, sometimes called "hints", pops up with the name of the workbook and it's owner, if the mouse pointer is not moved right away then that little blue box stays on the screen in that spot and does not move or erase. It will stay there until you exit Discoverer and exit from all Internet Explorer windows. When I minimize all windows, the blue text box is still in that spot on the screen now on my windows background.
This blue box error has bugged some of my users but at least a user can move the screen around it. The other error is more serious because it keeps a user from getting their reports.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Hi there!
In discoverer 9.0.2.39.01 (desktop edition), EUL 5.0.0.0.0.0 the export data option

If there is a workaround please send a hint to the list.
Anybody out there who can give me a hint?

Hi there!
Here is the solution:
I have five Oracle Homes on my PC, because I am testing new releases of
Oracle software (e.g. Discoverer 9.0.2).
The database connect is well defined in the tnsnames.ora in the oracle home
for 9i tools but not defined in the oracle home for 6i Tools (a newbie error
- annoyingly, but there is no qualified error message from Discoverer ...).
So Reports (6i!) is not able to connect to the target database. But if you
wish to export to PDF you need reports 6i.
Thanks again!
Best regards!

Hi,
There is no direct way to generate PDF from Disco Desktop. However, you can install a PDF converter and use Disco Desktop to print to the PDF converter print device.

Exporting discoverer report into pdf

Dear All,
I am having a requirement, when I am export discoverer report to pdf it has to display all column in one page but now I am getting 4 columns in one page next columns are displaying in next page. Total I am having 20 columns how can I display all column in pdf.
Please anyone help me
Thanks in advance

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with your directly.
Is there a reason why you need that much data in a one report? It will take a long time to load or browse around. I suggest you make these reports smaller for your users.
