Discoverer 3i viewer connection

IN 3-tier environment,viewer servlet is called by button through browser then unable to connect to database error is
Authentication Failed.
(Failed to connect to database - ORA-12514: Message 12514 not found; product=RDBMS80; facility=ORA )
null

Meenakshi,
ORA-12514 in Viewer Edition of Discoverer is due to Wrong entry in the TNSNames.ora, Check the TNSNames.ora entries, Check for .world is added in the ConnectString fo each entries.
This might also happen if you use Non-English Language. If that is the case, you need to upgrade to Latest Version.
Thanks,
Selva.

Discoverer Plus loses connection when COLLAPSING in Hierarchy!

I am getting an error saying that' Discoverer connection is lost. Please contact your admin" when I am collapsing hierarchies. Did you ever encounter this kind of error ever? I have like 6 levels of hierarchies(date hierarchy, like yr,season, quarter etc)...So one hierarchy is Company ->Year and other one is Year->Season->Quarter so on.... So when I collapse one by one level its ok... but when i do it all at once from the top, i.e Company, it loses connection!!
Is it some kind of a bug???
Thanks a lot,
rocky

Hi
Well it does sound like the hierarchies are to blame, although to be honest with you I've seen Discoverer losing its connection for something far less trivial than that. The most common reasons for losing a connection are network issues and being out of memory either on the Discoverer client or on the server. I'd suspect that memory is an issue.
Now, your second issue relates to the use of those hierarchies. Are they perhaps date hierarchies as opposed to item hierarchies? If so, whilst they are really quite clever, they do tend to cause more problems than they solve. Personally, if you are using date hierarchies, I would create a materialized view or table of your fiscal time and then create one folder for each date in your folder. I'd drop the Oracle date hierarchies in a heart beat but this is easier said than done.
Does this help?

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.

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?

Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View Error

I have CR 2008 report with SP1. The report has a sub report. The main report is based off of a BV but the sub report is using an ODBC connection. When I try to update the ODBC connection I recieve an error message telling me that:
Quote:
"Converting from a Business View connection to a non-Business View connection is not supported."
I am do not want to update the BusinessView just the ODBC connection for the subreport.

Hi Michael,
When you try to update both the Business views and ODBC connection you will be prompted for those errors.
You need to break the link in the report and update the connections individually.
Thanks,
Naveen.

What can I do? It is a complex report that I don't want to take the time and energy to rewrite.
Thank You for any answers.

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.

How in Discoverer 4i viewer (Web) to set the size of the Chart(Graph)?

Hello all,
How in Discoverer 4i viewer (Web) to set the size of the Chart(Graph) by default?
Thanks very much for any help.
Dmitriy Zhabrovets

Hi,
I had a look and don't ask me why but it seems that you can't add extra rectangles in a sub table. But weirdly, it seems possible to add tables.
I mean you can't add a rectangle using
app.activeDocument.textframes.tables.tables.cell.insertionpoint.rectangles.add
//remove any reference, that's conceptual at this time.
The idea I had at the first place but put aside cause to its heaviness is to cheat.
Instead of adding the rectangle, we are going to copy & paste it.
So let's keep all the things you need (rectheight & rectwidth).
But this time, let's use
var oRect = app.activeDocument.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[0,0,rectheight,rectwidth]});
//You may need to use app.activeDocument.pages[x]... if you have a multi pages doc.
app.select(oRect);
app.cut()
app.select(oInsertionPoints.item(-1));
app.paste();
heavy but it works.

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
Michael

I can't logon to Discoverer 3i Viewer

Computer config:
Window 2000 Server
Oracle 9iAS (include Discoverer 3i VIEWER and Server)
Another computer config:
Window 2000 Server
Oracle 8iDS (8.1.6)
Error occur when I try to log on to Discoverer 3i Viewer. The error message is:
Authentication Failed.
(You do not have access to any End User Layer tables)
Therefore, I downloaded 'Discoverer Administration Edition 3.1.36 for Windows NT' to install it in Oracle 8i DS so that I can create 'End User Layer'.
The Oracle DS and the Discover 3i need to be installed in the same Directory(c:/oracle/oracle81). But, The Oracle Installer of the discoverer forbid to doing that. The error Message is:
The location specified, "D:\Oracle\Oracle81", is already in used as an Oracle home for "Oracle 816 Production"
It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'
If I try to install the discover 3i in different oracle home. The following error message appear:
Oracle Discoverer does not support multiple installation and therefore cannot be installed on "OraHomeDiscover". It can only be installed on OraHome81.
What do I need to do so that I can run the 'Discoverer Administration Edition'? Do I need to use Discoverer 4i for oracle 8.1.6?

Discoverer will be officially supported on Win2000 Servers with version 4.1.37, due out with 9iAS 1.0.2.2.

Discoverer Team

Missing "View|Application Navigator" and "View|Connection Navigator"

My default Oracle JDeveloper 10g Early Access 10.1.3.34.12 is missing "View|Application Navigator" and "View|Connection Navigator" from the View toolbar. Am I simply missing an additional installation or do I not have something configured correctly?
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the answer, that's exactly what it is. I'm new to this environment and had it installed for me, hence I didn't see the differences at the download choosing time. Thanks again.

LOV in Discoverer Desktop Edition 4.1 Vs. LOV in Discoverer 4i Viewer

I have developed an LOV for a parameter in Desktop Edition 4.1 which allows the user to either select a value from the LOV or enter a parameter from the keyboard. It is working perfectly.
However, when this same workbook is executed by the Discoverer 4i Viewer, it will only allow the user to select from the LOV and does not let the user enter any value from the keyboard.
I have not found any entries in metalink regarding this problem. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
John

Hi John
I'm afraid this is a feature of Discoverer Viewer. The same "feature" has been carried through into 9ias and 10g so I'm sorry to say that upgrading will not help you either.
The newest Discoverer though, codenamed Drake, does allow this and you can either select from a list of values or you can key your own value.
By the way, the new Discoverer also does not force you to enter any value. If you omit a value in a Drake parameter, Discoverer will assume you want all values.
Now the bad news is that Drake has not been released yet. You should expect to see an announcement sometime in January though.
Hope this helps
Regards
Michael

How do I view connection status of attendees in version 9

I have tried Pod options but there is no option to view connection status as described in this article:http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2009/03/voip_best_practices/index.php

This feature was dropped in Connect 8. Since it only showed the selected level of connectivity for the users (LAN by default) it never really gave any valuable feedback about the actual connectivity level.

Discoverer Web Viewer and Charts

I did a search in the forum and saw no previous discussions on this subject. So, here's the question. I've developed a worksheet with a graph in Discoverer Plus 4.1. Now the question is how does one display this graph on the Discoverer 4i viewer (Web viewer)? I've looked under Presentation and it has "Chart Area" clicked ON, but the chart doesn't show. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kerry Brannen

Thanks Andy, you've answered the question (I think). I created the chart with the DeskTop version and figured it was only logical that since everything else created in Desktop version is viewable on the web, then the chart should be as well or why else would Oracle have put it there?
So the question is, how do I access the "Discoverer Plus Applet" and create a chart? Is there documentation?
Thanks,
Kerry
P.S. We had already set the <argument name="show_graphs">true</argument> .
