Discoverer Plus for OLAP

Hi....
Our company had installed Oracle Application Server 10g and using Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18) and also creating the EUL as the data storage/mapping for our workbooks/reports.
Our company has a plan to use Discoverer Plus for OLAP and already installed the discoverer catalog.
How to create a connection using option "Connect To" OracleBI Discoverer for OLAP ?
What is the diffrence between Discoverer Catalog and Analytic Workspace?
What tools that we must use to create data for OLAP (to create some dimensions, measures etc)?
Any Help will be appreciated
Thanks,
Handoko

Hi Handoko,
You can establish a connection from Discoverer Plus for OLAP, by specifying the database connect information in the form of HOST:PORT:SID (e.g MyServer.com:1521:orcl10g).
The Discoverer OLAP catalog is used to store end-user reports and is installed and maintained using Application Server Control console. It allows you to install the catalog and authorize users to store reports in the catalog. The Analytic Workspace Manager is used to define your multi-dimensional model and load the data from source tables.
Mark Rittman provides some indepth documentation, have a look at the link below :

& Oracle’s info:

Hope this helps.

How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
for this].
also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
any quick answers greatly appreciate..
thx,

Hi,
That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.

The patch number for 10.1.2.3 is 5983622.
Currently it is available only for Win32 and Solaris. I'm told that it will be available on other ports sometime in April.
Also a word of warning - 10.1.2.3 does not contain the fixes released for 10.1.2.2 in CP4, CP5 and CP6. There will be a one-off patch released shortly for 10.1.2.3 containing these fixes.

Discoverer software for self-study CDs

Hi.
My company bought two Discoverer courses from Oracle University: Oracle 9iAS Discoverer Plus for end Users(1 CD) and Discoverer Administration(1 CD).
I want to download the software in order to follow the course properly, but I am not sure what exactly to downlad for the End User and the Administration course.
There are many options in the download section (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/discoverer/index.html), so I need to know wich is the right software to download for each course. Do I need to download the 9iAS also ? Can't Discoverer run as a standalone tool ?
As you can see, I'm a Discoverer newbie, so any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
IAS needs for disco plus, but you can use disco in standalone mode with Admin and Desktop.
But as I see in the otn you can't donlowd IAS9i any more.
You can use disco 10g too, there no more difference between the two release.

Hi
After applying patch 18308493 (note 1632924.1) I was able to assign a candidate to a requirement. The LOV in the search candidate form now shows people and the organizations. In HR the organizations marked as Project Expenditure/Event Organizations need the Realted Organization populated with the orgs Operating Unit and the Resource Default with the global calendar (click Others).
Using PA jobs and HR jobs does work when using the PA job mapping.

Discoverer support for multiple hierarchies

Hi all,
is it true that Discoverer supports only a single hierarchy per Analytic Workspace dimension?
If this is true what is the recommended work-around:
- create an AW dimension per hierarchy?
- forget about analytic workspaces and take a ROLAP approach?
- other?
thank you in advance for any hints
Nikos

I'm not a discoverer user, so what I say might not apply, but in general it usually doesn't make sense to select members from multiple hierarchies. This would give end users of a report the ability to select values that don't accurately represent the total levels displayed.
I guess my questions would be:
a) what business value does picking dim values from multiple hierarchies serve?
and
b) it is possible in discoverer to simply not select any hierarchy and just choose the dimension values without one? Would that solve your problem?
I guess high level this doesn't sound like either a bug or non-functional support issue, it sounds more like intended functionality.
Let us know what your needs are! Maybe we can give a better answer if we know what business problem you are trying to solve.
Thx,
Scott

Very very urgent Discoverer reports for non oracle applications

Hi,
My client is using discoverer 10g with R12.He is using different non oracle applications like BRM Application (database is oracle only) for that they wants to develop discoverer reports.It is possible to integrate with non oracle applications with discoverer.
Can you please suggest me.It is very very urgent.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi
You're really not supposed to manage a non-Apps mode EUL and an Apps mode data within the same URL. Having said that, I have a hunch you just might be able to do it and there are 2 ways. You can either make the data available to user who login using E-Business Suite credentials or you can make it available to users who have database credentials. The first one is straightforward and you do it just like any other data. Let me give you some hints regarding the second method.
First of all I ahve not personally tried this and you may find that because Discoverer was initially set up in Apps mode that somewhere down the line it will make the suers connect this way. However, the following is worth a try.
I would a new schema in the Oracle E-Business database to manage the link to BRM and create a database link from this user to a user in the BRM database. You will also need to create user accounts within the database for anyone who needs to login and run BRM reports.
Next, I would create views in this new schema pointing at data across the BRM link, thus allowing Discoverer to think these are local objects.
In Discoverer Administrator, you would need to log in to Discoverer using the owner of the EUL - NOT using SYSADMIN or any of the other E-Business Suite accounts. You should log in with the Oracle Applications checkbox unchecked. You can now create new business areas on the BRM data. You should also be able to assign users to Discoverer privileges and users to business areas.
Using the same URL you would have Apps users connect using the E-Business Suite item on the drop-down for logging in and you would have BPM users choose the Business Intelligence Discoverer item.
Let me know how you get on

Installing BI Discoverer Plus for multidimensional OLAP ?

Hi there,
it seems I really need to ask for help after getting lost in the forest that Oracle Software is. I hope my question is not too bothersome to people on this forum. So here's the situation:
I have an Oracle 11g database on a CentoOS server, with OLAP option. I have created a simple star schema from my data and an analytical worksheet (although not without pain, there's another thread about that). Now I wish to access the OLAP data through a tool on my Windows XP workstation and be able to manipulate the data to create reports. My goal is to create a small demo to help convincing our client that OLAP reports is the way to go to play with their data, create custom reports, etc. In fact what I'd like to do is to play with the OLAP model like I used to a few years ago when I was using Business Objects as as client, I think they called it Universe Management or something. The thing is you get your model elements (measures, levels, attributes, etc) as icons in a palette and you can drag&drop them on a worksheet to dynamically create reports, crosstabs, etc. That was very nice and accessible to almost any user.
Now my question: what piece of Oracle software should I install on each machine to be able to do that ? I tried with Oracle Client BI Tools on XP but this seems to only include Discoverer "classic" or whatever, that only manipulates relational data. I think I need Discoverer "plus", but where is it located ? This is what I found on the website: "OracleBI Discoverer can be installed from the Oracle Business Intelligence CD". Well ok, but which CD ? There seems to be several of them, like Oracle BI EE, Oracle BI SE, Oracle BI SE One, Oracle BI Tools, etc. Additionaly do I really need to install a full-blown Application Server on the CentOS system to access Discoverer Plus ? This frightens me a bit, you know, I'm aiming for a small demo with two or three tables, I'd be thankful not to have to spend a whole week installing a web infrastrucutre for that.
Well this all looks somewhat confusing, so I thought I'd be better off asking those who know, hence my post. Again I hope this doesn't sound to bothersome.
Thanks for your help!
Christian

Hi Gareth and all,
in fact I have installed the "Oracle BI Tools" for windows (as_windows_x86_bi_tools_101202.zip) which give me access to
- Oracle Discoverer Administrator
- Oracle Discoverer Desktop
However according to the [Discoverer documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13917_03/1intro.htm] these are not the tools I'm looking for; as it says : "if you want to create new worksheets and analyze data from both relational and multi-dimensional data sources across the Web, you will use Discoverer Plus". As it seems, Discoverer Desktop only accesses relational data through an EUL, I really would like to play with my OLAP cube, because I'm intending to create a demo of what will eventually be a much larger OLAP system.
So I'm still desperately looking for Discoverer "Plus". From the page you indicate I had already installed not the full AS but the "Business Intelligence" CD, which is supposed to include Discoverer (as indicated in the 'Included" list). I did a "complete" install, however I'm still unable to locate anything ressembling Discoverer. I have Publisher, Dashboard, Delivers, Marketing, Disconnected Analytics... There's Answers that might be similar to Discoverer, but it looks like a whole different beast and much more demanding (like I'm not even able to figure out how to define a new data source). Well I was hoping to be able to view my tiny cube in a few clicks and "Discoverer Plus OLAP" looked like the right tool for that.
So the next step might be to install the full AS, however it'll take the whole week-end to merely download the 4 CDs. And will it include Discoverer PLus in the end, or am I getting to come back empty-handed again ? Well this is all getting a bit discouraging, please if anyone here knows a convenient way to end up graphically manipulating an OLAP cube and creating simple reports from it please advise ! :-)
Anyway thanks all for your support,
Chris

Hi Gillian
Does the graph plot area occupy all the space within the graph window? If not, that may explain why you are seeing the white space. You may also want to try and customize the graph portlet within Portal and adjust the graph size to see if that helps.

Discoverer and Compaq Tru64

I need to know whether or not Discoverer will run on Compaq Tru64. I heard that Oracle9iAS Discoverer Plus and Viewer simply does not run on Compaq Tru64! That this is because Compaq and Inprise, who develops the Visibroker component,can't agree on the license.
How can we state that 9iAS runs on Compaq Tru64, but a significant portion of it's ability (Business Intelligence) DOES NOT? We have a great 9iAS/Disco opportunity and need to get it running on Compaq. Are there any workarounds??? I need to know ASAP.

Hi ,
Follow the document, it will work.
