Discoverer Admin Installation

I have a Oracle 8i on my NT 2000 machine and try to add Discoverer Admin 3.1 on top of it. I tried couple times and created 3 Oracle Homes and still get error message "Oracle Discoverer does not support multiple installations, .... It can be installed on 'OraHome81'". As OraHome81 is for the server, what can I do now? Is there any tech note talking about Installation of Discoverer and how to be installed with Oracle Server. Thanks in advance.

There is a technical Note: 123675.1 available via Oracle Metalink (http://metalink.oracle.com) that describes how to install Discoverer where you have multiple Oracle homes.

Discoverer Admin installation error

Hi,
I am getting this error when installing Discoverer Admin (Business Intelligence Tools 10g 10.1.2.0.0) on my win XP sp1 workstation. It says that it cannot install onto an existing oracle home where oracle database 9.0 or higher database is installed. I do have 9i client and 10g client installed on my workstation. Is there anyway around this without having to uninstall everything?
Thanks,

Hey.
I finally solved my own problem. It's not exactly the most elegant way, but I had to trick the installer into thinking this was a fresh install. under c:\program files\oracle\inventory there is a install.platform file. I changed the value in it to some other version from 912. The oui then complained that the inventory could not be found and would not move forward. I then went back and changed the value back to 912 and then clicked next in the oui again. This time it thought this was a fresh installation and I was able to specify another inventory directory. which I did. After that, the install went through. But I did not exit the oui when I modified the file.
Hope this helps others.
Thanks,

when I try to install Discoverer Administrator in Oracle Home (client 9i) , it can not be installed because show following message:You should install Discoverer Administrator in a new ORACLE_HOME (not in an existing one). Please try this and see if it works.
If I try to install in other Home (with other directory), it indicates that it can only be installed in Oracle Home. I have trying to install manully each product but it fail when I try to install Discoverer Admin.You should not be prompted to install this tool in an existing ORACLE_HOME -- What is the message you are getting?

Discoverer Admin exit without message!

In the step 2 of Discoverer Admin Load Wizard (when creating EUL)i can select database link previous created. But after link is selected Discoverer Administrator exits without message.
Discoverer version is 9.0.2.0.0 and database link is betwen two 9.2.0.1.0 databases (from DB1 to DB2). Discoverer is placed at server mashine where DB1 is installed. Load wizard with database link with database version 7.2 works OK.
What to do?

Re-scheduling workbooks from Discoverer Admin

Hi All,
We have Discoverer integrated with Oracle Applications.
When logging into Discoverer Admin as EUL owner, it is possible to re-schedule workbooks scheduled by other users by navigating to 'Tools->Manage Scheduled Workbooks...' and clicking on the 'Edit' button for a workbook. It allows to change date/time of when the report should be executed and successfully updates the Discoverer meta-data tables in the EUL. However, the dbms job associated with the workbook is not re-scheduled, so the report is executed at the original time.
I am not very familiar with the Discoverer, but my feeling is that it is not properly configured in our installation. Any advise on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Denis

Hi,
You can move the workbooks by using a Discoverer export/import from Administrator.

Install discoverer admin and desktop

Hi All,
We have already installed discoverer 11.1.1.4 on linux. We have two url one for discoverer viewer and other for discoverer plus.
Now i need to generate a resport do i need to install discoverer admin and desktop.
I am new to discoverer Do i need to install discoverer admin and desktop separately or else we can use the same setup.
Please help.
My env details .
OS : OEL 5
Apps: EBS 12.1.3
db verion : 11.2.0.3
Discoverer version : 11.1.1.4
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
You need to install Disco Admin to create and maintain an EUL. Discoverer Administrator and Desktop are part of the same installation and you should always install both. The software download is available from the Oracle Discoverer 11g Fusion Middleware (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/downloads/index.html). You install Oracle BI Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Administrator 11.1.1.3.0 onto Microsoft Windows.

Importing PL/SQL function in Discoverer Admin

Gents
I'm trying to import a PL/SQL function. In fact this functions is in a package.
When I try to import in Discoverer Admin, I'm not able to see this package and the function.
It's possible import a function from a package in Discoverer?
Must a grant some privilege in package or create a synonym?
Regards
Honorio

Hey,
I have a similar problem.
I created a PL/SQL Function which i registered in my EUL. Bun when I'm using this function on an item in a custom folder, this custom folder disappeared from my Discoverer Plus list of folders? When I delete the item which uses this function the folder shows up in my Discoverer Plus list of folders.

Cannot See Database Tables in BI Discoverer Admin

Hello All -
My organization recently upgraded to Discoverer 10g from Discoverer 4i. In 10g the EUL is called BIEUL and in 4i it was called V9EUL. During the upgrade, all the Business Areas belonging to V9EUL in 4i were assigned to BIEUL in 10g. I'm not sure how our DBA accomplished this part of the upgrade.
When I'm logged into BI Discoverer Admin (version 10.1.2.00.00) I am unable to see the database tables in order to create folders from them. For instance, today I want to create a brand new Business Area so I click on File...New to start the Load Wizard then I click on "Create a new business area" then I specify to load the meta-data from the on-line dictionary and click the "Next"button. In the next window (Load Wizard: Step 2) I can see all the available users as I expect so I check the user I want and click 'Next".
Here's the point where the problem arises. In the window "Load Wizard: Step 3" I see the user I chose in the "Available" list on the left, but when I click on + to see the tables owned by the user it does not expand and I cannot go any further.
I experienced the same thing when I try to add a "New Folder from Database" to an already-existing Business Area.
Many Thanks in Advance,
Patrick

At first it sounds like it's a simple matter as the EUL owner not having the rights to see the tables / views pointed to by the EUL (grants).
However, the part about the DBA where you say all BAs belonging to V9EUL in 4i wre assigned to BIEUL in 10g, I hope the DBA didn't do anything fancy. All the EUL manager should have to do is fire up the new version of Disco Admin 10g and it will see that the existing EUL is a version 4 one and will ask if you want to upgrade. Saying yes, you will get an entirely new EUL, tables, etc. created pointing to the same database tables / views as your still existing v4 EUL is.
So you'll have 2 EULs - a v4 one and a v10 one as it's not a destructive upgrade.
Is it possible the DBA hacked something? - or just a grants problem to the new EUL owner?

How to find out the updates using query which has done in Discoverer Admin

Hi All,
I have done some updates in Discoverer Admin like add field in some folders and rename...I want to know the updates which has been done in the front end using sql query.
Could any one please tell me is there any query to find out the updates in Discoverer admin.
Thanks,
Kamal

Hi Siddarth,
Solution :
        1) Go to SE16 - Table Name : EKBE (PO History)
        2) Field - BUDAT (Posting Date)
        3) Transaction event Type:
                         - 1 (Only GR's )
                         - 2 (Both GR and IR)
        4) We can fetch both GR Numbers and also PO Numbers for which IR has not been done if transaction event - 1.
In addition to MB5S, you can try this also...

Complexity of PL/SQL in Discoverer Admin

Hi,
Read you can register PL/SQL in Discoverer Admin - how complex can this be?
Something comparable to the stored procedures in SQL Server?
I guess it returns only one value as the output?
Thanks!

As Rod mentions, it's a question of if you want to or not.
One method I have used with this idea in mind, is when wanting to set up a table to report against, dependent upon a worksheet that does nothing more than take a user's input and runs the process.
For example, you may need to build a table - for whatever reason - at the point a user runs the worksheet. Then the process runs, table built and the user goes to another worksheet to see / query the results.
I've always had the function call a pl/sql script (and make sure you have the autonomous transaction statement as specified by Rod), you just register the function in Disco and all works fine.

Not able to connect through Application user name in Discoverer Admin

Hi,
I created an EUL with all privileges it needed. I created a business area from that EUL and shared it to Application User name through giving access privileges (from Security and Privileges). When I am trying to login through the Application User name in Discoverer Admin it is giving the error like:
Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applcations database: invalid username/password.
Earlier I did in another instance it worked fine but now itself I am facing the problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Arun Babu R.

Preventing Discoverer Admin replacing underscores with spaces on refresh

Hello,
On refreshing a Business Area, Discoverer Administrator will automatically replace underscores with spaces for any new items/folders to be incorporated. I would prefer this not to happen i.e. the names should retain the underscores. I haven't found any way to do this from within Discoverer Admin - are there some registry settings that I can tweak or is it just not possible,
Thanks in anticipation,
Kevin.

Hi,
Well, you could try using a eul_trigger$refresh_new_column trigger. I must admit I have never tried this, but the details are in the documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13916_04/appendix_b.htm#sthref2417).

Hi Tamir,
As i was having only discoverer plue in 11i i can only export using disc.admin.
Disc plus dont have options for this
THanks a lot for your tip..It worked
I selected
Refresh The Object
and "By Identifier"
I checked only take ownership if original owner can not be found
and it worked fine
I have few more clarifications
1)
When I click on =Refresh the object
there is a check box at the bottom says: Preserve Display Related Properties
Should I check it or not
2)
Also when I open the workbook under my name
workbook was opening only with this option->
Open the workbook in the current database account
If the workbook is asking if i need to substitute a join, I may need to do that right?
thanks
kp
