Discoverer Administrator protocol
Hi,
Anyone knows which protocol is used between Disco Admin (I guess it's the same for Desktop) and the DB server ??
This comes from our security department immediately followed by «Can it be securized ??».
I presume TCP/IP is the protocol (not sure tough) and have no clue whatsoever about the «securizing» part.
Thanks
Hi,
Disco Admin and Desktop use TNS (Oracle Net Services) to connect to the server. The network protocol e.g. TCP/IP used is defined in the tnsnames.ora file. See the Oracle Net Service Admin guide for more detail.
You can use a firewall to control access to the server and Oracle Advanced Security to secure the connection between the client and the server.

How to get the Report Names which use a Folder in Discoverer Administrator?
Hello All,
How could I get which Reports in discoverer Desktop are using a particular folder in Discoverer Administrator?
Or
How to know which Discoverer Desktop Reports are being derived from a folder in Discoverer Administrator?
We have Oracle 9i DS installed and have a Custom Folder Created in the Administrator, and want to know exactly which Reports/Workbooks are using that folder?
Thanks in advance :)Well Abhijit,
The eul workbooks have been created by oracle specifically to analyze your eul and make your work easier!. So, I prefer this way to view the information about my eul in a report format in the desktop. Try it! you may like it.
If you want you can follow these steps:
Run the script called eul5.sql located in <discoverer_installation_path>\discoverer\util in the user who own the eul in the database.
Then import the eul5.eex file located at <discoverer_installation_path>\discoverer\ in the discoverer administrator.
Then login into desktop and open the reports in the database, you can see a report called[b] EUL Workbook Management. Open that and goto the sheet named Workbook Dependency - Folders & Items Lookup. I think it the last but one worksheet in that workbook.
Hope it helps you! -
Creation of a Custom Folder in Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition
Hi
Could anybody help me in solving this problem while creating a Custom Folder in Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition ?
My Requirement is :
I Connect to EUL_US/EUL_US@<HOST_STRING> under Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition.
I selected a Pre-Defined Business Area Eg. General Ledger
There i created a Custom Folder by Name Test Custom Folder
The Query which i used in my Custom Folder is
SELECT NAME FROM GL.GL_JE_BATCHES
When i Used this Query it says Table or view does not exist.
The Folder is getting created but without a Query.
I am not able to preceed further.
Any Help would be appreciated
Regards
Nakul VenkataramanHi Nakul, you may be running into a problem with the sql for your custom folder. For some reason Discoverer Admin will allow you to create a custom folder with sql, but then if you change it and it has any advanced sql, i.e. grouping sets, analytic functions etc., you probably receive an error.
An option is to create a view using the same sql and create a folder from the database using this view.
Hope this helps.

Using Discoverer Administrator 11.1.3.0 against an Apps EUL. Logged in with an Apps User ID with administrator privileges. When I export the EUL using File | Export "The entire End User Layer", I am shown all of the objects that will be exported. Everything is listed, including all of the registered functions.
However, when the export completes and I am shown a list of the objects exported, the only registered function shown as being exported is END_OF_TIME. Checking the export file verifies that this indeed is the only function definition that was exported.
If I start the export again -- logged in as the same user -- and choose "Selected objects in the End User Layer" , choose "Functions", and select all of the registered functions, they ARE all exported.
Why is this happening?Try

What privileges should be grant to Discoverer Administrator
Hello,
We are going to install Discoverer 4i to access our 10g database. What privileges do I need to grant to the Discoverer Administrator? Thank you.Hi,
At the very least the Discoverer Administrator should have Administration privileges with Format Business Area, Create/Edit Business Area and Set Privilege. This can be given directly to the user or through a role/responsibility.
Hope that helps,

Refresh EUL in Oracle Discoverer Administrator using command line
Hi there! I wonder if there is a way of refreshing the EUL business folders of Discoverer Administrator using a command line, so that it could be done through a batch file process.
Many thanks in advanceWhat do you mean by refreshing the EUL business folders? The definitions of the EUL are updated whenever a workbook/worksheet/business area/hierarchy/ any other object inside the EUL is changed/added/deleted. Also, the contents of your EUL are updated whenever summaries are refreshed (either manually or on a schedule), or when scheduled workbooks run and their contents stored inside the EUL.
Thanks

Oracle Discoverer Administrator 'OUT OF MEMORY'
Hi ,
I'm trying to include a case statement in the custom folder based on a query.when I include the case statement in the SQL query and click Validate SQL button i get error 'out of memory'.
can anyone plz help me with this.
thanksHi
The Out of Memory is not 100% related to the amount of memory you have on your machine. There is an internal cache that it is working with and this is controlled from within your system registry. These settings can be found in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\Oracle\Discoverer 10\Application and they are called MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem and these are typically set to the amount of memory on your PC or even higher where 512000000 equates to 500 MB. I have rarely seen making a change to these have any impact but you can always try.
As a test, try using the Admin command line interface to do what you want. I have seen exports, as mentioned by Russ, fail using the application but work just fine when called from the command line.
You seem to be saying when you run the query yet in your question you say running in Discoverer Administrator. You cannot run a query in Administrator so are you saying that you get this issue when running the query in Desktop or in Plus? For Desktop you can try altering the MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem, whereas for Plus these will have to be changed in the pref.txt for the application server.

What option to select to install "Discoverer Administrator"
Hi, I installed Infrastructure 10g. Then I installed Business Intelligence and selected two options, discoverer and report services. Now, I cannot have "Discoverer Administrator" option in the Start Menu. I have Plus and Viewer working.
Pls tell me which option I need to select in order to have "Discoverer Administrator" in My PC.
Or tell me what I should keep in mind while installation so that I can have "Discoverer Administrator".Hello
You need to download and install Discoverer 10g Developer Suite in order to use the Admin edition. So far you have only installed the web components.

Export workbooks not sharded with the oracle Discoverer Administrator
Can anyone tell me how to export workbooks which are not shared with the discoverer administrator.
When I use the command line dis4adm.exe /connect userid/password@db /export destination / workbook "workbookname' it toes only funtion for workbooks shared with the discoverer administrator.
Any advice will be highly appreciated. ThanksHi Marc
The only mechanism to export Discoverer workbooks using the 4.1 Administrator tool is to use the command line.
However, there are severe restrictions on functionality. These are:
- Only the owner of a workbook can export a workbook. Discoverer administrators do not have the power to export end user workbooks, therefore user accounts need to be temporarily granted administration privileges during the process
- There is no mechanism to export “ALL” workbooks for a user account. They have to be named explicitly on the command line
- Workbooks must be exported on a user by user basis because there is no mechanism to export workbooks for multiple users at the same time
Drop me an email because I have a white paper that explains in detail how to export workbooks in 4.1 using the Administrator tool.
I hope this helps
Best wishes
