Discoverer and AIX

before i learn the product, i would like to know if it is posssible to install discoverer 3i and 9AS 1.0.2 on AIX ?

Ben,
I could be wrong on this.. But it appears to me that Solaris and NT are the only versions that are compatible. Consulting or Oracle Sales could better anser this..

Differance between Discoverer and BI Discoverer

hi guyz ,am new to ebs and discoverer,one question always bother me what is differance in discoverer and BI Discoverer,according to my understanding discoverer is separate tool where we develop report then link it to BI and BI Discoverer is EBS builtin tool.if am right so what both r oracle product ,if it's also true why we need both ,why not single is enough.thanx

Hi,
There is no difference. Discoverer is shipped with eBS but it is the same tool (though an older version) as the standalone Discoverer. eBS is also shipped with an predefined EUL and some reports which are integrated into some of the eBS menus. You can write your own reports and create your EUL and add the reports to the menus.
There are 4 Discoverer tools. Discoverer Plus, a web based report writing tool. Discoverer Viewer a web based report viewing tool. Discoverer Desktop, a windows based report writing tool and Discoverer Administrator used for managing the EUL.
You need all these tools to use Discoverer with eBS and they should be downloaded separately from eBS to ensure you have the latest versions.

SAP SRM Prod with Oracle DB and AIX 5.3 Performance Issue.

Hi Basis Gurus,
Today my SAP PRD system all of a sudden was running slow and users had difficulties executing TCodes as it took minutes before the screen appeared.My system is SAP SRM 4.00, Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 and AIX 5.3.
From Basis point of view , we noticed that all the work process were hanged due to RFCs' occupying it.Couldnt investigate further on the system as we needed to restart asap because users needed to log on. A quick check on SICK shows no errors.What we managed to find out is that we needed to check this parameter below and set it accordingly:-
rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp:-
Definition
Number of work processes kept free for other users.
Use
This parameter is used to reserve a number of dialog work processes for dialog mode. It prevents parallel RFCs from occupying all the processes.
The parameter rdisp/wp_no_dia specifies the absolute number of dialog work processes.
Unit: number of dialog work processes
Default value: 1
Example
If 10 dialog work processes are configured for the instance (rdisp/wp_no_dia = 10) and the parameter rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 3 is set, parallel RFCs can occupy a maximun of 7 dialog work processes. Three dialog work processes always remain free for dialog mode.
There are 20 DIA processes in our system, perhaps reserving a minimum of about 5 work processes for DIA users will be useful via the parameter.
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
When we went for a restart of the system we encountered another issue. Steps to the issue are as below:-
1) Did a proper shutdown of Oracle and SAP.
2) When we start using startsap script, it doesn't start DB so we started DB manually but listener was having problem
    so we stopped all.
3) We also did a cleanipc, it too throws below error:-
sidadm> cleanipc <systemno> remove
               exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program cleanipc because of the following errors:
               0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for cleanipc because:
               0509-136   Symbol memmove (number 106) is not exported from
               dependent module /usr/sap/sid/SYS/exe/run/libsapu16.so.
               0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
               'dump -Tv' command.
4) Also the Listener file has no contents,it's null file.
5) This is another error :-
    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /oracle/sid/112_64/bin/tnslsnr because of the following errors:
    0509-150   Dependent module /oracle/sid/112_64/lib/libttsh11.so could not be loaded.
    0509-101   The module has too many section headers
    or the file is damaged
The libttsh11.so file was empty dated 25th timestamp as below in PRD:-
-rw-rr    1 sid   dba               0 Nov 25 07:12 libttsh11.so
Further checking has let me to understand this is an Oracle Bug from this link:-
http://gavinsoorma.com/2009/12/11-1-0-6-clusterware-upgrade-to-11-1-0-7/
This Oracle bug only happens in an Upgrade time and how could this happen to my Production system during a restart process.
Also this system was restarted during the last weekend's maintainance window and it came up with no issues.
6) We copied over the libttsh11.so from our QA environment to PRD and did a Startup:-
-rwxr-x---    1 sid   dba        65967496 Nov 25 07:40 libttsh11.so (This is the copied over file from QA)
7) After Startup everything has been in order till now.
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before. Hope all the Gurus here could shed some light into my 2 questions as I am looking for positive answers.
Thank you.
Regards,
John

Hi,
Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
Question 1:
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.
Generate EarlyWatch report for more detailed view
Question 2:
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
Cause
The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
Solution
Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.

Hope this helps.

Tuning of SGA on Oracle 8.0.5 and AIX 4.3.3

Hi folks,
I have an AIX box running AIX 4.3.3 and Oracle 8.0.5.2.0. The original SGA settings are as follows:
shared_pool_size = 150000000
sort_area_size = 1024876
db_block_buffer = 126102
The SGA size then is:
Total System Global Area 1838467232 bytes
Fixed Size 47264 bytes
Variable Size 803287040 bytes
Database Buffers 1033027584 bytes
Redo Buffers 2105344 bytes
I changed the SGA settings to the following:
shared_pool_size = 768000000
sort_area_size = 512000000
The SGA size is now:
Total System Global Area 2227943584 bytes
Fixed Size 47264 bytes
Variable Size 214097920 bytes
Database Buffers 2013265920 bytes
Redo Buffers 532480 bytes
After this change was done, the system ran but the users had some problems running reports in JDEOneWorld.
I then downsize the SGA settings and altered the db_block_buffer to improve buffer cache hits with these settings:
db_block_buffers = 245760
shared_pool_size = 200000000
sort_area_size = 1048576
On restarting the database with the new values, I noted that the SGA size remained unchanged as below:
Total System Global Area 2278475936 bytes
Fixed Size 47264 bytes
Variable Size 264105984 bytes
Database Buffers 2013265920 bytes
Redo Buffers 1056768 bytes
I tried to increase the size of db_block_buffers to 327680 but encountered ORA-27123 when trying to startup the database. I did some searches in metalink and found an article saying that the SGA size cannot exceed 2GB on AIX platforms. (Doc ID: 114934.1). Therefore I resize the db_block_buffers back to 245760.
What puzzles me is why the SGA size does not reflect my latest init.ora settings? Does anyone have any idea on how I can get the SGA to reflect the updated values in the init.ora file?

I did a find and here are the files I got:

Now, exclude the files in the product, backup and archive directories (the pfile should be in the pfile directory), and that leaves us with:
49161 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 4118 Oct 11 11:22 /u01/app/oracle/admin/klb/pfile/initklb.ora
(Which is the file that I edited)
As I mentioned previously, my client is not prepared to perform an upgrade on both Oracle and AIX. As much as I would like to have them upgrade to the latest versions, it is just not possible.
Oracle 8.0.5 does not have spfiles, so there is no way for me to edit a spfile unless this is one of those undocumented tricks floating around.

I am having some problems trying to load balance with Oracle Forms, Discoverer and reports Oracle Application Server Release 10g (9.0.4.0.2) and I was wondering if you could help. Has any one ever got this to work consistently? We are an ERP product written mostly in forms (904) and are trying to implement are largest customer there performance issue so we need the load balancing to work.

I have more then half decent results with webcache as load balancer, but it still is a round robin (as mentioned before). This means that a session will not be transfered from one application server to the other once the session has been created.
So far I did not discover any benefits of a hardware loadbalancer over webcache, because (here it is again:) you are not able to transfer open sessions from one application server to the next. This has to do with the Oracle Forms architecture. In fact it is still client-server, only with the application server functioning as extra server ;)

Apps 11i, Discoverer, and Security

Just an FYI for those out who are having problems picking up Apps Security when trying to implement Oracle Discoverer on top of Apps 11i. We have struggled over the past six weeks to have Discoverer pick up Apps Security and have finally found a combination that works. If anyone else is having a similar problem and would like the details of our configuration, please e-mail me at [email protected]

Hi,
If you have an issue with Discoverer and security, your best option is to post a question in the Discoverer forum (Discoverer

Portal integration with OFA,OSA, Discoverer and Express

Dear All,
Is it possible to integrate OFA,OSA, Discoverer and Express into portlet or is there any other mechanism to fulfill those requirements?
null

David,
All the tools you mention can be integrated into Oracle9iAS Portal as portlets usind the Portal Development Kit. Check out the Oracle Portal Development Kit (PDK) forum for more information on how to do this.
The Discoverer team is working on some Discoverer portlets that should be available with Oracle9iAS Release 2 due later this year. I am not sure about OFA, OSA and Express.

Running Flash Player and Flex on HPUX and AIX

Hi
Issue: HPUX 11iv2 PARISC and Itanium and AIX 5.1 and 5.2
(PPC) are not listed in the systemj requirements of Flash Player.
And So affects the Flex SDK Applications?
Does this mean these OS are NOT Supported currently and FLEX
applications cannot run ont these OS browsers?
If no, if and when would Flex Applications be able to run on
HPUX and AIX systems?
This is major concern for choosing the Adoe's Flash
Player-Flex technologies for our big solutions, in Web RIA.
Thanks in advance, NG

Hi
Got answer for HPUX but seems like its half-baked, as there
are plugins for Macromedia Flash Player version 6 in Mozill and
Firefox 1.5 browsers on PA and itanium.
See links:

Lemme know if anyonw knows on the Flash v 8 or 9.

What are the DIFFERENCES between Discoverer and BI Publisher?

Hi,
I was asked by my manager to look into BI Publisher and give a report. Went through and the first thing that came to my mind was Oracle Discoverer.
I don’t see any difference between the 2. Both are end user reporting tools, , with basically the same functions and options, or AM I MISSING something here???
Surprisingly, both Discoverer and BIP are part of Oracle BI EE. So why have 2 products that basically does the same thing in BI EE??
I would appreciate if anybody can enlighten me.
Thanks & Regards,
CS

Hi
Well not really. Discoverer is an end user reporting tool, providing the ability to generate high end reports, typically with a chart and drillable table. BIP is targeted at the other end of the spectrum, where Oracle Reports sits. It has some disco like capabilities but its strengths lie in generating documents e.g. invoices, POs , letters, listing reports, etc. It can also generate electronic formats, EFT, EDI, XML, etc.
In its standalone flavor, it comes as a server component, managing users, report security, scheduling, real time reports, etc.
So, it overlaps a little with Disco, it overlaps far more with Oracle Reports. It the strategic operational reporting solution going forward, its bundled with BIEE. BIEE being the Oracle BI product going forward. I dont think you'll find Disco shipping with BIEE.

Install Discoverer AND Portal in the same Middletier Instance

Hallo,
when installing AS 10.1.2 i have several install options.
When choosing BI / Discoverer i have no Portal in the middletier after the installation finished.
I could install another middletier instance with using the portal option but i want to have Portal installed as component in the existing middletier.
How can i achive this ? (install a single componant into an existing middletier)
Thanks,
Jochen

You cannot do that. You have to do a fresh install of 10.1.2.0.2 and choose Business Intelligence and Forms install type. This install type provides you the ability to install both Discoverer and Portal in the same Oracle Home. Seems like you installed Discoverer from BI CD, which gives you the ability to just install Discoverer. Instead use the EE download or Oracle Application Server main CDs from the CD pack.

Discoverer and Oracle 9i Olap Option

Hello,
I have a question regarding Discoverer and OLAP option in Oracle 9i. Is it required to buy OLAP Option
with Oracle9i when using 9iAS Discoverer or can I use it without this option?
As I know Oracle BI Beans make use of 9i OLAP Option and Discoverer Graphs use Graph Component of BI
Beans, so how this situation concerns OLAP Option (I haven't found any information that OLAP Option is required to use Discoverer)?
Regards,
Aleksander Miler

Hi,
Oracle OLAP is a multidimensional database on the top of the Oracle 9i database. It works like Oracle Express(MOLAP server).
Anyway, you don't need to install Oracle OLAP option when you use Discoverer.

Difference between "Oracle9iAS Discoverer" and "Oracle9iDS Discoverer"?

What is the difference between "Oracle9iAS Discoverer" and "Oracle9iDS Discoverer"? Thanks!

9iAS is the application server. It is a bundle of software, one component of which is the Discoverer server.
9iDS is the development software. Again, it is a bundle of software, one component of which is the Discoverer EUL administration tool.
9iDS also contains a Windows-only Discoverer client, should you wish to use Discoverer in client-server mode (eg., for your power-power users or for development of very complex reports).
In order to use Discoverer effectively you need to install 9iAS on the server (twice!) and 9iDS on the Discoverer administrator's machine. In this configuration, regular users need nothing more than a modest PC with a decent web browser.

32 bit version of Oracle 9i for HP-UX. and AIX

Is it possible to download the 32 bit version of Oracle 9i for HP and AIX? The partner download site only has the 64 bit versions available.

Hi. If you will check the product lifecycle area on Metalink you will find that there will be no Oracle9i 32 bit for HP-UX or AIX. There is a document there that basically says these platforms will no longer be supported as part of Oracle's strategy to keep current with all the hardware vendors moving to 64 bit.
