Discoverer and HR Apps

Has anyone ever installed Discoverer into Oracle's HR Apps database or were you forced to use DB links from a separate database. I am about to set a scenario as such up but need to determine the best path. This next question is for the Discoverer Team...if you can install into a HR database.... is there any case scenarios that could give examples of such. This way I can show the group I am working with successful installations. Some debate such a method however securing the data from a link could get very complex so that is why I am looking into installing Discoverer into an HR database if possible. Thanks!!!

Joseph,
We are implementing Discoverer 3i in an apps mode at our client site. We decided to go with Noetix views instead of Oracle BIS mainly because of 2 reasons. One, Noetix Views comes with a very good help file and secondly Oracle BIS does not have Cross functional whereas Noetix has cross functional views. Advantages of BIS is it comes with the APPS and does not have an additional money factor involved. Also BIS views are more extensive and support all the Oracle Applications modules, as compared to Noetix.

Discoverer and Oracle apps

Can someone pls tell me how different the resulting output can be when connected to an apps database as a native database user instead of an apps user in Oracle discoverer.
Cheers

Hi,
When you connect to an Apps database as a native database user your database session is not Applications aware and so although you can write Discoverer reports from the underlying database tables you cannot use any Applications security and many of the Applications views.
If you connect as an Apps user database session is initialised as the Apps user and therefore you can apply the same security that is applied in Applications. You can also use responsibilities to secure workbooks and business areas in your EUL. Users will only be able to see the organisations, segments etc that they can see in Applications. Also many views with built in security and packages for doing complex calculations will be available to you if you use an Apps mode EUL.
That's a brief overview to a complex topic.

Development Question Pertaining to Discoverer and Oracle Apps

Hi All,
I have a Disco Development question. First of all I am in an Oracle Apps environment.
Here is my situation. I received a specification to make sure our End User Layer has the capability to create a workbook
which has the following information in it:
1. Onhand inventory by lot information using the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Demand pegging (from the msc_demands table) associated with this onhand inventory.
3. Accounting cost information (GL_ITEM_CST information).
4. They also want more detailed item master information information (e.g. catalog descriptive element information and costing category).
Here is a solution to address this:
-Take existing inventory by lot views we have and use the the gmf_period_balances table in lieu of the mtl_onhand_quantity_details table. Within this same
view, add pegging information. This has been implemented in a development environment.
-Take existing costing views (using the component_cost_details table) and replace with the gl_item_cst.
-Take existing view associated with item detail information and make sure all catalog descriptive elements and costing category information have been added.
My next main dilemma for this problem is to address the best way to join these views in the Discoverer end user layer. Here are the approaches I see:
1. Encapsulate the item detail information with the onhand, period end with pegging view. Next, create a join with the costing view.
     pros: In my testing of this, the totalling works with extending item costing (item cost x onhand inventory).
     cons: Refresh times and scalability of this solution are concerning (consider a couple of people using this at the same time). Also, there is no nice
     way to join these two views (there is a n x m relationship between these two views). For instance, the costing calendar is used in the accounting costing
     view, and the general ledger calendar is used in the GMF_PERIOD_BALANCES table.
2. Abandon a two or three view approach. Create an uber view which encapsulates the onhand quantity, pegging, standard costing and item detail information.
     pros: A more simpler end user experience which should then allow for the totalling to work.
     cons: Very easy for an end user to obtain a result set which is part of a cartesian product (e.g. multiple general ledger periods are included in this workbook
     with multiple costing periods). Doubtful that this workbook would be refreshable.
3. Fan trap solution which would be some variation of onhand view being joined to an item details folder which is joined to the pegging details updated.
     pros: Without too much work, I am able to get this to work, except totaling.
     cons: Totaling.
     Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding the best approach.
     Thanks,
     Patrick

Hi,
Where you have complex joins I would always go for a single view. It keeps Discoverer simple and allows you to concentrate performance effort building the view. Generally you can build in conditions to stop a cartesian product.

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

Discoverer 11g and Oracle apps

I have setup discoverer and everything is working. When calling from oracle apps, I am getting this error:
Could not locate or parse the .dbc file /ebs02/prod/discoverer/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_2/config/Discoverer/Discoverer_asinst_2//corpdevpl200-fin_prod.dbc corresponding to the given Oracle Applications instance.
The problem is the double slash before the dbc file. Where would the trailing slash come from? Any advice is appreciated.

The issue was that the opmn.xml file had a slash at the end of the fnd_secure variable, I removed it and the double slash problem was resolved! I did not edit the script, this was from the install. Possibly not many people have integrated 11.1.1.7 discoverer with EBS and make the call to discoverer from menu in EBS, hence this has not been reported.

Is it possible to run Discoverer 10g non apps on an Applications database

Hello,
I am currently working with a customer whose Discoverer implementation was originally implemented with Discoverer 3.1.36 before apps mode existed.
It was installed on an Apps database (Financials).
It was then upgraded to 4 - still in non apps mode and all was ok.
However, now they need to upgrade to 10g, and rather than go through all the rewriting of their security etc (they have an awful lot of custom folders etc), they have asked if they can upgrade their Discoverer 4 non apps EUL to Disco 10g non apps.
However, during some preliminary testing, it seems that some views are not returning data - for example, fnd_flex_values_vl.
If they log in to the test env with Discoverer 4, the data returns with no issues, however with Discoverer 10g (and the same user) it does not.
They are logging in with the eul owner both times and this user contains both the Disco 4 and Disco 10 tables in its schema, so the grants etc are identical.
Is there a technical reason that whilst this worked at 4, it no longer does in 10?
Kind regards

What happens if they log in as an application user (rather than EUL owner) to retrieve data from these VL views ?

Application Server and Oracle Apps - basic doubts

Hello
I am pretty new to Oracle 9iAS and Oracle Apps 11i
Please clarify my basic doubts
Read that Oracle9i AS Components are :
- J2EE and Internet Applications (sub-components are Oracle HTTP Server, OC4J, Web services etc)
- Portals
- Wireless
- Web cache
- Business Intelligence
- E-Business Integration
Read that middle tier of Oracle Apps has following servers
- Web server
- Forms server
- Concurrent Processing server
- Reports server
- Discoverer server (optional)
- Admin server
My doubts are -
1. When Oracle Apps 11i is installed, Oracle 9iAS becomes the middle tier of it
Yes / No / Partailly ?
2. If partially, then only the 'J2EE and Internet Applications' component is installed
Yes / No / Partially ?
3. If partially, then Web server (Oracle HTTP Server) and Forms server come from Oracle 9iAS and Report Server, Concurrent Processing server, Admin server etc seperate components only specific to Oracle Apps 11i ?
Yes / No
Please let me know the answers with the explanation
Thanks a ton

Oracle Applications 11i uses Oracle 9iASv1 (10222, specifically) as the underlying midtier technology stack. The latest release of 11i (11.5.10), to be released this summer, can leverage specific features of Oracle AS 10g (904), namely SSO authentication and OID user management, Portal, and Discoverer. This capability will be backported to 11i releases 11.5.8 and 11.5.9, and is currently available now to limited customers through the Early Adopter program. When installed in this configuration, there is a 9iASv1 tech stack installed as part of the 11i installation, and a separate AS 10g installed for SSO, OID, Portal, Discoverer, and any other AS products the customer may be using. Aside from SSO, OID, Portal, and Disco, 11i does not yet run on other components of 9iAS or 10g (e.g., OC4J). Applications plans to move to 10g as the underlying tech stack in a future release.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

Adobe cc will not sign in, even through i am in both the web portal and desktop app.

i have three machine, a work station at the office and home as well as a laptop that is for going on locations. the problem is cc is working perfect on both workstations but just recently it will not activate on my laptop. i've tried just about everything. it gives me "sign in failed please make sure you are connected to the internet or change your time settings". I'm defiantly connected to the internet, i can browse my cc files online, download and install apps and even talk to adobe chat about this issue, everything but use the actual applications ie:photoshop, lightroom and aftereffects. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, logging out of cc on all machines, deleting my OOBE folder, my opm.db as well as checking certificates. nothing has worked. i can't sign in because it says my id is in use, and i cant deactivate because it times ou@@t on every atempt. please help point me in the correct directions as this has been very frustrating.

thanks john, did not know they could remote in, they were able to jump on and find the issue, all through i had wish they just went straight to looking at my system instead of having me jump through the same hoops i had already gone through. adobe gave me a case number, but i guess the number does not keep a record of the steps i've already taken to try and solve my issue, that said it doesn't matter my laptop is working and in time for my next job. re-leaves alot of stress.

Can't access photos in camera roll - camera and photo app crashes

Have iphone 4 with iOS 5.0. Took pictures but now I can't access any photo in the Camera Roll. When I now try to take a picture, Camera app crashes. If I try to access the Camera Roll via Photo App, it too crashes. Can't see the photos from iTunes either. Shows it as unknown data. Is there anyway to rebuild the photo library or remove a corrupted photo since I think that is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Officejet Pro 8600 e. Problem scanning from Scan and Capture App in Win 8.1

Officejet Pro 8600 e. New.
Installed on HP Envy 23 Touch. Running Windows 8.1.
Wireless set up. Prints fine. Problem is scanning from the HP Scan and Capture Software App in Win 8.1
Using Scan and Capture App I can scan photos fine. They come out clear. Scanning documents in GRAY has multiple bands/lines in gray over the entire page running vertically. Scanning documents in COLOR are fine.
Also, if I scan from the printer directly using the touch screen on the printer, the scan output is fine.
I did the Scan utilty to discover any errors and it did not show any. I think it's a software error. I am going to uninstall the HP Scan App and then reinstall. So, I will do the uninstall/reinstall and report back.
Also, I would like to know if there is a desktop program for scanning? I would prefer to use that instead of the Modern HP Scan and Capture App.
Thanks....
This question was solved.

Hi artrum,
I understand you've been experiencing issues scanning from your Officejet 8600 using the Windows Scan and Capture program. I will certainly do my best to help you with this!
From what you've explained, I believe you're correct, it does seem like it's an issue just with the Windows Scan and Capture program and as you've been able to scan from the front panel of the printer you definitely have the HP software installed. What I'd like to do is have you use the HP Scan software, where you should no longer run into issues.
To access the HP Scan software and be able to access it easily from your desktop I'd like you to follow the steps below:
1. Go to your start screen and just start typing File Explorer. You should be able to then open it to access your computer's files.
2. Then open Local Disk (C: ), followed by Program Files (x86), followed by HP, then HP Officejet Pro 8600, followed finally by bin.
3. In the bin folder you should see HPScan. You will want to right click on HPScan and go to Send To and then select Desktop.
Now you should see HP Scan on your desktop and be able to open it and scan through that application.
Hope this helps, have a great day!
