Discoverer and OWB

Hi All,
I'm sorry about my question, but I'm new in Oracle's BI World. I'm trying to create a data warehouse with OWB and then access it with Discoverer. I created my data warehouse without problems. But I can´t export it to Discoverer. How can I do this? I already read some materials about, but no one like "HOW TO". Anybody can help me?
Best regards,
JV.

I do this a lot and it is really quite easy, though maybe not the most intuitive. Assuming you are using OWB9.2 then you need to create a Collection for the Discoverer business area in OWB. You then use the Project->MetadataExport->Bridge menu option and then select Discoverer as the destination product. After setting parameters for the Discoverer destination EUL it creates a Discoverer export file. You then just import this in the Discoverer Administrator.
If you are using OWB9.2, then look at Part V, section 22 of the OWB9.2 User Guide (particularly the section "Exporting Metadata to Oracle Discoverer 4i and 9i").
Regards
Dave

  • Disco 10g discoverer and OWB

    Currently We plan to use disco 10g discoverer (web based). We have installed oracle application server but for some reason we cannot have portlet right now. so my question is without running lineage.sql(because we cannot get OWB database DAD, default one is portal30), can we still maintain hierarchy which generated from OWB? Or whether we can get someway to know OWB DAD?
    thanks....

    Database Providers must be registered in OAS, under the "Providers" Tab.
    You'll be able to maintain your hierarchies, no worries!

  • 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.

    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]

  • 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?

    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.

    I figured out that the OWBRT_SYS had been created incorrectly. When I dropped the user and recreated the repository, this problem disappeared.

  • 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.

  • Discoverer and OLAP

    Do discoverer 9i support oracle 9i OLAP? If I don't want to build OLAP application with BI bean. Because it is too complicated. How can I do that?
    Thanks
    Winson

    Hi
    I'm not sure if I can answer all your questions, but this is how we do it. We tried BI beans and found it to complicated to start with, so we decided to use discoverer instead as a start.
    I don't think that Discoverer uses the "OLAP part" on the server (this is not my strongest field), but it has the same functionality with drill-down and summaries (creates materialized views or summary tables) we like the functionality we have seen so far. There are also good documentation on these pages (tech-net) with User guide for all the discoverer applications.
    Hope this helps. Search tech-net and read about Discoverer and see if this is something you could use.

  • Discoverer and multiple databases

    I tried putting out a posting earlier but had a weird messsage so I am trying this again. I apologize if it is duplicated. I am working on a project where we will be installing Discoverer to be used with 20 databases. There are two scenarios we reviewing and I am looking for any further recommendations or advice. The first choice has us creating a Discoverer databases and creating a business area for each separate database via DB Links (most databases are on the same Unix box). The other scenario has us creating an EUL into one of the source databases and exporting the EUL schema and importing it into each of the other 19 databases on a regular basis pending any changes (The databases schemas are suppose to remain identicle). I look forward to any suggestions or advice. Thanks!

    I am using version Oracle 8.1.6. I have not made too much progress on this as I have been trying to research what will be best in the long run. Given my scenario ... it looks as if I will need to create an EUL in each separate database. The reason I might have to do this is because the schemas are all the same yet the data can be different or the same in certain areas. Primary/Unique keys would b a problem along with possible duplication of data. The people using the reports will want up to date reports on the drop of a hat so I would not have time to move to a shared database which may work in your scenario. One last thing I found is that using one database for Discoverer and using DB_LINKS to create your business areas can cause confusing with the naming scheme. If you have a table with the same name in two databases... Discoverer will have the original name of the table with the first business area but the second will have a 1 appended to the end of the name and so on pending how many duplicate names you have in your EUL. The numbers assigned at the end are in order but when you rename your folders .. it does the same thing. So unless you rename folders in the same exact order you create your business areas... you will have various digits at the end of your folder names and nothing consistent. I am still researching and will be happy to share what ever I continue to find out. Thanks for your response.. always nice to get other view points.
