Discoverer and R12 question

We've just upgraded our DB to 11.2.0.1 and are now looking to upgrade to R12. We heavily use Discoverer. Having been to a few seminars, could someone confirm that the HR schema is pretty much the same, or will we find we will have to rewrite our HR Discoverer reports? From everything I've seen so far it has been the Finance modules which are dramatically different.
Thanks

Please see this link for the changes between 12.1.3 and the previous releases.

How to install 10g discoverer and integrate it with R12

Hi,
We want to install 10g Discoverer.
As we can't install discoverer alone, i have downloaded IAS 10g.
Which option i need to select to install Discoverer?
Thanks,

Hi,
I was able to install Discoverer 10g successfully.
Changed the profile options of Discoverer and tried to access it from R12.
But getting below error.

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.

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 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.
Regards,
Sangeun Ju

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 analytic workspaces

I have an analytic workspace. I would like to access data with discoverer, and I have created a business area with the relational views of the analytic workspace. I have a hierarchy date-month, and in my analytic workspace the date is calculated for both levels. My question is if discoveres is able to access data at month level without recalculating the data. In bi beans the data is not recalculated with an aggregation, but I don`t know if it is the same with discoverer.
Thanks
Laura

Hi Laura,
you have to register a summary table (view) within Discoverer, so Discoverer could use it, istead of aggregating the data again.
Hope this helps.... The AWM which will come sometime, will help you to create such summary views, which is a lot of manual work without a program.

Heiko

Difference between Discoverer and OBIEE and BI certification

Hello,
I want to know what is the major difference between Oracle BI discoverer and OBIEE as both are BI products. I also appreciate, if some body tell me the career paths and training of the Oracle BI products in both Administration and developer mode.
Is there any career paths in Discoverer, I went to Oracle certification page and for BI I found Sibel Certification. What is the major difference between Sibel technology and other BI products.
Kindly help me in this as You advice may led my future.
Regards,
Abbasi

Abbasi,
Well, I will take a stab at trying to answer all of your questions. Difficult to take a complex topic and talk about it in a few sentences.
Siebel is a software company that Oracle recently purchased. Google for "Siebel Systems" and look at the Wikipedia entry for more information about the original company. Siebel was focused on customer relationship management (CRM) software. So think sales and marketing. I would not really consider Siebel a true business intelligence software package, but it certainly can be considered to fall under the business intelligence area. Siebel would be a focused solution, just on CRM. Since we have no interest in Siebel here, I don't know how Oracle might end up integrating Siebel into its overall business intelligence solution. A lot of companies use the Siebel CRM software, but whether that is a viable for a long term career, I don't know. You are probably better off with a wider focus BI product to work with, long term, is what I am thinking. But that is a personal opinion.
Discoverer and OBIEE? Boy, how to best explain this? Think of Discoverer as like a Generation 1 business intelligence product. Think of OBIEE as like a Generation 2 business intelligence product. My suspicion is that Oracle will no longer put much time and money into enhancing Discoverer going forward. What you see today with Discoverer is probably what you will get. OBIEE is Oracle's stated direction for business intelligence. So if you are looking long term, OBIEE is the way to go. It is much more complex than Discoverer. It is much more expensive than Discoverer. It takes a lot longer to implement than Discoverer. There may be more Oracle customers today running Discoverer than OBIEE (I don't know for sure - just speculation on my part), but long term Discoverer is going to fade away and OBIEE will become the dominant Oracle BI solution.
So if I was just starting out in a career, in my opinion, OBIEE is what I want to focus on. Would not hurt to learn Siebel and Discoverer, but OBIEE is the way of the future.
Hope this helps a bit.

Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables

A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table. Here is what I would have expected to see as the code. Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
data : commit_count type i.
select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
     where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
commit work and wait.
endselect.
I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else. In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.
            DO.

          ENDIF.
Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ? They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ??? Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ? We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!

The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)
Go through some documentation like [Updates in the R/3 System (BC-CST-UP)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCSTUP/BCCSTUP_PT.pdf]

First, remove your personal information from your post. That's not needed here. This is a public forum, and it is unwise to provide your personal data online.
Second, here's how you reset your password and/or security questions.
How to reset your Apple ID password.
Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

I have purchased music with my old apple id, old computer and old email. My old email and computer are not available anymore and I dont remember my password and securtiy question anymore. How can I authorise my old apple id to authorise the new computer?

Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the
music. I cant remember password and security questions for my old id and the old email doest exist anymore.
What can I do?

Hi, Carmen.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
