Discoverer - creating reports / letters that are not just a "grid" layout

Hello,
I am just starting to work with Oracle Discoverer for possible replacement reporting tool for us.
The big issue that I have right now is that Discoverer puts all results in a spreadsheet type format. That is you cannot add labels, section breaks, ect. You really cannot format any of the results (other than standard sorting ect) to produce a nice report look or a letters ect.
We have a department that creates many reports with our current BI tool, and they never use a standard grid layout for reports, they always have more of a customized report look and feel with even images ect. added to it.
If reports and letters are not possible to do in Discover, what is the solution? Is Oracle Reports the solution that most users use to create custom report or letter?
Please feel free to let me know how you are currently creating custom reports and letters in Discoverer.
Thx.

Discoverer allows you to create your queries/presentations using Discoverer Plus and use the formatting option to manage the presentation of that data to your Discoverer community.
Once the presentations are defined you share these same presentations with your report builders who would typically use Oracle Reports. Discoverer has an export facility to provide a link to Oracle Reports. This allows report builders to create layout specific formats for further distribution.
Hope this helps

How do I search the available songs in Itunes that are not just $1.29?

According to ITUNES, I should be able to view all available songs in the ITUNES store. Well there are supposed to be songs that are 99 cents and 69 cents. Where can I find those at? I jave tried everything and I cant seem to locate those in the store so I can see if I want to purchase those.
Please help!!!
Thanks

But I want to just spcifically look at all the .69 cent songs to see if there are any I like.
The iTunes Store has extremely few songs for 69 cents, and as Roaminggnome notes, they do not make them easy to find. However, you might enjoy this nice 69 cent version of Chicken Dance.

Is there a way to create new keywords that are NOT subcategories of other keywords in PSE Organizer?

I would like to create a new keyword in the Organizer that is not a subcategory of OTHER.
Specifically I would like to create the keyword PETS, which could in turn have subcategories of different pets.
Currently the only way I can do this is to create PETS as a subcategory of OTHER which I would prefer not to do.
If this can be done, please advise me (in detail) how this can be done.
I am using PSE13 with Windows 8.1 (64-bit) as my OS.
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

Hi,
Have you tried selecting New Category from the drop down list?

Mail seems to create Mail folders that are not allowed to be backed up.

The folder in my Home>Library>Mail that had my Inbox in it was titled POP/[email protected]@myserver.net, or the specific equivalent.
When I was backing up everything to an exterior hard drive, I got a message saying the name was too long, or had incorrect characters in it.
I boldly shortened the name by taking the second @myserver.net off, keeping my fingers crossed, and all seemed to go well, until the next time I opened Mail, and most of my Inbox was gone. And all of the emails I had deleted in the last month or so were back in my Inbox.
It turns out that on launching Mail, my computer had created a new POP/[email protected]@myserver.net folder, but had only transferred a small chunk of my old emails to fill it.
So I went back and looked at the POP folder whose name I'd changed, and all the old emails were there. So I copied each item in the non-allowed folder to the Mail folder in the exterior hard drive, created a new folder there with the shortened title POP/[email protected], stuck all the items in it, just for tidiness. I was able to access these mailboxes from my Mail program.
So now I had backed them up, which was a weight off my mind. But I believe I lost emails like this previously when backing up, and didn't figure out how to find and save them, and now they are probably gone forever.
What I want to know is why Mail creates folders with titles that it will not allow itself to back up.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
I think something else must have happened, for I have
never had this happen. I have just tested copying my
POP folder with the longest name, and no problem.
The name had the same number of characters, and
format as the following:
[email protected]@mail.xxxxxx.net
However, I note that the form you report (that of
beginning with POP/) is not the current form Mail has
used for some time, but rather would be expected to
begin as "POP-". Nevertheless, I would not have
expected that, alone, to cause the behavior you
report.
More info, please.

Hi Ernie,
Maybe it was something to do with the permissions. Last time I tried to verify my permissions, I was unable to. I got a message saying my disc could not connect with Disc Utility, or was disfunctional in some precarious way. A somewhat scary experience that I am not in a big hurry to repeat.
Based partly on your info, I have decided instead to upgrade to Tiger immediately, and am hoping this will alleviate some or all aspects of these problems.
Thanks for your input,
Stephen

Create rrandom slides that are not quiz slides?

Hi,
None of the Quiz slide options provides the required quiz type I need, so I am going to create the whole course from scratch.
I want to be able to create several slides with questions just from text I put on a blank slide, that when the user clicks a button to go to the next slide they will go to a random slide from a defined group of slides.
Is this possible?
If I create a slide Group, would it be possible to go to a random slide of that Group?
I would also like to create a random starting slide so that a user does not get the same intro slide each time?
cheers

Hi there
Unless someone has some fancy script to randomize things I'm going to claim it's not possible to randomize regular slides. However, I've always thought it would be a neat feature to have. I think I've subitted a feature request to ask for it in a future version. If you also believe as I do (and it sounds like you do) I'm hopeful that you and any others that feel this way will take a moment and submit a Feature Request to ask for this ability. (Link to the Feature Request is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

How to convert PDF with accented letters that are not Unicode?

Hello all,
I have a PDF letter that is written in Spanish. When I copy and paste the Spanish word: organización
... it is pasted to Noepad or Word as:
organizaci
´
on
The word displays properly in the PDF, however I believe it was created originally as a combination of characters and NOT as a unicode character.
Is there some way I can export this to create the proper accented characters? Is there some specialized converter for this?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy

I Created a power view in Excel 2013 and uploaded to my Power BI for o365 site.
But when i click on my excel file it opens in browser,After that i click on File tab its showing me two option
1. Save a Copy
2.Download a copy
When i click on save a copy its showing me an warning below
Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy.
Continue with Save?
If i continue saving it only saves an excel files with data only not the power view which i want to save with applied filters.
Please help me for this

Just to clarify, when you hit the option of Save As Copy, the whole experience goes into a "read-write" mode in Excel services, which currently doesn't support authoring, just consumption of PowerView sheets.
Two mitigations that come to mind:
1. Download the copy (as Brad suggests), rename the file and upload.
2. Use the send to option of SharePoint online, give the file the right target document library (can be the same as source) and rename the file:

H.264 export without audio creates files that are not recognized in Quicktime or VLC

Dear all,
I need to generate h.264 files with video only. (short clips for use with a "clickable" catalog on an iPad)
Used the "H.264" category and chose a preset. Unchecked "Audio" so I only get the video exported.
The resulting .m4v file is not playable in Quicktime or VLC or MPEG streamclip.
When I leave audio enabled with the same preset, the file is fine, but as soon as I export without audio, the resulting file is unreadable.
Source material is ProRes 422HQ, audio+video, about 30-40 seconds long.
Any clues?
Carl.

Premiere 6.0.2

Thanks Jeff, I did get that far ;-)
I'm sorry, probably my question wasn't very clear. Of course I can find some technical info about the iPad...
And of course some of the presets in Media Encoder provide basic starting points for encoding.
But... there is also the first iPad, I couldn't find the specs about it on the Apple site. On everymac.com I found:
Apple reports that the iPad supports "H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats."
So if I want to be compatible with all iPads I need to probably stay under 720p30 with [email protected] for H.264
When I look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
I find (from the example values) that 1280x720@30p is quite near the maximum matrix size. So with 1024x576 I should be ok there. My bandwith of about 2Mbit is also well within range in this case. But what if I want to fill an iPod screen (1024x768) with the highest possible quality video? How do I calculate if this fits the max frame size requirements, where this is expressed in a number of luma samples and macroblocks? What is my max bandwith? The tables says that the "Max video bit rate for video coding layer (VCL) kbit/s" should be <14.000kbps. Does that directly translate to the sliders in my encoding app?
If you look in the table "AVC software implementations" (under Software encoder feature comparison) you can see that some features that are supported in MainConcept, and not supported in Qt. (8×8 vs. 4×4 transform adaptivity, Quantization scaling matrices, Separate Cb and Cr QP control, etc. What are these exactly?)
In Streamclip one can choose to have B-frames or not, in AME there is no such control. Does that mean it always encodes with B-frames? Why would one not want to have B-frames?
A lot of parameters in AME H.264 encoding seem to be set to certain fixed values that are not accessible to the user. Other programs (Sorensen, Telestream) provide the user with access to more parameters. Which parameters in AME are set to what (fixed, non-accessible) values and why?
As I said earlier, Quicktime reports different codecs for what should be the same format but from different encoders. Why? Is there a program that can analyze a H.264 stream and report about it in more detail than VLC/Quicktime?
etc. etc. etc....
If anyone could recommend an online resouce or a book to learn more about the ins and outs of H.264 encoding/decoding that would be great. I have the first edition of Charles Poynton's (brilliant!) book "Digital Video and HDTV", which does talk about MPEG-2 but not H.264. I saw that the second edition goes a bit more into detail about H.264. Does anyone have the second edition? Worth buying just for the relatively small addition about H.264?
Thanks.

Is there a way to create a project with custom audio settings that are NOT only "Stereo" or "Surround"?

Thanks!

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

How to create a view for all Service Requests that are not approved by reviewer

Hallo,
I want to create a view in the Service Requests library that shows all SRs that are not approved. How to configure condition that says: if a SR has related Review Activity which is In Progress, show that SRs?
I couldn't find this when creating the view. Thank you.

So here's the first problem with that: Which review activity? a SR can contain multiple RAs, so how do we decide if an arbitrary SR is approved or not?
As to the specific language you use (Any child RA is In Progress) you might want to look at the criteria from the default Change approval view, which does something similar:
<QueryCriteria Adapter="omsdk://Adapters/Criteria" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Criteria.xsd">
<Criteria>
<FreeformCriteria>
<Freeform>
<Criteria xmlns="http://Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.Criteria/">
<Expression>
<And>
<Expression>
<SimpleExpression>
<ValueExpressionLeft>
<Property>$Context/Path[Relationship='CoreActivity!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' TypeConstraint='CoreActivity!System.WorkItem.Activity.ReviewActivity']/Property[Type='CoreActivity!System.WorkItem.Activity']/Status$</Property>
</ValueExpressionLeft>
<Operator>Equal</Operator>
<ValueExpressionRight>
<Value>$MPElement[Name="CoreActivity!ActivityStatusEnum.Active"]$</Value>
</ValueExpressionRight>
</SimpleExpression>
</Expression>
<Expression>
<SimpleExpression>
<ValueExpressionLeft>
<Property>$Context/Property[Type='CoreChange!System.WorkItem.ChangeRequest']/Status$</Property>
</ValueExpressionLeft>
<Operator>Equal</Operator>
<ValueExpressionRight>
<Value>$MPElement[Name="CoreChange!ChangeStatusEnum.InProgress"]$</Value>
</ValueExpressionRight>
</SimpleExpression>
</Expression>
</And>
</Expression>
</Criteria>
</Freeform>
</FreeformCriteria>
</Criteria>
</QueryCriteria>
This is a simple AND criteria with two componets. one looking for a Review Activity (TypeConstraint='CoreActivity!System.WorkItem.Activity.ReviewActivity') which is related to the targetting CR by Contains Activity ($Context/Path[Relationship='CoreActivity!System.WorkItemContainsActivity';
Context in this... context means the CR targeted by the view) where it's status (/Property[Type='CoreActivity!System.WorkItem.Activity']/Status$) is In Progress ($MPElement[Name="CoreActivity!ActivityStatusEnum.Active"]$). The other is filtering
for the target change request's status ( $Context/Property[Type='CoreChange!System.WorkItem.ChangeRequest']/Status$) is In Progress ($MPElement[Name="CoreChange!ChangeStatusEnum.InProgress"]$).
You could convert the second criteria to point to SRs and SR status values, and then use the similar text for the first criteria. i'd recommend
Anton's Advanced View Editor (or
the free version) to do the criteria adjustment.

How do I create a smart playlist of songs that are not in any playlist?

I have zillions of songs and many playlists to manage them. So how do I create a smart playlist that shows songs that are not in any playlist?
An easier answer would be " Playlist > is > None" but this option is not available.
Any other creative solutions?
(...and a long list of "Playist > is not > Playlist AA" through "Playist > is not > Playlist ZQ" is not a manageable answer as my playlists are too dynamic for that. Such a playlist would always be broken.)

Maybe one of these will help:
This AppleScript will create a text file that will list the iTunes Library tracks which have not been assigned to any playlist. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylist
This script searches your iTunes or iPod Library for tracks which have not been included in any Playlists and copies them to a new discrete Playlist. http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=notinanyplaylistplaylist

Change number that are not created earlier accepted for change of BOM

Hi,
When i am going to change BOM it gives warning message "Enter change number, BOM has history requirement"
But my problem is when i put any number in field of change number it is allowing me to change the BOM.
It should not be accept any number that are not created earlier in the system. It must have to accept change number that is created for the history requirement for perticular material. kindly give your input on this issue.

Hi Atul,

I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download the Kobo reader app. can I download things from the internet that are not available in the apple store?

I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download from the internet (such as Kobo) that are not available on the app store. It asked me if I was sure it was safe, so it's got me worried.

If you know the sites are OK, then download away.
