Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.1 cant connect to 11g (11.2.0.2.0) database

Hi,
Has anyone ever come across this problem. Any solutions?
Strangely enough, the Discoverer Administrator, Discoverer Plus and Discoverer Viewer connects successfully.
OS: Windows XP Pro 64bit SP2 (tried on Windows 7 64bit with no success too)
Discoverer Administrator client: 10.1.2.48.18
End User Layer Library: 10.1.2.48.18
End User Layer: 5.1.1.0.0.0
Discoverer Viewer & Plus: 10.1.2.55.26
Thank you for any information
Regards,
Andi

Hi,
That's odd. Maybe try enabling the DCE Diagnostics (as described in note 403689.1) to log the traffic to/from the database and then look at the differences between the 10R2 and 11.2 database. From what you say it could be something in the XP registry that gets set when you connect to 10R2 that is needed to connect to 11.2, so maybe check in the registry as well.

What priviliges need to Run Discoverer Desktop

Hi all,
I have installed Discoverer Desktop on client machine. When I login throug the administrator on any client machine then I can connect to Desktop. But unable to connect to Discoverer Desktop on client machine when I connect with my personal ID that dont have administrative priviliges. I got the error that system unable to update system registry. Use REGEDIT. And also desktop didnt connect and return TNS Error. What should I do in this condition? Should I give the administrator priviliges to every user who are using Discoverer Desktop.
Thanks.

Let me elaborate on exactly what I am doing with this. I have a view that goes against a 5 million record table and gets contract line flexfields. The performance is greatly improved when a specific contract is selected, so I have built in an extra join to a temporary table that contains nothing but contract number. When a report is run in Discoverer, the goal is to allow the user to enter a parameter of contract number, and then take that number and execute a function to populate the temporary table with that contract number, then get the data from the view that has joined to this table. It works if the user runs the report 2 times, as the data is being generated before the function is executed, so there is nothing in the temp table on the first execution due to timing. What I need to do is change the timing and force the function to populate the temp table prior to the running of the view. Is this possible?

Discoverer desktop aborts when passing parameter

Hi All,
I'm trying to pass parameters to a discoverer desktop workbook, using the following command:
C:\oracle\product\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect discover/discover@fincon_d10 /opendb FCONR09615 /parameter p_user 'FCON' /parameter session_id '26240255' /parameter p_dt_final '31/01/2008'
where FCONR09615 is my workbook. But when I execute this command discoverer desktop aborts!
When I manually open the wokbook and fill the parameters, it works just fine.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Valentim

Hi Valentim
You don't seem to be telling Discoverer which worksheet to open. You need to use the sheet command.
Let me look at the rest of your command.
1. You appear to be calling Discoverer Desktop correct
2. The command /connect is correct with username/password@database
3. The /opendb command is correct so long as you have a workbook called FCONR09615 owned by the user discover
4. You seem to have 2 parameters: one called p_user and one called p_dt_final. I can't comment as to whether you are passing the correct string values as I don't know how you have defined the objects that the parameters are feeding. I can tell you that your parameters need to be called p_user and p_dt_final

Discoverer supports two kinds of connections - database schema connections and apps connections. For Disco Admin, you login using a database schema, which, as you stated, works. For Disco User you login using an Apps user account (for which there is a no equivalent database scherma). To enable such a connection, you need to check the "oracle applications user" check box on the 10g Disco login screen. Also, under Tools --> Options, in the Connection tab, make sure that "connect to both standard and applications EULs" radio button is selected.

Checkbox in discoverer desktop edition

Hi,
The query we are executing created for cross tab report have plenty of views and is returning null data which needs apps intialization which cannot be done from discoverer.
I think loging into Discoverer desktop edition with oracle applications user would resolve the same.
I have checked the checkbox in desktop edition and logged in as operations/welcome. but it is showing as invalid user name /password.
please help in setup that must required to check and login to oracle applications user. Also Provide if there is any alternative.
I would be very much thankful if you could help me on this.
Best Regards,
Katty.

Hi,
The apps initialization can be done by Discoverer provided that you are connecting to an Apps mode EUL with an applications username and password.
You must specify that you want an Apps mode EUL when the EUL is created. Then when you connect to Disco Admin as the owner of the EUL you will be able to grant access privs and security to the Application users and responsbilities.
If you have an apps mode EUL and still get an invalid username/password then this could be because the application is running in secure mode. Then you need to copy the .dbc file to a local directory. Search this forum for details on how to do this.

Hi,
I have the same issue with Discoverer Plus 10g Rel 1 (10.2.0.2 )
Desktop and Administrator are working good. So, I cannot resolve it by re-installation.
Also, this is not reproducible. Sometimes it works very smoothly, but sometimes it gives error for the same report.
Any idea ?
Thanks!

Problem while installing discoverer desktop edition

HI
I find few error messages while installing discoverer desktop edition..
When i give oracle home as

Location: DiscovererDesk
it gives me a error
" oracle discoverer doesnot support multiple installations thus it cannot be installed on oracleHome92.It can only be installed on 'OraHome92'"
When i give oracle home as
name:OraHome92
It automatically takes my 9i oracle home path i.e E:\oracle\ora92 and gives me a error like
"The location specified 'E:\Oracle\ora92', is already used an oracle home for an
'Oracle 82 beta'.It cann't be used as an oracle home for nt."
I have oracle 9i and form6i,report 6i installed in my system.
Please suggest me ..

Hi
The easiest way to get a fully working TNSNAMES in a version 4 environment is to use the Net 8 Configuration utility.
Here's a workflow:
1. From the Start button, select Start | Oracle for Windows NT | Oracle Net8 Easy Config
2. When it starts, check Add New Service and in the little box to the right type the name by which you want this connection to be known
3. Click the Next button
4. Select TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) and click the Next button
5. Enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the server that contains the database
6. In Port, enter the port number - it defaults to 1521
7. Click the Next button
8.In Database SID enter the name of the database, then click the Next button
9.Click the Test Service button
10. Provide a username and password for an account on the database, then click the Test button
11. If you see: Connecting.... The test did not succeed you got the username/password combination wrong or some other part of the setup
12. When you see: Connecting.... The connection test was successful click the Done button
13. Click the Next button
14. Click the Finish button
You should now have a valid TNSNAMES connection for use by Discoverer 4

Cannot log in as an application user on Discoverer Desktop

Hi
I have Discoverer Desktop 4.1.37.00.0 on a laptop. When I try to log in as an application user, when in connect field I enter database name, I get the following error message:
ORA-12154:TNS:could not resolve service name
When instead of databse name I input connect string in tnsnames.ora file, I get another error message:
Unable to connect to Oracle Application Database:Invalid username/password
Please note that the checkbox 'oracle application user' is enabled while attempting to log in.
Secondly, in my Administration Edition in Tools>options>connections
the following settings have been done:
Connect to both standard and applications EULs
Gateway User Id (GWYUID)/Password : APPLSYSPUB/PUB
FNDNAM : APPS
Similar seetings have been done for the desktop.
Also note that I cannot even log in as a database user. The error message I receive is
'You do not have access to any End User Tables.'
The database user name I'm using to log in is the one who has created EUL(apps mode) and owns business areas in that EUL.
Can someone please guide me on this problem?

Aparna

Hi
The solution to my problem was exactly the same: I needed to apply the patch 3201601.
This patch is available on http://metalink.oracle.com
While installing the version 4.1.48.06.00 on my laptop, as I have XP, I came across some DLL errors.
For this refer to the note 297750.1, DLL Copy Errors when Trying to Patch Discoverer Administrator/Desktop 4.1
The note is also available on the metalink.

Discoverer Desktop installation fails on Windows 7

You can install Discoverer using XP SP2 compatibility mode. Right click the install.exe file and go to the compatibility tab. You should be able to get it from there.
Setup should proceed as normal. You may, however, get an error when trying to login to Discoverer. I am still confounded with this error;
Failed to connect to database - ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION.
Since Discoverer is not certified with Windows 7, good luck trying to find a solution. I have been working on the problem for days now without any luck.

I am not able to see the Business area in Discoverer desktop

Hi,
r
I am new to Discoverer
I have created a business area in EUL with user name and password as dewip/dewip in Discoverer administrator and now when I am logging in to Discoverer Desktop with the same user name and password to create workbook I am able to log in but I am not able to find the Business area in the Discoverer desktop.
After creating the business area do we need to do anything ( We don't even have save option to save also).
In Discoverer admin -> tools-> privilages I checked to see the privilages for this user ,but I could not see this user name(dewip) only.
Please help me ,its urgent.
Thanks,
gsr

Hi gsr
If you are working on Desktop and you change the default EUL but it doesn't stick this means that you don't have Admin rights over your machine.
In order to make these setting stick you need to have permission to update the system registry.
If you really cannot be given these rights then I suggest you ask you system admin to change the registry setting for you on your machine so that it reflects the correct EUL. You will find it here:
1. From the Start button, use Run | regedit
2. Open your registry to display HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Oracle | Discoverer 10
3. Expand the folder called Database
4. Inside here you will see one set of settings that begin with AEUL and another with UEL. The format is like this:
AEUL_username_database and UEUL_username_database
5. You should see the name of the default EUL in the column called Data
6. Right-click on the setting you want to change and from the pop-up select Modify
7. Type the name of the EUL that Desktop should default to for that user in the database, making sure you type it in UPPERCASE
8. Click the OK button
9. Close the registry
When you now connect to Discoverer Desktop you should be in the correct EUL.
Note: this is only required if you don't have admin rights on your PC. If you do have admin rights then Discoverer will set this for itself.
By the way, if you or anyone reading this is unsure about manually editing your registry you should back it up first. Here are the steps:
To backup your registry, follow this workflow:
1. From your PC, click Start | Run
2. In the Run dialog box, type "regedit" and press the Enter key
3. The registry will now be displayed
4. From the registry menu bar, select Registry | Export Registry File
5. When the Export Registry File dialog box opens, give a name to the file you want the registry to be saved as
6. In Export Range, check "All" or "Selected Branch" - Selected Branch will export the current folder, so if you happen to have already navigated down tp the appropriate Discoverer Administrator folder you will be able to back it up
7. Click the Save button
8. Close the registry editor
To restore your registry, follow this workflow:
1. From your PC, click Start | Run
2. In the Run dialog box, type "regedit" and press the Enter key
3. The registry will now be displayed
4. From the registry menu bar, select Registry | Import Registry File
5. Navigate to the folder in which your registry is saved and locate the file
6. Click the Open button - the registry will be restored
7. Close the registry editor

Running resports from new database using discoverer desktop

Hi,
I am new here on the project and dont have much documentation avaialable. I have is just passwords.
I am new to discoverer. I see that there is one historical database names as HIPRD which has historical HR information of audit purpose(just database , no EBS apps). all users who uses HIPRD database they have user_id as database schema.
the way usres uses data from HIPRD database is either through disco desktop or they launch disco viewer. So they login in disco desktop as username/password database name untick oracle application user. once they login they see all folders where they hace access to run reports.
I created new database called TEST using cold backup set of HIPRD and i have upgraded to 11gR1. I have updated my local tnsnames.ora with TEST entry and i am able to connect TEST(11g) which has same data as it is available in HIPRD.
My question is what I have to do on disco side so that usres can run reports from upgraded 11g TEST database using disco desktop or disco viewer the way they are doing for HIPRD.
Please help, I am new to discoverer

please i need help

Discoverer Desktop v 4.1

Anyone know where I can download Discoverer Desktop v4.1.48.
Thanks..

Hi Neville
Actually, if you don't have 10g yet you may as well upgrade to 11g.
You'll find the software here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/middleware/htdocs/fmw_11_download.html
If you scroll down the column headed Microsoft Windows until you come to the column labeled Oracle BI Discoverer Desktop and Administrator 11.1.1.3.0
You can install these into a new Oracle home on your machines.
To upgrade you need to connect as the Administrator in 11g connecting using the credentials from version 4. You should be prompted to upgrade? Don't worry though because Discoverer 11 will not overwrite anything from version 4, it will install completely new objects.
If you don't fancy this idea, then you can create yourself a brand new schema and install an empty EUL into that area. Then you export the EUL from version 4 and import it into version 11.
Note: you will find that you need additional grants in the database to fully use 11g. Here are the scripts I use:
Admin User:
create user &username identified by &password;
grant connect, resource to &&username;
grant alter any materialized view to &&username;
grant analyze any, create any materialized view to &&username;
grant create procedure, create role, create sequence to &&username;
grant create session, create table, create view to &&username;
grant drop any materialized view, execute any procedure to &&username;
grant global query rewrite to &&username;
grant select any table, unlimited tablespace to &&username;
grant execute on sys.dbms_job to &&username;
grant select on sys.v_$parameter to &&username;
For end users who need to schedule:
accept username prompt'Enter Username: '
accept pword prompt'Enter Password: '
create user &username identified by &password;
grant connect, resource to &&username;
grant analyze any to &&username;
grant create procedure, create sequence to &&username;
grant create session, create table, create view to &&username;
grant execute any procedure to &&username;
grant global query rewrite to &&username;
grant select any table, unlimited tablespace to &&username;
grant execute on sys.dbms_job to &&username;
grant select on sys.v_$parameter to &&username;
For users who do not need to schedule:
create user &username identified by &password;
grant connect to &&username;
grant execute any procedure to &&username;
grant global query rewrite to &&username;
grant select any table to &&username;
Best wishes
