Discoverer Desktop 10.1 and Excel

I have a report that is creating an output of 589,000 rows. I have both Excel 2003 and 2007 loaded to my desktop. Unfortunaltey, when I export to Excel, my output file has only 65536 rows, which of course is the Excel 2003 limitation. Excel 2007 has 1,000,000 row limitation. Is there a way to force Desktop to Export to a Excel 2007 file, which would have my entire 589,000 rows in one worksheet.
Thanks

Hi,
I think it only separates into multiple sheets when exporting from plus, not desktop.
I don't think that Excel 2007 is properly supported, so don't believe there would be no way to do the forced approach that you mention. If anyone knows otherwise, please do tell! This thread has some useful stuff Exporting Oracle 10g reports into Excel 2007 .
Like Troy the way i've gotten around this is to export the output into a different file format, such as csv or probably more reliably, tab separated. Click on file then export to get more export file format options.
Once exported open the file into Excel by changing the file type to all files and find the file. Excel will know that the file format is not an Excel one, and import it by giving you some options. Selected delimited as the method of opening rather than fixed width. In the next step select the tab or comma as the delimiter depending on if you've exported in csv or tab delimited. Just click next and ignore the step about skipping columns and formatting (unless you want to specifically format any of the columns, which you can do after import). Then click on finish and bingo, one huge file imported into Excel 2007.
Hope this is of use. Sorry for the basic step-by-step instructions, but not everyone knows how to do that.
Regards,
Lloyd

Limit Discoverer Desktop Instance Count and Run Time

Hi all,
I want to learn how I can restrict the number of Dicoverer desktop instances a user can open. I want to learn how to do it especially on Applications user basis because I will restrict only some of them. And also I want to know if it is possible to make a specific report to be able to be run only at given hours by given users.
To be more explaining here is my case; we have a report that takes too long to complete takes too much CPU and memory. We have shops that will start using Discoverer Desktop and the report in question. Now our users are not too careful to and open too many Discoverer instances, I want to restrict this to 1 for the shop users. Also, I want them to run that report only after 6:00 pm because it is when the center office which has 80% of the Oracle users is empty.
Is this possible, if it is could you tell me how to achieve it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You need to establish whether the problem is with the pc, the network or the database. So the first things you need to check are:
1. Is it a crosstab report, do you have the same issue if it is a table report?
2. How many rows does it return, do you have the same issue if you limit the rows to just a few?
3. Is it an Apps mode database mode EUL, if it is apps mode, you need to check the the users context in the database is not causing an issue?
4. Is this a general problem or a problem with a specific query?

Discoverer desktop 9.04 and database 11g r2

Does anyone know if the discoverer desktop 9.04 will work with database 11g r2 without any problems.

Agreed - use the latest version :-)
Sutirtha - I am assuming you work for Oracle. If so, is there anyway you can help with my post in the Doc forum ? connect to orcale 8.1.7.4 via OLEDB

Default Excel for Discoverer Desktop

I have searched through the forum but never really found an answer for changing the defalut excel for Discoverer Desktop. We are using 10.2.2.45.45c. When exporting to excel it defaults to Mircrosolft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook. We need it to default to Excel 2003 or later this year to Mircosoft Excel 2013.
Is there a registry setting somewhere I can add ?
We have a several excel files that are produced by command line and this is starting to cause us some grief.

The administrator is a client-tool, installed from the bi-tools cd. The default url for viewer/plus looks like http://<server>:<port, default 7778>/discoverer/plus or /viewer. When you don't run in applications mode (for Oracle eBS) then you can use db-accounts to logon to Discoverer, in the Administrator logon with the EUL-owner, go to manage->privileges and give certain db-accounts the privilige to query/create workbooks and manage access to one or more business areas.

USING DISCOVERER DESKTOP CAN'T EXPORT AND GET ERROR ORA-00000

we use a win 2000 server to export discoverer reports by command-line methods.In the past ,everything is ok. But from last week , we found some reports always keep in export phase and can't export anything, also with ora-00000 error.
there are 2 things should be mentioned:
1. in the past , these reports can export without any error
2. we can export the same reports normally on another server(but we don't want to change server for some reason)
I know Oracle suggest we update to discoverer 10g, but it can't tell me why another client can export normally
so where is the cause?
Discoverer Desktop version - 4.1.46.08.00
EBS version - 11.5.9

Hi
Presumably you have tried rebooting?
If you have windows updates set to automatic it is possible that one of the recently applied updates has done this.
Best wishes

Compatiblity between Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.3 and 10.1.2.1

I was wondering if it is possible to access the same EUL using the Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.3 and the Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.1?

Discoverer Desktop and Administrator: which is the next step?

Hello everybody, i would like to ask you some help about understanding the following issue:
I noticed that Discoverer Desktop and administrator are being treated like obsolete.
Do they have a direct successor? I mean, is there any new product that has more or less the same functionality and the same philosophy?
I'm looking at the Business intelligence suite but it seems to be a bit much wide for my scope.
Thank you all in advance.

So, in a way you are saying that discoverer is still better than any other oracle products including discoverer plus. I mean, discoverer adm and desktop are useful for me since
they are standalone application and the understructure is quite light ( for example you don't need any application server behind like plus does but just an EUL).
And i'm agree with your parallel matching with sqlplus situation. I still prefer doing something with sqlplus since is more reliable and quick than sqldeveloper. But i cannot say that
discoverer desktop is the most reliable tool for reporting. In 6 months i used i found out many bugs and many strange behaviors that made me a bit crazy about this tool. I also tried discoverer plus but i found it extremely slow and unreliable. The level of productivity is something ugly, not just slow. So far indeed desktop seems to be the fastest and most reliable solution for a "quick" reporting development.
I would like to ask you another question: has the new hyperion platform some reporting tool like discoverer?
I mean if discoverer is the reporting tool for Relational OLAP what about the reporting for Multidimensional OLAP?
Thanks again.
Best regards

Report Layout difference in Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
A report was developed in Discoverer Desktop. It is having some 10 columns as data points. The summarized columns for those 10 columns are required. But only 3 columns should be displayed in Detailed Data Points. So we shrinked(brought together) all the unwanted columns keeping 3 datapoints displayed. Now it is working fine in the discovere Desktop. But when we open the same report in the Discoverer Viewer, all the 10 columns are displayed in the Detailed Data Points as well.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Rakesh

hi Michael,
good morning..hope u had a good sleep.
as per your last thought y'day, even though i create a function for the sum of season values n select those columns into the report, those will not be shown as summarized columns on right hand side of the report. they will be shown as datapoints for every month in that selected season.
i think the only possible solution for like this report is to hide those unwanted columns. for this we have hidden checkbox option in tools->sort while developing. but this option is available only for tabular reports.
if u come up with any fresh solution for the fresh day...i am glad.
Thanks,
_Rakesh.

Discoverer Desktop 11 and Oracle db 9i

Will Discoverer Desktop 11 run off Oracle db 9i?
I have copied tnsnames.ora file from 9i directory to 11, cannot connect (get ORA-12154)
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I am not aware of any issues that would cause a TNS connection error. Check that the TNS details are correct for the new database using TNSping or SQLplus.

Oracle Discoverer Desktop truncate at least 10.000 rows

Hi All,
I want to export to excel file from Oracle Discoverer Desktop. If the file contains more than 10.000 rows, It truncates the output and only shows the first 10.000 rows.
How can I resolve this problem?. I changed that Limit in Oracle Discoverer Viewer, but I don't know where I can do this in Desktop.
Best Regards,
Mariano.-

In Desktop, go to the Tools menu, and select Options...
The second tab is for the Query Governor, and you can uncheck (or change) the "Limit Retrieved Data To:" item. This works in Desktop 10.1.2.48.18.

Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
Regards,
Brajesh

Pretty hard to answer a question like this. Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out.

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.

Discoverer Desktop crash

When trying to open a report created by a colleague, Discoverer immediately throws a Windows (Vista 32Bit) error that "Oracle Discoverer Desktop has stopped working". I click close program, and Discoverer closes. It's a very simple report so I recreated it yesterday, ran it fine, could change parameters for different outputs, no problems. This morning I log in and when trying to open the newly created report from yesterday, same error. No exception, no memory pointers, nothing, just the Win error that it has stopped working.
Anyone seen this before? Running Discoverer Desktop v 10.1.2.3 Client v 10.1.2.55.26.

My colleague was able to open and modify the report that I created without issue so I suspect the report is alright, perhaps my installation? Odd that I can run many other reports just fine in the same environment and that this one ran fine from development, but as soon as I closed it to reopen, no luck.

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!
