Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Plus Data

Hi Everyone
I have a report when I run in Desktop I can see the data, but when I run in Plus I cannot see any data.
Any ideas what might cause this problem to occur?
Discoverer version is 10.1.2.3

Hi,
If your report was developed in Desktop then it should work fine in Plus. Although Plus does not support subqueries I doubt that is the problem. As Gareth said it is most likely it is a NLS language problem. Create a workbook which contains the userenv('LANG') to check that it returns US in both desktop and plus.
If the NLS language is not the problem then post details of your custom query as there are differences between Plus and Desktop which could cause this problem.

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.

Installation Trouble with Oracle BI Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Administrator 11.1.1.3.0

Hi All,
I'm having installing this software on my Window's 8.1 64-bit machine. I'm going to Disk1 > Install > Win64 > setup.exe. The Oracle Universal Installer shows up, passes the swap space and monitor checks, and stays on "Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\Users etc.... Please wait ..." for a few seconds. It then promptly closes and does absolutely nothing. I've tried the setup.exe from the Win32 bit folder, and that opens perfectly fine (unfortunately mines 64-bit). I've tried running as Administrator, in compatibility mode (all of them), and even updated Java. Does anyone know of a solution?
Also, I have a 32-bit Windows XP virtual machine installed, and when I tried it there, I encountered the same problem. This time with the 32-bit setup.exe.
Thanks,
Neville

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

Discoverer/Drake and other OLAP Data Sources

Can you tell me if the new version of Discoverer for the BI functionality includes functionality for accessing Non-Oracle OLAP databases. Could you use Discoverer to access an existing OLAP datasource on Sqlserver?

I am connecting Disco to SQL Server via Heterogeneous Connectivity. It's not super fast, but it works. In essence, you create a thin Oracle server on the same box as the SQL Server. Disco works with the thin Oracle server, the thin Oracle server works with the SQL Server db.
Here's the link to the HC forum: Heterogeneous Connectivity
Here's the link to the article that helped me the most in getting set up: MS SQL Server to Oracle
Be ready to spend a few hours getting this set up...
Thanks,
Scott

Lightroom merge to hdr/panorama in photoshop functions are broken, everything is installed via CC desktop and up to date

I installed everything via the official creative cloud process and this function doesn't work for me. Not the hdr or the panorama merge! It worked perfectly in older versions.
I tried resetting the photoshop preferences file but it still doesn't work. Photoshop just starts and nothing happens when this feature is used within Lightroom.
When using the automate -> photomerge feature in Photoshop all works fine.
I use this feature in Lightroom a lot so please fix this!

Photoshop is starting up just fine, but it just sits there and nothing happens.
I will uninstall and re-install Photoshop anyway just to try this.

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.

Install discoverer admin and desktop

Hi All,
We have already installed discoverer 11.1.1.4 on linux. We have two url one for discoverer viewer and other for discoverer plus.
Now i need to generate a resport do i need to install discoverer admin and desktop.
I am new to discoverer Do i need to install discoverer admin and desktop separately or else we can use the same setup.
Please help.
My env details .
OS : OEL 5
Apps: EBS 12.1.3
db verion : 11.2.0.3
Discoverer version : 11.1.1.4
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
You need to install Disco Admin to create and maintain an EUL. Discoverer Administrator and Desktop are part of the same installation and you should always install both. The software download is available from the Oracle Discoverer 11g Fusion Middleware (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/downloads/index.html). You install Oracle BI Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Administrator 11.1.1.3.0 onto Microsoft Windows.

Installer of Desktop and Administrator 11g for x64

Anybody knows if there are any plans to release an x64 installer for Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Administrator(11g).
Edited by: user5629916 on 30-jun-2010 9:40

Hi
I have done some more investigation on your behalf and would like to point you to Oracle Support note *233047.1*. Here's the link to the website: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html
In there are several useful questions and answers about Discoverer. The one that will be of interest in your situation is this one:
Q: Are Discoverer 11g Administrator and Desktop certified to install on 64-bit Windows clients?
A: No, at the time of this posting, the certification spreadsheet specifically only lists 32-bit Windows clients (XP, Vista, 7). At this time certification with Windows 64-bit client operating systems is being evaluated for a future patch set, post patchset 3. This document will be updated when the certification is announced.
If you try to install on Windows 64-bit operating systems, you will receive a warning like this when you run setup.exe from the /Disk1 directory.
You may workaround this by installing from ..\Disk1\install\win32 and running setup.exe from there; however, as stated at this point it is specifically not certified on 64bit Windows client operating systems; therefore, we cannot accept Service Requests for functional issues.
By the way, I did have one of my clients only yesterday successfully install Desktop and Administrator 11g onto Windows 7 64 bit. Here is one of their comments: I am running on Windows 7 64 bit. The 11.1.1.3.0 has both 32 bit and 64 bit available. It seems if you are running on 32 bit you would choose XP mode and the 64 bit by default compatible with Vista
Best wishes

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.
Burak

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?

Removing all option in discovere desktop page item

Hi,
I want to remove the all option which appears in the oracle discovere desktop and oracle discoevere plus under the page item which you create a cross tab report.
I am creating a cross table report in that i have a date in the page item it shows the <all> option also in the drop down of the page item. I do not want it to come there . how do i remove it from that place.
Thanks

Unfortunately you can't remove the <all> option from the page-items in a cross-tab. The only solution is creating a table-layout instead.

Row level security in discoverer desktop

currently, I have designed a business area on one of my star schema, and I created several other business area in order to allow different level of users to view the pre-defined reports on discoverer desktop. and I want different users to view different data from my star schema tables. So I created some criteria on those business area.
e.g. condition on bus_area1 : sales_manager="man01",
condition on bus_area2 : sales_manager="man02"
in short, i want to enable record level security by using discoverer's conditions.
but unfortunately, even I un-checked "Create/Edit Query" privileges on discoverer administrator for those users, they still can modify the worksheet. So they can just remove my condition and to view data that they shouldnot be able to see..
can any one tell me how to solve this problem, or how to do row level security in discoverer?
What can I do if I want to disable "edit worksheet" in discoverer desktop from users??
thanks in advance..
Marco

Marco,
Probably the best way to achieve row-level security is to upgrade to 9.0.4.1 and take advantage of the new functionality of Discoverer to pass the SSO user to the DB query. You would apply Oracle Fine Grained Security/VPD/striping on the DB tables using a policy based on SSO userid. Then using Disco 9.0.4.1 the user would see only the data they are privileged to see. However this works only in a web environment (Discoverer Plus, Viewer and Portlets) not for Desktop.

USER UNABLE TO REFRESH DISCOVERER REPORT IN DISCOVERER DESKTOP 10g

Dear All,
HELP!!!
A new user is unable to refresh discoverer Reports in Desktop. All priviledges have been granted to username in Disco Admin and Usre is able to log into oracle Apps.
On the PC the user logged into someone else can log into Discoverer Desktop and run/refresh discoverer reports without any issues. Hence Ithink neither the PC nor the Discoverer installation is the problem.
Can anyone help? What setup/profile needs to be completed in order for the user to be able to run Disco reports.
Pls note that the following has been completed:
1. Business Areas Assigned to user and his responsibilities.
2. Desktop/Plus Privileges assigned.
3. Allow administration - DISABLED - NOT TICKED
Many thx

Does this person just need to run reports? Or does this person also need to create reports? If the person just needs to run reports, try using Viewer for that person, rather than Desktop. This may be something that you need to log a service request with Oracle to get resolved. Pretty strange that can bring items into a new worksheet, but it won't run. Maybe there is an Oracle applications security issue (since logging in as another person does work)? You may be beating your brains out trying to find a Discoverer problem when it might be an application security problem. Though this is a wild guess on my part.

Error when running a report in Discoverer Desktop

All -
I run a report in discoverer desktop and got the following warning message: This sheet currently contains no data.
I generated the query by using the sql inspector tool and run the query in the database and, to my surprise, it showed the correct records.
I don't know what is causing this error.
I checked all items (in discoverer administrator) that are used in by report and everything seems to be ok.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi,
There could be many reasons for this, what is in the query you are running?. It could be a bug in your version, what version are you using? Does it happen with one workbook or all workbooks? It could be an NLS Language problem, check that the calculation USERENV('LANG') returns the language you are expecting in Discoverer desktop. It could be a problem with the context for your session, are you using an apps mode or database mode EUL?
