Discoverer desktop installation on Windows 7 64 OS XP Mode TNS error

I have installed discoverer administrator and desktop in XP Mode on a Windows 7 64 OS. I downloaded the install from Oracle Discoverer 11g Fusion Middleware. I am using XP mode because I believe there is no download for the 64 bit OS in the Windows environment. I have had no trouble with the installation. The trouble comes when trying to connect to a database. I get a TNS error.
I have edited the environmental variable to include tns names. I am able to connect to a database on the network via sql developer but not with discoverer.
One needs to run the xp application within the Windows 7 environment. I have included the environmental variable in both environments (xp virtual and Windows 7) and am 0% successful with discoverer and 100% successful with sql in seeing the database.
Any technical advice?

I am indebted to Praveen Deshpande for this :
You need to create a Windows environment variable TNS_ADMIN that points to the directory where the correct Tnsnames.ora file is held.
On my system, I went to 'Computer - System Properties - Advanced - Environment Variables", created an environment variable TNS_ADMIN and set its value to C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN
Check where your server or other tnsnames file is stored and set the corresponding value.
Then it all worked perfectly.

Discoverer Desktop installation fails on Windows 7

Hi All,
We are installing Discoverer Desktop version 10.1.2.00 on Windows 7 32-bit version 6.1, runing the setup.exe gives error
ERROR:

Is Dis Desktop 10.1.2.00 on Windows 7 ? any additional patched to be applied?
Kindly suggest
Thanks

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.

Discoverer Desktop installation

Hi all,
I have to install Discoverer Desktop and Administrator on windows machine and 9i AS is on linux server.
To install these do i need to have Discoverer as part of 9i DS or can i directly install them if so should I install Administrator first or Desktop ?
Do i need to make any changes to the Registry ?
Should i stop all Oracle services before installing them ?
ThankYou

Where is Discoverer Desktop installation disks?

I already have Oracle Application Server 10g installed on Windows and have been using Oracle Portal. Now I want to explore Oracle Discoverer. I see no Windows Start menu item for Discoverer Desktop nor Admin. My Start Menu folder named Discoverer only has 2 shortcuts: [Edit Preferences] and [Apply Preferences].
I have searched oracle.com, but cannot find a download for Oracle Discoverer Desktop nor Admin.
Where do I find these tools?

Hi,
It should be the following:

SAP ECC 6.0 installation in windows 2008 clustering with db2 ERROR DB21524E

Dear Sir.,

Edited by: Manjug77 on Oct 29, 2009 2:45 PM

Hello Manjunath.
This looks like a configuration problem.
Please check if IP_NETWORK is set to the name of your network adapter and
if your IP_ADDRESS and IP_SUBNET are set to the correct values.
Note:
- IP_ADDRESS is a new IP address that is not used by any machine in the network.
- IP_NETWORK is optional
If you still get the same error debug your db2mscs.exe-call:
See the answer from Adam Wilson:
Can you run the following and check the output:
db2mscs -f <path>\db2mscs.cfg -d <path>\debug.txt
I suspect you may see the following error in the debug.txt:
Create_IP_Resource fnc_errcode 5045
If you see the fnc_errcode 5045
In that case, error 5045 which is a windows error, means
ERROR_CLUSTER_NETWORK_NOT_FOUND. This error is occuring because windows
couldn't find the "public network" as indicated by IP_NETWORK.
Windows couldn't find the MSCS network called "public network". The
IP_NETWORK parameter must be set to an MSCS Network., so running the
Cluster Admin GUI and expanding the Cluster Configuration->Network to
view all MSCS networks that were available and if "public network" was
one of them.
However, the parameter IP_NETWORK is optional and you could be commented
out. In that case the first MSCS network detected by the system was used.
Best regards,
Hinnerk Gildhoff

11GXE beta: Failed Installation on Windows XP SP3 with No errors

After struggling to understand why my database can't be started it appears that there was a series of errors during installation that left behind a 'crippled' instance with nor control or data files. NONE of this was reported by the Installation wizard. Only after digging into log files I'm able to see the extend of this failure.
I'm tracing this from the C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\scripts\XE.bat file that is used to configure the server
So looking at sequential log.
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\log\XE.bat.log
Instance created.then three scripts are executed
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\scripts\CloneRmanRestore.sql
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\scripts\cloneDBCreation.sql
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\scripts\postScripts.sql
The first one appears to fail and then of course the rest follow:
Here is the created log
SQL> startup nomount pfile="C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\scripts\init.ora";
ORA-28056: Writing audit records to Windows Event Log failed

ORA-01075: you are currently logged on
SQL> spool C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\log\cloneDBCreation.log
Many of the other logs contain mostly the echoed SQL staements and SP2-0640: Not connected
I'm thinking re-executing the XE.bat to recover. Any feedback?

I'm not sure that executing restore script will help.

I can't update mac os x from 10.6.4. During installation a window pops up that says: "error occurred during installation" I also cannot update iTunes

cannot update itunes or mac os x. I don't know why. Help?

Did you attempt to update with Software Update? Try this instead: download the combo updater here:

Once downloaded, unplug all peripherals except keyboard and mouse
Verify disk as outlined previously
install update
repair permissions (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)
restart Mac
run Software Update

repair permissions after the install
restart Mac

Window Sizing for Discoverer Desktop -- version 10.1.2.45.46c

I have something weird happening now with Discoverer desktop. I can only use it in Maximized screen mode. This just happened a few days ago.
Any suggestions

Did actually figure this out. These are the basic steps :
Minimized the screen
Clicked Alt and spacebar (this pops up a menu).
Selected Move.
Using cursor keys I arrowed down and right a couple of times (cursor starts in top left)
Then I clicked on screen and the Desktop window showed up. I resized to where I wanted it.
Did this process a couple of times until when I opened up a new window it came up to the size I wanted.

Discoverer Desktop enviroment installation

Separate Palm desktop installs for Palm M505 and its apps and Palm Treo 680 and its apps on same Windows XP computer?

Hello:
I'm trying to do a workaround. I've got a Palm M505 that has a terrific keyboard that hooks up to it. This lets me write documents in a very portable way. The Treo 680 never had the equivalent, really full-sized external keyboard made compatible with it. So, I want to create documents on the M505 but otherwise mostly use the Treo 680.
Here's the rub. When I tried to sync both devices to my Palm Desktop version 4.1.2 for Windows XP, it didn't work. Hotsync tries to synchronize apps that won't work on the M505. Also, the versions of Documents to Go are very different (5.x versus 8.x).
I would love to have a separate Palm Desktop installation for each device, so I can have a nice desktop environment for each by launching them separately. But, the Palm Desktop installation "wizard" shuts down and won't give me the opportunity to do a separate Desktop install.
Any ideas other than buying an ultra-small laptop and dropping this kludgy scheme? For instance, if I were to copy the installed files from one directory to another, would this work, or would it not be set up in the Registry?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Cingular)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Okay. Stubbornness pays off! I was able to beam documents between my Palm M505 and Treo 680, avoiding the need for complicated syncing of both Palms to my laptop machine. I was also able to beam documents from both Palms to my Dell Inspiron M300 laptop, running Windows XP Pro.
When beaming between Palm devices, the results were better. In the M505, Documents to Go version 5.004 doesn't translate documents into Microsoft Word format but into something it calls Word to Go. The Treo has DTG version 8.003, which is able to read files in Word to Go format and save in native Microsoft Word for Windows format.
However, even when beaming a Word to Go (old format) document directly onto the Desktop of my Windows XP machine, it gave me a document I could open, with the text I'd input following a bunch of characters Word obviously didn't understand. If I add the file from my desktop to the newer Documents to Go version on my laptop, I expect it will translate it into a Word file when it syncs to the Treo but haven't tested that. In either case, beaming between Palm devices is the easiest solution and completely solves the problem.
For any readers who are interested, the reason I've so stubbornly tried to solve this problem is that I'm a fast touch typist. My old Palm M505 plugs directly into a wonderful, old Palm Portable Keyboard that is full-sized. Because it's a hard-wired connection, I can type fast. That old keyboard compresses into the same folded footprint as some new foldover external keyboards. It does this even though much bigger by folding in an accordian-like fashion, with four flat surfaces folder together. That keyboard design now exists in some of the keyboards sold by IGo corporation (their old name for it was Sierra Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard). But, they were unable to figure out how to handshake their Bluetooth with the odd Bluetooth configuation in the Treo 680. Why Palm made the Bluetooth library different in the Treo 680 from other Treos is a mystery to me, but enough of this tangent. Some interested in this workaround may be curious for similar reasons.

Discoverer 11g Desktop installation for E-Business Suite 12.1.3

Hi All,
Is it possible to just create an EUL in my E-Business Suite 12.1.3 database (DB version is 11g R2) and use the latest version of Discoverer Desktop to connect to it and generate reports without having to install Fusion Middleware?
Thanks,
Sinan

Hi Michael,
The question is answered, so thank you. Since it is related, I want to ask the question here:
I installed
Oracle BI Discoverer Administrator - version 11.1.1.3.0
Oracle BI Discoverer Desktop - version 11.1.1.3.0
I was able to export from an old version (4i) and import it into a newly created EUL in my E-Business Suite 12.1.3 database (DB version 11.2.0.2 64-Bit), so I am able to login with the EUL user in Administrator, but I am not able to connect with an Application User using Discoverer Desktop.
I followed the document "Using Discoverer 11.1.1 with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 1074326.1]"
In Desktop -> Options -> Connections; "Connect to application EULs" is selected since the EUL I created was for Application Users ONLY.
Gateway UserID/password: applsyspub/pub
Foundation Name: apps
I get the infamous error message:
"Unable to connect to: APPSUSERNAME@PROD
Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applications database: invalid username/password."
If I change the option -> Connections to "Connect to both standard and applications EULs" I CAN login into Desktop using APPS/APPS@PROD or EUL5_US/EUL5_US@PROD, but I cannot see any of the imported Workbooks from the database.
Can you please advise as to what maybe wrong? Is this version of Discoverer certified with 12.1.3 on a 64-Bit Linux system? Could that be the reason?
Thanks,
Sinan

Hi,
Also try to install it with Windows 7 compatible mode for test.
If the issue persist, try to create another administrator account and logon to install again.

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.
