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

Discoverer Desktop installation fails on Windows 7

Hi All,

ERROR:
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements....
Checking operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 Actual 6.1
Failed <<<<
Exiting Oracle Universal Installer
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.

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:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/ias/101202/as_windows_x86_bi_tools_101202.zip
The Oracle Discoverer Desktop and Oracle Discoverer Administrator are included in a product known as:
Oracle BI Tools
and they are available only to Windows platform...., at least till 10g version....
Greetings...

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.

None. Discoverer Desktop is a client-server product available on Microsoft Windows.

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

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.

When i continue working on this sheet; All of sudden i get error screen as Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close
Basically i have two problems in desktop

2. All of sudden i get vague error as Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close
I would appreicate if some one can help on this.
Thanks!!

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

" 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

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.

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
Best wishes

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
DI

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.

Cascading LOVs in discoverer desktop 10

Hi
Is it possible to create Cascading parameters in Discoverer Desktop 10?
i know the possibility in discoverer plus but didn't find the "filter the lov based on the selected condition" radio button while creating the paramenter in Desktop10.
Thanks

Hi,
You do not have to upgrade the desktop or administrator (you can if you like to).
can i install Plus as client?No, the plus is installed on IAS or weblogic
you can search this forum for links to download, and it will need installation and configuration.
the same schema, reports, configuration will work on Plus?Yes it will as long as the configuration is right.

Installing Discoverer Desktop 9

For some reason, on one of the PC that I am installing Discoverer Desktop, I am getting the error below. This is during the process where Oracle Universal Installer is running.
Dependencies:
The Windows System Files install has not been run on this machine. One or more operating system files currently in use need to be updated. Setup cannot continue with the installation until the files are updated. Click OK to close this dialog. .....
Any idea what might be conflicting? thanks

Did you try running the system files install option?
You should be fine and not have any conflict with Windows.

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.
