Discoverer Desktop Report issue

Hi,
One of my user is facing a format issue while running the report in Oracle Discoverer 10g. The report produces the following out put.
count(Col A)     Col B     Col C     Col D
12          A     200709     12-Sep-07
11          A     200709     21-Sep-07
24          B     200709     11-Sep-07
32          B     200709     13-Sep-07
10          B     200710     15-Oct-07
Col A is of number data type, Col B character, Col C is number and Col D is date
if Col D is removed from the report, the user is getting the result in following format
count(Col A)     Col B     Col C
23          A     401418
56          B     401418
10          B     200710
i.e. col C displays the sum of the value based in Col B instead of displaying it as 200709.
but when I ran the report from my end I'm getting the result in a proper manner.
count(Col A)     Col B     Col C
23          A     200709
56          B     200709
10          B     200710
Please help me in sorting out this issue.
Environment Details:
Oracle Discoverer Admin 10g(9.0.4)
Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10g (9.0.4)
End User Layer 5.0.2
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
SS

@Himanshu3jul:
I'm not using any Oracle Application secure views. Also, the data that are being displayed is proper if Col D is not removed. If user removes Col D, the result is getting aggregated based on Col B but for me it is showing in a perfect manner.
@puppethead:
I'm afraid I may not be able to the check the registry on user machine since user is sitting at a different location.
@Rod West:
The default Aggregate property for Col C is set to <none> and it is grayed out. I'm not able to change it too. Also, if it is a bug then I should get the result as what user receives but I'm not facing any issues in that report but only user is.
Please let me know what can be done next to figure it out.
Also, I have the screen shots from my machine and from user’s. if you think that it will really help then I can post it. please let me know where and how I can post it so that you can have a look at it.
Thanks,
SS

All the SQL functions - to use in Discoverer-desktop reporting?

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me where i can find all the SQL functions, <conditional stmts> etc - to use in Discoverer-desktop reporting?.
Thx, Sree

Hi,
I am not quite sure what you mean. You can see all the functions available when you edit a workbook. Create a calculation and select the functions, your custom functions will be under database functions. Conditions are on the condition tab.

Oracle Discoverer Desktop Reports - pdf file

Hi,
I'm new in using Oracle Discoverer Desktop application, wanted to find out if it is possible to convert discoverer desktop report to a pdf file some how?
Please help.

Hi,
There is no direct way to generate PDF from Disco Desktop. However, you can install a PDF converter and use Disco Desktop to print to the PDF converter print device.

Discoverer Desktop 10g : Issue with Chinese Characters

Hi ,
Discoverer Desktop 10g client is having issue in displaying Chinese data. My report has chinese characters in it and the same does not get displayed properly when run from Discoverer desktop. However, when I export the report in html format and opened it in browser, it is displaying the chinese characters properly. Browser was set to Unicode(UTF-8) character set.
I tried changing to different fonts in Discoverer Desktop, but couldn't get the chinese character issue resolved in Desktop.
Could someone , please tell me how to fix this issue ?
Please mail directly to [email protected]
Thanks
Venkatesh

I am facing the same issue too. I think it is a problem with the fonts. Get back to you later if I find any solutions.

Oracle Discoverer Desktop Report output showing unicode characters

Hi,
Oracle Discoverer Desktop 4i version Report output showing the below unicode characters.
kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
We ran the same query in sql at that time the data showing correctly.
Please let me know, is there any language settings/ NLS settings are need to set
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_BIToolsHome_1
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry
Best wishes

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!

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.

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.

Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2 error while opening the report.

Hi ,
Do you know why I would be able to open a report from a Discoverer Plus responsibility in Oracle Financials but not from Discoverer Desktop?
The report was owned by User1 and shared with both Admin1 and AdminUser1. I have tried accessing the report with both user names, and in both cases, I get the error shown below when I am logged into Desktop but I do not get the error when I log in through the application.
Error message:
Join configuration cannot be resolved. Reason: more than 1 of the detail folder uses non-aggregated items
Thanks!

Hi,
try the solution suggested in below thread.

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.

How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
for this].
also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
any quick answers greatly appreciate..
thx,

Hi,
That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.

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?

Average no value in crosstab report (Discoverer Desktop)

Hello experts,
I have a crosstab report, and i want to use avg to a calculation field, but in crosstab i have no values and when i make drill down i have values under my group.
how can i solve this?
Edited by: user13062021 on 18-Feb-2011 07:44

I make this change to my values "nvl(<item>,0) but nothing happened. In discoverer plus the values are correct but in discoverer desktop the values are null.
Instead of this in analytical sheet i do not have null values to this column.
For your information,
in analytical sheet i have a calculation field with round and nvl functions, and i calaculate this field from the analytical sheet to crosstab sheet with an AVG() function, and cannot claculate.
When I first make this sheet the values in discoverer desktop are all correct, but on the other day when I make refresh to my sheet the values are null.
