Discoverer Drill Down Sample

Hi all,
I am new in discoverer, will like to have sample on how to do the drill down. I have created two folder in one business area. I will like to have drill down when user click on the column in first folder say po column, the drill down will happen which will take from the second folder to display the further data of PO column that selected.
How to do that ? Can send some sample to my email, [email protected]
Thanks.
regards
Lim

I agree with Puppethead on this as well.
Many times clients say they must have drill-down, but it many cases, it just confuses end users. It is cool when you have something like gl_companies in a summed up worksheet and you drill on the company to say, the division, then to the account, etc. - and all from just the one company. But again, most end users I deal with don't need that functionality.
They'd be just as happy to have a summary worksheet showing just the total values for, in this case, the gl companies, labelled say ... oh I don't know ... summary?
And then have a detail wroksheet showing much further detail for those companies labelled ... well let's throw the sheets to the wind ... detail?
And this please most end users.
So I would suggest writing a report like described first and then seeing if this is what the end users really wants. If they want drill-down, then fine, but just from experience ... few end users really do (they just like the term - drill down).

Discoverer drill Down error.

HI
I have installed Oracle BI 10.1.2. I have applied the patch 59672969 to resolve some bugs related to drilling down. However in discoverer viewer I do the follwing
1. Expand a workbook and select one of the sub workgroups
2. Enter the parameters needeed on the next page
3. Expand one of the columns on the next page and select an option from the list that appears.
The Following error appears:
An error occurred while handling the Even. See application log for more details.
Empty input (or null input) is not allowed

Can Discoverer drill down include summary and details?

Let's say I have a set of bonds in different accounts.
Each bond has an account, product_type, rating_group and book_value.
I show an initial report with account and sum(book_value).
then I want to "Drill to related" to see the sum of book value by rating group.
When I do this, I no longer have the total book value for the whole account. I just have it for each rating group within the account. I want to be able to still see the sum of the book value for all rating groups and also see how it's broken out by rating group.
For example:
I start with this:
Account | Book Value
C-BASS | $1M
Then I drill to related -> "Rating Group" and it looks like this:
Account | Rating Group | Book Value
C-BASS | AAA | $0.5M
C-BASS | AA | $0.25M
C-BASS | A | $0.25M
I want it to look like this (or something like this):
Account | Rating Group | Book Value
C-BASS | All | $1M
C-BASS | AAA | $0.5M
C-BASS | AA | $0.25M
C-BASS | A | $0.25M

Error: "Numeric value entered was too low " -drill down discoverer report

Hi ,
We have created a Discoverer drill down report (drill down to another worksheet). We have two worksheets one for the master and and the other for the detail.The parameters are passed to detail sheet (The link information is set using the Manage links option in the Discoverer plus) from the master. This whole thing works fine in dev instance.
We imported the business area . Deleted the existing file and the opened the new .dis file from local computer and then saved it to db.
Now the master report runs fine and when we click on the drill down link for the detail we get the following error
An error occured while handling the event.See the application log for more details.
- The numerical value entered was too low."
However the link works fine in plus and desktop in the same instance.
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Shobana

I hope you're not using Internet Explorer v7.
It has a specific problem with Disco Viewer, is not certified to work with it, and the error is drilling in Viewer.
The Oracle bug (metalink) is: 5608740
This bug prevents the listing of drill items under the drill icon.

Strange behavior with hidden text field for drill down

Hi All,
I am pretty sure I know the cause, just not sure how to work around...
I am trying to create a drill down report just like in the App Dev guide, and I have done everything the same as the example (2 times, once to follow the guide, and now on my app). The only difference is that I am using a text field rather than a numeric field as the link. This shouldn't be a problem (I wouldn't think) except that the text I NEED to use has '<==' in the middle. So when I check my session state var's, this is what I see:
CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ <==20060525101642
When what I should see is:
CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ <==20060525101642
So I think that I am gettting duplication because of the characters, but again I don't know how to solve it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Scott,
I am trying to create a drill down report similar to the one in the app developers guide. I have a query on pg 1 that includes the required text field as the link. When I click the link, I get an error on pg 2 - which is trying to use the value from pg 1. I did check and saw that even though I set this value in session state (I thought that was what happened when I assigned the 'name' and 'value' in the column link), it is passed in the url, which is where I figured it was breaking. As stated, I need to use this text value as it is the only unique key for the data (currently - this is a data validation step (not an ApEx validation), where users are handling issues with data uploaded from a csv).
My current process is as follows:
1. User uploads 2 csv's
2. Proc moves (from wwv_flow_files) and parses csv back into records and inserts into temp (all varchar2) table(s).
3. User is displayed 3 'reports' - for each type of validation required - from the stage/temp table
4. User would click on the 'Edit' link (like the drill down sample) to see more details about the record.
5. Once the user is done with these reports, they would click another button to 'process' the data (move it into base tables)
Because the text field is always unique, I figured I wouldn't create a sequence for this like I have for the 'base' (destination) tables.
I didn't know that I was using a 'get' rather than a 'post', but of course it is a link, not a button - so I should ahve known better.
Is there a way to do this without adding a sequence generated id for each, or is that just the quickest way?
Thanks again,
Corey

Discoverer Report - Drill down

Hi Friends,
initially I have executed the discoverer report and got the data in 5 min, but when I am trying to drill down for some column the same report It is re-executing the query again. Actually while doing drill down it should not re-execute the query.
Kindly suggest is there any setting/solution for the same.
Regards
Pankaj

Are you drilling down by choosing the 'drill to related item' or something like that?
Or are you using a hierarchy that you've set up already?
I'm asking as I've never like the drill-down concept in Disco in that you get all columns back in another worksheet that's totally ugly and not end user friendly.
However, when I've set up a hierarchy and drilled down the hierarchy it just opens the new rows within the level I'm at in the same worksheet and doesn't seem to take any more time.

URGENT!! Drill Down Error with Character Set non-ascii on Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
We have an error in a Drill down. It comes up when the Discoverer Viewer tries to process data that contains special character (non-ascii) in a query's filter. The same report that does not perform well with special characters, does perform well if the data dont contains special characters, so it seems to be an issue processing non-ascii chars in this Discoverer Viewer instance.
Ex. FIELD_NAME = 'Ã¶ÜÃ¦Ã¤é (This filter is contained in a query that this getting an error msg="We're sorry, the server encountered an unexpected condition" ).
It might be possible that there are some problems with the Discoverer charset ?
We will appreciate any suggestion about this respect.

Drill-down reports Discoverer-style

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to implement drill-down reports in HTMLDB. All the references I found are showing details in a 2nd page for a certain row in the 1st page (e.g. ordered items for an order ID).
I'm not looking for this, but for drill-down "a la Discoverer", such as this example
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/discoverer/discoverer_1012/viewer/lesson1.htm#t7
One can select there multiple criterias for drill down.
Perhaps the solution would be a combination of tree reports with standard reports
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_tree.html
but I don't see clearly how to do it, especially with a lot of drill-down options.
Do you have any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Marius

I think there are two differen approaches:
- using the HTML report and doing some "dynamic" SQL at the block level
(That means you have to write the drill down - this is the logic that
is done by the tree - by yourself)
If you ever have done the work to do this in combination with a HTML DB report,
please post it here.
- using the a Tree Page with a special layout and view
Which one to use depends on how often you have to use this.
You can see an example under:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=41053:30
Here is a quick hack for the Tree Page variant, that may help you.
Using a Tree page uning a view and changing the tree template gives you some of
this functionality. If you have to do more of this kind use a stylesheet (.css) to
controll the layout.
1. Create a View that represents your Hierarchy (Structure)
For every level create a UNION secion.
Using UNION you can get the records from different sources also.
2. Create a Page with a Tree, SQL Query Based.
Use the View that you created before.
NAME .. are the levels of your dimensions
A1, A2 .. are your measures of your fact
ID, PID .. the hierarchy (structure) information
* Step 1 - creating a view:
create or replace view tree as
select id, pid, name, link, a1, a2
from (
-- Level 1 (Root Level)
select
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY') id, null pid,
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY') name, null link,
to_char(sum(ORDER_TOTAL),'999G9990D99') a1, to_char(count(*),'999G9990D99') a2
from DEMO_ORDERS
group by
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY')
UNION
-- Level 2
select
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMM'), to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'Month'), null,
to_char(sum(ORDER_TOTAL),'999G9990D99'), to_char(count(*),'999G9990D99')
from DEMO_ORDERS
group by
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMM'), to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'Month')
UNION
-- Level 3 (Leaf Level)
select
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMMDD'), to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMM'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'DD. Day'), null,
to_char(sum(ORDER_TOTAL),'999G9990D99'), to_char(count(*),'999G9990D99')
from DEMO_ORDERS
group by
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMMDD'), to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMM'),
to_char(ORDER_TIMESTAMP,'DD. Day')
)If you have a lot of this kind of reports you realy should think to
use discoverer. It does a lot of sql behind the szenes and also in the
presentation logic - this is what you have to do here by hand.
If you have more than two measures (A1,A2) you can do the
formatting in your view (realy ugly, but it is a workaround).
* Step 2: Create the tree page
Tree Query:
select
"ID" id, "PID" pid, "NAME" name,
null link, a1 a1, a2 a2
from TREEBefore Tree:

Discoverer 10g r2 (SSL) drill down issue

Hi,
We have encountered a strange drill down problem with Discoverer Viewer. When configured to run in SSL mode on port 443, the drill feature in Discoverer Viewer doesn't work. When drilled, the generic html message "This page cannot be displayed" is seen. The problem disappears when the SSL port is changed to 4443 or when SSL is disabled. We don't come across this problem in Plus, no matter what the port is.
The discoverer version is 10g r2 on Linux 2.4.
Has anyone faced a similar problem? Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Regards,
Chethan

Hi ,
1. You need to include Perl 5.6.1 (or later) installed and in the PATH.
2. Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to point to the BI Midtier Home.
3. Add %ORACLE_HOME%\OPatch in the PATH
4 . Once the one-off patch bundle is downloaded extract the patch contents under a directory
5. Stop the service using opmnctl stopall
6. Run Database OPATCH utility with the right parameters to proceed with the patch installation
cd <directory where the patch contents were extracted >
opatch apply
7. Start the service using opmnctl startall
You can see the list of patch installed by opatch lsinventory
Thanks,

Discoverer Viewer - Drill down option

Dear all
I created a report in discoverer desktop, with drill down option for financial information.It works fine in Disco Desktop. All the drill down options are working fine as well. But the same report when run in disco viewer, it has got an option for drilling down further, then another option for collapse(with the blue button) - to view the summary value.
When the collapse option is chosen, the blue color button disappears in Viewer and wouldnt know how to drill down back without reloging into the application.
Could you please help me how to solve this problem, as I need to share this report with users who has viewer access only?We are using 9i at the moment.
Thanks.

Hi Russ
I have heard folks having awful issues with IE 7. It seems to mess up everything Oracle. Sounds like Oracle and Microsoft have some hurdles to cross. For now I would advise everyone to either stay on IE 6 or use another browswer like Firefox.
To answer the specific question posted here, it is possible that the user has hit one of the well known Discoverer bugs wherein Discoverer Viewer cannot properly execute workbooks created in Desktop. There are fixes and one-off patches available for this in MetaLink but these patches all require a password to download them. I would advise the raising of a service request and in the request spefically ask if there is a one-off patch that will fix this.
Best wishes for now

Discoverer plus drill down looses workbook formatting

Hi,
I am having a strange issue with my discoverer workbook. I have created a report with drill down for example
here is the hierarchy i am trying: [http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/6787/hierarchy.png]
now on the net sales level I have grouped the region column by selecting "Group Sort" on that column and same on the customer column and net sales column. but the problem happens when i go down to the next level. for example the customer level at this point the grouping of the region goes away and the report looks ugly. so basically it has lines like:
Net Sales east region cust1
Net Sales east region cust2
Net Sales west region cust1
Net Sales west region cust2
instead of:
Net Sales east region cust1
cust1

Hi,
I tried your suggestion but that didn't work. i still loose formatting when i drill up and then drill back down.
I thought maybe these images will help better explain please have a look. I had to break it to make the images look more clear.

Discoverer: Disable drill down

Greetings,
Has anyone out there tried to disable drill down for a discoverer report?
Sometime drill down looses it's context.
Thanks for any help,
Bradley
