Discoverer EUL Management workbooks

We're running Discoverer 10.1.2.0.2. I didn't do the install, but remember seeing something about workbooks that can help you interrogate the EUL setup. Does anyone know where I can locate those?
Thanks!

Hi,
In the Oracle Discoverer Admin home on the workstation there should be EUL5.eex file in the discoverer/sql directory. If you import this file into your EUL the EUL management business area, folders and workbooks will be created.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

  • Discoverer EUL and workbook documentor

    Recently, my current client asked me if there was any easy way to document all the EUL information in one file. I generated the below pdf document
    Check this http://www.appsbi.com/discoverer_eul_snapshot_report.pdf
    Sample Discoverer EUL and Workbook Generated Document,
    but before I present this to my client I would like your opinion on whether the document is presentable, does it have all the necessary information, any flaws, any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I have played a bit with info-captor, but to no great detail.
    I agree it boils down to ease of use and ease of maintenance, but proficiency with a development tool also has a big part to play in it. Where I would choose reports or even Disco, you chose Infocaptor, and others would use yet another tool. Client requirements also play a part in it as well - mine wanted a PDF available from their intranet. So I am pushing the pdf out of OR, and making it available on the web. If they had wanted a dashboard, or something a bit more interactive, then OR was not going to be the appropriate tool.
    As I mentioned in my previous post - it is a slick looking report. But as Michael commented, it looks to be directed more to an admin than an end user (which may be fine depending on the audience).

    Hi,
    Most of the components of this document uses the seeded EUL workbook queries. The problem with the EUL workbooks is there is still a manual process involved in running each of the worksheets whereas this document generation is completely auto and fully configurable.

  • Discoverer EUL Workbooks - Query Statistics, Workbooks Queried By User

    Hi there.
    I've just ran Discoverer EUL workbooks and found out a nice functionality on one of those queries. It's on EUL Query Statistics workbook, "Workbooks Queried By User" worksheet (and others).
    If you take a look at the "Worksheet Usage" column, you'll notice that there's an effect that looks a lot like a "progress bar". According to the times that worksheet was used, this bar advances or retract.
    I noticed it's a calculated column, but when I try to edit it, it shows no more than COUNT_DISTINCT("Date & Sheet"). I got a little confused on how this COUNT_DISTINCT shows that "progress bar"....
    So... how can I implement this on my DM queries?
    TIA.

    You need Desktop. When you format the data, there is a check box to show graphical bars. This option is not available in Plus, but the bars will show up when the report is displayed in Plus.

  • Discoverer EUL Maintenance from Apps

    Hello
    To add setup changes and also key accounting and descriptive flexfields into Discoverer I think we need to regenerate the EUL views by running certain concurrent programs in Apps.
    On checking, I see 2 programs Discoverer End User Layer Maintenance, 1 for Financials Intelligence and 1 for Purchasing Intelligence. Are these the ones?
    Does anybody know about all the Apps concurrent programs to refresh Discoverer EULs with changes?
    Thanks

    well ... I hope they got their solution as it was over a year ago according to the original date of the post 8-)
    It sounds like you're talking about the BIS views in Oracle Apps. If so, yes, there's a process you run in Oracle Apps - as a particular user - to regenerate the BIS views in the database - and to pick up changes you've made in desc. flexfields, key flexfields, etc.
    Once done, the views in the database will be the correct 'generated' ones. However, you now have to bring the defintions into Disco EUL.
    You log into Disco Admin - and this is important - GO IN AS THE CORRECT USER who owns the database view (can't remember, but I think it's the account / responsibility that just did the regen in Apps). If you don't go in as the correct user (ie: you go in as a Disco EUL Admin, the owner of the EUL, sysadmin, etc.) - you're hosed. When you perform a refresh (and of course, don't check what changes it's talking about), then you'll lose all your views in the EUL (don't ask how I know this!).
    When you're in as the correct person, you perform a refresh on all BIS business areas, Disco Admin will compare your EUL's definition of the views vs the fancy, new ones in the database and add the columns (or may take away if so, old ones) to the ones in the EUL.
    However - just a note - if you're using a newer version of Oracle Apps (ie: including patches thay may have been done) than the last time you brought the BIS views into the EUL, you obviously won't see any new BIS views in the database that may have been added in the new version. The regen will compile them for you, but as you're performing a refresh, you may miss some hot, new, fantastic, save-the-company, views.
    That's a different story and one where you might want to make sure that the .eex file (that comes with upgrades and many patches) is the newest one used in the EUL when importing BIS view definitions.
    Sounds like fun ...

    Hello amib004,
    As far as I know Windows Update can't be run in safe mode. With that being said I have seen where installing multiple updates can conflict with each other. Try disabling all updates from installing and installing the failed updates one at a time.

  • ERD for Discoverer EUL tables

    Does anyone know if Oracle supplies an ERD for the Discoverer EUL tables. I would like to have such a thing to generate reports about system use etc.

    Hi Russ
    How are you doing?
    I'm afraid Oracle considers that to be proprietary information and is concerned over folks being able to reverse engineer the product hence they won't give away the inner workings of the EUL.
    However, they did allow me to publish some of the workings in my Discoverer 10g Handbook which are printed in Appendix A.
    In reality, if folks get hold of and install the EUL5 end user layer that is supplied on the Discoverer Admin CD it is not too hard to decipher most of what is going on.

  • Discoverer Plus - Manage Link option is not working in Viewer

    I am working on 10.1.2.3 Discoverer Plus. I have created one workbook with multiple worksheets (1 detail sheet and 4 Left Group Report.
    I have created seperate links for 4 worksheets. Drill to Details is working fine in discoverer plus and parameter values passed as per the mapping in managed link option.
    However, when I tried to access the report in Viewer, parameter values is not coming as per the mapping.
    In detail sheet we have several optional parameters
    from One summary Sheet, I am not passing all the values to the parameters in the detailed sheet.
    Those column for which, I am not passing any value is coming as NULL (it should come blank as report is treating NULL as string), so no data found

    Thanks Lloyd,
    Drill Down is working fine in Viewer and Plus.
    Parameter's passed from one sheet to another is also working fine in plus but in viewer I have some problems.
    Here are the details of the problem I am facing.
    I have 2 Summary Sheets and 1 Detail Sheet
    Sheet 1: 3 Parameters (Summary)
    Sheet 2: 4 Parameters (Summary)
    Sheet 3: 7 Parameters (Details)
    When I am clicking on Sheet1 to Drill down 3 parameters are having correct values but the 4 parameters which can't be passed to Sheet 3 is coming 'NULL' (NULL string value) so detail report is not showing any data. Similarly for Sheet 2 4 parameters are coming as expected but 3 are coming as NULL.
    When I am defining Manage Link Option, I am doing the mapping for 3 Column for Sheet 1 rest 4 columns are BLANK (no info).
    I hope now my problem will be clear.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Querying EUL for Workbooks That Use Specific Folders

    I have not been able to find the proper setup for this task. In Discoverer Administrator, if I click on a folder|click delete|impact, the workbooks that are displayed do not agree with the workbooks returned if I query the EUL. Does someone have a good, accurate solution to the problem?
    Thanks,
    Jerre

    Jerre,
    Please clarify your question with this additional information:
    In the Confirm Folder Delete dialog, are you choosing "Delete from this Business Area" or "Delete from the End User Layer"? You will only see the workbook dependencies when choosing "Delete from the End User Layer" and then clicking the "Impact" button. Even when deleting a folder from all business areas results in it becoming an orphan folder (and not available to dependent workbooks), the "Impact" button will not show you workbook dependencies if you have "Delete from this Business Area" selected.
    When you say that you are querying the EUL to find dependent workbooks, what query are you actually running? If you are doing this in SQL*PLUS, show the query you are using. If you are querying the EUL using a Discoverer worksheet, show the SQL query behind that. If your query uses EUL5_QPP_STATS it may not be giving you accurate results.
    And finally, which of your two methods produces the correct result?
    See this discussion thread if you haven't already read it:
    "Dependents Tab in DiscovererAdmin using sql on EUL" Re: Recreate Properties>Dependents Tab in DiscovererAdmin using sql on EUL
    and this: Re: How to find the folder for workbooks?

  • Discoverer EUL5 Status Workbooks

    Hi,
    We have tried to load the EUL5 Status Workbooks in to our EUL.
    Two of the 5 workbooks have loaded successfully but "Query Statistics", "Data Definition" and "Workbook Management" have not been imported. This appears to be an Access Privs issue, but we cannot resolve.
    Ran the EUL5.sql & EUL5_APPS.sql scripts as the EUL Owner and tried to import both as the EUL Owner and SYSADMIN, but neither worked.
    Any help appreciated.
    Michael.

    Hi,
    You will have to run these scripts again, they create objects in the EUL which will be different.

  • Discoverer EUL to OLAP

    Im new to using Discoverer technologies, I would like to ask if it is possible to convert an EUL (End User Layer) to OLAP (Online Analytic Processing) Anaytic Workspace. I would like to create a customized web applications using BI Beans. I already have my Discoverer Business Areas. Can I use these business areas into my BI beans application. I've read that the Discoverer Viewer is made from BI Beans... So Im wondering if it is possible...

    Hi
    Sorry this is not possible. There is no relatioship between an EUL and an analytic workspace. You'll have to do this manually I'm afraid.

  • Discoverer Library Management in Disco10g

    Hi,
    We recently upgraded from Disco4i to Disco10g. Business users are very much keen in new feature Library management in Disco10g. I want know whether we have to install Disco Library End user or software separately apart from Disco Admin.
    What configuration changes required in Disco Admin to install Library Mang?
    Your valuable inputs are highly appreciable
    Please share the information regarding this.
    Thanks in Advance
    AVN

    Hi AVN
    As Russ points out it was me who coined the term Discoverer Library. However, it is not really anything new. All I did was take the idea, as Russ mentioned, of a Master user and expanded that into a full-blown library concept / methodology.
    In my methodology I have multiple master user accounts, one each for the major functional areas of an organization. I use roles / responsibilities to manage the access. Whoever is designated as a functional library manager gets access to the library account in which all of the corporate reports for that area are being maintained. However, my concept calls for a lot more than just having a master account. It calls for corporate standards, auditing and documentation, thus moving Discoverer to a much higher level of reporting than many people think.
    You will find a lot more about this in my white paper which you can find on my download page here: http://learndiscoverer.com/downloads/downloads.htm
    By the way, I know this has been implemented in several organizations and it works.
    Best wishes

  • Accessing Discoverer EUL from XML Publisher

    Is there a way to use Oracle Discoverer's EUL from XML Publisher to build a report instead of creating a query directly?
    I'm just thinking of providing the ability to build fancy reports using XML Publisher to the end user that Oracle Discoverer doesn't provide.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have the same issue with XML Publisher.
    I made a directory under the xmlpserver\Reports called Guest.
    When i sign in with guest(without password), i can see and launch
    my report.
    But when use directly this URL:
    http://mycomputer:15101/xmlpserver/myreportdirectory/myreport.xdo
    the browser open the sign in page.
    Is there a mistake on the url or the configuration ?
    Thanks a lot.
