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.
Best wishes

Hi....
Our company had installed Oracle Application Server 10g and using Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18) and also creating the EUL as the data storage/mapping for our workbooks/reports.
Our company has a plan to use Discoverer Plus for OLAP and already installed the discoverer catalog.
How to create a connection using option "Connect To" OracleBI Discoverer for OLAP ?
What is the diffrence between Discoverer Catalog and Analytic Workspace?
What tools that we must use to create data for OLAP (to create some dimensions, measures etc)?
Any Help will be appreciated
Thanks,
HandokoHi Handoko,
You can establish a connection from Discoverer Plus for OLAP, by specifying the database connect information in the form of HOST:PORT:SID (e.g MyServer.com:1521:orcl10g).
The Discoverer OLAP catalog is used to store end-user reports and is installed and maintained using Application Server Control console. It allows you to install the catalog and authorize users to store reports in the catalog. The Analytic Workspace Manager is used to define your multi-dimensional model and load the data from source tables.
Mark Rittman provides some indepth documentation, have a look at the link below :
http://www.rittman.net/2004/11/29/understanding-the-role-of-the-olap-catalog/
& Oracle’s info:

Hope this helps.

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

IBM Business Consultingwell ... 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 ...

Has Discoverer Plus for OLAP any future?
It only one desktop product for Oracle OLAP, but no evolution last time and require more functionality.

Currently it is available only for Win32 and Solaris. I'm told that it will be available on other ports sometime in April.
Also a word of warning - 10.1.2.3 does not contain the fixes released for 10.1.2.2 in CP4, CP5 and CP6. There will be a one-off patch released shortly for 10.1.2.3 containing these fixes. -

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 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
Nilesh
http://www.appsbi.comI 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). -

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.

I have installed App Server 10g and as such the Discoverer server requires the repository to be at 5.0.1.x. My current repository is 9.0.4.43.15.0. How can I upgrade this to? What Disco Admin version shall I use? My current disco admin is from the iDS CDs for version 9.0.2.0.1. Please advise.
Thanks!
Karen OlszykDon't know if this will help...
My PRODUCTION version is 4.1.44.
I created an EUL via admin using the version 5.
Once 10g was released, I had to delete the EUL5_ EUL that I had created earlier and re-convert my version 4 to 10g version of Discoverer. (Works great now!)
