Discoverer eul version

hello
been using discoverer 4.1.37
i'm testing the upgrade to 4.1.48 but when i connect to the EUL i'm not getting any "EUL needs upgrading" messages.
can you confirm what the eul version should be for discoverer 4.1.48
when i look at the eul4_versions table it says 4.1.14
cheers

Going back a bit in my memory, but I'm sure I remember that the 4.1.48 upgrade did indeed need a new EUL as many changes were made - a way better version.
Once you're on 4.1.48, I believe you can't go back down to the lower version either, due to the same reason; new features, etc. added that weren't supported before.
The key issue for you is not that it needs a new EUL, but when you upgrade your existing EUL, is it a destructive upgrade or not? In otherwords, does it create a entirely different brand spankin' new EUL, or does it alter the old one.
Alter the old one and you've got problems if people are using the old one. A new one and you can test it to your hearts content and migrate reports into the new one before turning off the old one.
I'm 99% sure it's not a destructive upgrade and indeed, creates an entirely new EUL. Maybe someone can add in if they're 100% certain.

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 ...

Oracle 9iAS Discoverer Viewer - version 9.0.2.53.16 - Exit Button

We are using Oracle 9iAS Discoverer Viewer - version 9.0.2.53.16. Is it possible to remove or customize the 'Exit' button in discoverer viewer? If yes then how?

Nevermind. I found a different solution.

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.

EUL version 3.1.13 in a 4.1.x enviroment

Hey there.
This is an interesting - and perplexing - one to me.
I'm combining 2 EULs together into 1. All that's fine, but where I'm surprised is that I'm running Disco client 4.1.48.08.
When I run the following SQL query:
SELECT 'EUL_OWNER' which_eul,
a.ver_eul_timestamp,
a.ver_min_code_ver,
a.ver_release,
a.ver_sa,
a.ver_name,
a.ver_description
FROM eul_owner.eul_versions a
UNION
SELECT 'EUL_US' which_eul,
a.ver_eul_timestamp,
a.ver_min_code_ver,
a.ver_release,
a.ver_sa,
a.ver_name,
a.ver_description
FROM eul_us.eul4_versions a
I compare the 2 eul versions. EUL_US comes back with a version of: 4.1.14.0.0 (that's good) while the other EUL - EUL_OWNER comes back with a version of: 3.1.13.0.0.
There's no problem on the export from 3 to the import of 4 (well I'm assuming there's no problem) but does anyone know how this even works correctly?
I thought that if you try to connect 4.1x to a 3.1x EUL, it would automatically say it's out of date and to upgrade - or is this only when I connect into the 3.1x EUL as the EUL owner (ie: database owner)?
Just wondering if anyone had seen this as I don't see why it's never made the 3.1x EUL to be upgraded.
Thanks.
Russ

Forget it ... must be the drugs ...
I see in that particular EUL schema that there is an EUL_VERSIONS table and also an EUL_EUL4_VERSIONS table.
Actually, the closer I look there are alot of tables from the non-4 version (3.x) and the 4 version (4.x).
Therefore, on the upgrade from v3 to v4, it wasn't a destructive upgrade (good), but the v4 files were not put in another schema which I guess makes sense but just makes it difficult for someone (ie: me) years after the fact to see.
So, no probs, just have to learn to look at all the tables in the schema!

Discoverer desktop version

I created the worksheet using oracle discoverer desktop version in report developer suite.How can i publish it to the web?

In the Desktop version did you save your workbook to the database? There's an option to save to Database and after you do that you can share the workbook to other users. Once that is done, authorized users can view the workbook through Discoverer Plus or Viewer.

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 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).

AS 10g Discoverer EUL Upgrade

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 Olszyk

Don'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!)

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

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.
Christophe.

Migrate discoverer eul and reports to obiee

hi
is it possible to migrate from discoverer 9i to obiee 11g?
thanks

Hello
It depends how simple your workbooks are. The more complex they are the more difficult they are to migrate and some Discoverer features will be lost during the translations. Some Discoverer features will not migrate at all.
At this moment in time, with the current state of DOMA, I am coming down on the side of starting from scratch with OBIEE. There are, in my opinion, just too many of Discoverer's nice features that will not migrate. Starting from scratch will allow you to take advantage of all that OBIEE has to offer. Migrating could limit you to what Discoverer had to offer.
You could try a migration and see how much work there is still left to do. However, before you can do that you will need to upgrade Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 at the minimum. If you have already upgraded Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 or 11g you should be able to migrate the metadata. The only supported OBIEE version at this time is 10.1.3.4.1. After you have migrated to 10.1.3.4.1 you can then upgrade it to 11g.

ICX profile settings for Discoverer EUL

Hi, I'm using Discoverer 4i Viewer with E_Business and I create a new EUL.
How can I switch from the old EUL to the new one in order to see my reports ?
I found this note on the Discoverer Forum:
"Looks like you are using Oracle E-Business. If you launch
discoverer viewer from E_Business then your ICX profile settings determine
which EUL you be connecting to.
The ICX profile settings is in your E-Business profile settings."
Where can I find and modify my ICX profile settings ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Thanks for your help guys, but unfortunately it doesn't still work....
My previous EUL was called just "EUL". Now I created a new one called "EULEXP" and I modified the parameter ICX_DEFAULT_EUL with the value "EULEXP", but when I try to access my reports from Discoverer Viewer, automatically into the URL call appear again eul=EUL and not eul=EULEXP as shown below:
http://gnvdev.ote.gr:8025/discoverer4i/viewer?ac=ORACLE~3a~22OTE~20HELPDESK~22~40crmdb&eul=EUL&nlsl=en-us&wbk=STATISTIC_REPORT_2_OK1
If I try manually to set eul=EULEXP I have this error
Authentication Failed.
(Default or specified schema containing EUL tables is inaccessible )
Where do I make the mistake ?
Thanks
Alex
