Discoverer figures rounding up/down!!!

Hi,
I am running a report in discoverre which draws out employees FTE. These information when viewed in the background are decimal values.... But in discoverr they are being rounded up or down to whole numbers. How do I stop this please!!!

Not to worry. Have found that this is due to the formatting of the data. I have now formatted the worksheet to show data as it appears in database

How to add the required characterists and key figures to drill down report?

hi,
i am creating a drill down report using t.code FKI4. however i noticed that some of the characteristics and key figures required by me is not listed in the report catalog. how can i add the required characteristis and key figures to the report catalog?

Hi Inna,
Based on my research, a drilldown report is a layout design that at first hides complexity and enables the user to toggle conditionally hidden report items to control how much detail data they want to see. Drilldown reports are used to change the report
layout interactively. So it wouldn’t affect the rows displayed in the outmost group. Though some rows are hidden when the report is initially run, it will still count them. This is by design.
Furthermore, if I understand correctly, you also expect the outmost group is a dynamic group depends on the drilldown action, right? As per my understanding, this function still cannot be achieved at this moment.
Thanks for your understanding.

Discoverer viewer drill up -down error

hai,
While i am doing drill up and drill down in discoverer viewer..i am getting error like this
DiscoNetworkException - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.TRANSIENT: minor code: 0 completed: No
null
plz tell me what should i do to solve this..
regards
chandrakumar

Hi Chandrak,
Perhaps the reason you don't get many answers is that you often ask the same question several times, sometimes only hours apart (as if there were 10,000 of us sitting here watching the forum all day, poised to answer "chat-style"). The questions are often very simple (in the help or the manual). Most are marked "urgent". (People begin to ignore the driver who blows his horn all the time.)
Anyway, I didn't know how to edit the title of a worksheet either, so I created one, and right-clicked the mouse on the title to see what would happen, and lo and behold, up popped a context menu with the selection "Edit Title". That took about 20 seconds.
Then I looked to the menu bar, pulled down the [Sheet] menu and there was an "Edit Title" selection there also.
Once you are into the "Edit Title" dialog box, there's a [Help] button.

Discoverer 10 g drill down report regarding

hi
actually report has already done in oracle discoverer 4i ,now i want to upgrade to oracle discoverer 10 g .
so could you help me in getting the upgrade to 10 g .
thanks
mahesh

Hi,
The process to upgrade Disco 4i to Disco 10g is straightforward. You install Disco 10g and then open the Disco 4i EUL using the Disco 10g Admin and request an upgrade. Workbooks stored in the EUL will also be upgraded.

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

SQL*Plus: compute sum of tablespaces; incorrect figures

Hi,
I wonder if someone would be interested in checking the below script.
It is from Darl Kuhn's book 'Pro Oracle Database 11g Administration' (page 81) , and the code can be freely
downloaded from Apress' website, so I guess it's OK to post it here. I assume it's a standard script most DBA's have, anyway.

Secondly, if I sum all the rows in a spreadsheet, they are
1171.668 931.897 239.758
Do you get similiar results, i.e. the script sums incorrectly?
If yes, can anybody spot the error? I can't..
Thanks very much!

Discoverer Olap Plus - Drill to Detail using URL's

We are using the "Manage Links" feature in Discoverer Plus to send dimension value names in a URL. As part of the "Manage Links" feature, the user is given the opportunity to choose which dimension values for the selected cells they want to include in the URL.
We are attempting to create URL's to drill from Discoverer Plus to more detailed Oracle Reports, which will use the dimension values in sql statements . One problem we noticed is for each dimension we can not select multiple values to send in the URL.
For example;
I have a URL I want to append selected dimension values from Discoverer Plus.
We have 2 dimensions each containing 5 dimension values. We use Discoverer Plus to filter down to 2 dimension values for each dimension to be included in our url.
Time: Nov2007, Dec2007
Division: USCCSLT, USCCLSY
Measure: Flux
URL:
https://corpdev.ffmb.com:11228/reports/rwservlet?RPT_TEST_XLS=<TIME:VALUE>, <DIV:VALUE>
When the link executed, the EXIT URL only contains the first dimension value for each dimension. I have included the exit URL below:
Result:
https://corpdev.ffmb.com:11228/reports/rwservlet?RPT_TEST_XLS=Nov2007,USCCSLT
It should contain Nov2007, Dec2007, USCCSLT, USCCLSY.
I've tried a variety to things in the Manage Links, but it always sends out just one dimension value.
According to the choices given in "Manage Links", it is not supposed to work this way.
I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong, because I don't see many posts here related to creating Discoverer Plus URL's.
If anyone encountered this and came up with a solution, I'd be interested to read your comments.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi There:
If you had figured it out, please let me know.

Discoverer need a long time to open a workbook

Hi,
we have 2 workbooks with over 60 calculations/workbook
and the discoverer need over 2 min to open the parameter window.
looks that the discoverer check all calculations if they are valid or not before display the parameter window.
we had no problems with this 2 workbooks until our DBA's move our DB-Server to a other destination. (time for open 25 sec/workbook)
now, the network to the new destination is not so fast like the old one.
a trace gave us the follow information.
the discoverer send round 50,000 small packages to the DB
to the old Destination: 1ms/package
to the new Destination: 10ms/package
is there a way to disable the check function (Registry?) or know anyone what do the discoverer between "open workbook" and display the parameter window?
This 2 Workbooks are our most used query's in the company.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestion you may have which can help in addressing this issue.
Thanks,
Maurice

Maurice,
Have you discussed this issue with your network administrator? Another place is to check with the DBA if the new DB lacation's storage and memory. To tune the discoverer report itself, you may try to create a materilized view, or have a custom folder for each workbook.

Rounding up values in Print Layout Designer

The customer has a database field in print layout designer and this is bringing back a value such as 0.25. They would like to create another field which shows this value rounded up to the nearest whole number, ie in the case of 0.25 they would like to see 1.
They have created a formulae field and used the round function, however this rounds the value down to the nearest whole number as per the general rounding rule i.e. round it down if it is below .5 and up to the nearest whole number when it is above .5
Is there anyway to achieve this using Print Layout Designer in SAP Business One 2007 A?

Hi Samantha,
Apologies for the delay.
Yes, its possible to do this. Firstly, you will need to use the fields from my earlier post. However you will also need to add some more formula fields
The first formula field will work out what the numbers are to the right of the decimal point:
DecimalRight(Field_101)
Field_101 in your case will be the field ID for the quantity field and the field ID for the above formula field will be Field_102.
The second formula field will work out if the quantity is a whole number, here the field id will be Field_103:
Field_102==' '
The third formula field will work out if the quantity is not a whole number, here the field id will be Field_104:
Field_102!=' '
You can now use the Link To functionality to link the original quantity rounded field to Field_103 and you can link the quantity plus 0.5 rounded field to Field_104.
Kind regards,
Adrian

Rounding to 1000 no decimals

Hi Gurus..
In my report I want to see the KEY FIGURES rounding to 1000, I dont want the decimals to be displayed how do I do that... Thanx...
Preethu

Hi Preethu,
In your Key figure properties you can set the scaling factor and also the number of decimal places. This can be done in the query or also at the workbook level.
Hope this helps...

What version of Discoverer are you running? I'm assuming 10.1.2 but I would look at the 2 URL parameters
pluspopup and framedisplaystyle
From the Oracle Documentation:
When using popup in conjunction with framedisplaystyle=, the possible combinations are:
pluspopup=true and framedisplaystyle=embedded launches Discoverer Plus in a new pop-up browser window that contains the Plus applet embedded in it.
pluspopup=true and framedisplaystyle=separate opens a new pop-up browser window and launches Discoverer Plus in a new applet window.
This combination launches three windows: the original browser window (i.e. Discoverer Connections page), the new browser window containing the Discoverer image, and the JFrame window containing the Discoverer Plus applet.
pluspopup=false and framedisplaystyle=embedded launches Discoverer Plus in the current browser window.
See if those help you out, if not let me know and we can dig into this further
Matt Topper

pluspopup=false and framedisplaystyle=separate launches Plus in a JFrame window. The current browser window contains the Discoverer image.

Formulas and Rounding

Two things here that I've found problematic.
-How can I set cells to display the formulas I have typed into them, rather than the formula outcome?
-My Numbers is rounding 5s down, not up? Is this An American thing or a fault in Numbers?
Anyone got any ideas?

Mine (US English) seems to be always rounding up... 1.5->2, 2.5->3
Are we testing this the same way? I've entered some numbers (1.5, 2.5) and then referred to them in another cell with a format of zero decimal places.
In my experience there are three rounding schemes use to handle 5s:
(1) Round 5s down
(2) Round 5s up
(3) Round 5s even... 1.5->2, 2.5->2, 3.5->4, 4.5->4, etc, used so that on average half are randomly rounded up, half down.
Of these 3, I would say that (1) is least common. Are you sure that rounding is occurring? Does 1.6->2?

Error migrating Discoverer preferences...

Hi friends,
I'm in the middle of a Discoverer migration (4i to 10.1.2 , Apps version: 11.5.10.2 DB: 9.2.0.8, OS: Red Hat Linux 2.1)
I'm migrating the preferences following the 313418.1 Metalink note. (Step 5)
Following the Discoverer Configuration Guide 10gR2, There, in appendix B.7.1 it says that command is:
> <ORACLE_HOME_2>/discoverer/util/dis51pr -migrate -from 102
I tried to execute and the result is:
u01/erpbat/aeaora/disco10/bin/dis51pr: error while loading shared libraries: libTAO_PortableServer.so.1.3.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've looked for libTAO_PortableServer.so.1.3.1 file, and I've found it under
[appldes:]:/u01/erpbat/aeaora/disco10/discoverer/lib directory.
(my ORACLE_HOME is /u01/erpbat/aeaora/disco10/)
I tried to execute the dis51pr file under that directory, but with the same result...
Any ideas?
What is curious is that in the guide, the dis51pr file seems to be placed in ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/util directory... but ,it's not ther, it's in
ORACLE_HOME/bin.. I don't know if it's important...)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jose L

Hi again,
after solved that point... I thinked I'd finished the Discoverer installation (just neeed to create a script to set the appropiate ORACLE_HOME at startup)
I had run opmnctl startall and opmnctl stopall with success (to test that all was OK..), but when I exit.. and enter in session again... then it didn't work... :-(
I stopped all apps services and all discoverer services..
I started apps services with success.. but when I tried to execute opmnctl startall again.. it failed ... (don't know why now! )
Relevant information about that:
Error:
ias-component/process-type/process-set:
Discoverer/PreferenceServer/PreferenceServer
Error

failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit

HTTP_Server | HTTP_Server | 21657 | Alive
Discoverer | ServicesStatus | 21658 | Alive
Discoverer | PreferenceServer | N/A | Down
DSA | DSA | N/A | Down
So the error seems to be with PreferenceServer...
I've found a note in metalink with exactly the same error:
Subject: Discoverer Preferenceserver Process Does Not Start on 10g Install -
'failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit' Error
Doc ID: Note:312252.1
but in this note .. it says that the cause is the etc/hosts file...
I don't think so because that file wasn't be changed since June... (and... this worked in the last execution) so... I have no ideas for the moment...
Any idea?
(Another bit problem, I don't know if it's in relation is that... I can't access through 7777 port to discoverer from my PC. That's the port chosen by default installation to HTTP Server.. and I changed in httpd.conf and in Profile options..)
Thanks,
