Discoverer Plus 10g Title & Table Viewing Size

Is there a way to increase the screen resolution of the title and table area in Discoverer Plus 10g? The font size says 10pt, but on the screen it looks more like 4pt. I couldn't find any settings in Plus to change it. Thanks, Amy.

Cause
By default in Discoverer Plus 10.1.2 fonts are rendered smaller in Java
than in other Windows applications.
Already saved workbooks will not have any change in font and formats even if
your default fonts are changed unless these workbooks are explicitly opened and
modified for using new fonts. The cause for this behavior is that when
workbooks are saved, font information is also along with it. This is very lengthy approach if you have over 1,000 upgraded workbooks.
Solution
To implement the solution, for existing/upgraded workbooks please execute the following steps:
Set AdjustPlusFontSize = "True" in pref.txt file.
This setting will make Discoverer Plus to display the font size correctly. It specifies whether Discoverer Plus Relational adjusts the font size to correct a discrepancy in the Java virtual machine, resulting in a smaller font size than other Windows applications.
true = adjust font sizes
false = do not adjust font sizes
1.Navigate to <Discoverer Home>/discoverer/util directory.
2.Edit pref.txt file and modify the setting as
AdjustPlusFontSize = "true"
under [Application] section
3.Run the script applypreferences.sh

Joining tables in Oracle BI Discoverer Plus 10g

My company just implemented Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g and I'm a little confused. It looks like this new version of Discoverer was created with the idea of "simplifying" things for the end user. But it seems to be lacking crucial features that our power users need. Like writing their own SQL statements.
Does anyone have any suggestions? What version of Discoverer should our advanced user's use? Can you suggest another tool? We could always give them SQL Developer, but this seems like overkill. It seems like Oracle has ignored a certain market segment. That is the power user segment. There are many users who can write SQL but do not work in IT. SQL Developer is too much but Discoverer is not enough.

Hi
These days, Oracle is much more accepting of carrying on and even improving legacy products, so long as there’s customers willing to pay support fees.
You just have to see what happened to JD Edwards. When Peoplesoft purchased this several years ago they hardly made any improvements to it and it was being run into the ground. When Oracle purchased Peoplesoft they acquired JD Edwards too but rather than letting the slide continue they have actually have been actively improving it. So much so, that they have issued a major upgrade, thus prolonging the life of JD Edwards for years to come. Oracle could easily have let it slip into obscurity and told the JD Edwards' customers that they needed to convert to E-Business Suite, but they didn't. This is despite the fact that JD Edwards runs on one of their prime competitor's platforms, the IBM AS400!
So you see, Oracle are not going to cut off their nose to spite their face. I think Oracle has being very professional with regards to the products that it has acquired. They don't seem to be acquiring them with the intention of dropping them. They seem to be genuinely interested in market share and keeping customers happy. At least that's the way recent acquisitions have played out - like Siebel Analytics - aka OBI Enterprise Edition.

Discoverer Plus : Printing title issue

Hi,
Page title doesn't print all the time. Sometimes it's printed and sometimes it's not without changing anything in the report!
Do you know why?
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.2)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.54.25)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.54.25
Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.54.25
Couche EUL - 5.1.1.0.0.0

Are you talking about printing out of Discoverer Plus? I am thinking you are, because you did not mention Discoverer Viewer nor Discoverer Desktop versions. I have noticed the same thing happening myself. Have not bothered to report this to support, since most of the time the workbooks will be executed in Discoverer Viewer, where the printing seems to be okay. You may want to check your print setup to make sure you have specified to print the heading, and if you want on every page or just on the first page, just in case you have not considered this possibility. Hope this helps a bit.

Menu "Export" in Oracle Discoverer Plus 10g

Hi..
Is there anyone knows how to hide "Export" menu in OracleBI Discoverer Plus 10g ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Handoko

I have a T420 Lenovo with dual video card configuration is causing the Discoverer Plus 10g views to not refresh correctly.
I was able to find a solution to this issue. It requires the following changes in the system BIOS.
• In BIOS under Config -> Display ->Change the Graphics Devices to Discrete
• In BIOS under Config -> Display ->OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus -> Changed to Disabled
Now system will only use the Nvidia Card versus the dual card configuration (Nvidia + Intel HD Graphics)
Discoverer Plus works correctly.
Hope this helps.

Emailing from discoverer plus 10g

Hi,
Please help on the ff question posed to me from our client who just had Discoverer Plus 10g implemented at their sites.
1. The old vs 3.1 desktop had the ability to send a report in an e-mail attachment to many recipients as a .dis file. This feature is no longer available. Is there plans to include this in future releases?
2. The old 3.1 vs was also able to save and open reports from the file system. This is no longer available on plus 10g. Is there plans to also include this feature in newer releases of plus.
pls advise.
thanks
saliha

Hi Saliha
The new 10g Desktop still has the email feature, as does the 10g Viewer tool. I doubt very much that Oracle will add emailing to Plus because Viewer is where the users are supposed to run their reports. Plus is a developer tool so I think you will be out of luck. Many folks that I go to initially say they don't like Viewer but that is because they have no idea what it can do. After I have given training every company so far tell me they will be using Viewer for end users (viewers), with Plus being reserved only for the report writers.
As for saving to the file system from Plus, as you say this does not exist. Oracle do have this under consideration. I thought it was scheduled for the next release but I don't think it made it. We'll just have to wait and see. Like you, I would like to see it.
Sorry about this, please don't shoot the messenger :-)
Best wishes

Strange Problems with Discoverer Plus 10g

Hello All -
I'm working an exercise to bring an application online which uses Discoverer Plus 10g as its client. This application is located in an area that I don't have access to, so the symptoms I'll describe have been reported to me by users.
1) When users log into Discoverer Plus and it launches, it does so with the iconic menu buttons (located below the pull-down menus) disabled and grayed-out. The users are forced to do all operations using the pull-down menus. This is a problem that is consistent across different PCs.
2) When users do File....Save As.... the "Save Workbook to Database" window opens and the user is unable to modify the filename in the "New name" text field. If the user toggles the "View:" setting at the top of the window, they can then change the filename. This problem has only been reported by 2 users, but it's happening for them consistently.
3) When a user creates a new report using File....New... the Workbook Wizard opens and all is normal until the "Workbook Wizard - Step 2 of 5: Select Items" page appears. On the items tab, the user activates the pull-down list to select the business area they want to use, and the business area name disappears when the users mouses-over it. So the user must click on the blank business area name to continue. This is a problem that is consistent across different PCs.
A number of the users' PCs have two Java versions installed on them like this:
Platform     Product
1.4     1.5.0_14
1.5     1.4.2_16
I had them make sure that 1.5.0_14 is the only one enabled, but that did not remedy any of the above problems.
At this point I don't know what to try next.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Patrick

Try the 1.4.2_06 java version
I suggest you remove other java version and stay with just one.
I do not remember but from some point the java version will use the higher there is and java 1.5 from my experience
is not working with the discoverer so well.

Is it possible to change dynamicaly VC table view size (width/heigth)?

Hi gurus!
So the question is: Is it possible to change dynamicaly Visual Composer table view size?
Particularly I'm interested in changing table-view height; the objective is not to use table-view paging option, instead to show all returned data rows at once.
Thanks in advance!
--- Kaspars

Hi Kaspars,
I would say there is atm no possibility to change the table view size dynamicly, because you can't input a formula into the size field so the size is fixed as you enter it.

Marcel

User not able to login to Discoverer Plus 10g with Java 1.8 and Java1.6

Hi,
The user is using Windows machine and trying to login to Discoverer Plus 10g. He recently upgraded to Java 1.8 and was not able to login.
We informed the user that Discoverer 10g is not compatible with java version above 1.6. The user removed the java 1.8 and installed 1.6 again.
Still he is facing issue.
The error he gets is:
Unable to connect to the Discoverer Server: null
Please contact your Oracle Application Server administrator
Please suggest.
1. Is there also a way to make it work with java 1,8 version as the user need to use it for the Oracle HRMS.?
Thanks

Export issue in discoverer plus (10G)

I'm unable to export the report result into either excel or text file from discoverer plus.
Error message is "Operation Failed".
Please help me in resolving this in discoverer 10G.

Hi, I happened to come across Murali's thread here while searching for something else.
If anyone is interested, the resolution was MetaLink Note 401600.1 (Exporting To Xls/Cvs/Txt Formats With Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) Plus or Viewer Fails With 'Error Operation Failed').
It involved deleting dc* files from the temporary directory we have identified for exporting temporary files. The temporary directory was full.
Once the dc* files were deleted, it resolved the export to XLS from Discoverer Plus issue for us this time.

JDeveloper 10g and Table Viewer

For JDeveloper 10g, after creating a connection under the database node, right-clicking on a synonym or table does not provide a Table Viewer option in the popup menu. Additionally, double-clicking the synonym or table does not open the table viewer, "No Structure" is displayed in the structure window. However, when creating the same connection in JDeveloper 9i I am able to view the table structure... so the problem doesn't appear to be database rights. Is there some configuration setting in JDeveloper 10g that I have overlooked?

What version of the database are you using?
In JDeveloper 10g, you won't see "Table Viewer" on the context menu (you should just see "Open" instead). However, you should definitely be able to see the structure when the table is selected, and you should see the table viewer when double-clicking on the table.
Also, can you check in the console window (run jdev.exe to see the console window) to see if there are any exceptions being thrown?

Connection to Discoverer Plus (10g) lost when exporting workbook to Excel

I have a user who was exporting a workbook to Excel and it showed that the export failed. When she closed that box, she got a message that her Connection to Discoverer was lost.
Anyone experienced this one? Any ideas why this is happening?
Cindy

Hi Kevin
It will do this if you change the parameters away from the default and you have told Discoverer to remember parameter settings. This is controlled by an entry called SaveLastUsedParamValue in pref.txt on the server.
If this is the cause then its not a bug. All Discoverer thinks is that you have changed something. Even switching an item in Page Items could trigger this.
If you have users who only need to View reports why not use Viewer? You can turn off saving altogether there if you so wish.
Best wishes

Discoverer Plus 10g

I wander to add an numeric field (e.g. Buying price) from the database to the worksheet. But I found that the field only entitled for Count, Max, Min only. Same data type for another field (e.g. Selling Price), it have Sum, Count, Max, Min, AVG & Details also. Thank you.

Discoverer Plus Title frame height is too small

The Discoverer Plus default title frame height is too small to display more than a couple of lines of the report titles without scrolling. Discoverer Viewer displays the entire title area. Is there any way to increase the default height of the title frame in Plus?
Thanks, Jim

There is a default hieght that the title frame occupies in Discoverer Plus. If I remember, the title frame by default will not use more than 15% of the available vertical space in the Plus window - again, not sure if this includes the browser chrome or not. You can drag and increase the size of this title frame such that it occupies more of the available screen real estate.
In Viewer, since the title is rendered as HTML - it will simply expand to show its entire contents.
thanks

Views not available in Discoverer Plus

Hi Gurus,
I have created some views using Oracle 10 g Disco Admin v 9.0.4 and I am able to access them from Disco Desktop v 9.0.4
However, when I log in to Discoverer Plus, those views are not available. I am logging with the same user id that I am using for desktop. Some of the users who are on the previous version of Disco Desktop are facing the same problem. First I thought it might be a version mismatch issue, but now it is happening with Disco Plus too.
Here is the Disco Plus version details:
Oracle Application Server Discoverer 10g (9.0.4.00.00)
Oracle Application Server Discoverer Plus 10g (9.0.4.45.02)
Discoverer Model - 9.0.4.45.02
Discoverer Server - 9.0.4.45.02
End User Layer - 5.0.2.0.0.0
End User Layer Library - 9.0.4.45.02

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jagan,
Thanks for your reply and I have just transported the Role after the views have been assigned to it.
I'll update you once the Role is moved to Quality.

Editing scroll view frame size in IB causes table view to change

I suppose this is a continuation of the problems I was having with the table view resizing: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2618816&tstart=0.
I have a controller which needs to have a scroll view with numerous elements attached to it, including a table view.
I have performed the following steps:
- Set the simulated interface elements of the owning view to a nav bar.
- Added a scroll view to the main view in the nib file.
- Set the file owner view controller subclass' view to the scroll view.
- Set the contentSize of the scroll view to the desired size in viewDidLoad.
The problem is that the table view size/position are incorrect when I load the view in the iPhone simulator if I change the scroll view's frame size from 320x460. Basically, every time the scroll view frame size is changed, it causes the scroll view position and size to change.
However, there are times I want to make the scroll view's frame size bigger in order to edit items that might be offscreen when the application is first loaded, which becomes awkward if the size of the view in IB or in code without causing the table view size/position to change. I keep having to change the size of the scroll view frame, edit the items, change it back to 320x460, and then fix the table view.
Is there a way around this, such as a way to locking the size of a table?

Hi Kaspars,
I would say there is atm no possibility to change the table view size dynamicly, because you can't input a formula into the size field so the size is fixed as you enter it.
Best Regards,
Marcel
