Discoverer Plus Drill into Item - URGENT

Is the drill into item option available om Discoverer Plus? Because in Desktop Edition works fine, but in this web version, it's not present in the sheet menu nor double-clicking on any items.
Please, it's very urgent!
Thanks.
Mariano

Hello Rod
UPDATE:
- when the privileges are changed directly to the user, setting the scheduling to "User is never required to schedule workbooks" helped.
But it means I will have to monitor if a user has been added and setting him this directly. Do you see any option to avoid this (as I said in my post above, users and their private connections and role grants are done automatically).
Thank you for help!

Discoverer plus drill down looses workbook formatting

Hi,
I am having a strange issue with my discoverer workbook. I have created a report with drill down for example
here is the hierarchy i am trying: [http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/6787/hierarchy.png]
now on the net sales level I have grouped the region column by selecting "Group Sort" on that column and same on the customer column and net sales column. but the problem happens when i go down to the next level. for example the customer level at this point the grouping of the region goes away and the report looks ugly. so basically it has lines like:
Net Sales east region cust1
Net Sales east region cust2
Net Sales west region cust1
Net Sales west region cust2
instead of:
Net Sales east region cust1
cust1
west region cust1
cust2
hope that makes sense of my problem. so the group sort just goes away when i drill down. please help

Hi,
I tried your suggestion but that didn't work. i still loose formatting when i drill up and then drill back down.
I thought maybe these images will help better explain please have a look. I had to break it to make the images look more clear.

Totals not showing in Discoverer Plus - Urgent please

Hi there,Thanks to all for helping on questions and sharing thoughts.
I got a question from user in Discoverer plus, this is an urgent need.
Actually they built report in Plus in Production based on 2 folders with few conditions and all, everything working fine and getting data.
on one column in the report they need Total mean they used Sum but it is showing only lable not the value, like Sum:
Even we tried Cell Sum, no luck, also I tested format of data and changed to NUMBER datatype, SHOW NULLS AS to 0,
And also created calculation to avoid nulls like case statement if it is null then '0' otherwise that value and did Toal on Calculation column, still not working.
I've seen in Disco Admin Dev/QA, that there is joins between these folders and i regarding getting data is not an issue from user I guess.
Can anyone guide me or point me on this that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
skat

Thanks for your response on this,
I didnt get you, can you explain in brief.
See to avoid null values I created calculation and used case statement.
When I create total using SUM or Cellsum funstions it is not giving data it is giving only the label.
one more thing this is, actually I saved that report on myid and was trying to play and when I try to keep only that column it gave me the result if i add other columns from other folder again getting the same issue.
Any ideas or thoughts on this please.

How do I get this query into Discoverer Plus

Hi all,
I have the following query:
SELECT h.hrs, NVL(Quantity, 0) Quantity
FROM (SELECT TRIM(to_char(LEVEL - 1, '00')) hrs
FROM dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL < 25) h
LEFT JOIN (SELECT TO_CHAR(event_date, 'HH24') AS during_hour,
COUNT(*) Quantity
FROM user_activity u
WHERE event_date BETWEEN
to_date('15-JUN-2010 14:00:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') AND
to_date('16-JUN-2010 13:59:59', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
AND event = 'user.login'
GROUP BY TO_CHAR(event_date, 'HH24')) t
ON (h.hrs = t.during_hour)
ORDER BY h.hrs;
Which produces the number of actions performed (from an event table, user_activity) grouped by the hour of the day they occurred (including displaying hours that have zero records - this bit is important!). I want to be able to put this into Discoverer plus as a worksheet, but I'm having trouble trying to figure out how.
I was able to create a custom folder in Administrator for the select from DUAL, but I cannot link it to the user_activity table because there's no relationship between to two tables to create a join.
The user_activity table is:
USER_ID - VARCHAR2(8 CHAR)
EVENT_DATE - DATE
EVENT - VARCHAR2(100 CHAR)
The custom folder is this part of the SQL:
SELECT TRIM(to_char(LEVEL - 1, '00')) hrs FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL < 25
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

hi,
In the custom folder we can join tables,but the thing is you said ther is no join between them.
I would suggest you to built this query into a view and use this view in the DUAL table by writing inline query or subquery what ever way.
This is the only possibility i can think off.
Hope it helps you.
By,
KKHi,
Thanks for the reply, though I'm not sure that I understand what you are suggesting.
Which query would you turn into a view? If you are referring to the select from dual, then how would the view be any different from the custom folder? You still would not be able to join it to user_activity as there are no common columns.

Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications errors.

Starting Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications R12 errors.
Here is some general config information that is suspected to be the issue.
1. Running Oracle Applications R12 over HTTPS.
2. Running Discoverer Plus/Viewer over HTTP.
3. Calling menu item that calls a function to start Plus/Viewer.
Function Definition called by the menu item is listed blow.
Properties Tab: Type=SSWA jsp function Context Dependence=Responsibility
Form Tab: Parameters="mode=DISCO"
Web HTML Tab: HTML Call=OracleOasis.jsp
Fact: Starting Discoverer Plus using a URL works fine in the browser. The login page comes up and I can look in to Plus.
The page that dose a redirection to start the Plus applet or Viewer web page fails with this error in IE 7.
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Check that the ICX system profiles are set correctly for your Discoverer configuration. In particular the ICX: Discoverer Launcher and ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher system profiles.
When IE displays an error is the URL displayed in the browser a correct Disco URL?

Drill to Detail - Discoverer Plus Olap

Does anybody knows how can I do "Drill to Detail" in the OLAP Option?
I am using Discoverer Plus Olap to query a cube but I need to go to the relational data from a cell of this cube

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

RunningTotal in Discoverer Plus - Urgent Need

Hi there,
First of all wold like to say thanks for all.
I would need help on RunningTotal in Discovere Plus, for example
A
1
2
3
4
Calculated_Running_Total_Amt
1
3 (1+2)
6 (3+3)
10 (6+4)
I was wondering, I tried using RunningTotal function in Disco Plus while we calculate, but am not sure how it works, like it is asking order by row and someother stuff,.
can anyone guide me onthis exactly how it works or is there any other way to accomoplish it that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
skat

Hi,
You need to use analytic functions to calculate running totals. So, for example, the calculation SUM(A) OVER (PARTITION BY B ORDER BY C) will first group the rows in partitions using column B then sort the rows using column C, then calculate a running total by taking the sum column A from the start of the partition to the current row. The rows may then appear in any order in the report, unless you use a sort in the workbook definition.

Hi Aparna,
1. Do firewall settings or changes in server settings affect Discoverer Plus?
A. Yes
2. How does Discoverer Plus actually work? I mean what server settings one has to do for this application?
A. Discoverer is a web based reporting tool which is developed through Java programming. When ever u develop a report in discoverer by clicking folders, joins etc it will automatically writes a query and the same is store it in the discoverer objects.
When ever u execute a report in discoverer, the discoverer will just send only the query to the database, and from the database it fetch the data according to ur requirements.
Regarding server settings its all depends on the environment u are using.
If u are using oracle application 11.5.7 then u really don't need to struggle a lot for server settings because discoverer is a component of Oracle 9i Application server.
3.Can I get some online literature on Discoverer Plus?
A. Its is available in www.oracle.com
Regards
Swamy!

Disc5i.jar is downloaded going into discoverer plus between environments

Hello, I have two applications servers 10.1.2.0.2 with discoverer, one for production and other for test environment. Both are same versions, 10.1.2.48.18,
and use jinitiator 1.3.1.25 as java plugin and have jar cache enabled on jinitiator.
I go to discoverer plus on production and disc5i.jar is downloaded. I disconnect and connect to discoverer plus on test and disc5i.jar is downloaded again. On java console I see that previous disc5i.jar of other environment is deleted and disc5i.jar for environment I'm going is downloaded. Both disc5i.jar are the same. Why is downloaded again with a lot of spend time to final users with pour connections?
Any idea?
Thanks,
Fernando.

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

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

Log into Discoverer Plus, cancel through the Create Workbook page and then choose Tools/Options, EUL tab and ensure that you are connecting to the correct EUL.
Also, in Disco Admin, ensure you have granted the Disco Plus logon account access to the Business area.

Modify Browser Layout of Discoverer Plus

Hi,
Is there a way to change the browser layout of Discoverer Plus? I want to have an available list of workbooks area on the left hand side of the browser under available items and selected items.
Regards,
Gladys

Hey Gladys.
I have seen this 'challenge' so many times before and IMO, it's just plain wrong (sorry about the soapbox).
I can name companies (although would be shot if I did) from small to Fortune biggies where a 'user group' gets together to decide upon a query tool. Of course that group does not include any consulants who are experts in the field, any IT people who really know all the tools under consideration already, etc.
So, by some magic consisting of "we used it at my last company", to "it looks really good", to "well they gave me a cool t-shirt", they come up with about 3 tools to consider.
Then ... they invite all 3 companies in to perform a 'dog and pony' show. Of course, they have to load your machine with glowing examples in a schema just for them that shows how their tool can do absolutely everything in the world plus make a decent cappuccino (sp?). Oh ... and here are your free binculars?, pens?, tshirts?, stickers?, etc.
So, then this 'task group' comes up with - let's say for fun as this is an Oracle forum - Business Objects.
Without going into all the detail about costs such as BO groups coming in at lofty hourly rates (all the companies do this) and buying new slam-dunk-2007-unix-capuccino servers, you have BO.
But then ... and again not picking on BO, just an example ... does it do all you want? Does it interface completely with Oracle like the Oracle product did? What about upgrades ... do they write it for Oracle ... or all databases and therefore not cutting edge like Oracle is 'supposed' to be?
I learned long ago to:
1. Pick a toolset and stick with it (ie: Word vs WordPerfect). Just pick one and stay with it until Hell freezes over as they just keep leap frogging each other.
2. Oracle is not cheap (how do you think Larry can afford to build an Asian mansion or drive a fighter jet?)
3. Sticking with Oracle if at all possible for everything is the safest solution. Sure they may have a tool that pales in comparison at a particular time, but Larry just pulls out his wallet, throws a few billion into the pot, buys up the competition and years later you're Oracle anyway
4. try not to have 'user task groups' decide on major decisions like BI tools unless they're are computer technical people (ie: greater than 5 years in the business) AND they're not 'last company' whiners (ie: at my last company we used PeopleSoft and boy it was 149 times better than Oracle)
Okay, climbing off the soap box ... but that felt good.
To misquote Clinton ... I feel your 'challenge'.

Discoverer Plus -- Cannot Load Java Applet after JRE upgrade to 6

Hi,
After our users upgrade Java Runtime Environment to version 6 Update 1, Discoverer Plus stops working, the applet is opened but does not load.
Uninstalling the update solves the problem.
I disabled the automatic upgrade of Sun JRE on a few machines, but we have over 100 users.
Did anyone else face the same issue and is there any patch for the Discoverer installation?
Thanks,
Vlad

Hi George
You can get the 10.1.2.2 patch (4960210) on MetaLink. Be warned though that this not a small patch. It is 1.6 GB in size and is a full upgrade of the 10.1.2.0.2 application server.
I had some interesting problems when I first starting patching up to 10.1.2.2. First of all, if you are using a Windows server, you need to make sure that there are no lowercase characters used in your computer name. I know this sounds crazy but 10.1.2.2 will fail on Windows if you have this. If you've already got lowercase names in your machine you can't simply change the machine name to upper case because your existing application server will stop working as it embeds the machine name into dozens of configuration and setup locations. None of the Microsoft applications care what you call the machine as they don't embed like this but Oracle does. You'll probably end up having to reinstall the application server. However, the good news is that this only affects Windows and only when you have lowercase characters in your machine name.
Secondly, also on Windows, make sure there are no spaces anywhere within any of the folder names from where you will be installing the patch. This is another cause of failure. Thus, don't put the patch on your Desktop as there are spaces in Documents and Settings!
Thirdly, and this can happen on all platforms, if you are using an Infrastructure database and it is at 10.1.0.4 or less you will need to upgrade that database to 10.1.0.5 before you start any of the application server upgrades. If you don't do this your upgrade will fail. The release notes for the patch clearly state this but because they are very large I missed this the first time round and - oops - failed upgrade.
By the way, it seems Oracle have also released a patch (5758865) , available on MetaLink, with the fix for IE7. This is a one-off patch and requires a password which means you will have to raise a service request and tell Oracle you are having trouble drilling in Viewer when using IE7. This patch is applicable whether you are using relational or OLAP modeling. It can only be installed on top of 10.1.2.2.
Best wishes
Michael
