Discoverer Plus Formatting

Is anyone aware of a problem in Plus when trying to Format Data or Format Heading for a single line or header in a report, the formatting is applied to all the lines or headers. We are unable to apply a format to a specific line or group of lines/headers. We are running version 10.1.2.48.18 .
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...Jim

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.

i.e the export to HTML is retaining the format but it is putting the heading into multiple cells..there by making it look bad when opened in Excel.
Wheras in EXCEL export it doesnot retain formatting like Bold,etc it merges all the cells of teh first row and is putting it there which is much better to view.
Is there anything we can do about it ??
Thanks

Discoverer Plus Business Intelligence Print Format Problems

I am having a problem with setting the print settings to landscape. Under page setup before printing i set the Orientation to Landscape. The worksheet is printed in a landscape format, but the margins only go halfway across the page (under print preview the report fits on one page). It seems as if the program is taking the potrait orientation and just printing an image of the potrait printout in landscape. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks!

Hi
Discoverer Viewer is licensed the same as Discoverer Plus. If you have 1 Plus user and 20 Viewer users you need to be licensed for 21 users.
You can either buy named users or you can buy an unlimited license. The cutover point is 25 users becauses the last time I looked I believe the per user price was $800 and the perpetual was $20,000 per CPU.
The minimum purchase for named users is 5 so are you absolutely certain that 1 license you have isn't a perpetual license or even perhaps a Discoverer Admin license?
You should discuss this with your Oracle sales rep who may well be able to get you a better price.
Best wishes

Formating URL for Discoverer plus returns an error

Hello I have been playing around with formatting the URL. In Viewer this is working great with have created one click extracts to excel. However when I try to just create a link to discoverer plus to startup the connections page also pops up. We would like just the discoverer plus app to popup not the connections page. This is with 9.0.4 version. I have tried adding the following
plus_popup=Fales&framedisplaystyle=embedded
option on the end but when I do although the connections page no longer shows up I get an error on startup. The error states there is a runtime error has occured. Line 0 Error:'Window.opener.connListPage' is null or not an object' The msgbox asked if I want to debug or not. If I choose no then plus opens fine. My string looks like below. Does anyone know what I am missing?
http://domainname:7778/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_a110&nlsl=en-us&release=true&_plus=true&plusp_FrameDisplayStyle=embedded

I doesn't happen on mine, but I'm now on SP3. It might help if you upgrade - even if you don't want to go to SP3 yet, your OWA version appears not to be at rollup 2 level. I only mention this because if it is a problem specific to version 14.2.247.5 (which
could easily be the case, because MS change the OWA scripts with surprising frequency) , it's going to be hard finding people who can reproduce the problem.
But to answer the question in the last sentence, searching the GAL and searching Contacts is, in a technical sense, very different. The GAL search is done with an LDAP query against Active Directory, whereas Contacts are usually going to be mailbox items,
plus a few AD contact items.

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.

Can't Display large total in Discoverer Plus

I am trying to display a large total (billions) in Discoverer Plus, however instead of displaying the actual number it displays "#######################". The number I am trying to display is 1,234,567,890. Other totals display fine, however they are only in the millions, not billions.
I am in Discoverer Plus so I can't change the cell/column size. I have also tried changing the font size to a much smaller size.
Any suggestions?
Currently Displays
Col_A

Thanks for the info John.
I'm using Discoverer Plus and don't have Discoverer Desktop, although our admin does. If he makes the change on Desktop will the change be reflected on Discoverer Plus as well?
I have tried a few different formatting changes in Discoverer Plus however my Discoverer Plus is down right now and can't get in to see if the change you recommended is available in Plus.
Again, thanks for the help...it is much appreciated.

Auto login and report launch for Web Discoverer Plus?

What url format can I use to auto connect and launch a report in
the web version of Discoverer Plus?
I've been able to do this fine with Viewer and client/server
Plus...
Each time I try something it brings me back to the "start_ie.htm"

I found the answer to my own question:
To login in "applicatino mode" you must login like this:
<app_user_name>:responsibility
OR
<app_user_name>:
Then you'll be prompted to choose a pre-assigned responsibilty.

Export workbooks in discoverer plus

hi
I am not able to export discoverer workbook as .dis from discoverer plus.
how to do this
Should I follow only command prompt?
From discoverer admin i am able to export a workbook as .eex ..But i wonder how to import this workbook.eex into discverer desktop ?
thanks
kp

Hi,
.dis format is specific to Discoverer Desktop . This saves the workbook on the windows pc where Discoverer Desktop is running. Discoverer Plus does not have the option to save workbook on local system.
.eex format is specific to Discoverer Admin and it contains metadata info including BAs,Workbook etc.
In order to import .eex files you have to use Discoverer Admin . It can not be imported using Discoverer Desktop.
Thanks,
Sutirtha

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.

Discoverer Plus OLAP

Hi all,
We are looking at possibly using Oracle Discoverer Plus OLAP. Our database is Oracle Database Server 10g Enterprise Edition (with OLAP option).
Is Discoverer Plus OLAP part of this? Or is it a separate product? Or can I -only- get it by purchasing Oracle BI EE (which is expensive and more than we need)?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Ed

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

Discoverer Plus not wrapping column headers on print

OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.3)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)
I'm having issues with a new workbok I created and can't quite figure out how to fix it. I have columns with the Format Heading\Wrap words in cell set on. The columns wrap fine and display as expected in the Discoverer Plus workbook window, but they don't wrap on printing to pdf or a physical printer. They display in the upper left of the column and run to the right until they get cut-off by the next column on the right.
For instance:
Preprocessing
Lead Time
shows as
Preprocessing Lea|<next column>
-Tracy

Well, I hate to say it, but you may have run across a bug in your version of Discoverer Plus. I am on 10.1.2.54.25 and the word wrap works just fine when printing a worksheet out of Discoverer Plus in that version. I even retested it just now just to verify, and it printed just fine, and the way you would want it to print. So my suggestion is that you log a service request for this issue with support and see what they say. Good luck.

Logo To be Displayed on Discoverer plus (Web Server Access)

HI All,
I Am Developing a report in which ,i have to insert a logo(.bmp) into the report title and i did that by entering "FORMAT TITLE" menu and iserted a .bmp file.
But the problem is this ,the logo thus inserted is not visible on Discoverer Plus (Web Based Access).
Please help me out to resolve the same.

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that DEVICES tab disappears from Remote Web Access website after RemoteApp
configured. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
à
But now I cannot figure out how to get to my server's Dashboard, because when I go to my main web acess site (that ends with "/Remote"), the server is not listed
under devices.
Did all users encounter the same issue when access RWA? Please open Dashboard and navigate to USERS tab, then
click the problematic user account and select View the account properties. In Properties of this user account, please navigate to Anywhere Access, then please check if Computer option was checked in
Show selected links on Remote Web Access. Meanwhile, please also use an administrator user account to check if this issue still exists.
In addition, please follow the path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs\WebApps folder and check
RemoteAccess log file if find more clues.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

I want to send emails using Discovere Plus.

Hi,
I want to send email using discoverer plus. I know i can send using discoverer viewer but i do not want to use the discoverer view for the same.
Can any one tell me how to send a report in excel format via email in discoverer plus.
We have the send option under File menu in discoverer desktop but not in discoverer plus.
Thanks in advance
Ahmed

That would have to be a product enhancement. With our upcoming integration with BI Publisher and with Delivers (part of the BI Suite Enterprise Edition) we believe this requirement should be met. Please look out for more announcements and details on these functionalities.
