Discoverer Plus on Portal

All of the documentation that I have read shows Discoverer viewer version on the Portal. Has anyone used the Discoverer Plus version on the Portal?
Thank you.

Russ,
I got a resolution from Oracle on this issue. It's a bug :
Bug 5143457, DATA AND HEADING ARE MISALIGNED
Component: USER_JAV Comp Ver: 10.1.2.0.0
Bug only reproduces in Sun JRE.
Does not reproduce in Jinitiator 1.3.1.22
Development closed with workaround to use Jinitiator instead.
So, using Jinit is the answer. Offcourse then you are stuck with some unappealing look and feel options. I particularly liked the Plastic look which is not available when using Jinit. Oh well!

  • Discoverer PLUS integration in Portal

    Hi,
    I know that Discoverer viewer can be integrated within Portal fairly easily. But, i wanted to know how to integrate Discoverer Plus (witch offers more options) within Portal. Did anyone attempt that successfully? And how?
    Best regards

    we have tried integrating 1 sample application in portal by creating a BSP iview and it took some features of portal theme.\
    I hope if we could change the whole portal theme through theme editor, all the CRM applications will take portal theme.
    we will just integrate the first page of webclient with the portal through BSP iview. is this approach correct or I am missing something.
    regards,

  • How to pass parameter to a Discoverer Plus OLAP Worksheet??

    Hi,
    I have used discoverer plus OLAP and portal to develop executive dashboards in my company. I put my date dimension in Page Item of discoverer plus OLAP worksheet to view a specific week/month/year of analysis i.e. Jul-07.
    Now I have to open all the worksheets and change the page item value when week/month ends. If it was 'Jul-07' then I have to change it as 'Aug-07'.
    In discoverer plus OLAP we can't pass parameters as we can in discoverer relational.
    Can someone help me how I can set the new values without opening discoverer worksheets?
    Regards,
    Shahid

    Dear Shahid,
    I downloaded the Oracle Application Server SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0. While installing It gave me two options
    1. Basic Install
    Install J2EE server and SOA suite of applications including BPEL, ESB
    and OWSM.
    2. Advance Install (This gives 4 options)
    a. J2EE Server, Web Server and SOA suite
    b. J2EE Server and Web Server
    c. J2EE Server
    d. Web Server\
    According to your instructions I need to install it as Insfrastructure, BI and portal. Now can you tell me which option of the install I should select in order to meet the requirements of Infrastructure, BI and Portal.
    Because I am very new in this technology so If you can guide to me to get started at least then I can follow the Oracle Tutorial for further training.
    Thanks very much in this regards.

  • Discoverer viewer in portal or Drill to detail in Disco report in Portal

    Hi
    Is it possible to embed discoverer viewer into Portal page. I know one way, I can achieve this in older versions by using <IFRAME src="worksheet url"></iframe> as HTML portlet. But, the problem here is that, our Discoverer viewer is SSO protected. So,I don't want user to single sign on again, as they have already have done that when they got into portal.
    My second question is , I have developed Page-Detail report in Disco plus, also I have Drill to Detail in the same report. Drill to Detail is created using "Manage Link" option. When I deploy this report into Portal using Disco Portlet provider, firstly in portal it is not showing the Page Item, also the Drill through link also is not showing.
    Any help on the above questions would be greatly helpful.
    Thanks
    Balaji

    Hi
    Firstly thank you very much for your response.
    The Disco report I have is a Discoverer Plus report with Drill to Detail to another workbook(developed through manage link). But this Drillable link is not showing in the published Disco portlet. Are you saying that it should in the published disco portlet? .. As posted in previous response , I know this would work from Analyze link(which basically lauches viewer)..
    But users would like to see this drillable link in the report in portal page itself(which means on the published portlet itself). To achieve this only, I used Iframes in Html portlet and showing the Discoverer viewer url. It works fine, but only thing is each time user naviges to portal page, it executes the report which takes some time. I am trying to avoid the execution process. I think one solution is I can just schdule these Disco reports and that way it will not query the database each time. I was wondering if there is any other solution maybe I am missing
    Thanks

  • Launching discoverer reports from portal, limitation..

    Hi, I have already discussed this matter via a metalink SR to find that portal cannot launch a discoverer report using discoverer plus, but I have also been referred here by the metalink people so 'product management' can clarify whether the functionality we are seeking is never going to be implemented or if it may be in planning for the near future.
    Specifically, the users want to be able to launch the discoverer reports in discoverer plus, through a portal application accessed on their browsers. (instead of discoverer viewer).
    Thanks

    Actually there is, we just had to work the metalink guys a bit harder. We found this in the Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Configuration
    Guide.pdf (as found at http://download.oracle.com/docs/pdf/B13918_03.pdf)
    Page 212 of 304:
    13.5.3 Example 3: Starting Discoverer Plus
    To start Discoverer Plus, connect automatically as jchan to the Sales EUL, open
    a worksheet called January Analysis in a workbook called Monthly nalysis, you
    might use the following URL:
    http://<host.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_a156&opendbid=MONTHLY_
    ANALYSIS&sheetid=179
    So as the documentation claimed it to be a feature, we saught further help as the link structure above didn't quite work for us.
    It was assigned to development and a patch was released: Patch# 5403717
    Info:
    Use a new URL parameter 'workbooksource' after the patch has
    been applied.

    Hope that helps..

  • Problems Installing Discoverer Plus

    I am trying to setup Discoverer Plus, but I am having all kinds of problems. I'm looking for the right forum to help with my problems. Here is what I am doing:
    1. Installed an Oracle 11.2.0 database. This is OK.
    2. Installed WebLogic 10.3.5.0 - Was able to connect to the Admin Server on Port 7001
    3. Tried installed Application Server, the Discoverer portion. For some reason it wouldn't create the user accounts.
    4. Removed all AS homes and created a Discoverer Account using RCU. It would not create the Portal account.
    5. Now when I try to install AS it can't write to the ~rcu directories because of permissions.
    I have uninstalled Weblogic, removing the Middleware home , and cleaning up accounts in the database.
    I will then install WebLogic again. But I am not sure how to proceed afterwards.
    Thanks and if this is the wrong forum, please point to the correct one.

  • Discoverer Plus and the SSO GUIT (Global User Inactivity Timeout)

    Does Discoverer Plus obey the Global User Inactivity Timeout?
    We've enabled SSO for Discoverer Plus and Viewer (v. 9.0.4.45.02), and we've
    configured the Global User Inactivity Timeout. For testing, we set GUIT to 5 minutes.
    When we re-activate a Viewer session after more than 5 minutes of no activity,
    we're prompted for our SSO username/password, as expected.
    If we leave a Plus session inactive for more than 5 minutes, we are not prompted for our SSO username/password.
    If we leave a Plus session inactive for 30 minutes, a pop-up appears warning us
    that Plus will exit if we don't take some action. This pop-up is driven by the fact that we set Timeout to 30 minutes in the pref.txt file. Plus behaved this way before we enabled it for SSO.
    We thought that Plus and Viewer are both governed by GUIT in the SSO environment. Are we wrong about that?

    Yes, i am having the same problem with the Timeout. No matter what i have the timeout set to, the portal never redirects to the login, the users stay logged in indefinitely. We are running 10gAS (10.1.2). I have a feeling it has something to do with the cookie not being properly set. If ANYONE has any experience with this please reply. thanks so much

  • Where can I download Discoverer10g including Discoverer Plus?

    Hi all,
    I downloaded Developer suite 10g, then installed Discoverer10g. But all I got is Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Administrator. I want to know how to get Discoverer Plus.
    Thanks for helping me.

    Hi
    You cannot choose to only install Plus or Viewer, they are just components of Oracle Business Intelligence. When you look at the downloads page you can choose either the stand-alone version which has only Discoverer or you can download the full-blown application server which has an infrastructure and portal as well.
    If you only want Discoverer you should download the stand-alone version which on the OTN download page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html
    is simply called Business Intelligence.
    Does this help?

  • Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

    As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
    Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
    Regards,
    Brajesh

    Pretty hard to answer a question like this.  Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out. 

  • Export to EXCEL 4m Discoverer Plus/Viewer doesnt retain Header Formatting ?

    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

  • How to open a defult workbook from Discoverer Plus

    Hi all,
    Is it possible in Discoverer Plus for a user to open a pre defined worksheet in a workbook when he logs in without having to select the workbook and then select the worksheet?
    Please advise how to achive this.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you all.
    Yjk

    Hi Yjk
    This is possible but you will have to alter the URL call to do it and add the workbook name to the end of the URL.
    You can use either the names of workbooks and worksheet or unique IDs of workbooks and worksheets. Using unique IDs is easier and helps avoid encoding problems with long names. Unique IDs are language independent. The following are the URL parameters to use while working with workbooks and worksheets.
    Discoverer Plus Relational:
    Workbooks:
    opendbid=<workbook ID>
    opendbname=<workbook name>
    Worksheets:
    sheetid=<worksheet ID>
    sheet=<worksheet name>
    Discoverer Viewer:
    Workbook:
    wbk=<workbook ID>
    wb=<workbook name>
    Worksheet:
    wsk=<worksheet ID>
    ws=<worksheet name>
    Discoverer OLAP:
    Workbooks:
    workbookname=<workbookname>
    Worksheets:
    sheet=<worksheet name>
    Note: Discoverer Plus OLAP uses only workbook and worksheet names.
    Examples below:
    How to Find the Unique IDs of Workbooks and Worksheets
    To find the unique ID of a workbook, use thie workflow:
    1. Launch the Open Workbook from Database wizard
    2. Right-click the workbook name
    3. Select Properties.
    The value of the Identifier field indicates the unique ID of the workbook.
    Alternatively, when the workbook is open, select File | Workbook Properties.
    To find the unique ID of a worksheet, use this workflow:
    1. With the worksheet open, select Edit | Worksheet Properties
    2. The Worksheet Properties dialog box opens.
    3. Click the General tab.
    The value of the Identifier field indicates the unique ID of the worksheet.
    The following URL starts Discoverer Viewer and opens a worksheet with the unique ID "156", which is present in the workbook whose unique ID is "MONTHLY_SALES". The connection ID used is "cf_a101".
    http://<machine.domain>:<port>/discoverer/viewer?cn=cf_a101&wbk=MONTHLY_SALES&wsk=156
    If the connection that is used here is a private connection, the user will be prompted for the password.
    In Plus, the same command is:
    http://<machine.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_a101&opendbname=MONTHLY_SALES&sheet=156
    Does this help?

  • Discoverer Plus for OLAP

    Hi....
    Our company had installed Oracle Application Server 10g and using Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18) and also creating the EUL as the data storage/mapping for our workbooks/reports.
    Our company has a plan to use Discoverer Plus for OLAP and already installed the discoverer catalog.
    How to create a connection using option "Connect To" OracleBI Discoverer for OLAP ?
    What is the diffrence between Discoverer Catalog and Analytic Workspace?
    What tools that we must use to create data for OLAP (to create some dimensions, measures etc)?
    Any Help will be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Handoko

    Hi Handoko,
    You can establish a connection from Discoverer Plus for OLAP, by specifying the database connect information in the form of HOST:PORT:SID (e.g MyServer.com:1521:orcl10g).
    The Discoverer OLAP catalog is used to store end-user reports and is installed and maintained using Application Server Control console. It allows you to install the catalog and authorize users to store reports in the catalog. The Analytic Workspace Manager is used to define your multi-dimensional model and load the data from source tables.
    Mark Rittman provides some indepth documentation, have a look at the link below :
    http://www.rittman.net/2004/11/29/understanding-the-role-of-the-olap-catalog/

  • Discoverer Plus associate with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure

    Hi Everyone,
    I just install the Oracle BI (v 10.1.2.0.2) into my 2003 server so I could use the Discoverer Plus and Viewer. This is a stand alone BI installation (I guess, I have little knowledge about Discoverer plus or Oracle AS).
    My question is how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report.
    and where to find the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure (or How do I know I have the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure?)
    I read the Oracle BI Discoverer Configuration Guide, and it tell me to associate the Oracle BI with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure to deploy the Discoverer. so I went to the BI Application Server Control page, the Infrastructure section, the Identity Management to configure the Internet Directory, so I could I have the public connection, but it didn't work.
    Also do I real need the Oracle AS Infrastructure to make the Discoverer Plus work?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Kevin,
    Oracle AS Infrastructure is needed only if you are implementing SSO for Discoverer or using Public connection .
    Else only Oracle AS Middle tier is sufficient to work with Discoverer Plus .
    Regarding "how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report"
    You need to create the End User Layer (EUL) and then grant privilege to the EUL to users who will be creating the report .
    Thanks,

  • Discoverer PLUS EUL not accessible

    Hi guys & girls,
    This is my issue:
    With Discoverer Admin I've created an EUL and a Business Area and I granted the right privilges to a user XXX. When I launch Discoverer Desktop, I connect as user XXX and I can see that I have access to that Business Area. When I launch Discoverer Plus, I create a connection but I do not see the EUL that I've created, so I can not choose it for the connection.
    Anyone an idea?
    Christophe

    I found the problem...
    On my laptop, I have a Discoverer Admin. 10g installation, connected upon a 9i db and created my EUL. Created a Business Area and gave the correct privs/security to my user xxx. When a started Disco Plus and created a private connection, I did not see my EUL appearing in the list of values. Solution: I used a discoverer Admin 9i version, connected upon the 9i db, created the EUL, created a Business Area and gave the correct privs/security to user xxx. Then I reconnected via my Discoverer Admin 10g to that EUL, did the upgrade (forced to do it) and then everything worked out fine. So the trouble is/was, that I was working with two different versions of Discoverer..
    Thanx anyway Rod
