Pie Chart Legend - colors and sorting value

Hi,I have a pie chart with around 20 'segments' representing names of people - so it looks like several of them have the same color.So my first question is do the standard 12 colors repeat after 12 segments have been 'defined' - can this be extended with custom colors?. I know you can set colors for specific values but as the list is dynamic, I can't do that. I also have a legend defined which shows the person's name and then the value - either a percentage or a count etc. From top to bottom, the legend lists the entries alphabetically by the person's name - however, it's not always easy to tell which name is associated with which 'segment' and using labels is not an option as they are too long and there are too many of them to be readable So what I would like to do is have the legend displayed in numerical size order - e.g. person with largest % is at the top, smallest % is at the bottom etc.I've been looking at the Chart Expert, CR Help and the forums but have not seen an answer to either question - I'm hoping someone can tell me if it's possible or not (and if so, how do I do it!).Thanks 

Hi,
If you go to the Chart Expert, on the data tab, you can choose the Top N option.Â From within there you can get your legend sorted based on the highest or lowest percentage.Â You can also group information so that you only see the top 5 or lowest 10 or whatever you want.
Also when I create a pie graph based on 20 plus pieces of data it isn't resusing the colors, but they are somewhat similar. I usually do a group of the top 10 or so, then have an others category for situations like this.Â

Strange "pie chart" symbol appearing - Mail must be force quitted

Just yesterday randomly half way through the day, a strange 'pie chart' symbol appeared next to my Inbox, and though I can receive mail and send mail, Mail.app (after 1 min of being open) makes my CPU skyrocket to 100%. I cannot quit Mail, and the only way I can force quit is via Activity Monitor. The usual altcommandesc combo is not bringing up Force Quit. So 2 issues:
1. What's up with Mail? I'm using POP via Gmail as my main server.
2. How do you get force quit to show up?

/Ditto
Sometimes my mail will send, but the process will take anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes to do so. More often than not, though, it just disappears into a black hole. Plus, this just started happening two days ago. All was well before then.

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.

Reporting Services in 2005 Secondary Pie Chart?

Hi,
In 2008 and 20012, secondary pie charts with a percentage threshold from a main pie chart can be easily created. Is it possible to do in 2005?
*CustomAttributes
Thanks.

Hi Robb,
It seems that you are using Dundas Chart Control for SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services not the Dundas Chart Control 2005 that Microsoft has purchased.
Microsoft purchased the license to use Dundas Chart Control 2005 in Reporting Services 2008 and above. Therefore the supported upgrade is from Reporting Services 2005 Dundas Charts to SSRS 2008 (R2) and SSRS 2012 Charts.
If you are using a particular component released by Dundas for SSRS 2008 R2, you won’t be able to upgrade Reporting Services 2008 R2 Reports with Dundas Charts to Reporting Services 2012 Charts.
To confirm this, please check the details of this assembly “DundasRSChart.dll” located under the /Report Server/bin directory.
If the Product Name is “Dundas Chart for Reporting Services 2008 R2”, it indicates that this is a new version of Dundas Chart for SSRS 2008 R2 (i.e. a third party control). If the Product Name is “Microsoft SQL Server”, it indicates that this is the version
that Microsoft has purchased.
In this condition, you have to migrate the DundasRSChart.dll to the SSRS 2012 instance and reference it as the custom assembly in the reports. Please make sure to rename the DLL file so that it won’t replace the native DundasRSChart.dll installed by SQL
Server 2012.
For more information about referencing custom assembly in a report, please see:
Using Custom Assemblies with Reports

Need help to make a Pie Chart

I am trying to draw a pie chart for the Uptime Report.
I have the Following table definition.
create table downtime_detail ( env_code number, down_start date, down_end date );
insert into downtime_detail values (1,to_date('26-JAN-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('26-JAN-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('26-JAN-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('26-JAN-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('01-FEB-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('03-FEB-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('15-FEB-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('15-FEB-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
insert into downtime_detail values (2,to_date('26-FEB-2008 02:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),to_date('28-FEB-2008 03:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') );
Now the Below Query returns me the values val1 and val2 on the basis of which I need to draw a Pie Chart.
==========================================================
select round((DOWN/TOTAL)*100,2) val1 , round(100-((DOWN/TOTAL)*100),2) val2
from
(select sum((DOWN_END - DOWN_START)*24) DOWN from DOWNTIME_DETAIL where ENV_CODE=2 ) a ,
(select ((sysdate - to_date('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY')) * 24) TOTAL from dual ) b
VAL1 VAL2
3.64 96.36
==========================================================
Can someone help me try do this ?
Actually I tried but I couldnt put my custom query to get this Pie chart. Or if there is any other better approach please let me know.

nikhilskamik,
I believe all that you are missing in your sql is a NULL. Below is the help text for creating a Flash pie chart.
Specify the SQL query that will populate your chart, for example:
select null, ename, sal
from emp
Alternatively you can write a PL/SQL function return a SQL query, for example:
begin
return 'select null, ename, sal from emp';
end;
Your query should then read:
select null,round((DOWN/TOTAL)*100,2) val1 , round(100-((DOWN/TOTAL)*100),2) val2
from
(select sum((DOWN_END - DOWN_START)*24) DOWN from DOWNTIME_DETAIL where ENV_CODE=2 ) a ,
(select ((sysdate - to_date('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY')) * 24) TOTAL from dual ) b

No data in Active sessions pie-chart and availability is 0%

Hi All,
Does anyone know why my Enterprise Manager cosole in Oracle 10g installed on windows xp professional is not showing any data? Availabilty is always 0% for the instance ORCL and the active sessions pie-chart is always showing 0.01 since May 17,2005.
Can anyone tell me how to configure EM so that instance ORCL and the active sessions start showing data again?
Thanks

Hi,
Kindly activate the data request. Post that, Under "request available for reporting" a symbol will appear which means that the data has been moved to Active table and is available for reporting at further levels.
And you can then check for contents in the active table of the DSo, you should get the records.
Change log: Contains the change history for the delta update from the DataStore object into other data targets, such as DataStore objects or InfoCubes. It makes sense in case of delta uploads.

ActiveX and pie chart problem

I am trying to create a bar of pie chart in Excel 2003. I am able to insert my data and create the chart, but I need to set the "SplitValue" to 6. I was able to find the property for doing this but I get an error when I run the vi (see attached). Any thoughts?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think your problem is that you don't have "Index" wired for the ChartGroups property. Thus, it may be returning a collection of chart groups, but you are typecasting it to a single chart group.

SSRS Report Builder 3.0 - Pie Chart

Hi,
I have Pie chart that displays Number of items by Country,
My data set is pulling the correct values.
The 3D effect is true for the pie chart and the Series Labels are set to diplay out of the Slice.
I used the collected style to be SingleSlice and not using percentages but just the values less than or = 5 to be collected to other countries slice.
for labels format I am using a column value from the query where I Concatenate the Value and Name of the country as string as I am not showing the legend on the chart for more space
All the values are showing up right except for one value for one slice which is added extra numbers at the beginning of the number part of the string.
For Example , if for USA there are 320 items it should should show up as USA - 320 as that is the value that the query bring and I double checked that. But that value dipslays USA - 12320 for some reason and this is happening only with one
label.
I might be missing somethign silly but if someone can save my time and help me it would be appreciated.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Chaitanya

Hi Chaitanya,
Sorry for the delay.
I am unable to reproduce the issue in my test environment. The issue seems rather odd. Here, I suggest that you create a new report and design the Pie Chart from scratch, and then check the issue again.
If the issue persists, please post the expression of the label data as well as the CustomAttributes settings of the target series of the Pie Chart.

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

Hi,
I am trying to export reports from Discoverer Plus and Viewer to XCEL
but the Header's Formatting like Bold and Background Color etc are
not being exported as seen in Plus.
Could you please advice on how to make this happen.
Thanks,

i tried this option..but the problem is as follows
Excel Export:+ The header comes like this

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?

Michael

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/
& Oracle’s info:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/rittman_olap.html

Hope this helps.

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
Kevin C

Edited by: cmingl on Feb 11, 2010 1:30 PM

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,
Sutirtha
