Discoverer plus Problem

Hai Friends...
I installed oracle 9ias 1.0.2.2 on 8.1.6 database.
I am unable to run the discovere plus.
I got the following error.
Unable to connect to the discoverer has detected a conflict
loading java class
oracle/discover/corba/_st_DCILocator.
I wouid appreciate any help.
Cheers
Gopi

Gopi:
When you completed the 9iAS installation, did you register the
Discoverer Collector, Preferences, and Session?
On a Windows NT / 2K environment, you can do this by launching:
Programs -> Oracle Discoverer Server 4i Setup -> Register
Preferences.
Do this for each as listed above. The lack of a session object
may be the source of your viewer problem as well.

Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

Hi,
When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
Any thoughts?
Justin

Discoverer plus login problem

hai,
i getting error while login to discoverer plus 10.1.2.0.2
is " Error
Unable to open a new browser window. Ensure that you do not have popup windows disabled for this site."
if i worked with discoverer viewer, it working fine
where is the problem, please let me know it.

It appears Java pop-up window could not be opened, You could try
1. You can uncheck the 'Turn on Pop-up Blocker' under Privacy tab in IE
2. Turn off the Google/Yahoo pop-up blocker if you have these plug-ins
3. Also, ensure you can download ActiveX Control signed and unsigned with prompting enabled
4. After entering the user/name password, press Control Key down then click the login button

Problem with opening discoverer plus by URL

Hi Gurus,
I am opening the discoverer plus worksheet using a URL from another web page to skip the connections page. Heres the hyperlink, I am using for the same
http://burs52:7779/discoverer/plus?&_plus=true&nlsl=en-us&cn=cf_a122&lookandfeelname=system&workbooksource=Database
This would directly bring the 'Open workbook from Database' page with list of workbooks for the particular connection, but the problem is that every time it opens the discoverer plus it would automatically open the connection page(http://burs52:7779/discoverer/plus?) in the parent window(webpage with the hyperlink). This would confuse the end user.
Is it possible to avoid this? i.e keep the parent page unchaged
Thanks in advance
NJ

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.

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.

Problem opening excel files exported from Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48.18

I can't open excel files (xls) exported from Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48.18 when I enable macros. The application (Excel) hangs up.
Someone have any idea about this?
Thanks,
Diego

Hi Meifang
I did some more research and found a document on MetaLink 250820.1 that talks about Discoverer not being able to call Excel if Discoverer is running via an IP address instead of a qualified domain name.
The article talks about making Discoverer a trusted site in the Internet Options of IE. Here's the relevant info from the posting:
Workaround for MS IE (if necessary):
1. Open a new MS IE browser
2. Navigate to: Tools | Internet Options Security where you will see the Trusted Sites icon (green icon with a check mark)
3. Click the Sites button
4. Add the following: http://IP:port/
(where IP, port are the location of where Discoverer server is running)
5. Click the OK button
6. Click the OK button again
On my own PC, I was having a similar problem and I was unable to get Excel to launch. In the end I did this:
1. Open a new MS IE browser
2. Navigate to: Tools | Internet Options | Security where you will see the Local Intranet icon (computer icon against a globe)
3. Click the Local Intranet button
4. Click the Sites button
5. Click the Advanced button
6. Add the following: http://IP/ or http://website
(where IP or website are the location of where Discoverer server is running)
7. Click the Add button
8. Click the OK button
9. Click the OK button again
10. Click the OK button a third time
With this done, I made sure that my Explorer settings were correct by doing the following to ensure that a couple of settings for the .xls & .html file types are unchecked:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Navigate to: Tools | Folder Options | File Types tab
3. Highlight the Extension XLS (or HTML)
4. Click the Advanced button
5. At the botton of the screen are three settings that use checkboxes. If either of the following two are checked, un-check them:
Confirm Open after Download and Browse in same window
6. Click the OK button
7. Click the Apply button
8. Re-boot the PC
After I did this I was successfully able to get Excel to open from within Discoverer.
Best wishes

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.
John

Pl provide OS and Discoverer versions. Are you following the steps in the Install Guide ? http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/install.1111/e10421/toc.htm

Discoverer Plus loading problem after logging on

Anyone has tips how the following problem can be resolved?:
When logging on to Disco plus, it takes a long time before we get the "edit worksheet" window.
First the applet is loaded, this only takes a long time the first time (still anoying).
But then even when the applet is loaded, it takes more than 30 sec before the ediw worksheet screen shows up!
So, i checked the pref.txt, assumed that the problem could be in the setting of "ObjectsAlwaysAccessible", but this is set to 1 which should be good.
Anyone can help?
We are using plus version 10.1.2.48.18

Hi Sandra
This is accessed using Application Server Control, another component of the application server. To launch it you would call the same URL you use for Discoverer but omit the /discoverer/plus piece.
For example, if you normally access Discoverer using http://myserver:7779/discoverer/plus you would launch the main welcome page by using http://myserver:7779
In the right-hand side you should see a link to something called Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control. When you click it you will need to provide a username and password. The username is always ias_admin. For the password you will have to ask internally in your organization.
Once inside the control screen use this workflow:
1. Click on the link for Discoverer
2. Click on the link for Discoverer Plus
3. Scroll down to the section called Communication Protocols
4. More than likely your connection will be showing Default. Try changing this to Tunneling - this forces Discoverer to use HTTP
5. Click the OK button
6. Navigate back to the application control home page
7. Click the Restart All button and wait for Discoverer to restart all of its components
9. Exit from application server control and test your logging in
Does this help at all?
Best wishes

yo he hecho algunos gráficos en Discoverer Plus 4.1.43 y no he tenido ningún problema. Has buscado en Metalink?

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.

Discoverer Plus Scheduling Problem

Here is my Configuration:
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.3)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.55.26
Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.55.26
End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.55.26
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
Copyright © 1999, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
First of all, Disco scheduling in Plus works fine in our production instance. In our test instance, I have a user whom wants to schedule workbooks from time to time where a new folder is being tested. My problem is that when I am on step two of the schedule wizard and I select immediate (or manually place a time in that is very soon (e.g. 5 minutes from now)), the workbook took hours yesterday to show as “scheduled” in the “Managed Scheduled Workbooks” tool.
Today it works fine and runs immediately. I created a very simple workbook titled, "scheduling test", which has one column, a calculation which is set to sysdate. I began testing this yesterday.
Does any thoughts on what is causing this trouble?
I did the following:
1. I notice that a package is created in the scheduling schema for the workbook scheduled.
2. I tried to query for scheduled jobs created by dbms_job (queried Dba_Jobs using the system account and could not find the job...either yesterday or today).
3. I tried to query v$sql with the intent of seeing when the package, batch_rep_secure.submit_job,is executed...but could not find the scheduled records.
4. I tried gleaning information from the "Manage Scheduled Workbooks" tool associated with the Disco Administrator, and the time column was null (yesterday).
5. I had our dba check the init<sid>.ora file and confirmed that the job_queue_processes have been set to 10.
To rectify this yesterday, I just manually executed the package, EUL5_BATCH_PACKAGE10061409140713, and shortly thereafter, the scheduled workbook would have a new table associated with it which was consumable through Disco Plus.
My hunch is that our job queue was backed-up significantly yesterday and this was delaying the scheduling and running of scheduled workbooks.
Does any one have any thoughts about what the root cause was here and how I could confirm this?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick
That would be my hunch too. You could also check the database privileges granted tp each user. Here's what I use:
accept username prompt'Enter Username: '
accept pword prompt'Enter Password: '
create user &username identified by &password;
grant connect, resource to &&username;
grant analyze any to &&username;
grant create procedure, create sequence to &&username;
grant create session, create table, create view to &&username;
grant execute any procedure to &&username;
grant global query rewrite to &&username;
grant select any table, unlimited tablespace to &&username;
grant execute on sys.dbms_job to &&username;
grant select on sys.v_$parameter to &&username;

Discoverer 4i Plus Problem

Hi,
I have installed 9iAS 1.0.2.2 on Windows 2000 server which has two network ip addresses. One of the ip address is not functioning well. So the prefeences.txt file contains the functioning ip address. Also I have set this ip in the registerpreference.bat file. But still whenever I register preference, session or collector it still shows that all are registered on the non-functioning ip.
Discovere Plus works well on the server where 9iAS is installed through IE but whenever I try to connect from other machines it gives 'Wide area network connection failed. Failed to connect to locator pointed to by locator.ior file. Local area network connection failed. Failed to connect to locator using OSAgent. Gatekeeper connection failed.'
Please can someone help me?

Hi Discoverer Technical Team,

not being exported as seen in Plus.
Could you please advice on how to make this happen.

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?
Regards
Michael

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
