How to display binary file saved in BLOB column in Discoverer PLUS /VIEWER

HI, Friends,
I tried to display the binary file saved in the database in BLOB column with the *.doc or *.xls fomats, but it seemed not work at all. I can display them in discoverer DESKTOP, but not the web version PLUS or VIEWER. MY Discoverer PLUS/VIEWER version is 9.0.4.45.02 and the database is 9.2.0.4. Are there any special setting/configuration in somewhere (Discoverer administration/Applicaiton server/PLUS/VIEWER?)
Any help /information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Sorry but this feature is not available in the web version of 9.0.4.45. You will have to write your own mod_plsql function to download the file.

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?

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,
VJ

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

Error connecting in Discoverer Plus/Viewer 10.1.2

I'm triying to connect to Discoverer Plus or Viewer. When I get to the login screen, fill all the required fields, but I got the following message: "The application encountered an invalid state.
- - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
When I run the checkdiscoverer. It works ok in all the checks except for: "Error: Failed to bind to Discoverer Server.
Hint: Try increasing the timeout by changing the timeout value in opmn.xml.". As the hint said I increased the start timeout, I got it up to 3500 and even incresed the minprocs to see if that helped. Nothing worked.
I'm testing this in a Windows XP Pro SP2 installed 1GB Ram. I Installed the BI Tools, App server but no infrastructure. The Installation process finished without any problems, except for a warning regarding not being able to determine the IP address. I can access all the options of the app server.

Hi Christian
In your connection to the database are you using a DNS named server or are you using an actual IP address?
By this I mean, when you launch Discoverer, do you do it this way:
http://servername.domain.com:7777/discoverer/plus
or this way:
http://ipaddress:7777/discoverer/plus
If you are using the former, can you go to the server itself and run Discoverer ok? If you can then it is a case that your local machine cannot work out what the IP address is. Let's say, for arguements sake, that you server is http://myserver.mydomain.com and that the IP is 192.168.1.100
You could try editing your HOSTS file and inserting a line in there to associate the IP with the domain. To do this, follow this workflow:
1. Right click on Windows Start button and from pop upmenu select Explore
2. Navigate to the folder called Windows/system32/drivers/etc
3. Locate the file called HOSTS
4. Edit this file with Notepad
5. Insert a line like this:
myserver.mydomain.com 192.168.1.100
6 Save the HOSTS file and exit Explorer
This associates the IP with the server name.
Does this help

Michael

Link from Discoverer (Plus/Viewer) to Reports?

Is it possible to create a link from a cell on a Discoverer sheet to an Oracle Reports report? I.e. doubleclick on cell value "A" and run report with "A" as parameter?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Access links should be like this.
Discoverer Plus - http://<your domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus
Discoverer Viewer - http://<your domain>:<port>/discoverer/viewer
<port> default port is 7778.
Try now.
Your Administrator is responsible for you to provide the links for both. Check with him.

HELP: Synchronization between Disc Plus/Viewer/Admin/Client

Can anyone explain this to me: changes in end user layers in admin edition and reports in desktop edition aren't showing up in disc plus and viewer (using the same schema). I've even deleted business areas that are still showing up in disc plus!!

This could be a problem with diferent versions of discoverer. You can check the version of discoverer and the version of the EUL that it's using innthe help menu. For Example Discoverer 3.1 EUL it's Diferent from Disco 4 EUL and so on.
Hope this Helps. I think you're right. On the server I'm running 4.1.3.7, but on my desktop I installed the latest and greatest that came with the 9i Dev Suite release 2 and had to upgrade the EUL when I ran the admin edition. Do you know if Discoverer Plus/Viewer are compatible with 9i Dev Suite discoverer edition? If so, is there any configuration that needs to be done to have it synch with this latest discoverer release?
Thanks.

Discoverer plus patch installation help

i have installed the base version of discoverer 10.1.2.0.2 and version of plus installed is 10.1.2.48.18.
For discoverer plus to work in ie7 i came to know that i have to apply this PatchSet3 from the link
https://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=5983622 and CP6.
I have installed with the name BIHome_1 in E Drive.The path of installation is E:\Oracle\BIHome_1.Now when i am trying to install patchset3 "5983622" ,it is asking me for the name and path and by defult it is taking name as oracleas1 and path as E:\OraHome_1.
What shuld be the actual path of this patch?should i point the path to E:\Oracle\BIHome_1?
If i give the default path and try to install ,it is giving me error as "there is no patch that needs to be applied".
can you tell me correct path for this patch to be installed?
Am i using the correct patchset3(5983622) ?

Hi ,
From the path pf installation it seems that it is a Discoverer Admin/Desktop installation .
Is the above is correct ?
Patch 5983622 is Discoverer 10.1.2.3 patch which can be applied on Discoverer Admin/Desktop and also on Discoverer Plus/Viewer .
In order to apply Patch 5983622 on Discoverer Admin/Desktop do the following
1. Click on to the setup.exe
2. In the OUI make sure Source is pointing to <Your Patch downloaded location>Disk1\stage\products.xml
3. For Destination choose the Oracle_Home pointing to your Discoverer Admin/Desktop installation directory .
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Install Discoverer Plus

Hi There,
Right now we have Discoverer Desktop installed in each user PC and connected to an ODS database machine.
What is the process and extra requirement to install the Discoverer Plus to current setup or need to re-install BI again?
Also what is the extra hardware requirement to install the Discoverer Plus?
Thanks and Regards,
Kevin C

Hi,
You need to install Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition on a server. This could be a separate home on the database server, or it could be dedicated server. The users would then connect to Discoverer Plus/Viewer on this server which would manage the connections to the database.

Discoverer Plus - Manage Link option is not working in Viewer

I am working on 10.1.2.3 Discoverer Plus. I have created one workbook with multiple worksheets (1 detail sheet and 4 Left Group Report.
I have created seperate links for 4 worksheets. Drill to Details is working fine in discoverer plus and parameter values passed as per the mapping in managed link option.
However, when I tried to access the report in Viewer, parameter values is not coming as per the mapping.
In detail sheet we have several optional parameters
from One summary Sheet, I am not passing all the values to the parameters in the detailed sheet.
Those column for which, I am not passing any value is coming as NULL (it should come blank as report is treating NULL as string), so no data found

Thanks Lloyd,
Drill Down is working fine in Viewer and Plus.
Parameter's passed from one sheet to another is also working fine in plus but in viewer I have some problems.
Here are the details of the problem I am facing.
I have 2 Summary Sheets and 1 Detail Sheet
Sheet 1: 3 Parameters (Summary)
Sheet 2: 4 Parameters (Summary)
Sheet 3: 7 Parameters (Details)
When I am clicking on Sheet1 to Drill down 3 parameters are having correct values but the 4 parameters which can't be passed to Sheet 3 is coming 'NULL' (NULL string value) so detail report is not showing any data. Similarly for Sheet 2 4 parameters are coming as expected but 3 are coming as NULL.
When I am defining Manage Link Option, I am doing the mapping for 3 Column for Sheet 1 rest 4 columns are BLANK (no info).
I hope now my problem will be clear.
Thanks & Regards

Discoverer Plus 10gR2 not show data when the script of view have package

Hi my friends.
I have a problem with discoverer plus, I don't know is a problem or I'm doing something wrong.
I have a four views, the views containg in the SELECT stament and WHERE clause packages, example:
SELECT d.price,
d.total,
d.min,
d.mx,
TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'q') quarter,
d.fid,
k_xdcd_qry.f_xdc_obt_price (d.prod, d.id) --> package
k_xpxpd_qry.f_xpeds_salary_ca_u (
d.prod,
d.id) xp --> package
FROM px_prices_proc c,
xp_sla_max d,
xmp_sla_puc b
WHERE a.prod = b.prod
AND a.id = b.id
AND a.prod = k_xps_tools.f_obt_prod --> package
When I used the views on discoverer plus for construct the report, when execute the query not show data.
Appreciate it if you could help or tell me I'm doing wrong or does not support Discoverer Plus package execution.

Hi Tux,
This appears to be a grant issue. Apparently, you have granted execute with respect to this package to the EUL owner or the view would not have compiled. If you have not given EUL owner the grant option, I would recommend doing this as well.
This appears to be an Oracle APPS EUL (tell me if I am wrong). If this is the case, it goes without saying that APPS will need to be granted the execute privilege.
Also, by default, a stored package executes with the privileges of its owner. If your custom package was designed this way, are the objects which it references received the appropriate grant? I assume you tested this, but I am concerned that the line, a.prod = k_xps_tools.f_obt_prod, in the where clause could be resulting in the Null set being returned.

Views not available in Discoverer Plus

Hi Gurus,
I have created some views using Oracle 10 g Disco Admin v 9.0.4 and I am able to access them from Disco Desktop v 9.0.4
However, when I log in to Discoverer Plus, those views are not available. I am logging with the same user id that I am using for desktop. Some of the users who are on the previous version of Disco Desktop are facing the same problem. First I thought it might be a version mismatch issue, but now it is happening with Disco Plus too.
Here is the Disco Plus version details:
Oracle Application Server Discoverer 10g (9.0.4.00.00)
Oracle Application Server Discoverer Plus 10g (9.0.4.45.02)
Discoverer Model - 9.0.4.45.02
Discoverer Server - 9.0.4.45.02

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jagan,
Thanks for your reply and I have just transported the Role after the views have been assigned to it.
I'll update you once the Role is moved to Quality.
