Discoverer Plus workbook editing window size

Is there a way to make all (or at least a few) workbook editing windows open as full screen (or larger than the default) ???
Each time I edit something in a workbook, I have to resize all the windows I open and it's kind of annoying.
Thanks
Michael
PS : I'm using Plus 10g release 1

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.

Disable Discoverer Plus workbook wizard popup

Hi,
Does anyone know how to disable the workbook wizard from popping up when you first connect to Discoverer Plus?
Regards,
Gladys

Hi Gladys
Well different tools do it different ways. I have to agree, as I said in another posting, that BO's user interface is nicer than Discoverer's. That said though, Discoverer's out and out querying capabilities are superb and, in my opinion, superior to BO's.
To be honest, for running workbooks, Plus is simply the wrong tool for comparison with BO. Viewer is the tool for that and it does list the worksheets alongside the current workbook. Plus was designed as a development tool, Viewer as the end user tool.
Hope this helps

Editing window size

I am shooting wide screen format with a Canon VIXIA HG20. In Premier Pro CS4 the video in the program sequence window looks like it is enlarged and the outer areas of the video are cut off. The video in the source sequence window, however, displays the video as I saw it in the viewfinder of the camera. I have no idea why this is happening and have had absolutely no success in solving the problem. I sure hope one of you provide a solution.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same camera and I don't get green frames. The only time I did was when I pulled larger files (longer length clips) directly from the camera to my PC. However, they were entirely green with no picture visable. This quit happening when I started using Canon's nearly useless software that came with the camera. This software allowed me to retrieve the entire clip in one larger file.
I am still on the lookout for what sequence presets work best for this camera if anyone has some ideas. I understand this mostly affects the final output to DVD where some people have gotten horizontal lines.
I'm also basically uneducated as to what is offered by some of these presets below:
-AVCHD 1080i25 (50i) Anamorphic
Anamorphic 1920x1080 (ex. 1440x1080) 16:9 interlaced HD at 25fps
-AVCHD 1080i25 (50i)
1920x1080 square pixels (non-anamorphic) at 16:9 interlaced HD Video at 25fps
-AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic
Anamorphic 1920x1080 (ex. 1440x1080) 16:9 interlaced HD at 29.97 fps drop-frame timecode numbering
-AVCHD 1080i30 (60i)
1920x1080 square pixels (non-anamorphic) 16:9 interlaced HD video at 29.97fps drop-frame timecode numbering

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>

How to hide discoverer connection page after opening discoverer plus?

Hi,
I invoke the following url in browser window 1 to open Oracle DIscoverer Plus.
I notice the browser window 1 will open a window (say i call it browser window 2) to display the Oracle Discoverer Plus application.
Once the Oracle Discoverer Plus java applet is fully loaded, the browser window 1 will show the Connect to Discoverer Plus page.
I wonder if we can configure not to show this page as my users might confuse to see a few existing connections listed there and in fact if possible, I don't want user to see the list of connections.
Anyway to get rid of the page?
Please advise.
Thank you.

I am trying to use URL parameters to keep Discoverer Plus from launching a new window after login. I notice that what works in Discoverer Viewer does not work in Discoverer Plus.
The following works with Discoverer Viewer :
<iframe src="https://cohort50.spinsys.com:8251/discoverer/viewer?framedisplaystyle=embedded"
width="100%" height=100%></iframe>
After Viewer login the next page displays in the same window, just as I want it to.
Discoverer Plus behaves differently. If I try this with Discoverer Plus a new window is launched after successful login. I also tried adding the pluspopup=false parameter to the URL, but the problem remains.
Neither of the following two fragments prevent a new window from launching after successful login to Discoverer Plus :
<iframe src="https://cohort50.spinsys.com:8251/discoverer/plus?framedisplaystyle=embedded"
width="100%" height=100%></iframe>
<iframe src="https://cohort50.spinsys.com:8251/discoverer/plus?framedisplaystyle=embedded&_plus_popup=false"
width="100%" height=100%></iframe>
Does anybody have any advice for me? What must I do?

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

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

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

Discoverer Portal -- Workbooks via Plus

Cna workbooks be run via Discoverer Plus (instead of Viewer) in Discoverer Portal ??
If so, how ??

Yes, you can. Go to:
http://yourserver.yourdomain/discoverer/plus
You can register discoverer portlet provider and use discoverer gauges, instead of viewer and plus.... See if you have Discoverer Plus properly installed and discoverer plus service started, in your OAS administration (Application Server Control):
http://yourhost.yourdomain:18101
(This is for OAS 10gR2, not sure where you should look for in previous releases...)
Click in your middle tier installation and you'll be able to see if you have discoverer services started (plus, viewer and portlet provider).
BR,
Marcos

Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.55.26 Error loading 2nd, 3rd, workbooks

When loading Discoverer Plus, the 1st workbook always runs but sometimes the 2nd workbook and every one after that gets errors and will not load. I am administrator for a large group of Discoverer users on our database across the USA and a lot of users are experiencing these errors.
What happens is that the errors always happen in a certain sequence. The first error is always starting with "Unexpected...", the second error always starts with "Missing eventSupportConnect ...", and the third one is "An internal server error has occurred. ...." or sometimes "Contact with the Discoverer Server has been lost. ...", or other users have seen "OutOfMemory error occurred." Or sometimes "model.xml.PropertyDriver: ...".
Here is the text of the first error we see:
Unexpected java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected java.lang.IllegalStateException: missing eventSupportConnect on: oracle.disco.model.corbaserver.WorksheetinfoImpl@ ........
Here is the text of the second error we see:
missing eventSupportConnect on: oracle.disco.model.corbaserver.WorksheetInfoImpl@ ........
When we log out and back on again, sometimes the errors do not occur for that session and sometimes they still do.
This only happens with Discoverer Plus which uses Java, never Discoverer Viewer or Discoverer Desktop.
We previously had Java 6 Update 22 and experienced the errors. When our comptuers were upgraded to Java 6 Update 24, the errors seemed to get better (went away completely for me) for over a week and I thought that had stopped the problem. But last week some of my users saw errors and today I saw the errors. I checked and my computer is still at Java 6 Update 24.
If anybody had experienced this before and solved it, please let me know.
Thank you for your time,
Mike J.

Michael,
Our server guy confirms that Version 6 Update 24 is what we have on the servers. He has been trying to solve this issue for two months with no real success. I just logged into Discoverer and did not see the errors. It's not every time a user logs in, but it's often enough to be quite a bit of trouble.
Another issue that I see before me (literally on my screen) is when the dialogue box is up to open an existing workbook and the little blue text boxes, sometimes called "hints", pops up with the name of the workbook and it's owner, if the mouse pointer is not moved right away then that little blue box stays on the screen in that spot and does not move or erase. It will stay there until you exit Discoverer and exit from all Internet Explorer windows. When I minimize all windows, the blue text box is still in that spot on the screen now on my windows background.
This blue box error has bugged some of my users but at least a user can move the screen around it. The other error is more serious because it keeps a user from getting their reports.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Size of edit window

I was replying to a post and noted the edit window scrolling left to right. I checked my screen resolution and noted that my children had lowered it to 1024x768 from my usual 1280x1024.
Why doesn't the edit window scale itself to the screen resolution? Either that or make it less wide to accomodate the not so small size of 1024x768 for those users whose eyes are not what they used to be.
Does this happen to anyone else, or am I alone in my experience?

We all accept that... but, as 'Moderators' you could:

What makes you think we haven't? There are other channels than what you see here you know.

I've been part of support forums for longer than I care to remember. I see it as I do the software I use. Sure, there are spots that drive me crazy. But it's what we have for the moment. I'm not going to stop helping my fellow users just because of the forum issues. But I guess that translates to being an Adobe apologist in your eyes.
shunithD wrote:
3/ Take a more proactive stand instead of being apologists and banning the more vociferous protesters - who anyway seem to complain only here and not in the product forums. BTW has anyone noticed this point?
Again, I've never banned anyone. Only Adobe can actually do that. And even then, it happens only after folks recommend someone be banned. I've not done that either. And again, I do recognize that you were generic with the comment and said "moderators" and not just me. As for the complaints being here, well, this IS the forum comments area. So if you are upset with the forums, isn't this the place to express that? Mind you I do feel that some are abusive with the expressions.
I've made no efforts to cover the fact that to me, the Jive forums are an improvement overall when compared to the FuseTalk forums I experienced before. So unlike many here, I come from a totally different frame of reference. It doesn't mean I think the Jive forums are as good as they should be and that they don't have issues, but they are better than what my software product areas had before.

How to show photos at 100% size in the Edit window?

Background: I am using iWeb 1.1.1 to re-make my .Mac Homepage website; I love this newer, more flexible application and I love using iPhoto 6.0.4 with it.
My iPhoto 6.0.4 question:
How can I get the photos to show in their maximum size in the Edit box? There are some photos that I want to show as large as possible or even enlarge, and when the photos show at smaller than their exposed size, I feel disadvantaged.
I welcome any advice you send. I am feeling a bad crunch right now because my graphics program of choice, Photoshop Elements 2, is not opening up for me (It's been stopping at the point where the message says: "Photoshop is not sending any personal information") and I cannot find the CD right now. It's here somewhere but...........

This is very easy to fix. There are many threads
here, at the Adobe forum and in any forum where PE is
mentioned. Quit PE, then take your computer totally
offline (unplug the ethernet cable, shut down airport
if that's what you use). Now launch PE, then go to
Preferences>Adobe Online and set Check for Updates to
Never. There never were any, never will be now for PE
2, so you won't miss anything.
Barbara..... if there never were any updates to PE2 and never will be any, then why would I need to disallow updates?
BTW, I discovered how to get the picture to show up full size. iPhoto 6 is different than iPhoto 4, and while experimenting with some edits I discovered the Small Head — Big Head toggle bar in the Edit Window, and that was my answer.

Discoverer Plus Window Just Disappears

I have installed 10g IAS on a 2000 server. (Both infra and Midtier on the same) I am running Discoverer plus from an XP machine.

Hi,
In addition to above I have notices that when virtual memory is low I got these files generated.
The reason may be while virtual memory is low, windows OS generates more pages for Virtual Memory, some processes are denied the allocation of the pages or say memory. This may be the reason that you get your windows closed.
Look How I got the error description in the pages :

Hi All,
I have been working through issues we have been having with our scheduling and I have noticed that we have the exact problem identified on Metalink note 457148.1. It advocates applying some patches:
1. Apply the Application Server 10g 10.1.2.2 patchset 2 Patch 4960210 plus the latest Discoverer cumulative patch per Note 237607.1 'ALERT: Required and Recommended Patch Levels For All Discoverer Versions'
2. This is also included in Application Server 10g 10.1.2.3 patchset 3 Patch 5983622.
**** Non-patch Workaround ****
Disable the Query Prediction: Edit pref.txt on the middle-tier server and set QPPEnable=0 and Execute the applypreferences script (.sh or .bat)
My question: Has anyone done this workaround? We do not have a test box to test this before we make the change and we just went live with EBS R12 in April and I really do not need the additional excitement of trying to back-out of a failed patching.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi patrick,
Here you are using 10.1.2.2.But i do suggest you to upgrade to 10.1.2.3 version because it handles most of the issues.
You can go through it in michael's post.Here is the link

How to insert a logo in discoverer plus edition

Hi
I want to insert a logo/image file in discoverer plus edition(In Worksheet).
Please anyone help me on the same.
Regards
Sreehari

Hi Kranthi
Sorry but this is still not included with the 11g release.
The only change in 11g R1 is the underlying application server which has now become weblogic. The user interface and interoperability is the same as in 10.1.2.3.
11g R2 is due out in 2010 and so far no specs have been issued as to what might be included other than the interfacing to OBI EE 11g.
