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).

Marcos

When sharing WBs via plus I see all db accounts - which is what I dont want

Hi all,
As stated in the subject title, when sharing WB's via plus, users can see the list of all database users in the share workbook payne. Is it possible to change this so that non-discoverer users can be removed from this list...I am particularly concerned that all default database accounts i.e. SYS, SYSTEM, SYSMAN, DBSNMP and so forth appear visible to anyone attempting to share a WB. What I would like to do is have only those accounts that have ben specifically created for my discoverer project to be able to be visible to a user who is sharing a WB. So far I have yet to establish if this can be do, hence why I am posting...
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Hi Rod
I don't believe this was ever implemented.
Andrew: I have used the ALL_USERS trick myself many times and it works just fine. If you want to filter out the system accounts, as Rod suggested, just create a new SYS view and a synonym for that view as part of each user's creation script. Here is one that I did recently:
When connected as SYS I created this view:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Z_ASC_ALL_USERS
AS SELECT * FROM SYS.ALL_USERS
WHERE SUBSTR(USERNAME,1,3) = SUBSTR(USER,1,3);
I then issued this grant: GRANT SELECT ON Z_ASC_ALL_USERS TO PUBLIC;
I then created these synonyms for my SALES users:
CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM SAL_ADMIN.ALL_USERS FOR SYS.Z_ASC_ALL_USERS;
CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM SAL_USER.ALL_USERS FOR SYS.Z_ASC_ALL_USERS;
Of course you don't want this synonym being used for non-Discoverer users so don't create it for SYSTEM or any other non-Discoverer account.
What the above does is to let users only see other users whose accounts being with the same 3 characters as their account. Thus if either SAL_ADMIN or SAL_USER were trying to share a report the only user they will see in the list will be the other Sales user.
By the way, there is no need to filter roles as these are filtered by the database naturally thus preventing someone sharing a report with a role that they don't have.
Best wishes

Discoverer EUL Workbooks - Query Statistics, Workbooks Queried By User

Hi there.
I've just ran Discoverer EUL workbooks and found out a nice functionality on one of those queries. It's on EUL Query Statistics workbook, "Workbooks Queried By User" worksheet (and others).
If you take a look at the "Worksheet Usage" column, you'll notice that there's an effect that looks a lot like a "progress bar". According to the times that worksheet was used, this bar advances or retract.
I noticed it's a calculated column, but when I try to edit it, it shows no more than COUNT_DISTINCT("Date & Sheet"). I got a little confused on how this COUNT_DISTINCT shows that "progress bar"....
So... how can I implement this on my DM queries?
TIA.

You need Desktop. When you format the data, there is a check box to show graphical bars. This option is not available in Plus, but the bars will show up when the report is displayed in Plus.

Calling Discoverer 4i workbook from Forms

How to call a Discoverer 4i workbook (saved in the database) via Forms?
Best regards
Honorio Jr

Are we talking web or C/S ?
In C/S discoverer has a command line interface that you can use to pass parameters such as workbook name and call it with host from Forms.
On the Web you can call the workbook with URL and parameters by using web.show_document in forms.

Integrating a non-Portal system via a web service SSO

Hi all,
Hope you could help with this scenario. There is a request from a client to integrate a non-Portal website into their Portal system via a single-sign on web service. In particular,
1. Portal user will see an iView in the Portal with the following form elements:
     --username field
     --employee ID field
     --submit button
     *there will be no password field because it is already fixed (can be fixed/hardcoded in the web service call)
2. Upon clicking the Submit button, the web service call is executed
     --the web service response contains a URL (which is the non-Portal website)
3. The Portal automatically displays the contents of the URL in the iView
Is this a feasible scenario? What is the best way to implement this?
Thanks in advance

Hi Charisse,
You are going in the right direction. I can give some technical input like you need to create the wsdl and need to create a stub after that using this wsdl and inside this stub all the informations will need to be mentioned.

Discoverer 11g Workbook Fails With Single row subquery returns more than 1

All -
We are using discoverer-11g workbook using EBS 12.1.3 integration
We are seeing below error message only for few users on all workbooks in discoverer.
ORA-01427 Single row subquery returns more than one row
EBS Version : 12.1.3
Discoverer Version : 11.1.1.6
Database Version : 11.2.0.3
Please advise on this
Regards
VSH

Hi,
If it is happening for only a few users then the problem may be caused by security conditions built into the query. However, you need to give us some information about the SQL the workbooks are running. Do you get this error even for the very simple queries?

Sharing departed users Discoverer 10g Workbooks

How can Discoverer 10g Workbooks be shared if you do not have access to the workbooks creator's id? Can this be done using Oracle Discoverer Admin tool? If so how?
Senario
User A Creates Workbooks
User A Shares Workbooks
User A Leaves the organization.
User A's id is locked.
User B is designated user As replacement.
How can User B assume ownership of user A's workbooks?
Message was edited by:
user474347

Hi,
You can either update the workbook ownership in the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table. This is dangerous because updateing the EUL tables can easily corrupt your EUL.
The safer option is to export User As workbooks using Disco Admin and then import them when connected as UserB using the take ownership of workbooks option on the import.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

EP-7- Portal access via IP

Hi ,
We are using EP7, and my issue is we are not able to access portal site via IP address. Only it can able to access FQDN only. Is there anyway to use via IP address.
Please guide us
Regards
MLN

Because of its nature EP require full use of FQDN to operate properly...
Why do you want to use the IP address?
Anyhow you should be able to at least see the logon screen and even logon using the IP Address but it won't work properly.

Discoverer creating workbook with item hierarchies that I don't want.

In Discoverer PLUS 10g (OracleBI Discoverer version 10.1.2.55.26):
I create a worbook, but when I drag item, they bring item hierarchies, but I didn't create item hierarchies.
It seems when I drag all the items for the business area it's fine, but when I drag out a item, all others items are items hierarchies after that. Next I drag the last item, afters that, all items are normal, they are not item hierarchies.
In DiscovererADMIN, we did not created item hierachies who could bring itemhierachies in a worbook.
This problem is present one spécific database, I tested the problem in a other database but didn't appear.
Do you know whats happening?
Thank you

HI Rod,
My problem is that we don't have any hierarchies set up in the EUL and we see item hierarchy in workbook, it's impossible because we did create hierarchies.
I created a workbook with a Bussiness Area named person, for example. This Bussiness Area got a total of 10 items and the datatype of each item is different, we have number, varchar2 and date. When I drag all the 10 items in the worksheet, the items are not hierachies, but when I drag out a item, all the others items are hierarchies, suddenly. And when I put back the last item, all the items are not hierarchies. I already said that we didn't create hierachies for that Bussiness Area or any others Busness area in the EUL.
We don't know how we can have items hierachy in a workbook when we didn't create them in the EUL.
I hope you will understand more what I try to explain.
Thanks for your time.

Discoverer + Portal + Reports

For a proposal, we need to determine
if there are any issues with building portlets that display Discoverer reports/data.
A better question would be - are there any
issues with the integration of Discoverer
viewer with Portal ?
regards
-Ananth

ananth,
1.Discoverer is not SSO-compliant
2.You will need to add Discoverer as an external app.
3. You cannot share workbooks(yet)
4.Disc. user need to be Portal users => Portal users will need to be Db users
5.External apps show up in new window

Discoverer/Portal: Question for printout

Hi,
current situation: I've created different reports (crosstables) in discoverer plus and load them up in Oracle portal. I dont use the viewer because I think I found out all ways for formating ...
Now I see my reports as portlets in the portal, but user's request is - as usal - to print them out: In a good looking format and always ready for use in a presentation or picture or pdf... Currently I dont know if eg.
? 1. a portlet can be sent to the printer individually
? 2. a portlet is shown but the printout is created in the database and shwon as a link
? 3. one report should never be edited by the user, therefore it has to be a .pdf printout on format A3. In disvoverer plus, I can change the page set up to A3 but (referring to ?1.) but how to do this in portal ?
Thanks for help :-)

How to Discoverer change workbook owner?

Using:
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.1)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.48.18
Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.48.18
End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.48.18
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi
How does one change the owner of a workbook?
The problem is when a user changes their name, then there Oracle database user name changes. The user needs to keep both user names. So
the reports must be re-assigned to the new user name and given access to the old user name that has ownership of the report.
Thanks.

A) One way of doing this is to share the workbooks to the new userid and then the new userid saves th
em to the database as their own.
Ensure new userid is created with the EXACT same privileges as the old userid. The Discoverer Administrator must ensure the new userid has security to the EXACT same Business Areas and the same privileges as the old userid.
B)
1. Ensure new userid is created with the EXACT same privileges as the old userid. The Discoverer Administrator must ensure the new userid has security to the EXACT same Business Areas and the same privileges as the old userid.
2. The Discoverer Administrator must export the workbooks File - Export to an .eex file and generate an XML file.
3. The Discoverer Administrator must open the .eex file in Notepad or Wordpad and find the old userid and change manually to the new userid.
4. The Discoverer Administrator then imports File - Import the workbooks back into the EUL.
a) File -> Import
b) Add File
c) The .eex file that was just changed
d) Next
e) Step 2 here is very IMPORTANT ***" Only take ownership if original owner cannot be found "***
****CHECK THIS****
f) Start
g) Finish
5. Login with new userid into Desktop or Plus and then Open an existing workbook from the database and confirm all workbooks are there.
6. The first time you run the workbook Discoverer will prompt with 3 choices:
a) Open the workbook in the account where it was saved.
b) Open the workbook in the current database account. *** CHOOSE this one ***
c) Don't open the workbook.
*** Choose B and confirm the workbook can be seen and runs correctly. ***
