Discoverer Report export

Hello,
Is it possible to change the discoverer report default export path destination?
Thank you
Sarah

Hi,
Kindly refer to MOS [ID 438598.1] "How To Change The Default Export Location For Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2)"
and "How to Change The Default Export Path For Discoverer Plus 10.1.2 [ID 365245.1]"
basically they explain the you can change the path in the pref.txt file and this is for all the discoverer users.
Also you can workaround it by following these steps:
1. Navigate to Control Panel >> Java >> Java tab >> Java Runtime environment settings >> View button
2. Set the run-time setting to be added in the "Runtime-Parameter" section
-Duser.home="c:\Documents and Settings\<should be change to real Windows user name>\Desktop"

Oracle 10g Discoverer Reports & export to xls fails for large reports

Hi ,
We have following configurations:
1: RHEL 5.4
2: Discoverer :Version 10.1.2.48.18
3: Oracle10g Apps Version : Version 10.1.2.0.2
Issue:
Most of small reports works fine ....but when large discoverer reports are executed the page
keeps on refreshing for 15-20 hours but no output ....same for export to xls ......
But same reports works fine in oracle9i for same data voulme....
Observations:
When on linux with top command the processes are monitored its observed that discoverer process
dis51ws dies for large reports after 1-2 minutes ...& the page keeps on refreshing but no output....
for 1-2 minutes it consumes 50-80% cpu utilisation then process disappears & cpu 80% idle ...
It seems that as 10g Apps is installed on RHEL 5.4 ...non certfified OS causing an issue...
Can any one adds more inputs in this regards......
we have checked logs : below are log details :
Below logs gives "Logkeys: exceptions discoiv.servlet_exceptions" for this report ...

Regards,

Hi ,
as per Note: 466697.1 ....its an memory error....& need to increase MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem
But we already have slowly increased MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem to below very high values ...but the issue remains same.......
as per note we are getting Logkeys: exceptions discoiv.servlet_exceptions error but
after that we are not getting below error ............
Unexpected error in state machine: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
Hence I presume that its different issue rather than memmory....
Below are pref.txt values..........
CacheFlushPercentage          = 25          # Percent of cache flushed if the cache is full. valid values 0 - 100%.
MaxVirtualDiskMem          = 9294967296     # Maximum amount of disk memory allowed for the data cache. Should be greater than or equal to MaxVirtualHeapMem
MaxVirtualHeapMem          = 4294967296     # Maximum amount of heap memory allowed for the data cache.
QueryBehavior = 0          # Action to take after opening a workbook (0 = Run Query Automatically, 1 = Don't Run Query, 2 = Ask for Confirmation)
Also we have raised an SR & as per SR .............all below settings are tried as per SR except for applying a recent patch....
====================================================================
Discoverer performance is largely determined by how well the database
has been designed and tuned for queries.
A well-designed database will perform significantly better than a poorly
designed database.
Workbook design can also affect query performance.
1. Apply latest Discoverer patch as documented in <<Note:237607.1>>
'ALERT: Required and Recommended Patch Levels For All Discoverer Version'.
2. Increase the maximum JVM heap memory:
In general, the default values for the minimum heap (-Xms) memory and
maximum heap (-Xmx) memory are sufficient.
However, if your organization consistently runs large Discoverer queries
then you may benefit from increasing the maximum heap memory from the
default values.
This is recomended if your users are typically running large queries via
Discoverer Viewer.
Increasing the JVM memory can help to avoid "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"
in Discoverer Viewer:
Please see <<Note 563960.1>>, Best Practice: Configuring The
OC4J_BI_Forms JVM For
Discoverer Viewer/Portlet 10g Performance And Stability for specific
details.
3. Disable Query Prediction:
Query Prediction provides an estimate of the time required to retrieve
the information in a query.
The Query Prediction appears before the query and consumes time.
Edit the <oracle_home>/discoverer/util/pref.txt on the middle-tier
server and set:
QPPEnable=0
Also set:
QPPObtainCostMethod = 0
4. Uncheck the 'Enable fantrap detection' checkbox.
When the box is checked, every query generated by Discoverer is
interrogated. Discoverer will detect a fan trap and rewrite the query to
ensure that the aggregation is done at the correct level.
Please refer to <<Note:210553.1>>, Oracle BI Discoverer: Fan Trap
Resolution - Correct Results
Everytime for more information on fantraps.
To disable, in Plus go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Fan Trap
settings.
In Viewer go to Preferences and uncheck the box.
5. Disable Materialized Views/Summaries
In pref.txt add parameter:
MaterializedViewRedirectionBehavior = 0
Value equal to 0 ensures that Materialized View (MV) Redirection is
always performed when MVs are available.
6. Improve query performance by optimizing the SQL.
In pref.txt modify/add following parameters:
SQLFlatten = 0
SQLItemTrim = 0
SQLJoinTrim = 0
UseOptimizerHints = 0
If value of SQLFlatten is 1 then Discoverer will merge inline views in
the query SQL where ever possible.
In case of SQLItemTrim, Discoverer will remove unused folder items from
the query SQL where possible and for SQLJoinTrim Discoverer will remove
unnecessary joins from the query where possible.
UseOptimizerHints will add Optimizer hints to SQL if set >
0.Unnecessarily making Discoverer perform these checks consumes
resources and rather than increasing the performance may reduce the same. So unless you feel these checks have to be performed depending on
requirements, assign zero to these parameters.
7. When Discoverer builds a query, Discoverer makes a database security
check to confirm that the user has access to the tables referenced in
the folders. Avoiding this check can save time.
So in pref.txt underDatabase section add:
ObjectsAlwaysAccessible = 1
8. Whenever you are creating conditions, ensure that you match the Case.
This in turn can reduce the time Discoverer spends on changing the Case
and matching.
For example:
option Upper(Department) in (Upper('VIDEO SALES')
9. Ensure that summaries are refreshed periodically in Discoverer
Administrator.
10. Increase the amount of memory available for the Discoverer data cache. Please refer to <<Note 245752.1>>, Explaining Oracle BI Discoverer
Session Memory Management
And Server Cache Settings.
11. Performance may be enhanced by enabling OracleAS Web Cache.

Thanks for your reply....................

Automate dynamically selected Discoverer report Export/Import

hello,
I have a situation where in I need to export newly created reports and import them back again after cloning.
eg: user will create report in dev1 instance. This instance will get daily refreshed from prod. But we do not want to loose these reports after cloning of DEV1.
Query that we wil use to select reports is :-
select *
from eul5_documents
where doc_created_Date between (sysdate -1) and sysdate;
This is daily activity and hence has tobe automated.
Quick reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
In theory, your idea is sound. However, if your have any sharing of reports then these could be lost using your method as you will lose any that have been shared today.
Why don't you use Discoverer's in-built export | import capabilities via the Admin tool? This way you can be guaranteed to get everything right. You could use your SQL to detect workbooks that have been created during the day and then take those names and use the Admin tool to export them. Following the refresh from Production you could then import them.
Best wishes
Michael

Regarding Issue when Exporting the Output of the Discoverer Report to Excel

Hi,
Can Any of you guys help me out in this issue. I am exporting the Discoverer Report Output to Excel sheet, I am able to export but while I am opening the excel sheet I am getting an error saying "UNABLE TO READ FILE".
Please help me out in this Issue, it is so urgent.
Thanks in Advance..
Raja.

Hi,
Is there any way to export the output of scheduled Discoverer Reports to a particular server using Discoverer plus.Only by openning and exporting each report manually.
is there any way to get the output name in a particular syntax. I want to concatenate date in the output name.Only by entering the filename when you do the export.
The best way to do this is to use Discoverer Desktop and a third party scheduler. Then you can export all your reports automatically and define the filename used in the output. Search this forum for more information on third party schedulers.

How to export a Discoverer report in 4i

Hi,
I have a discoverer report in production PROD .I want to test the report in TEST instance but the report doesn't exist in TEST instance.Now,I want to export that report from PROD and want to deploy that report in TEST instance.
I worked on Discoverer 10g ,when we export it will ask for business areas,folders,Item classes and so on.But in 4i when I am trying to export ,it is prompting a window to save as a file.
Can anyone tell me how to export the reports in 4i.
Appreciate you help !!
Veejay

Hi,
In Discoverer 4i the workbook export is only available from the command line. Therefore you will have to use dis41adm.exe to export the workbooks into a .eex file.

Exporting discoverer report into pdf

Dear All,
I am having a requirement, when I am export discoverer report to pdf it has to display all column in one page but now I am getting 4 columns in one page next columns are displaying in next page. Total I am having 20 columns how can I display all column in pdf.
Please anyone help me
Thanks in advance

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with your directly.
Is there a reason why you need that much data in a one report? It will take a long time to load or browse around. I suggest you make these reports smaller for your users.

Error while running the Discoverer report from the command line.

Hi All,
I've to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls/html on to my local machine. This report I've to run it as batch and scheduled it.
I have a parameterized worksheet and this has to be run from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for. I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
dis51usr /connect user/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" '40351' /parameter "From Date" '05-MAY-2008' /parameter "To Date" '06-MAY-2008' /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStOutputinHTML123"
I even added the TO_DATE conversion for the parameters and also gave the format of the date as 'DD_MON_YYYY'.
Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Please anyone reply me.

Hi Gayathri,
Try changing your parameter names to be a single word. (Change "Test Number" to Test_Number).
Does the report run fine when run through Desktop for the same parameter values? Which version of Discoverer are you using?
Thanks.

Unable to run discoverer report from command prompt

Hi,
I'm trying to run the discoverer report from command prompt and i need to schedule the same.
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters?
If i don't pass the optional parameters, the parameter screen is getting pop-up? How to skip optional parameters?
Also, how to pass the data ranges (format for date parameters) ?
I'm using the below command in command prompt:
cd/d E:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin
dis51usr /connect username/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" 40351 /parameter "From Date" "01-JAN-2007" /parameter "To Date" "28-FEB-2007" /parameter "Observation Status" C /parameter "Observation Name" "Abdominal Girth" /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStatusOutput11"
Any one please reply me. Its very urgent.
Regards,
Sreedhar

Hi,
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters? You should be able to use a comma separated list e.g.
/parameter "Observation Name" "'Abdominal Girth','Abdominal Girth2'"
How to skip optional parameters?I don't think you can. You have to supply all parameters and then decode out the parameters you don't need in the workbook.
how to pass the data ranges You cannot pass a date range. You can pass a start and end parameters. The default format for the date parameters is DD-MON-YYYY but this can change depending on the NLS settings and format of the data item.

Deleting Discoverer report from Admin

Hi,
We have exported a discoverer report using Admin from a database D1.
Then imported that report using admin in another database D2.
But i couldn't see the report in the desktop of database D2....don't know why....
Can anybody sugggest a way to delete this report from Admin of database D2 ?
Thank you

Thanks for the reply.
Actually we were not able to see the report in the desktop though we tried in different ways.
So we did the following to delete the report from Admin using command prompt as follows
dis4adm.exe /connect <eulowner>/<eulowner password>@<database> /delete /workbook "<workbook name>"
where "<workbook name>" is either "EUL Data Definition" or "Query Statistics".

Discoverer report showing wrong output

Hi all
We have made a discoverer report called Generic Employee list which is having 37202 records. But in the front end it is showing only 7001 records.
I have checked that query in toad there i am getting 37202 records and i checked in discoverer desktop there it shows 37202 but when iam exporting it to Excel or CSV file it has only 10054 records.
Its urgent. Kindly advise on the same.
Thanks & Regards
Nakshathra

Hi Nakshathra,
Go to Tools --> Options --> Query Governer, uncheck the Limit Retrived data Query, some times it will set to default 10000 records else manually you can set the limitation.
I hope this helps you.
Cheers,

Discoverer report is taking a very long time

Hi All,
I need help on below discoverer issue.
discoverer report is taking a very long time for rows to be retrieved on export when it is run for India and it is required for month end. For some reason only 250 rows are retrieved at a time and retrieval is slow so it is taking 10 minutes to bring back 10,000 rows.
Regards
Kumar

Please post the details of the application release, database version and OS along with the discoverer version.

Discoverer Report - Multiple instance migration

Hi
We are using Discoverer 4i reports. We are using 5 Test instances. Say
DEV,DEV1,CRP1,CRP2,CRP3.
We are doing development in DEV instance and we want to migrate the same report to DEV1 instance. We needs to recreate the same report in DEV1 Instance. It is time taking and double efforts need.
We have tried below ways, but we have failed in some cases
1. Taking *.dis file and save in different database
2. Taking the export of BA and import in another instances.
Is there any software available in the market to migrate discoverer report between instances. ( Ex like Kintana for Ebusiness suite migration).
It will be helpful for me, if you have any ideas/comments/suggestion to overthis instance report migration problem.
Thanks in advance.
Navas

Hey Navas.
This seems to be something many companies wrestle with. A recent client I was at had a similar situation but absolutely, didn't want any exports / imports of the BA and all had to be manually coded in each.
Reason for this was that you had to write up detailed explanations on what you did so it could be manually copied into PROD by the DBAs and therefore, no export / import (with the exception of you didn't recreate the file system saved report obviously).
Also, I can attest (and have commented on this before), Disco 4 has seemed 'challenged' to me in the past and an export / import from one v4 EUL to another v4 EUL sometimes doesn't work exactly the same (ie: a file system saved workbook in one EUL doesn't work in a newly exported / imported BA in the other EUL. With different EULs it appears that when people make changes to each, and delete their changes, it can cause problems (ie: ids being renamed to _1, etc.) which just makes life difficult.
This is why for non-PROD instances, more times than not you just refresh the entire EUL to either your PROD instance (and apply changes you're working on again) or harmonize all test instances.

Discoverer Reporting Solution for Multiple Databases

I have to build oracle discoverer reports (single point of access) for four different applications. Each application is having separate databases. So whether i should create separate EULs for each applications (in respective databases) or Should i create a single EUL in any one of the databases and then use db links to connect rermaining databases (for reports from the other applications).
Can u suggest me which method will work good if you see the performace?. I need a dingle point of access for all the discoverer reports.
The worksheets need to be deployed with oracle portal for access of reports in a single click. Is there any way to pre configure the db credentila for each worksheet...?

Hi
My replies below make the assumption that you are not allowed to do any ETL and therefore the data from each database has to be pulled as is. If you do have ETL capability the situation changes dramatically.
In addition to what Sharon has said the cost based optimiizer will have a difficult job rewriting your query efficiently if you use database links, and if you attempt to have queries with some tables from one database and some from another the optimizer will not work at all. I mean. How could it? How could the optimzier in database A know anything about the statistics in databases B, C or D? Wherever the EUL is, that is where the driving optimizer will be so choose wisely obi-wan :-)
For me it's more about user needs than IT needs. If the business has a need to combine data from multiple databases then having a single EUL with database links would be a necessity. However, if they really are disparate systems with nothing in common such as say having Peoplesoft HR in one and E-Busines Suite Inventory in another with perhaps an in-house tracking system in another then I would look at having separate EULs, one in each.
Having one EUL across non-related systems means you have to mix users and roles and can be hard to manage. It actually becomes messy when just two databases are involved never mind four. So even though you might think it is more difficult to maintain 4 EULs, if the objects really are different and you have differing roles and usernames it actually will probably be simpler. They will be simpler to backup, simpler for exporting and importing and it will be faster for Discoverer to maintain workbooks as there will be fewer of them. Plus your system will have access to its local optimzier thereby ensuring the SQL is efficient.
If you are going to use one EUL you need to start out on a sound foundation. This means using libraries to control access too business areas and workbooks. You'll need to adopt some simple naming standards to keep things separate and manageable. I wrote a paper about libraries a few years ago and it is available free of change here on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm. The paper is called Discoverer Libraries - a Concept.

Modify existing query in Discoverer Report

Hi,
1) I want to put an outer join to the existing discoverer work sheet query. Is there any way I could do it.
2) I am trying to modify the query by Export and Import options in the Discoverer Desktop and I am getting the below error. All I did was added (+) in the existing query
Error: No EUL folders based on table AR_LOOKUPS found.
was there any thing I am missing here?
Thank you,
Prashanth

There seems to be a little confusion in the details mentioned.
First check on which folder, Business Area is the report based on. Then is that folder a Sql folder or a table/view ?
Then in the source you may have to change the code add outer joins etc., Not in the Discoverer Report.
From what I think is export/import does not work in this scenario.

Discoverer 9i: Export data to PDF gives internal error

Hi there!
In discoverer 9.0.2.39.01 (desktop edition), EUL 5.0.0.0.0.0 the export data option
to PDF gives the following error:
Internal Error in generating report Export failed.
In MetaLink you can find bug 780474 for Discoverer 3! It seems to be the same bug?!
If there is a workaround please send a hint to the list.
Anybody out there who can give me a hint?
Best regards!

Hi there!
Here is the solution:
I have five Oracle Homes on my PC, because I am testing new releases of
Oracle software (e.g. Discoverer 9.0.2).
The database connect is well defined in the tnsnames.ora in the oracle home
for 9i tools but not defined in the oracle home for 6i Tools (a newbie error
- annoyingly, but there is no qualified error message from Discoverer ...).
So Reports (6i!) is not able to connect to the target database. But if you
wish to export to PDF you need reports 6i.
Thanks again!
Best regards!
Henrik
