Invoking a Discoverer Report from a web page written in JSP

Hi,
We are using Discoverer 10.1.2 against a relational database. We are not using the OLAP option.
I have a requirement wherein users would like link to a Discoverer Report from a web application which is not deployed in Oracle Portal. So Discoverer portlets are not the solution.
I basically need to be able to provide the Report URL in the JSP page.
Has anybody done this ? Can you please provide some pointers towards how to generate the Discoverer report URL to invoke the report from a JSP ?
Thanks
Manav

Discoverer URL parameters can be found here in the Configuration Guide here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13918_03/urlstart.htm#sthref888
Note, that you cannot pass the password in the URL (security restriction) so you will need to use Public or Private connections and pass the connection ID or use an HTML form to build the URL using the POST method.
Or, you can fill in the desired fields and let the user enter their username/pwd.
Hope that helps get you started.
Regards,
Steve.

Unable to run the Discoverer Report from Apps

Hi,
Can anyone guide me how to run Discoverer Report from Apps.

Hi,
Take a look in metalink Note:278095.1
Beside that define the ICX profiles correctly.

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.
Regards & Thanks,
P. Gayathri Devi

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.

Calling discoverer report from Oracle report

Hi
I need to call a discoverer report from an Oracle report.
Could someone pls let me know how you did it?
Thanks.

If the Oracle Discoverer Report is accessible by an URL then yes. It will be similar to calling Oracle Reports. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html

Passing Parameters to Discoverer report from ORacle Forms

Hi All,
Can I pass a value to a parameter defined in the discoverer page from a D2k form? I want to call a discovere page from fmb while passing a parameter.
This is extremely urgent for me. Pl help .
Thank you and Regards,
Vaibhav M. Shah.

Hi ,
Are you saying I should create a new workbook that is not based on my custom folder for setting and showing the context value? You don't need to create a new workbook, you can just create a new worksheet in your report workbook, but you will need two sheets to use contexts. The sheet that sets the contexts should not be based on your custom folder, but on a folder that returns a single row. You cannot set and check contexts in a single SQL statement, so you have to have 2 worksheets.
You can default the contexts using a trigger or initialisation SQL so that the user only has to set the contexts if they are not using the defaults.

Launching a Discoverer report from jsp page

Hi
I have a discoverer workbook created using BI Discoverer (for relational). I want to accept some parameters for this workbook from a jsp page, which will also have a "View report" button. This button when pressed should open up the Discoverer workbook and all the parameters from the jsp should be passed to the workbook.
Is it possible? If yes, any details on it?
We do the same thing successfully to launch Oracle Reports from jsps, we simply build the url in the jsp, and from jsp we submit it to a new window, and it opens up the report. Similar functionality we are looking to launch Discoverer reports.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Shalu

You can open the workbook with URL parameters with Discoverer Viewer much like you would Oracle Reports. Setting anything form the username, password, workbook name, worksheet, and parameters. All the information can be found in the following document:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/bi.1012/b13918/urlstart.htm
The specific question your asking is addressed under 13.5.2 Example 2. Let me know if you have any issues

Invoking Discoverer Report from Zoom Menu Option

HI there
I've seen this on client site but never done it myself. Does anyone have any documentation or guidance on how to set up a form personalization so that the zoom menu option on a form links to a discoverer report, potentially passing parameter values to limit the data? Can forget the parameter side if it's complicated for now as we don't have any full requirements.
Many thanks for any help
Cheers, Kate

Hi
Zoom functionality is very simple just follow the bellow steps
• Enter the Form Personalization form. (M) Help > Diagnostics > Custom Code > Personalize.
• Rule Seq: 10
• Description: Create Menu Item
• Trigger Event: WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
• Context: User and set the value to your user name (don't forget to do this for every Rule you define)
• Select the Actions tab
• Actions Seq: 10
• Type: Menu
• Menu Entry: SPECIAL31
• Menu Label: Discoverer Report
• Rule Seq: 30
• Description: Open Discoverer Report
• Trigger Event: SPECIAL31
• Context: User and set the value to your user name
• Actions Seq: 10
• Type: Builtin
• Builtin Type: Launch a Function
• Function Code: XXX---Function name
• Function Name: wil be defaulted from the code
• Save your work and exit all the forms.
Try it out!!!

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".

Call DISCOVERER Report From a 6i or 9i Form

Is is possible to call a Discoverer report directly from a 6i form? How about from a 9i form?
I know calling an Oracle Reports (.rdf) is possible; my focus is on Discoverer.
Thanks

How to get the execution time of a Discoverer Report from qpp_stats table

Hello
by reading some threads on this forum I became aware of the information stored in eul5_qpp_stats table. I would like to know if I can use this table to determine the execution time of a worksheet. In particular it looks like the field qs_act_elap_time stores the actual elapsed time of each execution of specific worksheet: am I correct? If so, how is this value computed? What's the unit of measure? I assume it's seconds, but then I've seen that sometimes I get numbers with decimals.
For example I ran a worksheet and it took more than an hour to run, and the value I get in the qs_act_elap_time column is 2218.313.
Assuming the unit of measure was seconds than it would mean approx 37 mins. Is that the actual execution time of the query on the database? I guess the actual execution time on my Discoverer client was longer since some calculations were performed at the client level and not on the database.
I would really appreciate if you could shed some light on this topic.
Thanks and regards
Giovanni

Thanks a lot Rod for your prompt reply.
I agree with you about the accuracy of the data. Are you aware of any other way to track the execution times of Discoverer reports?
Thanks
Giovanni
