Discoverer report with rollup

I am looking for a report with following scenario. can some one give some idea.
Col1 Col2 Desc count sum
ALL ALL Total of all 500 2000
ALL D1 Total for D1 50 500
ALL D2 Total for D2 80 800
C1 ALL Total for C1 for D 20 100
C1 D1 Total for C1 for D1 5 20
C1 D2 Total for C1 for D2 8 35
Apparently Col1 has more than just C1 and Col2 has more than D1 and D2.
I am using option to have multiple queries and do a union all to collect the results. Is there a more elegant way?
This can be done much better in older express technology by setting up cube.
TIA
PB

I can do this with some nifty sql/view combo. but discoverer does not like the resulting sql. I wanted to support this in discoverer so that user can do similar stuff.
Main thing that i need is to support total for all the rows and also display detail rows. Something like lOV with all,groupcol1,groupcol3,detail5, detail 9 etc. from list of values.
Thx

How to call discoverer report with parameters over http link?

Hi!
I'm using oracle application server 9.0.4 (incl. discoverer).
I have an oracle portal report where I want to call a discoverer report for each line over a http link. It is always the same discoverer report - with each line I want to pass parameters to my discoverer report.
How can I pass parameters to the report? Is there another way rather than using GET parameters?
Thanks
Markus

Hi Markus
You need to determine whether you can in fact call a Discoverer report using a URL before linking it in Portal. You need to run the report in Viewer first and then see copy the URL from the address line of the browser. Then you open another browser and paste the URL. You may well be prompted for a username and password but hopefully the correct report with the right parameters will then execute.
Assuming this works you then paste the same URL link into Portal and you should be able to get the report to run.

Discoverer report with PO_RELEASES in R12

Hi all,
I'm migrating a Discoverer report from 11i to R12. The query of the folder uses the po_releases and this join condition "and rcv_transactions.po_release_id = po_releases.po_release_id(+)". When I run the report I get the error "invalid number" but when I tried the same query but using the po_releases_all it seems to work. Is this ok? I saw that in R12 po_releases is just a synonym, is this correct? I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks in advance.
Gabriela

Thanks Hussein. Yes, I've checked the document you recomend, but the problem seems to be when I try to use po_releases, the synomy) and I don't know why it work with the _all table but not work with the synonym.

Discoverer report with parameters and functions

I am new to Discoverer. Is there a way to create a report (with parameters) of one line per customer such that the following data will be displayed for each customer?
Among the parameters is: from_date (month & year) ,to_date
The basic query gives totals for each date (month & year) for every customer.
Among the fields displayed:
1-customer_id,
2-balance until from_date,
3-total activity between from_date and to_date
I have a function to calculate the total balance until from_date, but then I cannot get the total activity on the same line. I tried using another function and I tried using a total calculation but to no success.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Discoverer Reports with Portal- Report in Memory

Hi-
I have Discover reports on a dashboard looking portal page. I use page parameters to populate the reports. The thing is, when I navigate to that page after I log in, the last report I generated on the last login is still up and the parameters dont match. The parameters default back to the 1st ones in the LOV.
Is there any way to have a blank discoverer portlet, and not have the report up when I navigate to the page, until I submit the parameters?
Also...off topic...can a simple parameter form have a LOV of values that are dynamic? A sql statement? Right now I am hardcoding them in a LOV.
Thanks!!

1. I believe the parameters will always display what was used in the last run. Is this what you're asking?
2. Yes, a LOV can be associated with a table or view no problem. The simplest way to do it is to create a complex folder in the EUL (Admin version) that has the simple SQL you want to run. For example, it might be something such as:
folder name: cust_lov
select distinct customer_name from cust_table where cust_date >= '01-JAN-2006';
Then you would associate any item in any folder to use this item (customer_name) from this folder (cust_lov) as a LOV in the EUL via Admin.
So, you're just redirecting where each existing item you associate this LOV with to go there instead for it's values.
And as you want, as the table increases with more distinct customers, so does your LOV grow.
Two suggestions - or concerns to be aware of.
a. You don't want to generate your LOV on a large, repeating table (ie: you would not use something like an order table where each customer may have 100 different orders as this will bog down the LOV retrieval. Usually, use a smaller table that only has the distinct values (so you wouldn't really have to use the distinct clause in the select as shown).
b. You should turn off the user's visibility to that LOV folder (ie: not visible to user under that folder's EUL properties), otherwise they may use it and it's not guaranteed to be perfect. Alternatively, another method that NoetixViews used to (and may well still) use was to create a business area for all this good stuff (kind of like tools business area) and then stick this kind of thing in it. Then it keeps specially written LOV folders out of a particular business area (ie: ar_folder) and is not repeated in many business areas (as you know to just use the 'tools' business area for this sort of thing).
Hope it helps.

When we are running discoverer reports with this parameters we unwantedly get the connections page of the discoverer plus which we don't want.
Went through the documentation given in this page and followed it still the issue persists, and i see couple of threads with my issue and no updates.
This excerpt is from the documentation available in the link

http://www.art2dec.com/documentation/docs/oas10g1012/linux/bi.1012/b13918/urlstart.htm
and Here is what we use to invoke our reports.

Request the forum users from PRO discoverer group to help me out of this issue and expect a good discussion on this.
Thanks in advance

With one condition included my discoverer report is taking hours to run

Hi,
I am trying to build a discoverer report based on a view and i have defined couple of conditions as per the business requirement. Here is my view which is executing fine from database and at discoverer level.
Now the requirement is to get the details with conditions
1. Application_date is not equal to apply date
2. Applied_amount>0
parameters should be
Application_date low and high
The report is successfully executing when i use condition1 that is application_date<>apply date with parameters mentioned.
But when i define second condition at report level that applied_amount>0, its taking hours to run.
Please advise me the way to use this condition2 so that it should be executed in normal time.
Thanks,
Prathyusha.

Hi Srini,hussein,
Thanks so much.
Yes srini that is related to my post. I have tried all the options to make that condition workout. But hard luck i could nt able to make this work out.
Im still wondered my query is successfully getting executed in database fine and when i give any condition on applied amount its taking hours to run from discoverer desktop and i dont find it executed anytime till now.
I am not sure about enabling this trace option as i reviewed the ID's suggested by you and seems that all needs to be done with the help of DBA. But i dont have that much time to make this workout. This is an immediate business requirement and i have never seen this problem anytime with discoverer desktop.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Prathyusha.

Discoverer Custom SQL Report with Group By,Having

Hi all,
I'm working with Discoverer 4.1.41.05 and retrieve data from Oracle HRMS.
I want to create a report based on a custom SQL Folder in Discoverer Administration to solve the following scenario:
SELECT EMPLOYEE_NUMBER FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F
MINUS
SELECT EMPLOYEE_NUMBER FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F,PER_EVENTS, PER_BOOKINGS
GROUP BY EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
HAVING SUM(PER_EVENTS.ATTRIBUTE1) >= 10)
The problem is when I run the sql from SQL*Plus is working fine producing the correct result.
When I create the Custom Folder and create a Discoverer report based on it I retrieve all employees since the second select statement retrieve no rows!
Does anyone has any idea how I can solve this problem or if there is another way to create this scenario?
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
Elena

Hi Elena,
I think you are missing some joins, you could try something like:
SELECT EMPLOYEE_NUMBER FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F p
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT NULL
FROM PER_EVENTS e, PER_BOOKINGS b
WHERE b.person_id = p.person_id
AND e.event_id = b.event_id
GROUP BY b.person_id
HAVING SUM(e.ATTRIBUTE1) >= 10)

Discoverer Viewer Report with Page Items Slow Performance

I created a report in Discoverer User that has page items and parameters and runs fine (under 3 minutes) in Discoverer User, but when I try and run it in Discoverer Viewer it takes a long time. It took over 70 minutes before manually terminating it. I made a copy of the report and removed the page items and tried to run it again in Discoverer Viewer and now the report runs in under 3 minutes. Any idea why a report with page items would run in Discoverer user fine, but not discoverer viewer?
I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)

As long as you can access the middle-tier server where Discoverer Viewer is running, you should be able to run and view Discoverer worksheets.
While it is difficult to even start guessing what the problem might be, if the machine you installed Discoverer on has DHCP addressing, you will run into problems.
Thanks

Invocation report (Discoverer Viewer) with parameters from an application

Hi everyone,
I'm proving report in Discoverer Viewer invoking them from an application, which sends parameters to him.
I cannot obtain, that they directly execute when doing click in the URL of execution with its parameters, but that opens the screen where it requests to enter the parameters, without assigning those that they are arriving to him in the URL.
I verified if the problem were in the name of the parameters and apparently it takes the values from such by the order in which they arrive.
Also I verified that the values of parameters are arriving correctly from the application.
Somebody can help me with this?
Thank you very much
Ana

Hi,
I could resolve the problem.
The creation parameters in discoverer reports is case sensitive with the parameters that arrive from an application.
Anyway, thank you

How Discoverer Reports cope with table name changes

I want to change the name of an oracle table that is queried by a number of Discoverer reports owned by various users.
I have been told that Discoverer might have the smarts to handle this without manual intervention of users having to open their reports and repoint them to the new tablename. Would someone be able to enlighten me?

Thanks Guys for help.
Additionally I'd like to add for the purpose of the name change is business driven and therefore it is important that business (report writers) see the new name so.....
For each simple folder in the EUL there are there 3 attributes you need to be aware of:
(1) Folder Name (the name as seen in Discoverer)
(2) Identifier
(3) Physical Database Object name
(1) and (2) are used by a Disco workbook to resolve back to the physical object name.
Therefore, you can change either (1) or (2) [but not both] and still have the workbook resolving back to the physical object name on the folder (ie (3)).
In summation, I changed (1) and (3) while leaving (2) unchanged to resolve the whole glorious mess....

Open Pages from Discoverer Report

Hi,
Is there a way to invoke a webpage or even better, an oracle function (that links to forms or self-service) from a discoverer report row ?
for example, I want a report for employees where the person looking at the report will click on the employee name and is taken straight to the person details page for that employee.
Regards.

Hi,
You can create a link to a form function using fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url. You can create a calculation either in a view or using a calculated item in the EUL (you will have to map the get_run_function_url in the EUL to do this). You then set the content type property of the EUL item to FILE so that when the item is selected in the workbook it appears as a hyperlink.
Most forms in apps except parameters so that you can pass the employee id to the form and the form will open up with the employee record. For example, if you are using a seed HR person form you create a calculation,
fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url(3494      -- PERWSHRG-404
                                     ,800       -- HR
                                     ,fnd_global.RESP_ID     -- caller's responsibility
                                     ,0        -- Business Group
                                     ,         -- Parameters
     'P_PERSON_ID='||TO_CHAR(person_id, 'fm9999999999999')||
     ' P_EFFECTIVE_DATE='||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD'))Rod West
