Hi,
Do you have multiple oracle homes? If this is the case, you want to make sure that the tnsname.ora file associated with the oracle home associated with the Disco Admin tool is set-up properly.
Are you logging in as the EUL owner or as an APPS user (assuming you have an APPS implementation)? There are set-ups that need to performed before this will work (which are explained in the article below....e.g. the secure file).
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article, "Questions And Guidance For Troubleshooting Common Discoverer Desktop and Administrator Connection Issues [ID 415614.1]"?

Discoverer Desktop Issues 10.1.2

Hi,
I am using Discoverer Admin and Desktop both of Verions 10.1.2
I have no issue with Admin; I could do successfully all the work here.
In Desktop i have login successfully as Application user; and created simple Order Report workbook (Order_Report.DIS) and saved it.
Again when i login as application user in desktop; When i try to open my existing workbook (Order_Report.DIS); It will prompt me
Do you want to run the query for the sheet Ord_report; Yes/No; If i select option as Yes i am getting error mesg as Failed to connect to database; If i choose No I will get empty sheet; In either case I will see empty sheet appears; From the Tool Bar if i select Sheet --> Refersh Sheet; I am able to see records in my sheet.
When i continue working on this sheet; All of sudden i get error screen as Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close
Basically i have two problems in desktop
1. When I open workbook i get error as Failed to connect to database
2. All of sudden i get vague error as Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close
I would appreicate if some one can help on this.
Thanks!!
Uday

Hi,
I have the same issue with Discoverer Plus 10g Rel 1 (10.2.0.2 )
Desktop and Administrator are working good. So, I cannot resolve it by re-installation.
Also, this is not reproducible. Sometimes it works very smoothly, but sometimes it gives error for the same report.
Any idea ?
Thanks!

/616 Add gross salary Issue

HI,
We have an issue in /616 wage type (Add Gross salary)
1. How do we calculate /616 wage type value manually?
2. /616 wage type is difference between grass salary that including arrears payment i guess. but i don't know how do we calculate manually. /616 wage type has some amount .I need to find out the break up of this value.
How do we do that and what are the wage type to be considered for /616 wage type.
3.How does the DT wage type form?
Regards,
Prasath

Ideally speaking, /616 WT contains the arrears of previous financial year that were given in current financial year (For eg DA and TA arrears of Jan to March 2010 in our case).
In my case I am getting correct values (as calculated manually) for most of the cases but for few it is giving other amounts which we are unable to trace.
Did you found the method of calculation in SAP?
Although you can remove the effect of /616 using model wagetype M89G.
Please find below the process flow of M89G series wage type:
1. Maintain relevant wage type (For example to adjust /616 use M89G and so on).
2. Maintain amount with opposite sign in the amount field.
3. Maintain the year for which you are performing the adjustment with
unit as year.
4. Maintain date of origin as current month date(any).
Save the entry and execute the payroll.

Astha

Discoverer Viewer Issue - IE7 - Parameter Popup Fails (Oracle JS issue?)

OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
I have created a report that has several parameters, each of which can be entered directly or by clicking a button to bring up a parameter selection popup. Each parameter popup displays an associated LOV.
This works great in Discoverer Plus. It also works well in the HTML-based Discoverer Viewer using IE6. It does not, however, work in IE7.
What happens:
When using IE7 with Discoverer Viewer, I access a report with parameters and then click on the "flashlight" icon to the right of a parameter field to bring up the parameter popup. IE7 then:
- Changes the cursor to an hourglass
- Displays the following in the status bar: "Done, but with errors on page."
- Stops doing anything else, leaving the cursor as an hourglass
- Popup never shows up
I assume that the cursor is stuck as an hourglass since the flashlight button must have a JavaScript "onClick" handler that executes a function to change the cursor prior to opening the new child window with the parameter LOV...and the cursor gets stuck when the JavaScript routine encounters an error. The cursor isn't my issue, but it is also annoying since my users will assume that the browser is doing something...and it is not.
Regardless, if you click the status bar message, it displays the following JavaScript error:
Line: 3609
Char: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
Oddly enough, if you then ignore the situation and click the "Go" button to run the report (using the cursor stuck as an hourglass), the report runs and as soon as it completes, the popup for the parameter THEN appears.
As I said, the issue is with IE7 only. It works fine in IE6...and I don't have the popup blocker enabled in IE7.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Steve

Hi
Yes' you're right, the compatibility is for IE8 to IE7 and it does work very well - which I know is a red herring.
I'll keep looking through my notes.
From all of my notes, IE7 is supposed to work just fine with 10.1.2.3 (your version). I've been using IE7 for quote some time and I've never seen a JS error coming up in Viewer - Plus yes and many times.
Some things I would try at this stage are:
1. Delete your Java cache
2. Make sure no popups are blocked
3. Make sure cookies are enabled
4. Try Mozilla and see if you get the same issue - will indicate if a machine issue or browser issue
Best wishes
Michael

Discoverer Migration issue - Calculation item changes

Hi All,
In the development environment, I made some changes to the Calculation item in the existing Discoverer Workbook. It works in fine in DEV. But when I try to migrate (overwriting the existing workbook) it to ST environment (by opening it in Discoverer Desktop, and saving it to the Database) , it throws the below error
'Inconsistent or invalid data types used in arithmetic operation.'
Attempt to open workbook failed'
I have also tried by exporting/importing thru Admin, but while opening in the Desktop it again throws the same error.
When I am undo the changes(one by one) what I did to the calculation item, it is still throwing the same error, even when I come to a point that the formula for the calculation item is same as before.
But when I am trying to save back the last working copy of the workbook into ST environment, it works fine.
It looks like the environment issue/tool issue(Discoverer Desktop).
We are in Discoverer 10g. Please let me know if any of you faced this problem and any suggestions to overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Gowri.

Hi Gowri,
Have you compared the item format between DEV & ST? Are they the same?
Without seeing your actual calculation, I can only guess that you may try adding "TO_NUMBER" in front of the field that is causing issues.
That has helped me in the past.
Thanks,
Janet

Discoverer printing issues

I must say, having tried to print a simple (nice looking) report in Discoverer desktop, plus, and viewer, I'm thoroughly disgusted with all 3. I've been told by Oracle to use Viewer to format and print reports, but I've run into a major bug that I'll report here (and leave desktop and plus completely out of the picture due to major problems).
I include the page item in the Title at the top of a crosstab report. When I print or export to PDF, a new crosstab displays on each page (in this case page by city, which is the page item). However, the inserted page item in the title doesn't change on each page. The first city displayed remains in the title on each page.
Why do all 3 apps print differently, with different features, with different bugs?

Hi,
Discoverer is an ad-hoc reporting tool and as such isn't designed to produce quality printed reports. The printing features in Discoverer are basic but OK if you are just interested in content rather than layout. If you want to produce quality reports you should consider using XML Publisher which can be integrated with Discoverer.

Discoverer parameter issue

I need to use the same pair of parameters for a query composed by "union all" with three independent queries.
Consider the following example:
create table docs(supplier varchar2(20), doc_date date, doc_num varchar2(10), amount number);
insert into docs values ('Alfonso', sysdate-3, 'doc00001', 100);
insert into docs values ('Alfonso', sysdate-3, 'doc00002', 20);
insert into docs values ('Alfonso', sysdate-2, 'doc00003', 50);
insert into docs values ('Alfonso', sysdate-2, 'doc00004', 10);
insert into docs values ('Alfonso', sysdate-1, 'doc00005', 80);
insert into docs values ('Alfonso', sysdate-1, 'doc00006', 20);
insert into docs values ('Alfonso', sysdate, 'doc00007', 40);
insert into docs values ('Alfonso', sysdate, 'doc00008', 50);
commit;
with calendar as (select (sysdate-3) date_from, (sysdate-1) date_to from dual)
select d.supplier, max(trunc(c.date_from)) doc_date, max('suma al '||c.date_from) document, sum(d.amount) amount
from docs d, calendar c
where d.doc_date <= c.date_from group by d.supplier
union all
select d.supplier, trunc(d.doc_date), d.doc_num, d.amount
from docs d, calendar c
where d.doc_date between c.date_from and c.date_to
union all
select d.supplier, max(trunc(c.date_to)), max('suma al '||c.date_to), sum(d.amount)
from docs d, calendar c
where d.doc_date <= c.date_to group by d.supplier;
SUPPLIER DOC_DATE DOCUMENT AMOUNT
Alfonso 15/12/09 suma al 15/12/09 120
Alfonso 16/12/09 doc00003 50
Alfonso 16/12/09 doc00004 10
Alfonso 17/12/09 doc00005 80
Alfonso 17/12/09 doc00006 20
Alfonso 17/12/09 suma al 17/12/09 280
In the example, I use the static values (sysdate-3) and (sysdate-1)... these values were that I want to pass to Discoverer
But in Discoverer, I only can use a parameter with conditions (i.e. the where clause) in a folder
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Alfonso

Hi,
Yes, the query should have a group by as shown below. Of course, you never enter a group by when you are setting up a query in a Discoverer workbook, you just add the supplier, create the calculations and condition, and add the sort order.
select supplier, max(least(:date_to, doc_date)),
max(case when doc_num 'summary' and doc_date <= :date_from then 'suma al '||:date_from
when doc_num <> 'summary' and doc_date <= :date_to doc_num
when doc_num = 'summary' then 'suma al '||:date_to
end),
sum(amount)
from supplier_folder
group by supplier
where doc_date <= :date_to
order by max(least(:date_to, doc_date))
You don't need to do the summation in the view, you can do it all in the workbook as shown above. The view/custom folder only needs to return all the records you need in the workbook, it doesn't need any group by, so it can just union all the records together as shown in my first query. You can do the summing in the workbook after the parameters have been applied, therefore the view does not need to contain any parameters or any group by.
If you really do want to put parameters in a view then you need to use session parameters, implemented by using database contexts. See the LearnDiscoverer blog for more details.

Discoverer installation issue

Hay all,
I have an error ORA - 00942 when I login into Discoverer. This is a new installation. Anyone can help me !!!
Rebecca

Do you get this error while using the Admin tool or user editon?
Since this is a new installation I would drop the EUL and recreate it. This may fix the problem. If the problem persist
you may need to check your Admin User prives. This is covered within the installation I guide I think.
Good Luck,

Discoverer Responsibility Issue

Hi All,
Can we merge two resposibilities(Operations Intelligence + ABC) in Discoverer 10g Desktop edition?
Thanks,
Zeeshan

Zeeshan,
Well, if I understand what you are wanting to do, then you will need to create a new responsibility in Oracle. You would set up this new responsibility to have the combined security access of the two existing Oracle responsibilities that you want to merge. You would then assign this new Oracle responsibility to your super users that you want to have this combined responsibility (and probably unassign the two existing responsibilities from those users). This really is not a Discoverer thing. Discoverer merely uses the existing Oracle security scheme.
Now, if you are saying that you want these super users to have this new responsibility in Discoverer, but not in Oracle applications, then you are out of luck, to the best of my knowledge. You cannot, in Discoverer, do separate Oracle applications authority (say, create a new responsibility and have it active only for Discoverer use).
If I misunderstand what you want to do, please try to give us a more detailed explanation of the current setup and what you want the new setup to be.
