Discoverer Tables in Oracle Apps

Hello All,
We have implemented Oracle Financials 11i (11.5.9) and Discoverer 4i. We have around 300 discoveror reports.Out of these we think we can amalgmate few and can make them more generic .To do that I need to go through every single report to check parameters, columns and list them.
Now my question :-
Iinstead of opening every single report manualy and list parameter/columns I am thinking to extract parameters/columns through SQL, does anyone have idea which oracle schema/table hold oracle discoverer columns/parameters etc ?
Note : I am able to track table name for discoverer table and that is
EUL4_US.EUL4_DOCUMENTS
Any suggestion/help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Dinesh

Hi Dinesh
I have some bad news for you I'm afraid. Discoverer workbooks are not stored as SQL definitions, they are stored as BLOBs within the database. It is therefore not possibly to write any sort of query to interrogate the inner workings of a workbook. The only way to do this is to open each workbook in turn and analyze it.
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news
Best wishes
Michael

  • Join between SO and AR tables in Oracle Apps 11.0.3

    Hello,
    I am new to Order Management. Can anyone please suggest join between SO Tables and Receivables tables in Oracle Apps version 11.0.3.
    I am working on an Invoicing error during Autoinvoice Import Program and I am doing workaround on this issue. This error comes for specific SO only. The error causes all invoices for a org not be imported into AR. To find out a solution for the same we run Autoinvoice into batches by Sales Order using a process of elimination to determine the offending So transaction. From these offending SO then we determine the customer for these SO's. And then find out if there are any other accounts that have relationships with the offending customer and then turn off that relationship. Then rerun Autoinvoice for that SO. Most of the time SO will be imported successfully. Can anyone please suggest what must be the issue in Autoinvoice Program as I am new this.
    Thank You.

  • How to register External table into Oracle APPS?

    hi
    can we register the External table in Oracle apps like SQL Loader?
    So if yes, please share the steps.
    Thx

    okk..
    But i mean , we create Executable with Method type SQL Loader, to register in Oracle APPS.
    SO like what would be Executable Method for External Table?
    or can we call the External table in Procedure?
    ThanxI don't know oracle APPS (and this isn't the APPS forum), but an external table is just like another table. It's created once and then used by queries to fetch data. You would reference it in your applications just the same as you would any other table.

  • Discoverer 11g and Oracle apps

    I have setup discoverer and everything is working.  When calling from oracle apps, I am getting this error:
    Could not locate or parse the .dbc file /ebs02/prod/discoverer/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_2/config/Discoverer/Discoverer_asinst_2//corpdevpl200-fin_prod.dbc corresponding to the given Oracle Applications instance.
    The problem is the double slash before the dbc file.  Where would the trailing slash come from? Any advice is appreciated.

    The issue was that the opmn.xml file had a slash at the end of the fnd_secure variable, I removed it and the double slash problem was resolved!  I did not edit the script, this was from the install. Possibly not many people have integrated 11.1.1.7 discoverer with EBS and make the call to discoverer from menu in EBS, hence this has not been reported.

  • Identify user logged in discoverer as a oracle apps user

    Hi Guys,
    I am using web based to log in to discoverer as a oracle applications user. there is a report in one responsibility related to PO. My question is, can i catch the user who is logged in (his username or user ID) to be printed on the report.
    or
    I created a report which can see the details of the requisition (req ID, line number, Requestor, Approver, Requestor Dept, PO Number, etc). My report should display only the requisitions created by the user who is logged in who will be the requestor here in this case. I cant pass requestor as the parameter. It should automatically take the user logged in as requestor and display only his requisitions on to the output.
    Help Appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How to register the Discoverer workbook in Oracle Apps 12i

    I am trying to access a workbook form the Apps side. I did all the things which I got from metalink except the last step 6. I reloginned and check but it is giving the error like
    "The webpage cannot be found ".
    Please assisst me.
    1. Create the workbook.
    2. Open the workbook in the Discoverer Desktop or Plus edition and go to
    'File->Manage Workbooks->Properties' look for the value for 'Identifier'. Save this value.
    3. Create a form function. Open the Function form and create a new function.
    Define the Form Function.
    The form function definition includes the properties listed in these tabs:
    3.1 Description tab:
    3.1.1 Function Name: BIS_[X] (use something to distinguish it from seeded functions)
    3.1.2 User Function Name: This is the name that will show in the menu
    3.1.3 Description: Add a description of the function if you want.
    3.2 Properties tab:
    3.2.1 Type: Select "SSWA plsql function"
    3.2.2 Maintenance Mode Support: Leave as "None"
    3.2.3 Context Dependence: Leave as "Responsibility"
    3.3 Form tab:
    3.3.1 Form: Leave the field blank.
    3.3.2 Application: Leave the field blank.
    3.3.3 Parameters: workbook=<(workbook identifier from step2) &PARAMETERS=sheetid~worksheet id*param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value*param_parameter name Two~Parameter Two Value*
    Eg; 'workbook=TEST_WORKBOOK&PARAMETERS=sheetid~1*' would open sheet 1 of the workbook.
    # According to the Applications Administration Edition the workbook name will also work here.
    See Expanation section below for more information on setting up parameters and changes fro Discoverer Viewer.
    3.4 Web HTML tab:
    3.4.1 HTML call : Set as OracleOasis.RunDiscoverer
    3.5 Web Host tab:
    3.5.1 Leave all fields blank.
    3.6 Region tab:
    3.6.1 Leave all fields blank.
    3.7 Save the form.
    4. Open the menu form as sysadmin.
    4.1 Search for the main menu under which you want the link to appear.
    4.2 Add the information you need such as prompt, submenu, description etc.
    4.3 Enter into the Function field the name of the function you created in step 3.
    4.4 Save the menu form.
    A message will appear saying that a concurrent program will run to regenerate the menus.
    You can cancel it if you want and do step 5 below if the menu does not appear after the concurrent program runs.
    5. Use adadmin and recompile the menu information to make the changes appear.
    6. Bounce Apache and Forms.

    Hi Hussein,
    Very much thanks to you Hussein. I gone through the doc 471303.1 and came to know that the options and values which we have to take for Launching Discoverer Report from 11i & 12i is differenet. Ohh great its working and I have a question when I am selecting the Discoverer Report function from the Apps the follwoing error is coming.
    A connection error.
    - Oracle BI Discoverer is unable to complete the connection initialization.
    - Default or specified schema containing EUL tables is inaccessible and asking for the log in details.
    Can't we go directly to the Discoverer Viewer where we can see the Worksheets without coming through the login page.
    Once again thank you Hussein.
    ABR.

  • Seeded EUL tables in Oracle Apps installation

    Hi,
    I am interested to know whether an Oracle Application (E-Business) installation comes with some set number of seeded EUL tables. Or does the number of EUL tables depend on the modules installed with E-Business?
    A related question is, when does a new EUL table get created? As you can guess I am a newbie with Discoverer but I know there are the standard tables like EUL5_Documents, EUL5_OBJs, etc.
    Thank you,
    Ellice

    Hi,
    When a Discoverer end user layer (EUL) is created, a set of tables (EUL tables) is created in a schema (the EUL owner). Application tables are then loaded into the EUL using Discoverer administrator and this results in rows being created in the EUL tables. The number of EUL tables never changes.
    The E-Business Suite comes with a Discoverer EUL (stored in .eex files) which can be loaded into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator (or using the seed command file). Loading the E-Business Suite EUL creates Business Areas and folders in the EUL allowing you to report on data in the E-Business Suite tables. You can either install all the modules or just some of them, most people just install all the modules as it is easiest.
    Hope that answers your questions.

  • Synonym required to query custom tables from Oracle Apps database

    When creating an Answers report that queries from a table owned by a custom schema (not APPS), I cannot query the table and get error. Once I add a Synonym for APPS on this table, then OBIEE works normally.
    Since OBIEE is logging in as the APPS user, are Synonyms required for all non-APPS tables/views or is there another feature of the Administrator where it can store the table alias (our typical owner of custom tables is XXFI)?

    OK, well "compare" can mean one of two things: Compare structure or compare contents. Here is a quick script to compare column structures of two tables on one database:
    (select COLUMN_NAME,
    DATA_TYPE,
    DATA_LENGTH,
    DATA_PRECISION,
    DATA_SCALE,
    NULLABLE
    from dba_Tab_columns
    where owner=:OWNR1
    and table_name = :tablename
    minus
    select COLUMN_NAME,
    DATA_TYPE,
    DATA_LENGTH,
    DATA_PRECISION,
    DATA_SCALE,
    NULLABLE
    from dba_Tab_columns
    where owner=:ownr2
    and table_name = :tablename)
    union all
    (select COLUMN_NAME,
    DATA_TYPE,
    DATA_LENGTH,
    DATA_PRECISION,
    DATA_SCALE,
    NULLABLE
    from dba_Tab_columns
    where owner=:ownr2
    and table_name = :tablename
    minus
    select COLUMN_NAME,
    DATA_TYPE,
    DATA_LENGTH,
    DATA_PRECISION,
    DATA_SCALE,
    NULLABLE
    from dba_Tab_columns
    where owner=:ownr1
    and table_name = :tablename)
    If this query returns any rows, then these indicate that there are structural differences between the tables. We do a minus in both directions to ensure that an additional column in either schema will be returned in the query.
    If you are going across dblinks to remote tables then you have to amend the "dba_tab_columns" to "sys.dba_tab_columns@yourdblink"
    If you also want to compare indexes, triggers, etc then do the same sort of thing for the associated dba_ views for those objects.
    And if you want to compare table contents, then often the fastest way is also to check minuses in both directions, if the tables are not too big:
    e.g.
    (select * from schema1.table@dblink1
    minus
    select * from schema2.table@dblink2)
    union all
    (select * from schema2.table@dblink2
    minus
    select * from schema1.table@dblink1)
    local tables, of course, simply omit the "@dblink" issues.
    There are tools to help in such things. TOAD, for example, has a pretty good schema comparison tool, and there are plenty of other options out there. But if you need to script this yourself then the logic I've shown is a good starting point.
    Cheers,

  • How to find list of master tables in oracle apps GL

    Hi Friends,
    Is there a way to find all the master tables in GL?
    Thanks
    Prasuna,

    You could run a quick query to see which tables have the most rows for GL:
    -- TABLES
      SELECT owner
           , num_rows
           , table_name
        FROM all_tables
       WHERE num_rows > 0
         AND owner = 'GL'
    ORDER BY num_rows DESC;
