Discoverer upgrade to 10g

Hi,
Please assist me with some of the ff issues I experienced post my upgrade to discoverer 10g from discoverer vs 3.1.
1. The icons get greyed out after a while with working on discoverer plus. Any ideas why this happens and what is the fix?
2. Is there any way I can default the users e-mail address to the user logged in in discoverer viewer when they click on the "send as e-mail" option? Currently the user has to type in his mail address and recipient and cc's.
3. I believe the File Save as and File Send as functions are no longer available in discoverer plus 10g. Hence the user cannot save a file to the file system. Is there any word on this coming back sooooon or not at all?
4. One user at my User test requested for batch scheduling of workbooks and exporting these scheduled workbooks to a specific directory that is accesible to multi users. He requires this to be done using the comand prompt. Please assist with the details on how to do this?
Many thanks
Saliha Mohammed

Hi Saliha
Which version of 10g are you talking about? Are you referring to 10g R1 (9.0.4) or 10g R2 (10.1.2)?
With regards to your icons being grayed out this is an indication that you are out of memory on either the client or the server. Even though Plus and Viewer are web-based applications, the amount of memory available on the client does make a significant difference. I used to say that 512 Mb was needed but I have personally come across performance issues at a client whose machines have that amount of memory. My own laptop, which has 2Gb of RAM has no such issues. I will therefore be recommending a minimum of 1Gb from now on with an optimum of 2Gb. If you can possibly afford it, your new Plus machines should have at least 1Gb and be capable of being expanded to 2Gb should the need arise. Of course, if you can get 2Gb to begin with you will have far fewer issues.
With regards to the batch scheduling of workbooks and exporting these scheduled workbooks to a specific directory you need to use a third-party scheduler along with Discoverer's command-line utility. My new Discoverer 10g Handbook describes this in great detail on pages 495 to 509, which as you will appreciate is far too much detail to post here.
Best wishes

Discoverer Viewer/Plus 10g after a migration from Discoverer 4i

Hi, I upgrated Discoverer4i to Discoverer 10g with Ebusiness Suite 11i ( 11.5.9) without installin AS 10g
I followed the note: http://oracle-magic.blogspot.com/2006/11/upgrading-discoverer-4i-to-10g-on-apps.html
If I use Discoverer Administrator and Desktop it works perfectly (I connect as an Oracle Application User)
Now, I want to see my reports with Discoverer Viewer/Plus but I don't understand how to do it (always connecting with an Oracle Application user).
My previous URL (with Discoverer4i) was: http://gnvdev.ote.gr:8025/discoverer4i/viewer
Now, after the Discoverer 10g installation I can connect to the "Welcome to Oracle Business Intelligence 10g (10.1.2)" page with the following URL:http://gnvdev.ote.gr:7779/
I didn't understand how Ebusiness Suite 11i ( 11.5.9) can communicate with Discoverer 10g in order to see reports from the web
Can anyone help to understand where and how I should modify anything in order to see my reports with Discoverer Viewer or Plus
Thank you
Alex

If you have followed all the steps in "Note: 313418.1 - Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i" then you should be able to access Discoverer Plus/Viewer through the following links:
Discoverer Plus:
http://gnvdev.ote.gr:7779//discoverer/plus
Discoverer Viewer:
http://gnvdev.ote.gr:7779//discoverer/viewer
The above links will prompt for some input, all what you need to provide is:
- Applications Username
- Applications Password
- Database (SID)

9iAS Upgrade to 10g AS

I am currently supporting a 9iAS installation as an Administrator. Currently, we are running 9.0.2.0.1 Infrastructure with Business Intelligence Mid Tier (Reports and Forms only).
I've read where support for 9iAS is going away in June, 2005 (?). I've spoken with my management and they would like me to investigate an upgrade to 10g. I've seen where 10g reports and Forms are NOT available yet for 10.1.0.2, so I believe that I can only upgrade to 10g (9.0.4).
Anyone done this upgrade yet?
Thanks,
Mark

Keith,
You have a good hunch. As I see it, depending on install types of your current AS config, in some cases a straight-forward path does not exist.
For portal, reports and discoverer apps, using BI&F, a configuration including 10.1.2 would be much different: Portal + adding BI Discoverer + standalone Reports 9.0.4 (adding full BI&F Reports to 10.1.2 Infra is not supported according to Upgrade and Compatibility Guide).
How much harder is this kind of migration? Is it documented? Does migration assistant even support it?
Then moving back to complete setup when 10.1.x supports full BI and Forms.
Perhaps new release is just too "new"...

Oracle Upgrade from 10g to 11g [BRANCHED BY MODERATOR]

Hi Deepak/Folks,
Another question that I have is that while doing the Oracle Upgrade on an EP server, the patches were not installed properly and I had to shut down the Patches installation after it did not do anything for a while.
Now when I try to install the patches it fails telling me that the Installed patches cannot be verified, I had written to SAP and they told me to follow the
SAP note 1862446 - Inventory
load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home
and re-create the oracle inventory.
This has also not helped in anyway.
Is there a solution to this problem.
Following is the error that I am getting when I try to Install the patches

After Upgrade OBI 10g to 11g:Odbc driver returned an error - SQLExecDirectW

Hi all,
for an OBI upgrade from 10g to 11g I used a RPD and Webcatalog based on a remote machine other than my local machine. Firstable I am making the tests on a Linux Virtual machine, which uses the Sample Lite version from Oracle.
I made the following steps:
1. I upgraded the RPD and Webcatalog. It worked without any errors.
2. I set the static variable BI_EE_HOME via Administration Tool to the path in the Linux machine.
--> Here I am not sure if the set path is correct. It begins with: \bi\ ...\instances\...\coreapplication_obis1 (... : I can't mention here the whole path name).
--> When the OBI Server is installed in Windows, the mentioned static variable points to something like 'C:\<install folder>\...\coreapplication_obis1'
--> Question: is the begin of my set path correct?. I set that pointing to the Linux OBI Server, because the OBI Server is installed on Linux.
Problem:
After login as the user in RPD: Administrator/<Password for my upgraded RPD> I can see the links in the Catalog and the Dashboards links. But I can not see any values, any Reports when going through the links.
For example when trying to see a Dashboard with date 12.02.2011it happens:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Status: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] general error.
[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.
[nQSError: 43119] Query Failed:
[nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
at OCI call OCIServerAttach.
[nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" saw_0 FROM "Accounting (ACC)" WHERE "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" LIKE 'J%' ORDER BY saw_0
I think its not retrieving the data from the remote database, because I don't have the data of the remote database in my local. I think the OBI Server still is pointing to the local virtual machine Oracle database.
Can anybody tell me what happens here and how can I solve this problem?.
I would appreciate any help....

Hi gerardnico,
I've tried many things and did as in your articles, but I don't have success with that.
These are the things I did:
1. I searched for the file tnsnames.ora in my Linux virtual machine. I could find it in many paths:
/.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/hs/admin/tnsnames.ora.sample
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/temp/tnsnames.ora
/.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
in the last path I found the listener.ora as well.
2. I took the tnsnames.ora from the last path, because the ORACLE_HOME points to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
3. I edited the tnsnames.ora this way:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_of_the_remote_machine)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = database_name_of_the_remote_machine)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = database_SID_of_the_remote_machine)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
4. I made a backup of the tnsnames.ora in path /.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
and copied the tnsnames.ora from /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin to the Oracle_BI1 path
5. I set the TNS_ADMIN to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
6. I restarted the BI Server
No success in what I did. The error is still there.
7. I've tried also: sqlplus database_user_remote_machine/database_password_remote_machine@database_SID_remote_machine
I didn't get the connection:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Jun 16 04:36:10 2011

What am I doing wrong here?. I am still thinking that I need the import of the database.
Additional SID=Service-Name=Database-name in the remote machine.

Requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g on Windows to OBIEE 11g on Linux

Dear All,
I have a requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g from current windows 2003 environment to OBIEE 11g Linux environment.
I went through forums and many threads on upgrade, everywhere they talk about Upgrade Assistant (UA). And oracle documentation says ,
+"Do not change from one platform or architecture to a different platform or architecture as part of the upgrade process.+
+For example, if the existing 10g system is running on a Windows 32-bit platform, do not install Oracle BI 11g on a Linux 64-bit platform and then run the Linux 64-bit Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the existing 10g system."+
But there would certainly be scenarios with other users the way I have. Then what is the way out to do this upgrade?
Can anyone give some advice on this. It is little urgent.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Deepika.

Thats are huge change in platform. win32 to linux 64.
Yet what we upgrade is only
catalog and rpd.
this might involve some manual change if UA cannot complete successfully.
Its better to do a prototype before the actual upgrade as recommended by Oracle. This will show what can the possible issues and road blocks.

Upgrade Oracle 10g 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4

Hi,
Is there anybody there, who upgrades Oracle 10g 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4.
May I know where did you download and how you did it as I check the SAP Note 1137346, there is before and after upgrade but nothing about the upgrade process and I can't file the upgrade file as well.
Thanks for the help
P.S.: Our OS is Windows 2003 and we are running NW2004s , EP7.

Hello,
not sure exactly what do you want.
Is there anybody there, who upgrades Oracle 10g 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4.
Yes, me, for example
May I know where did you download and how you did it.
SAP Service Marketplace
http://service.sap.com/oracle-download
-> Oracle 10.2.0.4 -> Database RDBMS -> Your OS
Note that still is not available for Itanium (MS Windows Itanium (64-bit))
The instructions to install any patch set can be found on the patch ser (README file)
you can also take a look at the note 839187 Oracle Database 10g: Patch set installation

Upgrade to 10g on Solaris 9

Hello!
System: solaris 9 sparc 64-bit
I'm about to install a new 10g home and create a dummy database on an existing database server running 9i (prod), and then upgrade the 10g db with EXP/IMP from 9i database, leaving the 9i database intact.
Reviewing the installation document on tahti.oracle.com for Solaris, i noticed that I'm missing an OS package, SUNWlibms and also PL/SQL native compilation (SUN ONE Studio 8 c and c++ 5.5 or gcc 3.4.2).
Would it be safe to just install these packages.. or could it affect the already running Oracle 9i installation?
Any comment, experience regarding this is most valued!
Thanks

The package SUNWlibms should not affect current installs.
You will only need Sun ONE Studio 8 (C and C++ 5.5) or gcc 3.4.2 if you plan to implement PL/SQL Native Compilation - if not, you can skip this requirement

Steps to upgrade to 10g R2

Our unit will soon be deploying IE7 to our machines. I'm looking for simple instructions to upgrade to 10g R2. We are currently on 10g R1 (9.0.4). I assume it will be a simple de-install of DevSuite R1 and re-install of DevSuite R2 (10.1.2.0.2). But is there also a patch I need to install? I also found a whitepaper to help in understanding how to use JRE w/ running forms in IE7 as I understand the JRE is recommended over JInitiator. Is that correct?
So to recap the steps:
1. de-intall DevSuite R1 (9.0.4)
2. Install DevSuite R2 (10.1.2.0.2)
3. Install a patch? (not sure on this part)
4. Install JRE - is this just on the client side or is there something necessary on the server?
Am I missing anything?
Thanks, phil

I have forms running on my test machine after installing the Forms and Reports Services standalone product. I also installed the DevSuite on a separate home. I am having trouble with the OPatch for installing patch 3 but I have been able to test the forms successfully. Though I need to set up the db connection. I get the ORA-12154 TNS error. I have the info in the tnsnames file but I assume I need to configure w/ the Net Configuration Assistant?
I also have this running w/ JRE instead of the JInitiator which seems to be working very well.
So if anyone can point me in the right direction for:
1. Setting up db connection to my forms
2. OPatch use for installing patches
3. info on webutil...do I need the webutil object and library as I did in the 10g 9.0.4 version?
thank you.

SQL Query takes 7 hours after upgrade to 10g

the following query executes in under a minute in 9i, however once upgraded to 10g it takes 7 hours. The query is designed to select the data row with the max date value for the selected criteria (there are multiple rows that match the below criteria with different dates)
I have tested in a lower environment the setting of "_optimizer_cost_based_transformation"=off and this corrects the problem. I do not feel comfortable setting this parameter session or system wide to provide a solution

the following query executes in under a minute in 9i, however once upgraded to 10g it takes 7 hours. The query is designed to select the data row with the max date value for the selected criteria (there are multiple rows that match the below criteria with different dates)
I have tested in a lower environment the setting of "_optimizer_cost_based_transformation"=off and this corrects the problem. I do not feel comfortable setting this parameter session or system wide to provide a solutionIf you're sure that the "lower" environment reproduces the same issue, and not due to some other differences (different statistics, parameters etc.), then you could share the two different execution plans generated via DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY having the cost based transformations turned on and off. Make sure you use the \ tags before and after the plan output to format it in fixed font. You can use the "Quote" button in the message editor to see how to use the tag.
Furthermore a optimizer trace (10053) might reveal why the cost based transformations lead to such an result.

How to copy workbooks from Discoverer 4i to 10g

Hi guys
Can somebody please help me. We've rolled out Discoverer 10G for users that are running on windows Vista (I believe that 4i does not work on Vista, please correct me if I'm wrong). We're still using Discoverer 4i for the users running on windows XP. We have migrated all our existing workbooks from 4i to 10G. The problem is when we create new workbooks, we currently have to create them on both Discoverer 4i and 10G. This is time consuming for us and I'm sure there is a way to just copy/migrate that newly created workbook from 4i to 10G.
Does anybody know how to do this or is there a document.
Thank you for all your help.

Hi,
You can move the workbooks by using a Discoverer export/import from Administrator.
