Discoverer viewer 10g without edit layout

Hello,
I'm using Discoverer 10. The old version I used when viewing the books at firefox the user could select a button of 'edit layout' so that he could change the table. In this new version I can not find that button. Any idea?

Hi,
You now have to use the Enterprise Manager to change the viewer look and feel. See here for details.

NEED TO DISPLAY A COLUMN as HYPERLINK IN discoverer viewer 10g

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement from the customer and the requirement goes like this ::
We have a table in database which has a column which stores the link as VARCHAR.. For example, it has a value https://www.google.com as varchar in database.
We are pulling reports from this database through Discoverer Viewer 10g. While displaying this column in Discoverer Viewer, it should display it as Hyperlink so that as soon as customer clicks on that , it will open the corresponding page in a new browser window.
Customers have invoice images which they want to see by navigating through that link.
Your quick help is highly appreciated..
Thanks !!!!

Hi
Oracle added Drill Link to Internet URL functionality in Discoverer 10gR2 which allows a data item to behave as a hyperlink in Discoverer Plus and Viewer. To use this functionality, a user must open a workbook in Discoverer Plus 10gR2 and add a Drill Link to Internet URL to a column. For more on Drill Link to Internet URL, refer to the Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus User’s Guide – 10g Release 2, Chapter 10, “How to create drill links to Internet URLs”.
When such a drill link is added to a column in Discoverer Plus 10gR2, the column does seem not retain its hyperlink functionality when called within a Discoverer portlet in Portal. This bug was acknowledged by Oracle as bug # 4969310. This is supposed to be fixed in the 11g Portal.
Does this help?
Best wishes

Configuring discoverer viewer

Hi,
I'm trying to customize the layout of discoverer viewer (10g) in OEM. Specifically, I'm trying to remove the 'send as email' option. I go to the customization tab, and select 'layout', then go to the action links, and uncheck 'send as email'. However nothing changes when I select preview or apply. the change will not take affect. Am I missing something?
thanks in advance,
Rae

Generate discoverer viewer output directly to excel

hi all
i am using discoverer viewer 10g and i am able to export the sheet to an excel pivot table and its work fine .
but can i make the output directly go to an excel and not show the sheet to the user ?
i am running the sheet using a parameter form with a post method and its login and open the worksheet directly
but is there a parameter indicate that the sheet run as batch to a file ?
thanks

I just installed a 10.1.2 to look at this...look at the export URLs.
/discoverer/app/exportdata?event=refreshExportUI&source=exportType

It looks like they changed the URL parameters, but it should still work. The key parameters are:
event=refreshExportUI
source=exportType
exportType=1
View the source on the export page and get the correct export type for xls and you should be able to export your excel.

Discoverer Viewer Locale language - problems with data retrieved

Hi all, I have a very strange problem.
I'm using Discoverer Viewer 10g and when I connect to the same eul/database using Locale: Locale retrieving from browser, I see all my data different from "0" into my report; if I choose Greek as Greek's language I see ONLY "0" as data.
All the queries for the reports are always the same, but something has problems with the language chosen.
This doesn't happen, for example if I choose another language (Italian or French for example), but ONLY with Greek !!!!
Anyone have had a similar problem in the past ?
Thanks in advance
Alessandro

It appears as though there is a general JDBC problem. Please make sure your JDBC client is up to date with the Server. We have seen data conversion problems when there was a mismatch.

Error messages from Discoverer viewer in others languages (Greek)

Hi, I'm using Discoverer Viewer 10g and I set the browser in order to see only Greek language.
When I don't write a mandatory parameter into the initial parameter form I receive an error message as
"parameters required for TASKS_CREATE_DATE_LL" (in English)
where TASKS_CREATE_DATE_LL is the parameter requested.
While for the LOV parameters the error message is written correctly in Greek (and shown into a form from the browser), for the normal parameter, as above, the error message is ONLY in English and written just under the parameter text box....
Is there a way to show these errors also in Greek (always under the parameter text box) ?
I also checked the pref.txt, but I didn't found nothing to set a language...
Thanks in advance for your help
Alessandro

The application.log file, under the OC4J which running your Discoverer provider, should give you some hints about the problem you're facing.

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)

Installing Discoverer with Database Version Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hello,
Is it possilbe to install Discoverer with database version Oracle 10g Express Edition? I have Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.1.0 on my Windows XP machine as well. If so, can someone please provide me a link to the Discoverer download.
Regards,
Kelly

Note that the Personal Edition of the database is 'the most powerful' version, in that it contains all features and options of the Enterprise Edition (expect RAC and Enterprise Manager packs)
As such, the Personal Edition, at a mere USD$400-500 is one of the most cost effective for-fee products that Oracle has in it's inventory. It is targeted at the developer. And it comes with the complete set of Sample Data, whereas XE has a very limited subset (since it does not support all functionality).
Express Edition is indeed free, but it is not supported, and can not be patched. OTOH it does have a lighter footprint.
Again, I am not sure whether Disco 11g is compatible with Express Edition. (It's on my schedule for December ...)

Tweak Discoverer Viewer layout

Hi ,
I am facing a strange problem while trying to roll out the discoverer viewer reports through discoverer viewer. The users, who have been using Excel sheets for years, are asking for lots of changes in the way discoverer viewer displays data. Alhough they are aware that there are lots of other advantages of this tool over excel, but still there are some problems that they feel are basic, and must be adressed. Can someone please help me out on these?
1) The row height of rows in discoverer cannot be altered, so even when the font size of data is just 6, the rows are wide enough to fit data of font size 10!. The layout/format options in discoverer do not provide option to shrink row heights, and so lots of empty space.
2) The reports have to be scrolled using Left ->, Down -> links if the number of rows and columns are large. Although, the Rows and Columns link can be used to fetch all rows and columns in one go, but that has to be done everytime a report is opened. The users want that the number of rows and columns be set to a high value by default. But I could find no place where this can be set as default for all reports.
3) A graphical logo can be displayed in the Title when using Desktop. But this is not available in Plus and Viewer. Moreover in the page where report is displayed, Oracle Discoverer Viewer logo is visible at the top which is not required. Effectively, what is wanted is missing and what not is very well there :-(. how do I do these changes?
4) The NULL values have been set to be displayed as '-' when reports were saved in Plus. But the Viewer still shows them up as NULL. I had to change each of the report in viewer to display the NULL as '-' by going to the Link 'Worksheet Options'. I can't understand that why there is no synch between Plus and Viewer for this setting. Surprisingly now, the worksheet options link has vanished from the viewer page after I did some changes a couple of weeks back, and now I am unable to do those changes too :-((. How do I bring the link back? or how do I set the NULL to be displayed as '-' be default for all reports?
Lots of questions I know... but I am stuck and this is actually affecting the acceptance of the tool among the users. They have been using the excel sheets that are very flexible(the world knows), but still they would be more than happy to use Viewer ,if at least these basic change are made.
Any help on any of these is appreciated.
Thanks
Goga

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

AS 10g 904 Discoverer Viewer and remote db EUL

I have installed Oracle AS 10g (9.0.4) with Discoverer Viewer on a RH AS3 box. I need an EUL setup on remote db (9.2.0.5). Do I have to have Discoverer Windows Admin tool or should I be able to setup an EUL from scratch with the java command line? I am getting core dumps trying to do create_eul using the java command line method. The log file is complaining about no default eul or specified schema tables available. Any help much appreciated.

Add the host name to your etc/hosts file. If you are on windows it would be under c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Try adding that entry to ur hosts file along with the actual ip address. That should make it work.
Thanks,
Venkat
