Discoverer Viewer Actions changed by User (version Oracle 10.1.2)

Does anyone know if it is possible to control the list of available actions to selected users of discoverer Viewer?
I'm using a Portal Dashboard to display Discoverer worksheets. The user can click on the analyze link, which brings up the Discoverer viewer in a new window. I want to be able to hide or remove the export and email Actions for selected users.
Thanks.

Hi
Using standard Viewer functionality it is impossible to have the system change the links on a user by user basis. If you are clever at writing UIX you might be able to alter the code that controls the Viewer interface but be warned, doing so could well invalidate your support agreement. This line of attack is not for the feint of heart and you need to backup your original files first, and even then thoroughly test it on a non-production application server first.
I hope this helps

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

Discoverer viewer without oracle application server

Hi,
has anybody heard, how to use the discoverer viewer with
another application server (than oracle).
since j2ee is a standard there schould be a way.
our administrators will not look after another
application server, just to get some reports.
so i have to get it running on a non-oracle-application server (or worst case: choose another reporting tool)
thanks,
Udo

Discoverer is available and ships as a component of Oracle Application Server. Oracle Application Server via Oracle HTTP Server provides a proxy capability to support other web servers such as Netscape iPlanet and Microsoft IIS. The proxy capability will enable client applications to directly route requests to their native web server and these then get routed to Oracle Application Server and the Oracle HTTP Server. For detailed information on support for these web servers please refer to Oracle Application Server documentation.

Discoverer Viewer 10.1.2.55.26 PDF Printing Issue

Hope someone can help with this as i am at a bit of a dead end as i have trawled google looking for the same issue but no one seems to report this.
Using Discoverer Viewer i generate my report and then click the Printable Page link, then click the Printable PDF button, the PDF appears to get generated but when i click on the PDF doc then Adobe reader displays the message "The File is damaged and could not be repaired. Loca\EWHg7{w#h5d" When i go onto the app server and browse to the "$ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_BI_Forms\applications\discoverer\discoverer\WEB-INF\export_output" i can see the generated PDF file but it shows as a 4kb file and if i try to open it i get the same message about it being damaged.
I have another machine that does produce the file correctly, but it is the only machine that does so. It is still a win 7 machine using IE9 the only difference being that i have logged onto the machine as a different user. I though this may somehow be a user issue ? but why would my domain authentication account have any impact on the PDF process in disco viewer? not using single sign on, i am logging into discoverer viewer as the same user each time.
Any help or ideas would be greately appreciated as this is very frustraiting.
Thanks in advance
Eddie

Michael,
Our server guy confirms that Version 6 Update 24 is what we have on the servers. He has been trying to solve this issue for two months with no real success. I just logged into Discoverer and did not see the errors. It's not every time a user logs in, but it's often enough to be quite a bit of trouble.
Another issue that I see before me (literally on my screen) is when the dialogue box is up to open an existing workbook and the little blue text boxes, sometimes called "hints", pops up with the name of the workbook and it's owner, if the mouse pointer is not moved right away then that little blue box stays on the screen in that spot and does not move or erase. It will stay there until you exit Discoverer and exit from all Internet Explorer windows. When I minimize all windows, the blue text box is still in that spot on the screen now on my windows background.
This blue box error has bugged some of my users but at least a user can move the screen around it. The other error is more serious because it keeps a user from getting their reports.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Discoverer Viewer Report in Web

Hi,
I had created the report usingOracleBI Discoverer Plus Version 10.1.2.45.46c & able to visualize the report in OracleBI Discoverer Viewer Version 10.1.2.45.46c.
URL fo accessing the report is as:
http://machinename1:7777/discoverer/viewer
If i try to connect to from another machine (machine2) as
http://machinename1:7777/discoverer/viewer
i'm unable to connect & i get the error page can not be displayed.
Is it necessary to have the URL only with domain name as
http://machinename.domainname:portno/discoverer/viewer
I had already installed OWB, Oracle BI etc. If i had to create a domain then i have install all these & need to work from scratch.
Is there any way to access the report across the internet or web.
Plz do provide a solution for this issue.
Thx in Advance

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

Discoverer Viewer - URGENT

Hallo everybody
I need urgent help.
I am runing Discoverer 10g on a Windows 2000 server. This is my situation:
On a normal site(on Synkron) I want to make a link. When I click on this link, I want the repport (the repport is made in Discoverer Plus) to show up in Discoverer Viewer without asking the user for Username or Password or anything else.
Is it posible to set the Viewer up, so it dos'nt ask the user about anything(the user dos'nt have any privileges at all), or to set it up on a way where the Viewer put the Password and Username as default?

Hi,
You can try this:
1 - Create a public connection to the data, setting then username and password
2 - Open the Viewer and select the report you want
3 - Copy the url generated
4 - Use this url in your site
I hope it works for you

Serious issue in discoverer viewer

Dear all,
I have serious issue with discoverer viewer 9.0.2.53 version.
I am in need of displaying lengthy worksheet in discoverer viewer,i am using crosstab format.
my client wants to compare the datapoint value of worksheet with leftside drillup/down and top drill up/down values.
I want the assumption of "display similar to desktop display of worksheet"..is it possible to have same type of format or alternative one by customizing viewer?
Plz help me out of this..if viewer does not support this issue i think..its not best suited for report making..
plz somebody confirm about this issue..its very urgent to proceed further...
regards
chandra

Already checked that. I don't think the problem is color profile related.
Besides, when I reset the viewer as described above the colors look perfectly fine.

Oracle Discoverer Viewer will not display in browser

Hi,
I tried using the link below to get to discoverer viewer but it is not working. I can access Oracle Enterprise Manager without any problem.
Could you please help me with that.
Thanks,
Vani
===========================================
Start a Web browser and enter the Discoverer Plus URL containing the fully qualified host name (including port number if necessary) used by your own installation.
For example:
http://machinename.myorganization.com:7777/discoverer/plus
Where:
machinename.myorganization is the hostname and domain on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed
7777 (optional) is the port number on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed if the default port number (i.e. port 80) has been changed
/discoverer/plus is the URL command that starts Discoverer Plus

I am using oracle 9iAS on Windows 2000 Professional.
Database is the one created from the Oracle 9iAS CD that holds the 9iAS Infrastructure.
I have tried using both Netscape 7.1 and Internet Explorer 6.
At this moment, I am hosting database, Application server and browser on this test machine.
I am starting to believe that may be I do not have the correct EUL version but I have used Oracle IDs to create the EUL. It is version 5.x.x. I am not at the location so I cannot give the exact EUL version.
Thanks,
Vani

Discoverer view change default option

Hi friends,
when connecting to discoverer/plus or viewer. The first screen, we will see
"Connect to" and the default for this one is "OracleBI Discoverer"
I just wonder if i can hide that option.
So anytime when i open discoverer plus it i should not see it.Also if anybody can help me adding a LOV to "Database" field on the same page.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
when connecting to discoverer/plus or viewer. The first screen, we will see
"Connect to" and the default for this one is "OracleBI Discoverer"
I just wonder if i can hide that option.You can set its default by passing a parameter to the URL.
for example for oracle application users you should add
&connectionAccessType=APPS
http://<server:port>/discoverer/viewer?&connectionAccessType=APPS
This change is not supported but you can search this forum for UIX manipulations you can do.
You can also look at some other UIX changes performed here:
http://oraclebi.blogspot.com/search?q=UIX
It may give you a direction.
Again, This is not supported, be very careful with the changes made.

All,
Up until now, we have been placing our Discoverer custom views in our apps schema. From a "keeping track" perspective and from a "keep Disco views separate from apps" perspective, we are inclined to create a custom schema to place all of our custom Discoverer views. I have heard that Noetix does this as well.
To accomplish this, we were planning to provide a grant select to all tables, views and synonyms (with a limited execute rights to some packages).
The easiest thing to do is to keep on doing what we are presently doing. We have a naming schema in place that enables us to quickly identify all custom Disco views.
Can I have people whom have implemented a custom schema for their Disco views in apps let me know how this has worked for them? This type of Disco environment appears to require a lot of communication between the Disco staff and the DBA to make sure these grants are set-up correctly.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi,
All the eBS sites I have worked on have created the majority of their custom views in the APPS schema using a naming convention to separate them from the seeded views. The reason being is that the SQL in the view (including all the function calls) is run with the privileges of the owner of the view. If the view is defined in another schema, then this schema must have access to the APPS database objects which can be a lot of work to set up because it is very hard to identify the dependencies and unnecessarily opens up the security on the APPS schema.
Where the data is held in custom tables and there are views on these custom tables, then both the tables and the views are held in a separate schema.
