Discoverer Viewer and Scheduled workbooks error

Hi
Hope someone can help.
I am scheduling workbooks in Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.48 with the intention of viewing them in viewer.
The report shows itself as running okay in Admin, but when I open the report in Viewer or Plus I get errors including:
ORA-03106 Fatal two task communication error
or
"unable to generate sql for this scheduled workbook"
I suspect they might be retrieving fairly large result sets (10 K rows +)
Please can anyone offer advice on how to resolve this?
Many thanks

Hi Tim
Well just the way the file is put together, like is it using SID= or SERVER=, does it use SERVER=DEDICATED, do you have one ADDRESS= or multiple?
To make sure everything is right, rename both TNSNAMES and SQLNET.ORA files, then suse Net Configuration Assistant to set up a connection. Then compare that with what you have already and make the necessary changes.
I also noticed that Russ has made a posting concerning a similar error. You should take a look. Its either in here on the Discoverer forum.
Best wishes

Discovere viewer and scheduled workbook

I scheduled a workbook to run nightly. If I open the report, that belongs the scheduled workbook, in Dis Viewer, why Discoverer re-run the query again??? This defeated the purpose of scheduled workbook.....

Yes. That is what I understanded. But when in a SQLPlus session I captured SQL statements of both unscheduled and scheduled reports and they both run the same SQL statement

Cannot start Discoverer Viewer and Discoverer Plus on client.

I have installed Discoverer 9.0.2.39.0 on MS Windows 2000 server.
When I'm trying to start Discoverer Plus an error is occured:

Discoverer: schedule workbooks error ora-942

If I schedule the workbook i receive erorr ora-942 table or view doesn't exists. Information is not written into table type EUL... I tried to schedule as owner of EUL
Could anyone help me.

Hi,
From the administrator guide (read the lovely manual?? ;-):
Before an end user can schedule a workbook, you must:
configure the database to enable the scheduled workbooks feature by:
confirming that the DBMS_JOB package is already installed on the database and installing the package if it is not already installed (for more information, see "How to confirm that the DBMS_JOB package is installed")
specifying the database user that will own the tables containing the results of scheduled workbooks (for more information, see "How to specify the owner of the tables containing scheduled workbooks results")
setting the frequency of scheduled workbook processing (for more information, see "How to control the frequency that the server checks for new scheduled jobs")
grant the Schedule Workbooks privilege to the database user (for more information, see Chapter 7, "How to specify the tasks a user or role (responsibility) can perform")
Regards,
Sabine

Schedule workbook error

I face some problem when trying to schedule workbook, as stated below:
I have a column length change from VARCHAR2(35) to VARCHAR2(100). Now if I try to make "Schedule workbook" we got an error generated in the Discoverer's package, and this error looks like:
“Error:
ORA-12899 value too large for column
"SCH_NP_DIS"."EUL5_B130708054654Q1R1"."BRVC69"
(actual: 36,maximum: 35).”
I found here in one post that I need to delete the scheduled workbook and refresh the EUL.
But I am not sure how to refresh EUL using GUI interface of Discoverer administrator. Could anyone help me by mentioning the steps of EUL refresh. Or is there any other option to get rid of this error?

Hi Soumen66,
I agree with the methodology you found in this forum to fix this problem:
-delete scheduled workbook (of course the workbook which the scheduled workbook is dependent is not deleted).
-refresh EUL objects which have changed.
With respect to how to refresh an EUL object (e.g. a folder which contains an object which has been modified), one just opens the owning Business Area and right clicks on the folder. Next, select Refresh.
With respect to canceling the existing scheduled workbook, the reason for this is that the scheduling components in the scheduling schema create a view and a table which corresponds with the results set's columns data definition at the time of scheduling.

Discoverer viewer drill up -down error

hai,
While i am doing drill up and drill down in discoverer viewer..i am getting error like this
DiscoNetworkException - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.TRANSIENT: minor code: 0 completed: No
null
plz tell me what should i do to solve this..

chandrakumar

Hi Chandrak,
Perhaps the reason you don't get many answers is that you often ask the same question several times, sometimes only hours apart (as if there were 10,000 of us sitting here watching the forum all day, poised to answer "chat-style"). The questions are often very simple (in the help or the manual). Most are marked "urgent". (People begin to ignore the driver who blows his horn all the time.)
Anyway, I didn't know how to edit the title of a worksheet either, so I created one, and right-clicked the mouse on the title to see what would happen, and lo and behold, up popped a context menu with the selection "Edit Title". That took about 20 seconds.
Then I looked to the menu bar, pulled down the [Sheet] menu and there was an "Edit Title" selection there also.
Once you are into the "Edit Title" dialog box, there's a [Help] button.

Problems with Discoverer Viewer and the printable page

Hi,
I have a problem in Discoverer Viewer. I run a workbook, see the results and I click on "Printable Page". I set the page setup options to "Portait" and "100% scale". I preview the workbook in a PDF file and it's ok, I see the results in "Portait" and "100%".
I close the PDF file and I click again on the "Printable Page". This time, I set the workbook to "Landscape" and "20% scale". I preview the workbook in a PDF file and it's NOT ok, the results are still in "Portait" and "100%". And the date/time in the workbook is the time when I run the workbook the first time. So, it's seems like a browser cache problem. The problem repeats until I clear the brower cache. At that moment, the workbook will take the page setup that I set at this time. However, it will be the same workbook with the same results until I clear the cache once again.
If I save the PDF file on my Windows Desktop and I overwrite it each time, it's ok.
Can somebody help me on this??
Thank you!
Mathieu

Hi Michael,
I'm clearing the browser cache by going in Tools -> Internet Options. In the "General" tab, I click on the "Delete files..." in the "Temporary Internet Files" section" (middle of the window).
But I don't indicate that Discoverer is saving my printable page changes. I say that the first time I run a workbook, Discoverer saves it (the results) in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder in a PDF file. Each time I run the same workbook after that, Discoverer don't overwrite the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. He takes the PDF file that is already there and show it to me. So, the results are the same even if the data has changed. It does this until I clear the browser cache (it deletes the PDF file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder).
Do you understand?
Regards,
Mathieu

Timeouts for Discoverer Viewer and SSO

We've enabled SSO for Discoverer Viewer 9.0.4. We set the Viewer timeout in the web.xml file to 120 minutes. We set the SSO Global user Inactivity Timeout to 240 minutes. Viewer sessions don't timeout at 120 minutes. Does the GUIT timeout override the Viewer timeout?
--- Steve

Hi
As far as I know, the Viewer sessions don't time out using the Discoverer settings. These only affect Discoverer Plus. The SSO timeouts will apply though. Out of interest can you tell in which folder was the web.xml you modified?
By the way, 240 sounds an awful long time to allow an SSO connection to stay active.
Best wishes

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,

Are you on a 11.5.10 environment? If so please make sure your DBC-file is generated correctly. Since 11.5.10 Discoverer will be started using SSL mode.
Do you have the same issue when connecting thourg the Desktop or even with the Plus (directly from the /discoverer/plus url)? If so, please make sure the 'ICX: Launch Discoverer Plus/Viewer' have the correct value. E.g. http://<server.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]

Discoverer Viewer and Reports

I have some questions about ORA 10g Discov Plus and Reports.
1. Is it possible to define page items as parameters and use them for an dynamic link? Could it be that the dynamic link parameters are limited to parameters based on columns or rows?
2. If i define every level of an hierarchy as parameter and use them in an dynamic link, how can i avoid the following situation:
Report X contain a hierarchy like Region->Country->Town
I have a dynamic link containing these hierarchies as parameters.
If i use the link at region level and did not drill down to country or town then the parameters country and town are filled with the line name and i get no data. If i refresh and delete the line name for these parameters the records appear in the worksheet. How can i get these parameters to be empty, if i don't drill to them.
3. Reports doesn't recognize the links as it should. If i do not change the report, the links work ok. It opens the second worksheet with the data. If i change a page item or drill to another hierarchy level i get an fatal error (no special code, only fatal error occured, please contact your admin). If i drill down and up again i get the error to. The link only work if i doesn't changed anything.
Anybody got some ideas about these questions?

Hi Rod,
I got it, and had captured the LOGIN_USER.
Now the problem is:
I am using a table SECURITY_ACCESS_MV_D to apply security to a user.
I am using the below query in customer folder as:
select a.emp_id,a.empname,a.salary,a.mgr_id
from emp
where salary is not null
and (emp_id,mgr_id) in ( select distinct emp_id,mgr_id from SECURITY_ACCESS_MV_D where login_user ='HIM'
I am using IN because I have many other column in SECURITY_ACCESS_MV_D, not used in above query which will create Cartesian join if I exclude them in the main query, if I use the simple join in the query.
Now problem is how can I use the LOGIN_USER item (it will come when the certain user will login) in place of 'HIM' ( hard coded value). I want this filter (as mandatory) in the Discoverer Administrator EUL so that it is independent to the user reports.
I can’t find using type of parameters there as in reports we do.
Hope you got it.
Once again this article will greatly help everybody in security while implementing the OD solution.
Thanks,
Himanshu Tiwari
