Discoverer Viewer - date picker is missing

Hi,
I have a report with the date parameter. It is based on the item of date type. If I run it in the Discoverer Plus then the parameter has the date picker next to the filed as expected and I can choose the date from the calendar. Running the same in the Viewer there is no picker and the date cannot be choosen from the calendar.
I am using Discoverer 10.1.2.55.26.
Does someone know how to get the date pciker in the Viewer as well?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Stanka

Lots of luck. Oracle, in its infinite wisdom, did not provide a date picker in Viewer. I would suggest submitting an enhancement request to Oracle. If enough of us customers do that, maybe Oracle will figure out that this is a feature its user base greatly desires.

Discoverer viewer date picker

Hi All,
Is it possible to have a date picker for date fields in discoverer viewer?
Regards,
Nav

Hi
There is no code to use here, this is all done by the end user inside the Plus worksheet.
First of all, your Discoverer administrator needs to create two or more lists of values on related items within the folder, for example on the Year, Quarter, Month and Date.
In the end user tool, the user creates a set of conditions on these items presenting the highest level first, for example the year, followed by the next item in the chain, for example the Quarter and so on.
In the sub conditions, for example on the Quarter, the user checks the box which asks whether the values for this item should be based on a previous selection. You then tell Discoverer to use the previous selection thus the list of values for Quarter will be restricted to the year or years selected in the first condition. You simply repeat this exercise for Month and then Day.
Do you have a copy of my Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook? If so, you will find a full description of cascading parameters in there.
If you or your users don't know how to do this you may want to consider taking some training as this is standard functionality within the Plus tool and you would expect report writers to know how to do this.
Best wishes

No Data in Report for some users in Discoverer Viewer

Hi we have some users for discoverer reports .The report show data to Admin user. But if the same report is run through any other user id , it displays 'No data is available'. the report is shared to the user, Proper grants on the table is given and also the user is given access to Business Area. It has been an issue only from last week before that it was working fine . There was a data dump taken from the database last week , would that be an issue ? not sure what DBA has done ..The same report is able to run through the user logins in Discoverer desktop tool .The issue is only when accessed via Discsoverer viewer

HI Preetham,
You can take a look at the selection and identification you have made in the multiprovider definition. Most of the cases of a multiprovider report not fetching any data relates to missing identifications of base chars.
For testing purpose also try to include the the InfoProvider in your query so that you can see what data somes from which base cube.
Hope this helps...

No data found in the discoverer Viewer from Apps responsabiltiy

Hi
We have built a new responsibility for the discoverer reports, that is we directly access the discoverer viewer from the separate responsibility,all the report that shared with the users can be viewed from this responsibility,
but when the user tries to run the report it is saying no data found.but for example if the user is trying to run the hrms report from this discoverer reasonability he get no data found but if we attach the function to the HRMS manager menu and try to access the report from the HRMS manager responsabilty we are able to get the data.
We did the same setup in dev and test.in dev it is working very fine but in test we are not able to see the records in the report if we try to access.
Please advice
thanks
Regards
Ramesh Kumar S

Hi,
I'm not 100% familiar with HR security, but sounds like profile option setup related to security - perhaps Business Group or Initialization SQL Statement - Oracle / Custom? Check the profile options set for the HRMS Manager responsibility and setup the same for your new responsibility.
PS. Similar sort of thing exists in General Ledger related to security. See:
GL security issue in discoverer..

"Date picker" in report - - View source shows no label for the date picker

Hi
In one of my reports, I am using multiple types (textarea/text/date picker/select list)
I wanted to use a javascript based on the label, but I do not see "<label>" for Date picker in the view source due to which my Javascript fails.
Snippet of view Source:
<td class="t3data" ><label for="f08_0001" class="hideMe508">CATEGORY</label><textarea name="f08" rows="4" cols="16" wrap="VIRTUAL" id="f08_0001">EMPLOYEE INDUCTION</textarea></td>
<td class="t3data" ><span class="lov"><input type="text" name="f11" size="15" maxlength="2000" value="29-FEB-08" style="padding-right:5px;" id="f11_0001" /><script type="text/javascript">
As you can see above, we have a "label for" for the text area but not for the date picker
Is there a reason for the same?
Thanks
Nitin

Hi,
OK - the headers attribute should also help as these will identify the correct cells. You would need to know the html tags used within each cell for each datatype.
Would using cloneNode help you? It's a method of creating a copy of an entire row in a single instruction

Using Discoverer 4i to view data on SQL Server

Hello,
We have Discoverer 4i set up to work with Oracle 9i. Now our Discoverer users want to use Discoverer to view data that is in SQL Severer. We don't want to rebuild data in SQL Server into 9i. What can we set up so 4i can view and maybe update data that is in SQL Severer. Thank you.

I can't tell exactly what the problem is, but why don't you try a different approach. See a couple of the tutorials from the link below, and try it again.

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.

Missing "Worksheets' in Discoverer Viewer

Hi everyone,
I am using Discoverer 10g. I created a workbook with 2 worksheets. When I use my Discoverer Viewer I am able to have the "Worksheets" option that allow me to switch between sheets but when I access it by clicking "analyze" link in the portal, this option is missing.
Has anybody encountered the same issue? Any solutions/ suggestions are most welcome :)
Cheers,
Angeline

In Discoverer 10.1.2, when you analyze a worksheet in Viewer by clicking the 'Analyze' link in Portal, you are confined to that single worksheet. This mode is also known as 'Single Worksheet Viewer' mode.
Usability tests we conducted told us that the ability to navigate out to other worksheets in Viewer when users had come to Viewer from Portal (by clicking the 'Analyze...' link) confused people.
Now, in 10.1.2, when you are in Single Worksheet Viewer mode, the 'Exit' link at the top is replaced by 'Save and Return to Portal' and a 'Cancel and Return to Portal' links. If the worksheet portlet publisher has disallowed saving changes back to Portal, you will see only the second link.
Thanks

Resource Bundle Changes for uix.data.nls[variable] in Discoverer Viewer

Hi
I have made some successful changes to the UIX pages in Discoverer Viewer, but I would really like to change the text being displayed in many pages.
I could do this by changing the following:
<styledText styleClass="OraInstructionText" text="${uix.data.nls['text.userName']}" labeledNodeId="${uix.data.constants.USER_NAME_PARAM}"/>
to
<styledText styleClass="OraInstructionText" text="My New Text" labeledNodeId="${uix.data.constants.USER_NAME_PARAM}"/>
However I would rather change the message bundle directly.
Has anyone done this? If you have I would be most grateful if you could let me know how!!
Many thanks
Chris

Data not fetching in Discoverer Viewer

Hi All,
I ran a report in discoverer viewer, but i'm not able to get any data. So i ran the same report with same parameter in Discoverer Desktop, there i'm getting data.
Please suggest me in this issue.
Thanks,
Bopty

Hi,
There are many reasons why Desktop may return different rows from Viewer and Plus even when the same user and report are used.
The most common reasons are:
1. There are 2 EULs in the database and the default EUL for Desktop is different than viewer.
2. The NLS parameters such as language are different. Disco Desktop language is defaulted to the language set for the PC and so may be different to viewer.
3. The preferences set in the registry are different from the preferences set for Viewer/plus. These can control what SQL is used by Discoverer and hence cause different results.
You may need to check the SQL being run in the database sessions used by Desktop and Viewer and see if there is any differences in the SQL. You can also trace the database sessions for Desktop and Viewer and see why the different results are returned.

Discoverer Viewer showing Cache.How to show the updated data on DB

Hi,
Thanks in advance.
I'm am using url to open discoverer report in browser.
http://hostname/discoverer/viewer?cn=cf_a129&event=openWorksheet&wsk=workbookname
I'm getting the report data correctly when i enter the parameter and click go button.
When i close the browser using browser close option.Then I inserted one more data in DB and then generate the same report again.
The report i'm getting is the old one,which dont have the inserted new data.
It might be coz the report i created 1st is been cached and kept.
Is there any way to rerun the query reach time i open the report.
Edited by: 849540 on Jan 2, 2012 2:39 AM

Hi,
You should disable the caching in the application manager.
Go to the discoverer->viewer->cache and uncheck the "V".

Date picker missing

I have a form made up of a table. In one row I have a date picker. Unfortunately, I need to hide this row before the page load up. When a radio is picked, then this date picker row will show. However, when the row shows, the date picker does not appear. Why is this and how can I get around this issue?
<h:inputText id="text2" styleClass="inputText">
<hx:convertDateTime />
<hx:inputHelperDatePicker />
</h:inputText>

It will help others if you mention the specific component used. It's a Sun forum here, expecting discussions about the Sun JSF RI components (the h: components). You're talking about the IBM Faces Client Framework component (the hx: components).
How is the row displayed/hidden? Clientside or serverside? I guess it's clientside and that there may be something wrong in the Javascript (as always with those IBM components). Run a Javascript debugger and take a look. The Venkman JS debugger extension for Firefox is a nice one. If you still get stucked and don't get any response here, try the IBM developerworks forums.

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.
