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

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.

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

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

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.

i click on any of the workbooks it dosen't show me the report
there.
Can i get any solution for this problem.

i really don't know what is the problem all about.
Please help

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".

I cant see the graph in discoverer viewer whith was created in the desktop

Hi,
I need your help!! I have a problem to see a graph in Discoverer viewer. I will detail you the steps that I follow;
It was a difficult calculate report to results by Discoverer so, I create a view in the data base which show 3 field, Periodo(number) which is a union whit other field from other folder, State(varchar), Requirement(number).
From the discoverer desktop y have a crosstab worksheets and a graph, there I can see it without problem, but in the Discoverer viewer I can see the graph.
I tried to set the worksheets options in “show options” to show me the graphs too, but this options didn’t appeared there. Somebody know what I should have to do to see it?
On the other hand I changed the “show null values show” option since null to empty, and when I wanted to save the change this error appeared;
“Oracle BI Discoverer don’t had to found the necessary values to show the events…”
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Dora

Hi Dora,
The graphs that you create using Discoverer Plus will show nicely in Viewer. Everything you develop in Pluys works in Viewer. They are companion products.
You must realize that Discoverer Plus/Viewer and Desktop are two seperate product sets and they use different techniques for graph creation. There are other differencies between the two that suggests that you need to develop all reports using Discoverer Plus in stead of Discoverer Desktop.
I have experienced workbook created in Plus being destroyed when opened and saved using Desktop. So for a long time I have simply forgotten all about Desktop. If your company is relying on both Viewer and Dersktop I suggest that the time has come to change strategy and technique.
If you need sparring please mail to [email protected]
Good Luck!

Report Layout difference in Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
A report was developed in Discoverer Desktop. It is having some 10 columns as data points. The summarized columns for those 10 columns are required. But only 3 columns should be displayed in Detailed Data Points. So we shrinked(brought together) all the unwanted columns keeping 3 datapoints displayed. Now it is working fine in the discovere Desktop. But when we open the same report in the Discoverer Viewer, all the 10 columns are displayed in the Detailed Data Points as well.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Rakesh

hi Michael,
good morning..hope u had a good sleep.
as per your last thought y'day, even though i create a function for the sum of season values n select those columns into the report, those will not be shown as summarized columns on right hand side of the report. they will be shown as datapoints for every month in that selected season.
i think the only possible solution for like this report is to hide those unwanted columns. for this we have hidden checkbox option in tools->sort while developing. but this option is available only for tabular reports.
if u come up with any fresh solution for the fresh day...i am glad.
Thanks,
_Rakesh.

Report not working in Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
I'm using Discoverer 10.1.2.1 in conjunction with E-business Suite 12.1.3.
I have a report that runs fine in Desktop or Plus, but when run in viewer (either from the application or from the stand-alone viewer link) it ends with the following error after running for approx 4 minutes:
The application encountered an invalid state.
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
I recreated the report from scratch, using the same underlying data, and adding exactly the same items, conditions and sorting. The same responsibilities have been given access, and I verified that the SQL produced in both reports is exactly the same.
However my new report works! From what I can see the only difference is the name and workbook identifier.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing my error? I have searched for the error on this forum and others but haven't found the answer.
Thanks
Hazel

Hi Hazel
This has come up before and I found this thread that I was involved in several years ago: https://forums.oracle.com/message/3682002
Here's another one, this time relating to static IP addresses: https://forums.oracle.com/message/1199457
There's also a document on Oracle Support: The application encountered invalid state.Oracle BI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event" (Doc ID 884965.1)
Also, were you using Portal? I've seen instances where Viewer was unable to run a report that was linked via Portal because the report had changed since it was placed on the Portal.

Workbook works fine in discoverer plus but shows error in discoverer viewer

Hi,
I have some issues with the parameter of a report.
one of the parameters is
mgr_id (eg: 1,2,3) -- from database table.
manager names are not available in the database but they are known to users like
1 - david
2 - alan chris
3 - peter
so the requirement is
(i) the input parameter wud be entered as 1 or 2 or 3 or null ( or in multiple combination or all).
But the report shud have parameters in the header of the report.
for eg: if the input parameter is mgr_id = '1' then the report shud have manager name: 'david' in the header.
if the input is mgr_id = '1',' 2', '3' then on the report header, it shud display as manager name: 'david','alan chris','peter'
(ii) the default value of mgr_id shud be 'ALL'. if the user enters mgr_id as 'ALL' then it shud take all the values of mgr_id and pull all the values of mgr_id (like 1,2,3)
and the report header shud display as department name: 'ALL'
i have developed a custom query where i used,
select dept_id, decode(mgr.mgr_id,'1','david','2','alan chris','3','peter') as mgr_name, ..... etc.
in discoverer admin,
I have created LOVs (item classes) for mgr_name.
after that going to properties of mgr_name, i have selected mgr_id as indexed item.
and in the report i have created parameter dept based on mgr_name and selected the option -- allow to select both indexes and values.
and in the default value i mentioned 'ALL'.
after that i changed the condition as
((mgr_name = :manager name) OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name,'ALL','%')))
and in the header, i used &department name --- then it displays correctly.
but the problem is ---
the report works fine in plus. the problem is only when parameter value is 'ALL'
when i run the report from discoverer viewer for the very first time (after logging in), the report works fine with correct data.
but when i run the same report second time with parameter value 'ALL', it gives an error ---
Invalid value "''" for parameter "department name"
i dont understand, why it works for first time and doesn't afterwards. If i logout and login again, it works fine in viewer.
am i doing anything wrong in conditions or declaring the parameters?
I came to know that, the very first time, when we enter 'ALL' it is taking '%' but when we run for the second time, it is taking NULL. since NULL isn't there in mgr_id or mgr_name, it is throwing that error.
How do i fix this error?
Thanks

Hi Puppethead,
I have tried with your suggestions.
the following condition -- did not work
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name, 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
but for the other condition ---
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(nvl(:manager name, 'ALL'), 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
is wrong because, :manager name cud be null, when it is null, it takes 'ALL' i.e. '%' which shud not be the case.
if the user enters null, it has to display records with null only but with the above condition it takes '%'
The main issue which i dont understand is, the report works fine for the first time. for the second time, the report takes null values . why is it taking null values for the second time.
Thanks
