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.

  • Discoverer Viewer - Drill down option

    Dear all
    I created a report in discoverer desktop, with drill down option for financial information.It works fine in Disco Desktop. All the drill down options are working fine as well. But the same report when run in disco viewer, it has got an option for drilling down further, then another option for collapse(with the blue button) - to view the summary value.
    When the collapse option is chosen, the blue color button disappears in Viewer and wouldnt know how to drill down back without reloging into the application.
    Could you please help me how to solve this problem, as I need to share this report with users who has viewer access only?We are using 9i at the moment.
    Thanks.

    Hi Russ
    I have heard folks having awful issues with IE 7. It seems to mess up everything Oracle. Sounds like Oracle and Microsoft have some hurdles to cross. For now I would advise everyone to either stay on IE 6 or use another browswer like Firefox.
    To answer the specific question posted here, it is possible that the user has hit one of the well known Discoverer bugs wherein Discoverer Viewer cannot properly execute workbooks created in Desktop. There are fixes and one-off patches available for this in MetaLink but these patches all require a password to download them. I would advise the raising of a service request and in the request spefically ask if there is a one-off patch that will fix this.
    Best wishes for now

    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 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

  • URGENT!! Drill Down Error with Character Set non-ascii on Discoverer Viewer

    Hi,
    We have an error in a Drill down. It comes up when the Discoverer Viewer tries to process data that contains special character (non-ascii) in a query's filter. The same report that does not perform well with special characters, does perform well if the data don’t contains special characters, so it seems to be an issue processing non-ascii chars in this Discoverer Viewer instance.
    Ex. FIELD_NAME = 'öÜæäé (This filter is contained in a query that this getting an error msg="We're sorry, the server encountered an unexpected condition" ).
    It might be possible that there are some problems with the Discoverer charset ?
    We will appreciate any suggestion about this respect.

  • Drill down error on Viewer

    Hi, I'm having an error on Discoverer Viewer (Release 4.1.44) when I try to Drill down on an element. The drill down functionality works ok, except when the drill down elements are too many and needs to be drawn on Next Page. In that case I got an error ("The page cannot be display").
    Anybody had that problem, or knows why it is happening?
    Thanks in advance
    Ivo

    Though I cannot say without investigating this if this is a bug or due to some other issue, the first advice would be for you to upgrade to the latest patchset, 4.1.48 or later. There is a good chance that this issue, if a bug, may have been fixed in a subsequent release.
    The other option would be to take a look at Metalink.Oracle.com and see this issue has been reported earlier.
    Thanks

    Jeff,
    To get the fix you have to: Bug number -5673463
    (a) Apply the 10.1.2.2 patch - you can get this on Metalink (4960210). It is a big patch (over 1 and half GB in size) and will upgrade your app server.
    (b) Then apply the IE7 patch from Metalink (5758865).
    Hope this will help

  • Drill Down pop up in Discoverer viewer

    Hi
    We use Discoverer viewer version 9.0.2.53.0
    I have made a drill-down crosstab with three drill-down levels. When I drill in the viewer the pop up box (the one that shows what levels you can drill to) comes up with scrollbars (both horizontal and vertical) and only the first and second level show, I have to scroll to see the third level.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can get a pop up without scrollbars (like I have in Plus and Desktop)?
    Greta Dalseth, Norway

    I filed a TAR on metalink for this, here is Oracle's reply, and my reaction to it:
    <snip from TAR>
    Hi Jens.
    I have tested this on both 902 versions and have seen the difference. As this is a change purposely done by Developement in order improve functionality the only way that it can be changed is not through a Tar/bug but by logging a enhancement request. This can be done by you through Metalink.
    To log a enhancement request click on the blue button on the left hand side of the screen titled 'News & Events', then clcik on the 'Click here for more ERS information' link - this will allow you to log a enhancement.
    I will now suspend this Tar. The status of this TAR is SCL (Suspended by Oracle Support Services). Should you wish to progress/reactivate this TAR please update the TAR via Metalink within the next 14 days. After that period please log a new iTAR stating this TAR number as base TAR if the same problem occurs.
    Best regards,
    <signature removed>.
    New info : "Purposely Done"?
    You must be joking.
    Could you please explain why they have done this.
    I think someone have screwed up here.
    Should not be necessary for me file an enh. req. for this.
    The popup is hardly usable, as you can't read whats in it. This have to be a
    bug.
    Please follow this up through the tar.

    Can you believe Oracle Developers want the pop-up like this.... ;-o

  • 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
