Discoverer Viewer Formating

I created one cross tab report.but when the end user uses the report from discoverer viewer 4i. Headings of the column are not displaying. In plus it is working fine

Are you referring to the axis labels?
If you look in: Tools -> Options -> Crosstab (as it's a xtab, otherwise it would be labelled Table), you'll see an 'axis labels' box.
Check it on and you'll get the axis labels.

  • Print report parameter and column headers PDF format from Discoverer Viewer

    Hi,
    From Discoverer Viewer 4i I'm presently using the printer friendly version to print my workbooks. I would like to know if their is a way to include report parameters and print column headers on every page.
    I would appreciate any pointers or workarounds to this issue at the earliest.
    Thanks
    T

    Hi T
    I don't think this is possible with 4i.
    Have you considered upgrading to 10g R2?

  • 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

  • Hide a Column in Discoverer Viewer 10.2.1

    Hello Forum,
    I'm doing a little "Show & Tell" this Friday for our end users on Discoverer Viewer.... I'm not the report writer or the end user, so I'm a great guinea pig for how easy is this tool to use and intuitive is it... here is my problem - I want to customize the format, layout whatever you want to call it of a workbook, a simple task like hiding a column seems to be missing? What's the trick, how does an end user who wants to customize their view of the workbook do a simple thing like hide a column?
    thanks

    Hi Mona
    You need to master all of the intricacies of Viewer if you are going to demonstrate it effectively. Viewer is a very, very cool tool with lots of neat features which, in the right hands, is actually much more powerful than it at first appears. I find that the best way to demo it is to focus in on the positives and minimize or not even mention the negatives. Users can usually be blown away by having all of the positives explained before mentioning any of the negatives.
    Now that I have passed on some tips for presenting Viewer, something that I do all of the time, let's address your particular question. :-)
    There are two ways that I know of, and there could be more, to hide a particular column in Viewer.
    The simplest is to move the column to the far right of the report and then tell Viewer to only display n-1 columns, where n = the number of columns in the report. To do this, follow this workflow:
    1. Click the Layout link
    2. Use the Move option to move the column(s) you don't want to display to the right of the last item that you do want to display
    3. Count the number of columns that you want to display
    4. Click the Rows and Columns link
    5. In Columns type in the number of columns that you want to display
    6. Click the Go button
    This second method works for tables and crosstabs that don't use Page Items. Use this workflow:
    1. Click the Layout link
    2. Click the More link
    3. For the column(s) you want to hide, click the Up arrow alongside each one and move it to Page Items
    4. Uncheck the box called Show Page Items
    5. Click the Go button
    I hope this helps

  • 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.

  • Export option in discoverer viewer

    Hi All,
    I am using oracle 9ias discoverer and i need to remove export option from discoverer viewer page.
    I made changes in ui_config.xsl and also unchecked the export data option from preferences page, but it is not reflected in my workbook. when i click on the export data link, a new page is displayed with a combo to select export format and when i click on apply button it forwards to connection page.
    Can anyone please tell me why it is happening like this and how to resolve it.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks and regards
    Mukesh Harjai

    I assume you are following the directions in Chapter 10 - "Customizing Discoverer Viewer" of the Oracle9iAS Discoverer Configuration Guide.
    You should be able to remove the Export link.

  • Discoverer Viewer printing PDF hangs

    Hi all,
    I have installed Oracle BI Discoverer 10.1.2.48.18. It works fine exept that it is not closing discoverer processes. As number of processes raises the amount of free memory lowers. When about 10% free memory on the server the Discoverer Viewer stops creating PDF printouts.
    I open Disco session, open sheet it displays OK. I can export to csv, xls and other formats except PDF. I also can not print PDF. If I click on Page for Print I can set PDF printing options. Then click on Preview or Print and got the Printing PDF - Wait screen. It lasts and lasts...
    Tried opmnctl restartproc ias-component=Discoverer, Discoverer processes disappears, still can not print PDF.
    After coplete restart AS (opmnctl stopall, startall) the function recovers.
    Seems to be tied with memory usage.
    I can restart the AS say 1 a week, but rather use other way to keep the Discoverer printing.
    Any suggestions, please.
    Jiri Rohlicek

    Hi Jiri
    Your CPU and memory looks ok for the Discoverer usage you have described. I'd watch BPEL though and make sure that isn't grabbing too much resource. If anything, memory would be the one to increase. As I mentioned in a previous posting, a 4:1 ratio for smaller boxes is recommended. Your ration is 2:1, although for only 5 users you should be fine.
    I'm assuming you are using Discoverer in stand-alone mode? If not, and you have the infrastructure database on the same machine you are definitely underpowered.
    Regarding the memory, the server is supposed to clear the sessions eventually. One way that you can definitely help is to tell your users NOT to close the browser or click the little X at the top right-hand corner of the screen. This may well close the session on the client end but the server is still holding the session for them.
    Here is what I always do:
    1. When changing from workbook to workbook I always click File | Close to get rid of the current workbook completely
    2. When exiting Discoverer I always use File | Exit, after using File | Close.
    I seem to get far fewer issues this way. It's therefore a training issue and is something that you can do right now. Hopefully this issue will be cleared in the future.
    Best wishes

  • Disable options in Discoverer Viewer

    Hi,
    I have the following questions in Discoverer Viewer.
    1.Save As function should default to user’s “C” drive, not XSR server.
    2.   What about after an end user is finished manipulating the report and exits / goes to a different worksheet – a dialogue page is displayed regarding saving the changes. This needs to be disabled unless you can default the save as to the end users’ pc
    3.Printable page set up needs to be addressed, pages are not formatted to fit reports logically, does not give page numbering/header footer
    4. We need a system-wide change from the standard default settings to some setting that makes sense for our reports – example: landscape vs. portrait; smaller margins, etc.
    5.Export function must bring the following information with the data: report title information, Created on date/time stamp and the Xerox Internal Use Only—Protect until XXXX”. Only brought over the page items titles
    Can some one help in making this happen please...
    Thanks, Prasad

  • Discoverer viewer -- export to pdf doesn't retain page settings.

    Hi,
    The report output in discoverer viewer is much different from that of plus. I am concerned abt the report headers. In discoverer plus, the headers are left, center and right aligned.
    But in viewer, every thing is aligned center. How can I get the report o/p (same as that of plus) in viewer??
    Thanks

  • 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!
    Cheers

  • Discoverer Viewer/Plus does not work with Custom EUL owned by APPS user

    I am facing a unique issue with one of my customers. They have a custom EUL named XX_EUL_US and this does not allow connecting through discoverer viewer or discoverer plus.
    I have worked with custom EULS before at other customers and this was never the case. I am being told that this issue is happening as the EUL owner is APPS instead of some other user. Is this the case? Can discoverer viewer not be used with EULs owned by apps user?
    Please not that the Default EUL in ICX profiles is set to this EUL and no other EUL profiles are set.
    Appreciate any thoughts on this.

    Hi,
    I am not sure what you mean when you say you have a "custom EUL named XX_EUL_US". The EUL table should be created in a schema named XX_EUL_US. This will then be the EUL owner. You will then need to connect to Discoverer Administrator as the EUL owner and grant privileges to Apps users and/or responsibilities.
    The user should then be able to connect to Discoverer Plus/View using their apps username, responsibility and password.
    To be able to connect directly from an apps menu you need to have the ICX parameters set correctly. The ICX: Discoverer Default End User Layer Schema Prefix should be set to XX_EUL (without the _US). The ICX: Discoverer End User Layer Language Override should be set to US or not set at all.

  • 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.

  • Discoverer Viewer Report with Page Items Slow Performance

    I created a report in Discoverer User that has page items and parameters and runs fine (under 3 minutes) in Discoverer User, but when I try and run it in Discoverer Viewer it takes a long time. It took over 70 minutes before manually terminating it. I made a copy of the report and removed the page items and tried to run it again in Discoverer Viewer and now the report runs in under 3 minutes. Any idea why a report with page items would run in Discoverer user fine, but not discoverer viewer?
    I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)

    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.

  • 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..
