Discoverer Viewer Function

Hi,
I want to add a discoverer viewer function to my menu to load all available workbooks shared with a user.
I can use the seeded AMS_LAUNCH_DISCO to load specific workbooks but what would be the parameter to view all workbooks the same as if you'd logged in to Discoverer Viewer seperately?
Thanks,
Dan

  • 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

    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,

  • 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..

    All,
    Up until now, we have been placing our Discoverer custom views in our apps schema. From a "keeping track" perspective and from a "keep Disco views separate from apps" perspective, we are inclined to create a custom schema to place all of our custom Discoverer views. I have heard that Noetix does this as well.
    To accomplish this, we were planning to provide a grant select to all tables, views and synonyms (with a limited execute rights to some packages).
    The easiest thing to do is to keep on doing what we are presently doing. We have a naming schema in place that enables us to quickly identify all custom Disco views.
    Can I have people whom have implemented a custom schema for their Disco views in apps let me know how this has worked for them? This type of Disco environment appears to require a lot of communication between the Disco staff and the DBA to make sure these grants are set-up correctly.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Hi,
    All the eBS sites I have worked on have created the majority of their custom views in the APPS schema using a naming convention to separate them from the seeded views. The reason being is that the SQL in the view (including all the function calls) is run with the privileges of the owner of the view. If the view is defined in another schema, then this schema must have access to the APPS database objects which can be a lot of work to set up because it is very hard to identify the dependencies and unnecessarily opens up the security on the APPS schema.
    Where the data is held in custom tables and there are views on these custom tables, then both the tables and the views are held in a separate schema.

  • Discoverer Viewer Actions changed by User (version Oracle 10.1.2)

    Does anyone know if it is possible to control the list of available actions to selected users of discoverer Viewer?
    I'm using a Portal Dashboard to display Discoverer worksheets. The user can click on the analyze link, which brings up the Discoverer viewer in a new window. I want to be able to hide or remove the export and email Actions for selected users.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Using standard Viewer functionality it is impossible to have the system change the links on a user by user basis. If you are clever at writing UIX you might be able to alter the code that controls the Viewer interface but be warned, doing so could well invalidate your support agreement. This line of attack is not for the feint of heart and you need to backup your original files first, and even then thoroughly test it on a non-production application server first.
    I hope this helps

  • NEED TO DISPLAY A COLUMN as HYPERLINK IN discoverer viewer 10g

    Hi Guys,
    We have a requirement from the customer and the requirement goes like this ::
    We have a table in database which has a column which stores the link as VARCHAR.. For example, it has a value https://www.google.com as varchar in database.
    We are pulling reports from this database through Discoverer Viewer 10g. While displaying this column in Discoverer Viewer, it should display it as Hyperlink so that as soon as customer clicks on that , it will open the corresponding page in a new browser window.
    Customers have invoice images which they want to see by navigating through that link.
    Your quick help is highly appreciated..
    Thanks !!!!

    Hi
    Oracle added Drill Link to Internet URL functionality in Discoverer 10gR2 which allows a data item to behave as a hyperlink in Discoverer Plus and Viewer. To use this functionality, a user must open a workbook in Discoverer Plus 10gR2 and add a Drill Link to Internet URL to a column. For more on Drill Link to Internet URL, refer to the Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus User’s Guide – 10g Release 2, Chapter 10, “How to create drill links to Internet URLs”.
    When such a drill link is added to a column in Discoverer Plus 10gR2, the column does seem not retain its hyperlink functionality when called within a Discoverer portlet in Portal. This bug was acknowledged by Oracle as bug # 4969310. This is supposed to be fixed in the 11g Portal.
    Does this help?

  • Discoverer Viewer Issue - IE7 - Parameter Popup Fails (Oracle JS issue?)

    OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
    I have created a report that has several parameters, each of which can be entered directly or by clicking a button to bring up a parameter selection popup. Each parameter popup displays an associated LOV.
    This works great in Discoverer Plus. It also works well in the HTML-based Discoverer Viewer using IE6. It does not, however, work in IE7.
    What happens:
    When using IE7 with Discoverer Viewer, I access a report with parameters and then click on the "flashlight" icon to the right of a parameter field to bring up the parameter popup. IE7 then:
    - Changes the cursor to an hourglass
    - Displays the following in the status bar: "Done, but with errors on page."
    - Stops doing anything else, leaving the cursor as an hourglass
    - Popup never shows up
    I assume that the cursor is stuck as an hourglass since the flashlight button must have a JavaScript "onClick" handler that executes a function to change the cursor prior to opening the new child window with the parameter LOV...and the cursor gets stuck when the JavaScript routine encounters an error. The cursor isn't my issue, but it is also annoying since my users will assume that the browser is doing something...and it is not.
    Regardless, if you click the status bar message, it displays the following JavaScript error:
    Line: 3609
    Char: 1
    Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
    Code: 0
    Oddly enough, if you then ignore the situation and click the "Go" button to run the report (using the cursor stuck as an hourglass), the report runs and as soon as it completes, the popup for the parameter THEN appears.
    As I said, the issue is with IE7 only. It works fine in IE6...and I don't have the popup blocker enabled in IE7.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    Steve

    Hi
    Yes' you're right, the compatibility is for IE8 to IE7 and it does work very well - which I know is a red herring.
    I'll keep looking through my notes.
    From all of my notes, IE7 is supposed to work just fine with 10.1.2.3 (your version). I've been using IE7 for quote some time and I've never seen a JS error coming up in Viewer - Plus yes and many times.
    Some things I would try at this stage are:
    1. Delete your Java cache
    2. Make sure no popups are blocked
    3. Make sure cookies are enabled
    4. Try Mozilla and see if you get the same issue - will indicate if a machine issue or browser issue

  • 530 authentication required, when send report as email thru Discoverer View

    Hi,
    I got the "530 authentication required" error message when I tried to use the "Send as Email" function to attach a report in the Discoverer Viewer.
    Could anyone shade some light on this error?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You need to talk with your "system", it seems like you got to a closed port.
    Also it may be that a firewall is blocking you.

  • 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.

  • Workbook with Discoverer Viewer in Apps 11i?

    With the help of (Doc ID: 278095.1) I was able to link Discoverer workbooks in Apps 11i. But all of my workbooks open with Discoverer Plus.
    How do I open some of the workbook with Discoverer Viewer in Apps 11i?
    I can open all my workbook directly with Discoverer Viewer without Apps 11i config.
    Current Function Settings (in 11i) are:
    Type: SSWA plsql function
    HTML Call: OracleOASIS.RunDiscoverer
    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Hi,
    Your workbooks are openned with viewer or plus depending on the profile 'ICX: Discoverer use Viewer'. You can override this by setting the viewer parameter on the call to OracleOASIS.RunDiscover. In the config of the Apps function that call OracleOASIS.RunDiscover, on the form tab add &VIEWER=Y or &VIEWER=N onto the end of the parameters. e.g workbook=myworkbook&parameters=param1~value1&viewer=Y
    Hope that helps,

  • 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.

  • 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)?

    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.

  • 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...

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.
