Discoverer Viewer sporatically not working

Discoverer Version: 10g
Browser: IE 6.0.2900.2180
I have an instance where Discoverer Viewer will work on one persons machine and not another's. We are both using the same Discoverer Viewer and the same browser. By not working, I mean that when I run the reports it shows the Query Progress screen and then eventually will show me the results. When my coworker tries it, the flag in the corner just waves and nothing happens. Eventually he gets a "This page cannot be displayed" error.
This issue not only happens to my coworker but other users of the system. It will work for some and not others. We tested out all the Workbook permissions and did not see it being an issue with that.
The only thing we noticed was that reports have the same List Box on them. This is not a row in the displayed table, but used as part of a 2 admin folders being joined. For example, we get a lot of information out of one folder, then we join it to a second folder, where the List Box values is used to filter.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to handle this or where to look? We also have the same .NET framework and same version of Windows. All of our machines are from the same image.

Hi,
Are these users using the same windows login? Could be that there is a difference in the windows set up, for example, the language settings which is affecting the report.
Can the user go back and continue after the page not found error or is the database connection lost? If the database connection is lost you can trace the Discoverer session to find out why the connection is being dropped.

Discoverer Reports does not work in Multi-org Environment after R12 Upgrade

Discoverer Reports does not work in Multi-org Environment after R12 Upgrade. Created a simple report using the below query:
SELECT po_header_id, segment1, type_lookup_code
FROM po_headers
WHERE segment1 = '5000002'
Query works perfectly fine; when i set the ORG_CONTEXT in the database using the command:
EXEC mo_global.set_policy_context('S',129)
But the report doesn't fetch any data when ran from an Org based responsibility. We've ensured that the MO: Operting Unit is set accurately and general Oracle reports (PLSQL Program OR XML Publisher) are working perfectly fine.
===========
I followed the steps provided in Metalink Note: 732826.1 - It works for some responsibilities where the MO: Security Profile is not set; but fails for those responsibilities where the MO: Security Profile is set.
I am looking for specific solution that works irrespective of either the MO: Operating Unit profile is set of not.
Please suggest. Appreciate your response.
Thanks,

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for the quick response.
Yes, I've gone thru both the notes specified below:
Discoverer Workbooks Based On Organization Enabled Views Are Not Populated [ID 1293438.1]
- Tried this option; but this option is messing up a couple of Oracle Standard Functionalities.
- For ex: If i set this profile option; we are not able to create any receipts using Custom Responsibilities.
I am able to create the receipt, when i remove this profile option.
No Data Shows for Reports in Discoverer 10g with Applications Release 12 [ID 1054380.1]
- I see that the products i am running these reports from AR/GL - already exists in these tables.
Anything other options??
Thanks,
Kesava

If statement within a view is not working correctly ?

Hi all,
maybe i am wrong but i think the if statement within a view is not working correctly. See code down below.
I would like to use the Hallo World depending on the page attribute isFrame with or without all the neccessary html tags. Therefore i have embedded the htmlb tags in an if statement. But for any reason if isframe is initial it isn't working. It would be great if anybody could help me.
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<% if not isframe is initial. %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
     <htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
<% endif. %>
hallo world
<% if not isframe is initial. %>
     </htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
<% endif. %>
thanks in advance and best regards
Matthias Hlubek

Matthias,
The short answer: your example is <b>NOT</b> going to work. The long answer will probably 5 pages to describe. So first let me rewrite the example so that it could work, and then give a short version of the long answer. Do not be disappointed if it is not totally clear. It is rather complicated. (See the nice form of IF statements that are possible since 620.)
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<% if isframe is <b>NOT</b> initial. %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
    hallo world
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
<% else. %>
hallo world
<% endif. %>
So why does your example not work? Let us start with a simple tag:
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
</htmlb:page>
Now, for each tag, we have effectively the opening part (<htmlb:page>), an optional body, and then the closing part (</htmlb:page>). We are now at the level of the BSP runtime processing one tag. What the runtime does not know, is whether the tag wants to process its body or not. Each tag can decide dynamically at runtime whether the body should be processed. So the BSP compiler generates the following code:
DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
CREATE OBJECT tag.
tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
ENDIF.
tag->DO_AT_END( ).
You should actually just debug your BSP code at ABAP level, and then you will immediately see all of this. Now, let us mix in your example with our code generation. First you simplified example:
<% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
<htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
<% endif. %>
<% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
</htmlb:page>
<% endif. %>
And then with our generated code. Look specifically at how the IF/ENDIF blocks suddenly match!
if isframe is NOT initial.
DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
CREATE OBJECT tag.
tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
endif.
if isframe is NOT initial.
ENDIF.
tag->DO_AT_END( ).
endif.
You can see that your ENDIF statements are closing IF blocks generated by the BSP compiler. Such a nesting will not work. This is a very short form of the problem, there are a number of variations, and different types of the same problem.
The only way to solve this problem, is probably to put the body into a page fragment and include it like I did above with the duplicate HelloWorld strings. But this duplicates source code. Better is to put body onto a view, that can be processed as required.

Help viewer does not work after update to 10.4.4

Since updating to 10.4.4 my Help viewer does not work, and all of the troubleshooting fixes suggested in other threads have not had any success in resolving this. I've noted that when I go to Users>Library>Documentation>Help there is no mac.help file - can someone tell me if that means that I've lost the file altogether and need to reinstall it? I get to the first screen of the viewer, but the links from there don't work. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

IBM cognos TM1 Executive viewer is not working on direct Access

Hi,
We are implementing DirectAccess in our environment and testing applications in test lab. It has been observed that executive viewer is not working on Direct Access but working fine over VPN mobile checkpoint. When DA client click on open view button it
gives error
" Additional information:
Unable to connect to server XYZ.com using TCP-IP port 7112. Please make sure that IBM cognos TM1 executive viewer server is started and the port is not blocked by any proxy server or firewall"
but from client telnet is working on port 7112. All ports between DA server and application server are open 3389,7112 and 80.
Also select database option is grayed out and user is unable to select the database. When switching to VPN its working fine.
We are using Executive viewer 9.4.
Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like this program may not be capable of talking over IPv6, which DirectAccess uses. First make sure that when you connect it is trying to talk to a hostname and not an IPv4 address. If your program is calling for "192.168.1.100" - this is never
going to work over DirectAccess. It must call for a name that DirectAccess can resolve to an IPv6 address for communication over DA.
If you confirm it is talking to a name, and then if you confirm that you can do other things to that same name (can you RDP into the server for example?), then that confirms that DirectAccess traffic flow is working to that name/server.
If RDP works but the application still doesn't work, then the application is probably incapable of IPv6. You can either ask IBM if they have a newer version that does talk IPv6, otherwise I have a utility available that can intercept packets from these kinds
of problematic applications and flip the packets into IPv6 on the DA client. Let me know if you need any further information on that: http://www.ivonetworks.com/news/2013/05/ivo-networks-announces-app46-for-directaccess/

Dremweaver CS6. Design View is not working.

Hello.
Design View is not working.
I got this instead of normal View.
What wrong with it?
Regards,
Nata

Sometimes it is just a temporary problem and by shutting down the DW and rebooting the system resolves such problems. Otherwise, you can try to reset the preferences using the instructions given here:
<Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS6, Dreamweaver CC>
Or even try deleting the cache file using these instructions:
<Deleting a corrupted cache file>
Good luck.

Hi, Dave.
If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers. I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
I hope that clears up the issue for you.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

Oracle Discoverer Viewer will not display in browser

Hi,
I tried using the link below to get to discoverer viewer but it is not working. I can access Oracle Enterprise Manager without any problem.
Could you please help me with that.
Thanks,
Vani
===========================================
Start a Web browser and enter the Discoverer Plus URL containing the fully qualified host name (including port number if necessary) used by your own installation.
For example:
http://machinename.myorganization.com:7777/discoverer/plus
Where:
machinename.myorganization is the hostname and domain on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed
7777 (optional) is the port number on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed if the default port number (i.e. port 80) has been changed
/discoverer/plus is the URL command that starts Discoverer Plus

I am using oracle 9iAS on Windows 2000 Professional.
Database is the one created from the Oracle 9iAS CD that holds the 9iAS Infrastructure.
I have tried using both Netscape 7.1 and Internet Explorer 6.
At this moment, I am hosting database, Application server and browser on this test machine.
I am starting to believe that may be I do not have the correct EUL version but I have used Oracle IDs to create the EUL. It is version 5.x.x. I am not at the location so I cannot give the exact EUL version.
Thanks,
Vani

Discoverer Viewer (& Plus) not opening ...?

Hi,
Not sure if I should post here, or with application server team...?
After I had changed the Infra & MidTier to use new ports, Discoverer Viewer is no longer avaialable? The Virtual host for the server is still available, but the Viewer, or Plus cannot open anymore.
To recover, I had to reload a backup...
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this could happen..?
Regards
Steven

Hi Micheal,
I changed the ports as some Goverment department does not allow SSL Port 4443. They require the use of secondary SSL port 563...? I'm not sure about this though, but I have to conform. (Do you have any comments on this?)
I changed the ports by first changing the port in INFRA. (By the way, we're running Infra & MidTier on the same physical machine...)
1. Changes to http.conf
<...
Port 563
Listen 7777
ServerName <virtualName.acme.com>
....>
2. SSL.conf
<...
Listen 563
<VirtualHost default:563>
# General setup for the virtual host
DocumentRoot "C:\Oracle\InfraAS\Apache\Apache\htdocs"
ServerName <virtualName.acme.com>
ServerAdmin <e-mail>
Port 563
..>
3. C:\Oracle\InfraAS\bin\SSLConfigTool.bat -config_w_prompt -opwd <orcladmin_pwd>
4. C:\Oracle\InfraAS\sso\bin\ssocfg.bat https <virtualName.acme.com> 563
....> Vitual host works,
For the MitTier I did the same...
1. C:\Oracle\MidTier\jdk\bin\java -jar C:\Oracle\MidTier\sso\lib\ossoreg.jar -oracle_home_path C:\Oracle\MidTier -site_name <virtualName.acme.com>:443 -config_mod_osso TRUE -mod_osso_url https://<virtualName.acme.com> -u system
2. C:\Oracle\MidTier\sso\bin\ssoreg.bat -oracle_home_path C:\Oracle\MidTier -site_name <virtualName.acme.com>:443 -config_mod_osso TRUE -mod_osso_url https://<virtualName.acme.com> -virtualhost -update_mode UPDATE -config_file C:\Oracle\MidTier\Apache\Apache\conf\cdwportal.nhls.ac.za\osso_cdwportal.conf
3. C:\Oracle\MidTier\portal\conf\ptlconfig.bat -dad portal -sso -host <virtualName.acme.com> -port 443 -ssl
And now the virtual host works...Portal works, Forms works, but Disco does not ...?
I really appreciate your assistance ...

Steven
