Distribution of scheduled Discoverer report
Hello everybody!
We need to distribute output of scheduled discoverer report in Excell format to the list of users.
I've read that output of the scheduled report is stored somewhere on the server. I am trying to find where exactly it's located and use shell script to mail it to users.
My questions:
1. Please direct me where I should look for stored output.
2. Is there better solution to acheive what we need?
Best Regards.
Nadya.

Scheduling Discoverer Report and distributing Discoverer Report Output
Hi,
We are using discoverer (Along with Oracle HCM R12) and would like the END USER to schedule the reports by themselves.
There is an option to schedule the report, and also an option to share it to chosen users/ responsibilities.
We scheduled one report and also set the sharing option to share with others but it seems the report executes but doesn't get sent out by email to the END USER's email id.
Any ideas / thought on this please?
NB: We are looking to distribute Discoverer Report Output from scheduled Discoverer reports...not looking to share the report with other users/ responsibilities.Hi,
My bad, Sorry as I was speaking on EBS terms.
Anyways, please see if the following thread helps you:

Scheduling Discoverer Reports in Bulk (without GUI) - is there a way?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to schedule a bunch of reports without using the GUI (there's zillions of reports that run well most of the time but sometimes some of them don't work, so instead of having people going mad clicking through all of them in search of one that doesn't work we'd like to schedule them all and check which one didn't run).
I know we can schedule reports using GUI (tested) but GUI means I'll have to open and schedule each report by hand.
While doing it manually would probably keep me busy until retirement age I fear for my sanity if I start doing it that way.
Does anyone have a pointer on how to handle it? I'd love to do it through direct access to the meta tables, command line is good (although I see no documentation on scheduling via command line, only on scheduling a command to run report and running it via an external scheduler).
Thank you all in advance,
CHi,
is there a way? Not really. When Discoverer schedules a workbook it updates the EUL with details of the batched workbook, creates a package and view to run the workbook and schedules a job on DBMS_JOBs queue. There is no API to do this from outside Discoverer so you would have to write your own API.
Another good reason for using a 3rd party scheduler.

Scheduled discoverer report giving error
Hi All,
I am facing a problem where in I have scheduled a report. The table populated after scheduling is fetching data but when we try to open the scheduled report it gives an error ' Inconsistent datatype expected number got date '.
We are using a function in the report which fetches a date colomn and return type of that date used is Varchar(2). We also tried using the return type as date but same error comes.
An early response will be highly appriciated.
Regards,
Shrutii have similar problem - i have some calculated columns in the report.....when i schedule it the values in one column are getting populated in the other column.....if i run the report manually i did not have any problem.
i had a small calculation for a column (date)....user wanted to see it in a different format in the report.....
already that column was existing in the folder but in a different format......but upon users request i just put up a small calculation for that...........
i scheduled the report and ironically only that calculated column (date) was getting populated wrong........so i pulled the normal date column from the folder..........and now i have two columns for date (1-calculated, 2 - from folder)..........1st column is anyhow getting populated wrong....but the 2nd column was pretty good........
many of you might know....."*IDLE MAN'S BRAIN IS A DEVILS WORKSHOP*"....
i formatted the 1st column with white color and kept the background color also as white......so that when the user opens the scheduled report.....he will see only a blank white column for the 1st column............i told him to export it to excel and then delete that blank column and save your excel output..
i know this is the worst solution or idea anyone can get.........but i had to do it. -
Scheduled Discoverer report link for viewer in portal
Hi,
When a link for scheduled report for plus users is created in portal Oracle suggestes the following. This is good since it does not need the run number and the same link will work for all reruns.
http://<host.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_a156&opendbid=SALES_ANALYSIS2&sheetid=42&workbooksource=Scheduled
whereas for opening a scheduled workbook result in viewer the link needs the run number which prevents using the same link for every run.
Do anyone found a way to workaround this
Thanks for the help
JayHi Jay
I can see that you've had this posted for a little while so I thought I would at least let you know that I've read it. I'm afraid the answer is not what you hoped though as I don't know of a way off the top of my head to do what you ask.
Sorry, regards

Discoverer - Report Scheduling
Hi Friends,
I have scheduled discoverer report. Now the status is "Running Query". Can we unschedule this report or need to kill oracle session.
Even if i will kill the session will it take up the next scheduled report automatically.
PankajHi
Your Discoverer Administrator can unschedule any future schedule so this will stop it being scheduled again.
I appreciate that you may well know how to kill an Oracle session so I include the following for anyone who does not.
To kill a current job, you or your DBA will need access to V$ views, V$SESSION, V$PROCESSS, V$SQLAREA. Also, V$OPEN_CURSOR will have all currently opened cursors.
From V$SESSION you can get the SID and SERIAL#.
SELECT
SESS.SID,
SESS.SERIAL#,
SESS.OS_USER,
SESS.PROGRAM
FROM V$SESSION SESS;
As a DBA, you can kill the session using the following command.
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID, SERIAL#'
Note: SID and SERIAL# values are separated by a comma and are within single quotes.
In some situations the Oracle.exe is not able to kill the session immediately. In these cases the session will be "marked for kill". It will then be killed as soon as possible.
Issuing the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION command is the only safe way to kill an Oracle session. If the marked session persists for some time you may consider killing the process at the operating system level. Killing OS processes is dangerous and can lead to instance failures, so do this at your own peril.
It is possible to force the kill by adding the IMMEDIATE keyword:
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID,SERIAL#' IMMEDIATE;
If you're interested in killing sessions at the operating system levele, here's a good link: http://www.dba-oracle.com/tips_killing_oracle_sessions.htm

Regarding Issue when Exporting the Output of the Discoverer Report to Excel
Hi,
Can Any of you guys help me out in this issue. I am exporting the Discoverer Report Output to Excel sheet, I am able to export but while I am opening the excel sheet I am getting an error saying "UNABLE TO READ FILE".
Please help me out in this Issue, it is so urgent.
Thanks in Advance..
Raja.Hi,
Is there any way to export the output of scheduled Discoverer Reports to a particular server using Discoverer plus.Only by openning and exporting each report manually.
is there any way to get the output name in a particular syntax. I want to concatenate date in the output name.Only by entering the filename when you do the export.
The best way to do this is to use Discoverer Desktop and a third party scheduler. Then you can export all your reports automatically and define the filename used in the output. Search this forum for more information on third party schedulers.

Scheduling of discoverer report via concurrent program or pl/sql code
Hi All,
I am beginner on Discoverer Report. As per my client requirements we need to do the scheduling of discoverer report rather than manually run it every week. Also we need to do this job by help of concurrent program or pl/sql code. But I don’t know how to scheduled the discoverer report.
Please any one help me or provide pl/sql code.
Thanks in Advance
Subhas SamantaThis is one of those questions that has been asked on the forum for years now and the answer really hasn't changed in that - command line using .BAT files, command line using VBasic (Rod's expertise) and Java potential via Plus.
You can search the forum for the fully documented answers to this but basically:
1. you can use Disco Desktop - NOT Plus or Viewer - with good ol' MS BAT files using the command line interface
2. you can use Disco Desktop - NOT Plus or Viewer - with good ol' MS BAT files using VBasic calls
3. I think - although never have seen - using Java command line interface to control it via a Java program
oh yah ...
4. if you're running Oracle Apps I believe you can get the Concurrent Manager to run the Disco report for you as well (another of Rod's expertises)

How to e-mail discoverer reports on scheduled timings
want to send discoverer reports to customers through e-mail,does discoverer provides any utility that does without manual intervention.It should be happened at scheduled timings.
Apply an event on your report.
First go to Cmc, create an event based for example on a file that should be created in certain route if the query won't return 0 rows.
Then apply this event in your report Schedule option Event. -
Discoverer Report Scheduling Permissions question
Quick question,
i have a report which runs fine for all users, however when scheduled for certain users the report fails to return data. The report uses a folder with a call to the GL_SECURITY_PKG in the SQL. I have removed this and the report appears to run when scheduled, the above package gets the responsibility info from the FND_GLOBAL.RESP_ID function and checks it against the GL set up for security when viewing GL data.
I’m thinking that whatever runs the scheduled workbooks isn’t picking up the user and responsibility that scheduled the report? This is a hunch – can anyone explain more?
Thanks
Sol

Edited by: SolHill on 01-Nov-2011 09:45Hi Sol
That is correct. The user and responsibility are only used during the session when the user is connected to the database.
Whenever a scheduled workbook is run in an APPS-mode environment the user running it will be APPS. This user is a database user and does not log in with a responsibility therefore the FND_GLOBAL.RESP_ID will not be set.
Best wishes

Error while running the Discoverer report from the command line.
Hi All,
I've to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls/html on to my local machine. This report I've to run it as batch and scheduled it.
I have a parameterized worksheet and this has to be run from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for. I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
dis51usr /connect user/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" '40351' /parameter "From Date" '05-MAY-2008' /parameter "To Date" '06-MAY-2008' /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStOutputinHTML123"
I even added the TO_DATE conversion for the parameters and also gave the format of the date as 'DD_MON_YYYY'.
Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Please anyone reply me.
Regards & Thanks,
P. Gayathri DeviHi Gayathri,
Try changing your parameter names to be a single word. (Change "Test Number" to Test_Number).
Does the report run fine when run through Desktop for the same parameter values? Which version of Discoverer are you using?
Thanks. -
Unable to run discoverer report from command prompt
Hi,
I'm trying to run the discoverer report from command prompt and i need to schedule the same.
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters?
If i don't pass the optional parameters, the parameter screen is getting pop-up? How to skip optional parameters?
Also, how to pass the data ranges (format for date parameters) ?
I'm using the below command in command prompt:
cd/d E:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin
dis51usr /connect username/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" 40351 /parameter "From Date" "01-JAN-2007" /parameter "To Date" "28-FEB-2007" /parameter "Observation Status" C /parameter "Observation Name" "Abdominal Girth" /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStatusOutput11"
Any one please reply me. Its very urgent.
Regards,
SreedharHi,
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters? You should be able to use a comma separated list e.g.
/parameter "Observation Name" "'Abdominal Girth','Abdominal Girth2'"
How to skip optional parameters?I don't think you can. You have to supply all parameters and then decode out the parameters you don't need in the workbook.
how to pass the data ranges You cannot pass a date range. You can pass a start and end parameters. The default format for the date parameters is DD-MON-YYYY but this can change depending on the NLS settings and format of the data item.
