E-mail resuls of Scheduled Workbooks

Hi,
Can somebody tell me if it is possible to automatically e-mail the results of a scheduled report in discoverer as soon as the report is run. If possible please explain how can it be done.
Thank You,
RM

RM.
Discoverer may support emailing reports, but as you probably know, to automatically do it is another thing altogether.
Right now you need something to perform automation, and as Michael points out there are various 3rd party scheduling tools (including Febooti which I've used in the past and works well with this) which will run your Discoverer workbook / worksheet automatically, and export (or email in this case) automatically from the command line.
Which tool or method you choose is a popular - and sometimes contentious - issue on this forum as we all have our biases. However, you could probably boil it down to running a scheduler to invoke Disco Desktop from the command line (ie: DOS), or running a scheduler to invoke Disco Desktop from VBasic, or my favourite but never heard of anyone doing it (and therefore is it even possible), running a Java program which issues the same command line commands.
All methods are possible, all rely on the command line interface (whether DOS or Java) and all can be simple in just having one command line run 1 workbook / worksheet, or incredibly fancy (I'm guilty of this) in having an entire corporate reporting system using it but incredibly complex DOS bat files.

  • Automatic email of scheduled workbooks

    is their any way to send emails automatically from discoverer plus/viewer, the results of the scheduled workbooks

    Hi
    I'm afraid this is not possible in any version of Plus or Viewer. I understand that this may well make it into the 11g release which is sceduled for release late 2007 / early 2008.
    In the interim, the only way to do anything like this would be to use Discoverer Desktop's command line utility called from a third-party scheduler.
    Take a look at this thread from a couple of months ago: Re: E-mail results of Scheduled Workbooks which I updated a few minutes ago to make it current so that you can see it.
    Does this help?

  • Scheduled workbooks can be open via DisPlus/Viewer but not in Desktop

    When we schedule reports in Discoverer results can be pulled out only via Discoverer Plus/Viewer, when sthe ame scheduled report is opened via Discoverer desktop we get the following massage:
    “The results run for this scheduled workbook can no longer be used because the query has changed. Do you want to query the database now for the new results?”
    Does anyone know what the issue is here and how it can be resolved?

    Hi
    When you upgraded your Discoverer to 10.1.2.2 did you also apply the patch to upgrade Desktop and Administration?
    You would have needed to get hold of the Windows version of the patch then run the software update pointing at the Desktop version.
    Also, I've heard of this happening following an upgrade from version 4 to version 10 and there are various notes on My Oracle Support concerning this. The one I was just looking at is note 419794.1
    Another area where this can happen is if the worksheet uses code that would generate a fan trap. Note 389906.1 deals with this.

  • Deleting the scheduled workbooks that are no longer valid - via script

    Hi,
    I would like to delete the results of the scheduled workbooks (created by users other than me) with scheduled workbooks status like 'Error while running query" or "Report Expired" or "EUL has changed, reschedule report". From Discoverer Administrator (version: 10.1.2.1) --> Tools --> Manage Scheduled Workbooks --> search by user, I can only delete one scheduled workbook at a time. Is there a way to delete these via a script of some kind?
    If any one has a sample script and if you can share here that'd be awesome.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Esther

    Ran into Note:459747.1 from metalink. It has information to identify the scheduled workbook results etc., But according to the note in this note "Note: The tables mentioned here should never be updated or deleted manually."
    But the admin tool allows to delete one scheduled workbook result at a time based on the status.
    Any information here would be beneficial...
    Thanks

    Hi..
    the error showing occurs if the ports are not correctly opened with the mail server.
    check with your basis or IS team for opening the ports/access to the mail server.
    Once the connection is established after opening the ports, activate the channel once again and it should work!

  • Schedule workbook using with Unix shell script

    Hi,
    Can we schedule workbook using with Unix shell script?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    I can't imagine how.
    1. You can schedule Disco workbooks via Disco itself.
    2. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via batch scheduler in Windows running Disco Desktop directly (or can user VBasic).
    3. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via a Java program running the Java Command Line interface.
    Moving forward, Oracle has announced that with a further interfacing of Disco with XML Publisher, you'll be able to use Oracle Apps concurrent manager and scheduling. But that's coming supposedly at the end of this year.
    And I think that's about it.

  • 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.

  • Can I share a scheduled workbook?

    We have set up scheduled workbooks as the EUL owner, but cannot figure out how the user can access these scheduled reports using their own db id. The user has access to the original report, but does not have the rights to schedule it themselves. Version 10.1.2.1

    Hi
    If you are using the 10.1.2 Plus version of Discoverer, whether original or patched to 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 then you can do this.
    You simply use Tools | Manage Schedules, pick the existing scheduled workbook and then click the Share button. You can choose which user(s) should have access to the report results.

  • Scheduling workbooks using the command line

    Hi, can anyone tell me if it's possible to schedule workbooks in Discoverer using the command line interface? If so, could you point me in the direction of any relevant documentation?
    We've got 300+ reports to schedule on a regular basis and it would be useful if we had different options to schedule the workbooks e.g. for batch processing.
    Thanks and regards

    Inspired by your MacOS fix, I went looking to see if their was an easier Windows fix than my 'Repair Bonjour' process. Turns out there might be.
    In the Bonjour 'Program Files' folder, there is an application named 'mDNSResponder.exe' which brings up a DOS dialog. After running this application and then opening iTunes, I had a stable AppleTV-iTunes connection through the evening until I put my computer to sleep.
    I haven't done any thorough testing around this (the kind that Apple should have done before releasing iTunes 7.6), but it does seem to at least temporarily resolve the issue until iTunes is closed again. What would be nice is if this works without having to restart a faulty iTunes session (which the 'Repair' fix doesn't).

  • Error Scheduling workbooks

    Hi All,
    I scheduled a report with granting Create Table,View and Procedure Privileges to the user. But it shows
    Error: Isufficient Privileges.
    I have also installed DBMS_JOB package
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi agin,
    all I can suggest is triple checking that...
    In the Disco Admin Tool:
    Navigate to your 'Business Area'
    From the Top Menu:
    1) Tools -> Privileges -> Privileges Tab
    2) Select the EUL Owner from the drop down list
    3) Scroll down the list of privileges and ensure they are all checked... including the 'Schedule Workbooks' option...
    Also - when logged into SQL*Plus as the EUL owner - type in the following command at the prompt...
    SQL> desc dbms_job
    This should return the package header for the DBMS_JOB package and prove that you can see it. Perhaps even check you ave permissions to execute DBMS_JOB...
    Otherwise.... sorry - I've run out of ideas...

  • Prob in opening scheduled workbook

    Hi all,
    When I open a scheduled workbook it gives error ' Internal Error - Unable to generate SQL for this worksheet'.
    Can anyone help.
    Prasath.

    Hi Prasath
    It sounds like a privileges issue, more than likely database privileges.
    First things first though, is this a shared report or one that the user owns themself? If its a shared one then it could be that the user doesn't have access to the business area or one or more of the tables that make up the folders that are used in the workbook.
    If the scheduled workbook is owned by the user then it definitely sounds like a database privilege or two is missing. For users who will be scheduling they need these privileges:
    connect
    resource
    analyze any
    create procedure
    create sequence
    create session
    create table
    create view
    execute any procedure
    global query rewrite
    select any table
    unlimited tablespace
    execute on sys.dbms_job
    select on sys.v_$parameter

    Hi Asim,
    I don't think you can share the results of the scheduled workbook using Desktop. As for Plus, when you're signed on as the other user are you in the same database & eul and are you looking for "scheduled workbooks"?

    Hi
    Thanks for this. A couple of things come to mind. First, it looks like you may have done more than one installation of the Discoverer 10g Admin / Desktop Install and it also looks as though you have an older Discoverer sitting out there, presumably a Discoverer 4 version. How did I spot this?
    Firstly, the name you are using for you 10g installation is BIToolsHome_2. This tells me that you either have 2 or you had a failed install number 1. If you happen to be calling the executable from the first install with the PATH set to the second install this will cause a problem.
    Secondly, Discoverer 4 always installs using the ORANT folder.
    I am not sure what you have inside d:\oracle\bin or even in c:\oracle\discoverer\bin. These could definitely be causing problems elsewhere but probably not impacting Discoverer 10.
    10g Discoverer Admin / Desktop needs these 4 entries in the path and these are there, albeit againt BIToolsHome_2 and not 1:
    C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin;
    C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\jlib;
    C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;
    C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\jre\1.4.2\bin;
    First things first, we need to verify that you don't have an old version 1 hanging around.
    Right-click on the icon to start Admin. In your case it should look like this: C:\Oracle\BIToolsHome_2\bin\dis51adm.exe
    Right-click on the icon to start Desktop. It should look like this: C:\Oracle\BIToolsHome_2\bin\dis51usr.exe
    Please verify the above and let me know if everything looks right.
    Best wishes
