Discoverer 10G Not Opening Excel after upgrading to JAVA 1.6.0_45

I'm testing Java 1.6.0_45 on EBS version 12.1.3, Discoverer 10G. Everything with EBS is working alright. But when try to export results of a Discoverer report to Excel, it does not automatically open the spreadsheet. We didn't have issue with earlier JAVA version (1.6.0_5). Java console shows the error "java.lang.SecurityException: showDocument url permission denied". Any direction in resolving this error is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Differences between Oracle Discoverer 10g and 11g (EBS & Desktop)

We are in the process of upgrading from Oracle Discoverer 10g testing to Oracle Discoverer 11g.
We have had several requests (from functional users) for documentation that might reflect the changes in this release level. Does anyone have relevant documentation that might help explain what has changed so that they can be better prepared.

We are in the process of going from 10 desktop to 11 plus. I do not like it as other end-users I have talked to don't either. In desktop, I could have multiple reports open at one time, move tabs from one report to another so I wouldn't have to rebuild the report again. Also, there are times I have 3 or more sessions of desktop running with multiple reports running in them. In plus, I am limited to one session and one report. That slows down productivity big time. In desktop, exporting crosstabs to excel is more user friendly than plus. For desktop, it will fill in the cells below with the data above it if it changes. In plus, it looks like a pivot table. I have read other posts on how to work around that, but not always functional. Using Dense_Rank() works sometimes depending on how the report is written. IT is researching another way but haven't heard back from the consultants. Or, I will have to modify all my excel files with formulas to do that for me. Also in desktop, I can select all and copy paste the results into excel and all data comes in. The row and column headers, page items and even the title section will paste into excel. Plus only gives you the data, no row or column headers. So I have to export it every time I need the data. I have formatted excel files that all I need to do is copy paste and data flows beautifully. As for organizing and saving reports, desktop is much better. I can save reports out on our network under different folders so I can find them faster by topic. Granted, if that directory is an open one, anyone can change/delete it. In plus, the only advantage of saving it on the database is I can sort and search for reports or users. If you make any changes in plus and then walk away from your desk, plus will shut down after a certain time period. If you didn't save it, you have to start over. Don't know if this is something IT can fix???
As we see it, plus is a step back in technology. I hope someone can change that opinion. Don't know if we are not getting the best support from whoever is working with us (Oracle or 3rd party) or we are missing something???? If so, please share.
Thanks.

Discoverer 10g

We are currently using Discoverer 4i which comes with Oracle E-Business suite currently. We are planning to install Discoverer 10g.
My question is that reports we use will require any regression testing ?
Also, Our understanding is that we cannot run two instances of Discoverer (4i current and 10g future) at a time.
Please help..
Regards,
Manish

Hi Rod,
One question .. My client wants to run Both 4i and 10g Discoverer in parallel from same instance to test it.
Oracle Note:313418.1 says
As we are migrating your Discoverer 4i End User Layer, the upgrade process creates a new Discoverer 10.1.2 End User Layer based the existing Discoverer 4i End User Layer. The existing Discoverer 4i End User Layer remains unchanged. A new schema containing the Discoverer 10.1.2 End User Layer will be created under the same Database User
We are having our 10g discoverer on different node and 4i on E-Business suite node. I think we can use both the instance in parallel. But for using both what changes I need to make? May be I need to set profile at user level to point to 4i?
In your last update you said e-BS menus can only link to one version .. will this cause any issues?
Also we made below changes in EBS Context file to point to new EBS..
s_disco_standalone     : true
s_disco_machine     : <10g Discoverer Server Host>
s_disco_port          : 7779
s_disco_protocol     : http
s_disco_ver_comma     : 10,1,2
s_disco_eul_prefix     : EUL
s_discostatus          : disabled
I am not sure how I can use both 4i and 10g entries in context file..
Your input is valuable.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Manish

Discoverer 10g, it returns no data

Hi all,
I have a doubt can any one clarifies.
Currently I work migration projects from 4i to 10g discoverer reports (Upgraded 11i to R12). Previously in 4i discoverer reports many views used and data also populated. Same query in discoverer 10g, it returns no data. I can view the data after setting client org id in the toad but can’t view the data in the discoverer reports. Even I tried to register as a function for setting client org id and use in the discoverer reports but result is no rows return. Can any one suggest?
Regards,
Prasanna
no data

Hi,
Check Metalink Note 732826.1. There are some extra steps need to configure R12 with Discoverer.

Discoverer 10G Plus Questions

Hi
We're in the process of upgrading from Discoverer 4 (APPS EUL) to 10G. We're doing away with the Desktop client. Most users will be given access to Discoverer Viewer and other users will be given access to Plus. We have recently upgraded or DEV instance and there are a few "questions" (i.e. gripes) that users have come back to me with:
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?
2) Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.
3) NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.
I'd very much appreciate feedback on any of the 3 points above.
Thanks.
Paul.

Hi paul,
Its a good idea to upgrade from 4i to 10g 4i is no more used by many and their are some issues or bugs with it.The latest version is 11g which has been released 1 week back.If not go with 10g version available.
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?Yes they have to stored in the database so any ened user can access them from plus or viewer.
Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.Yes,if the reports are registered as different reports and if the end user has access to both the reports thn he can open and compare it OR if both reports are in same workbook as different sheets than its easy to view or compare.
NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.It should show blank,might be some problem.In discoverer 10g i think you will not find this issues.
Hope this helps you.
Best Wishes,
kranthi.

How to delete a workbook in Discoverer 10g

Hello guys,
Does anyone know how to delete a workbook from Discoverer 10g? I created a report in Discoverer Plus as SYSADMIN and gave this to my user. My user only has access to Discoverer Viewer. He went and did a "Save As" on this report. Now when he loggs in to Viewer again, he sees two report. One created by SYSADMIN and the on he created. I want to delete the one he created. How do I go about doing this? Can I do it from Discoverer? If so, which one(Viewer or Plus)? Will I have to login as him to do this? Please advise.

Hi,
I'm sorry for the question but you said:
You just login as the user into viewer and delete the workbookWhere do you see the option to delete from the viewer ?
To delete/ manage workbooks you need to login to either Plus or Desktop versions.
And yes you need to log in using the owner user name

Tables or views to be included in Discoverer 10g

Hi,
In our test environment we have migrated to R12 and using Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.55.26). Since there is a way the security has changed I require some help.
In production we are using 11i and the same version of Discoverer. In production I could use the "_v" views or tables where there was in-built security. When a user queries in discoverer, the user would be able to view data only pertaining to his/her responsibility.
In our test environment please can someone help me for the following (R12 with Disc 10g)
Which is the "_v" views or tables or "where clause to restrict the access" to user in discoverer wherein based on the users responsibility, the data will be displayed.
GL Balances
GL Hearder & Details
AR Balances
Receipts
AR Invoice header & lines & distribution
AP Balances
AP Invoice header & lines & distribution
Payment Overview
Prepayment Enquiry
Kindly note, regardless of the security setup in the R12, I would want a "_v" views or tables or "where clause" which can be used always.
If there is solution based on "_v" views or tables and a solution also based on "where clause", which would be ideal to use in terms of performance.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ajay

You can use the eTRMs to get this information.
Follow this link https://etrm.oracle.com/pls/trm11510/etrm_fndnav.ls_apps or search for eTRM in Metalink (you'll need a Metalink login to access the eTRMs).
Go to the FND tab and choose the product OTA - Learning Management. This will give a list of all the relevant tables. OTA_EVENTS and OTA_DELEGATE_BOOKINGS would be a good place to start.
Hope this helps,
Kim

Portal integration with E-Business and Discoverer 10g

Hello Everyone,
We have a R12 integrated with SSO/OID. We also have a standalone Oracle BI Discoverer 10g. We want to implement Oracle Portal here. One of the requirements of this project is to have a common home page for both E-Business Suite login as well Discoverer access. Right now E-Business Suite login is seperate and Discoverer home page is seperate (because it comes from a Standalone installation)
1) What are the benefits of having AS Portal 10g for end users ?
2) To begin with, we would like to go with the minimum portlets.
3) Is it possible to have a common home page for both E-Biz access and the Discoverer acess after Portal integration ?
4) Do you have some screenshots of how things look after Portal integration
-Thanks
Srinivas

Hi,
take a look in metalink Note:313418.1. :
"Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i"
Look in section 6 - post installation.
Follow the steps and have a very good luck.

Some Calculations are not working in Discoverer 10g after upgrade from 4.1

Hi Gurus,
We are recently upgraded Oracle Discovere 10g from 4.1, some calculations are not working in Discoverer 10g. I appreciate if you could fix below calculation(s) in 10g.
CASE WHEN TRUNC("Expenditure Item Month") = '31-JAN2007' THEN SUM(Wtd Qty A) WHEN TRUNC("Expenditure Item Month") = '28-FEB-2007' THEN SUM(Wtd Qty A) WHEN TRUNC("Expenditure Item Month") = '31-MAR-2007' THEN SUM(Wtd Qty A) END
Thanks & Regards
Vikram

Sabra,
Not sure exactly what this might be... there could be an issue there.
Please make sure that you review the upgrade.log. Are there any errors / warnings?
Also, you might wanna peek the Metalink Note:262623.1 - Master Note for OracleAS Portal Upgrade Issues, where you'll find some nice things where to start looking at.
Later you may wanna open a Service Request into the Oracle Support.
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

Discoverer 10g and Java 7- Anyone Document Incompatibilities

Hi All,
To provide a clearer picture to my IT steering committee, I am documenting Discoverer 10g / Java 7 incompatibilities. As a company we are on Java 6 because of our Oracle Apps 12.1.3 implementation (we are not ready yet to make the jump to Java 7 on the apps side).
Anyways, I have done some documentation of issues associated with Java 7 and Discoverer 10g, but I wanted to know if others have done some documentation.
Here is my short list:
-Can not enter text in the "name contains:" field associated with the "Open Workbook from Database" dialog box.
-Can not edit column headings while editing workbooks.
Any other issues people have noticed would be helpful. I need to build a case for migrating to Discoverer 11g (which is compatible with Java 7).
Thanks,
Patrick

M. Schroeder,
Thanks for sharing your situation.
Of course, trying to use Java 6 on the Discoverer Application Server side and Java 7 on the client side with Plus does not seem/sound like the smartest thing for us to being doing. Certainly, this is not certified.
Our intentions are to eventually migrate to OBIEE with OBIA, but a migration will be a large project and take some time. There is hope that nothing needs to be done and everything will be okay in the interim.

Exception Handling in Discoverer 10g

I am using a PL/SQL function which will return a value to a column in Discoverer 10g .I want to give a custom message in discoverer if any error occurs in that function.Is it feasible in Discoverer?

I don't think Disco will do this by itself.
You could try having the function perform the error handling and either pass back a value or a message. A potential drawback would be that the function would have to return a character datatype.
