Export issue in discoverer plus (10G)

I'm unable to export the report result into either excel or text file from discoverer plus.
Error message is "Operation Failed".
Please help me in resolving this in discoverer 10G.

Hi, I happened to come across Murali's thread here while searching for something else.
If anyone is interested, the resolution was MetaLink Note 401600.1 (Exporting To Xls/Cvs/Txt Formats With Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) Plus or Viewer Fails With 'Error Operation Failed').
It involved deleting dc* files from the temporary directory we have identified for exporting temporary files. The temporary directory was full.
Once the dc* files were deleted, it resolved the export to XLS from Discoverer Plus issue for us this time.

  • Menu "Export" in Oracle Discoverer Plus 10g

    Hi..
    Is there anyone knows how to hide "Export" menu in OracleBI Discoverer Plus 10g ?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Handoko

    I have a T420 Lenovo with dual video card configuration is causing the Discoverer Plus 10g views to not refresh correctly.
    I was able to find a solution to this issue. It requires the following changes in the system BIOS.
    •     In BIOS under Config -> Display ->Change the Graphics Devices to Discrete
    •     In BIOS under Config -> Display ->OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus -> Changed to Disabled
    Now system will only use the Nvidia Card versus the dual card configuration (Nvidia + Intel HD Graphics)
    Discoverer Plus works correctly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Joining tables in Oracle BI Discoverer Plus 10g

    My company just implemented Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g and I'm a little confused. It looks like this new version of Discoverer was created with the idea of "simplifying" things for the end user. But it seems to be lacking crucial features that our power users need. Like writing their own SQL statements.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? What version of Discoverer should our advanced user's use? Can you suggest another tool? We could always give them SQL Developer, but this seems like overkill. It seems like Oracle has ignored a certain market segment. That is the power user segment. There are many users who can write SQL but do not work in IT. SQL Developer is too much but Discoverer is not enough.

    Hi
    These days, Oracle is much more accepting of carrying on and even improving legacy products, so long as there’s customers willing to pay support fees.
    You just have to see what happened to JD Edwards. When Peoplesoft purchased this several years ago they hardly made any improvements to it and it was being run into the ground. When Oracle purchased Peoplesoft they acquired JD Edwards too but rather than letting the slide continue they have actually have been actively improving it. So much so, that they have issued a major upgrade, thus prolonging the life of JD Edwards for years to come. Oracle could easily have let it slip into obscurity and told the JD Edwards' customers that they needed to convert to E-Business Suite, but they didn't. This is despite the fact that JD Edwards runs on one of their prime competitor's platforms, the IBM AS400!
    So you see, Oracle are not going to cut off their nose to spite their face. I think Oracle has being very professional with regards to the products that it has acquired. They don't seem to be acquiring them with the intention of dropping them. They seem to be genuinely interested in market share and keeping customers happy. At least that's the way recent acquisitions have played out - like Siebel Analytics - aka OBI Enterprise Edition.

  • Discoverer Plus 10g Title & Table Viewing Size

    Is there a way to increase the screen resolution of the title and table area in Discoverer Plus 10g? The font size says 10pt, but on the screen it looks more like 4pt. I couldn't find any settings in Plus to change it. Thanks, Amy.

    Cause
    By default in Discoverer Plus 10.1.2 fonts are rendered smaller in Java
    than in other Windows applications.
    Already saved workbooks will not have any change in font and formats even if
    your default fonts are changed unless these workbooks are explicitly opened and
    modified for using new fonts. The cause for this behavior is that when
    workbooks are saved, font information is also along with it. This is very lengthy approach if you have over 1,000 upgraded workbooks.
    Solution
    To implement the solution, for existing/upgraded workbooks please execute the following steps:
    Set AdjustPlusFontSize = "True" in pref.txt file.
    This setting will make Discoverer Plus to display the font size correctly. It specifies whether Discoverer Plus Relational adjusts the font size to correct a discrepancy in the Java virtual machine, resulting in a smaller font size than other Windows applications.
    true = adjust font sizes
    false = do not adjust font sizes
    1.Navigate to <Discoverer Home>/discoverer/util directory.
    2.Edit pref.txt file and modify the setting as
    AdjustPlusFontSize = "true"
    under [Application] section
    3.Run the script applypreferences.sh

  • Emailing from discoverer plus 10g

    Hi,
    Please help on the ff question posed to me from our client who just had Discoverer Plus 10g implemented at their sites.
    1. The old vs 3.1 desktop had the ability to send a report in an e-mail attachment to many recipients as a .dis file. This feature is no longer available. Is there plans to include this in future releases?
    2. The old 3.1 vs was also able to save and open reports from the file system. This is no longer available on plus 10g. Is there plans to also include this feature in newer releases of plus.
    pls advise.
    thanks
    saliha

    Hi Saliha
    The new 10g Desktop still has the email feature, as does the 10g Viewer tool. I doubt very much that Oracle will add emailing to Plus because Viewer is where the users are supposed to run their reports. Plus is a developer tool so I think you will be out of luck. Many folks that I go to initially say they don't like Viewer but that is because they have no idea what it can do. After I have given training every company so far tell me they will be using Viewer for end users (viewers), with Plus being reserved only for the report writers.
    As for saving to the file system from Plus, as you say this does not exist. Oracle do have this under consideration. I thought it was scheduled for the next release but I don't think it made it. We'll just have to wait and see. Like you, I would like to see it.
    Sorry about this, please don't shoot the messenger :-)

  • Strange Problems with Discoverer Plus 10g

    Hello All -
    I'm working an exercise to bring an application online which uses Discoverer Plus 10g as its client. This application is located in an area that I don't have access to, so the symptoms I'll describe have been reported to me by users.
    1) When users log into Discoverer Plus and it launches, it does so with the iconic menu buttons (located below the pull-down menus) disabled and grayed-out. The users are forced to do all operations using the pull-down menus. This is a problem that is consistent across different PCs.
    2) When users do File....Save As.... the "Save Workbook to Database" window opens and the user is unable to modify the filename in the "New name" text field. If the user toggles the "View:" setting at the top of the window, they can then change the filename. This problem has only been reported by 2 users, but it's happening for them consistently.
    3) When a user creates a new report using File....New... the Workbook Wizard opens and all is normal until the "Workbook Wizard - Step 2 of 5: Select Items" page appears. On the items tab, the user activates the pull-down list to select the business area they want to use, and the business area name disappears when the users mouses-over it. So the user must click on the blank business area name to continue. This is a problem that is consistent across different PCs.
    A number of the users' PCs have two Java versions installed on them like this:
    Platform     Product
    1.4     1.5.0_14
    1.5     1.4.2_16
    I had them make sure that 1.5.0_14 is the only one enabled, but that did not remedy any of the above problems.
    At this point I don't know what to try next.
    All help is greatly appreciated.
    Patrick

    Try the 1.4.2_06 java version
    I suggest you remove other java version and stay with just one.
    I do not remember but from some point the java version will use the higher there is and java 1.5 from my experience
    is not working with the discoverer so well.

  • Export workbooks in discoverer plus

    hi
    I am not able to export discoverer workbook as .dis from discoverer plus.
    how to do this
    Should I follow only command prompt?
    From discoverer admin i am able to export a workbook as .eex ..But i wonder how to import this workbook.eex into discverer desktop ?
    thanks
    kp

    Hi,
    .dis format is specific to Discoverer Desktop . This saves the workbook on the windows pc where Discoverer Desktop is running. Discoverer Plus does not have the option to save workbook on local system.
    .eex format is specific to Discoverer Admin and it contains metadata info including BAs,Workbook etc.
    In order to import .eex files you have to use Discoverer Admin . It can not be imported using Discoverer Desktop.
    Thanks,

  • Connection to Discoverer Plus (10g) lost when exporting workbook to Excel

    I have a user who was exporting a workbook to Excel and it showed that the export failed. When she closed that box, she got a message that her Connection to Discoverer was lost.
    Anyone experienced this one? Any ideas why this is happening?
    Cindy

    Hi Kevin
    It will do this if you change the parameters away from the default and you have told Discoverer to remember parameter settings. This is controlled by an entry called SaveLastUsedParamValue in pref.txt on the server.
    If this is the cause then its not a bug. All Discoverer thinks is that you have changed something. Even switching an item in Page Items could trigger this.
    If you have users who only need to View reports why not use Viewer? You can turn off saving altogether there if you so wish.

  • Need Urgent Help on Calculation items issue In Discoverer Plus

    Dear Discoverer Experts,
    I would need help on the below scenario:
    A
    147644.08
    147644.08
    Maximum: 147,644.08
    B

    Sum: 147,644.08
    C
    5149.43
    142494.65
    0
    Here A, B, C are columns and C column is Calculated Item(A-B) and Maximum and Sum are Totals items, everything working fine.
    The intent is that I would need the difference between totals items I mean Maximum and Sum , i.e Maximum-Sum (147,644.08 - 147,644.08) =0(in this case), but I am not able to get it, can anyone help me on this that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    But when i create new calculation item for examle TEST with calculation MAX(A) over () - SUM(B) over ()
    then i am getting new column next to C with name TEST and with two rows of data with 0 (Zero)

    if not possible then after adding coumn TEST next to C column can we get ZERO in the row as MAX and SUM
    either way would be fine, can any one hlep on this issue.

  • Export to EXCEL 4m Discoverer Plus/Viewer doesnt retain Header Formatting ?

    Hi,
    I am trying to export reports from Discoverer Plus and Viewer to XCEL
    but the Header's Formatting like Bold and Background Color etc are
    not being exported as seen in Plus.
    Could you please advice on how to make this happen.
    Thanks,

    i tried this option..but the problem is as follows

    i.e the export to HTML is retaining the format but it is putting the heading into multiple cells..there by making it look bad when opened in Excel.
    Wheras in EXCEL export it doesnot retain formatting like Bold,etc it merges all the cells of teh first row and is putting it there which is much better to view.
    Is there anything we can do about it ??

  • Discoverer Plus : Printing title issue

    Hi,
    Page title doesn't print all the time. Sometimes it's printed and sometimes it's not without changing anything in the report!
    Do you know why?

    Are you talking about printing out of Discoverer Plus? I am thinking you are, because you did not mention Discoverer Viewer nor Discoverer Desktop versions. I have noticed the same thing happening myself. Have not bothered to report this to support, since most of the time the workbooks will be executed in Discoverer Viewer, where the printing seems to be okay. You may want to check your print setup to make sure you have specified to print the heading, and if you want on every page or just on the first page, just in case you have not considered this possibility. Hope this helps a bit.

  • Views not available in Discoverer Plus

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created some views using Oracle 10 g Disco Admin v 9.0.4 and I am able to access them from Disco Desktop v 9.0.4
    However, when I log in to Discoverer Plus, those views are not available. I am logging with the same user id that I am using for desktop. Some of the users who are on the previous version of Disco Desktop are facing the same problem. First I thought it might be a version mismatch issue, but now it is happening with Disco Plus too.
