Export workbooks in discoverer admin

hello
I am able to export workbooks from discoverer admin. in DEV env.
The file is in '.eex' format.
How can I import '.eex' file into Discoverer Desktop in Test env.
If i import the same .eex file into Discv Admin @ Test..How can i open it in Desktop@Test.
Appreciate any feedback
thanks

Hi Tamir,
As i was having only discoverer plue in 11i i can only export using disc.admin.
Disc plus dont have options for this
THanks a lot for your tip..It worked
I selected
Refresh The Object
and "By Identifier"
I checked only take ownership if original owner can not be found
and it worked fine
I have few more clarifications
1)
When I click on =Refresh the object
there is a check box at the bottom says: Preserve Display Related Properties
Should I check it or not
2)
Also when I open the workbook under my name
workbook was opening only with this option->
Open the workbook in the current database account
If the workbook is asking if i need to substitute a join, I may need to do that right?
thanks

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,

Re-scheduling workbooks from Discoverer Admin

Hi All,
We have Discoverer integrated with Oracle Applications.
When logging into Discoverer Admin as EUL owner, it is possible to re-schedule workbooks scheduled by other users by navigating to 'Tools->Manage Scheduled Workbooks...' and clicking on the 'Edit' button for a workbook. It allows to change date/time of when the report should be executed and successfully updates the Discoverer meta-data tables in the EUL. However, the dbms job associated with the workbook is not re-scheduled, so the report is executed at the original time.
I am not very familiar with the Discoverer, but my feeling is that it is not properly configured in our installation. Any advise on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Denis

Hi,
You can move the workbooks by using a Discoverer export/import from Administrator.

Export workbooks not sharded with the oracle Discoverer Administrator

Can anyone tell me how to export workbooks which are not shared with the discoverer administrator.
When I use the command line dis4adm.exe /connect userid/password@db /export destination / workbook "workbookname' it toes only funtion for workbooks shared with the discoverer administrator.
Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Marc
The only mechanism to export Discoverer workbooks using the 4.1 Administrator tool is to use the command line.
However, there are severe restrictions on functionality. These are:
- Only the owner of a workbook can export a workbook. Discoverer administrators do not have the power to export end user workbooks, therefore user accounts need to be temporarily granted administration privileges during the process
- There is no mechanism to export “ALL” workbooks for a user account. They have to be named explicitly on the command line
- Workbooks must be exported on a user by user basis because there is no mechanism to export workbooks for multiple users at the same time
Drop me an email because I have a white paper that explains in detail how to export workbooks in 4.1 using the Administrator tool.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Hello
I have a free document on my downloads page at: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm called Workbook Migration Guidelines. It is a PDF and while it specifically talks about migrating from Discoverer 4i to 10g you could easily use the information inside to export from one EUL to another EUL at the same level using different users. I think you might find this a useful document.
Rather than export using the command line, in 10g you can use Administrator and export workbooks using selected objects from the database.

Problem exporting workbooks from development EUL to test EUL

I have created some workbooks in a Development EUL. We want to promote them to a test EUL for users to test on. I shared my workbooks to both my boss's user name, and to the responsiibility that he uses when he does Discoverer Admin stuff. In development, my boss is able to see these workbooks. He can open them and run them. So my boss did one export out of development and into test for the business area. That went just fine and he can see the business area and its folders in the test EUL. So next he did a new export out of development, picking my workbooks. As the workbook owner, I do NOT exist at this time in the test EUL. When my boss did the import of that workbook .eex file into the test eul, we got a security warning message on each workbook. Since I did not exist, on the import it should not matter which option you pick - either make the admin user the owner out right, or make owner only if owner does not exist. My boss is not able to see the workbooks we imported. The main Discoverer administrator says the workbooks did get imported. So we are puzzled as to why he cannot see them. Has anyone run into a situation like this before? Any ideas on what might be happening to us? Is it possible that we have run across a programming error in Discoverer admin? Thanks for any time and assistance on this.

Well, what we ended up doing is that in the development EUL, I shared the workbooks to the responsibility that my boss uses. My boss then exported the workbooks out of development and imported to the test EUL. In the import wizard he specified to rename the existing objects. Import log shows objects being renamed and then a successful import completion. My boss can now see the workbooks in the test EUL. So while he could see and run in development shared to user name, it seems as if when imiporting, the responsibility somehow takes over and is required. We are waiting to see if the test user can see the workbooks (currently shared to user name), or if will need to have the test user give us a responsibiity to share to. Beginning to wonder why Oracle even gives us the option to share to a user name if it won't always work.

Export option in discoverer viewer

Hi All,
I am using oracle 9ias discoverer and i need to remove export option from discoverer viewer page.
I made changes in ui_config.xsl and also unchecked the export data option from preferences page, but it is not reflected in my workbook. when i click on the export data link, a new page is displayed with a combo to select export format and when i click on apply button it forwards to connection page.
Can anyone please tell me why it is happening like this and how to resolve it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Mukesh Harjai

I assume you are following the directions in Chapter 10 - "Customizing Discoverer Viewer" of the Oracle9iAS Discoverer Configuration Guide.
You should be able to remove the Export link.
If you are still struggling with this please log an SR/TAR to get detailed help from Support.

Where can i see which user(s) has access to Discoverer Admin or desktop?

Hello
I am new to a company. Where can i see which employees have access to Discoverer Admin and / or Desktop editions?
So i want to know 2 things:
1. Who are the discoverer users in the company?
2. What reports do they have access to?
thank you
Edited by: iandekoker on Feb 20, 2009 2:46 PM

Hi,
If the user has Discoverer Administrator/User installed on there PC then they will have access to the tools. They will also need Admin or Desktop access to the Discoverer EUL. You can install the Discoverer V5 Business Area and run the EUL Management workbook to see all the Discoverer users, what privileges they have and which workbooks have been shared to the users/roles. See metalink note 556932.1 for details of how to install this Business area which is shipped with Discoverer Admin.

Discoverer Admin - Convert Db Object folders to custom SQL folders

Hi,
We are operating in a non-Apps EUL and have a large number of folders, with associated joins, reports etc, based directly on objects in the database (i.e. they were created using the 'new folder from database...' dialog).
We'd now like to add some SQL logic into these EUL folders - is it possible to convert these folders to Custom folders within Discoverer Admin? or will I have to recreate the folders, joins, reports etc from scratch?
Alternatively, is it possible to take an existing report and point it to the new Custom SQL folders without having to rebuild the report?
Any help much appreciated,
Ien Hien

Hi
Discoverer embeds the names of folders and joins into a workbook.
If you want to change a workbook from one folder to another you would have to do the following:
1. Examine the join names between the original folder and other folders
2. Change the name and identifier of the old workbook - try adding old to the end
3. Edit the joins and rename them and their identifiers too
4. Rename the new folder and identifier to match the old folder - these have to be exactly the same
5. Add joins between the new folder and the other folders, once again naming exactly the same as the old joins
6. Make sure all of the item names exist in the new folder
7. Hide the old folder so that the users see only one folder
8. Open your workbooks - they now should run
If workbooks still fail to run this means you have named a folder name or identifier wrong or named a join wrong.
Hope this helps
Regards
Michael

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

Importing PL/SQL function in Discoverer Admin

Gents
I'm trying to import a PL/SQL function. In fact this functions is in a package.
When I try to import in Discoverer Admin, I'm not able to see this package and the function.
It's possible import a function from a package in Discoverer?
Must a grant some privilege in package or create a synonym?
Regards
Honorio

Hey,
I have a similar problem.
I created a PL/SQL Function which i registered in my EUL. Bun when I'm using this function on an item in a custom folder, this custom folder disappeared from my Discoverer Plus list of folders? When I delete the item which uses this function the folder shows up in my Discoverer Plus list of folders.

Cannot See Database Tables in BI Discoverer Admin

Hello All -
My organization recently upgraded to Discoverer 10g from Discoverer 4i. In 10g the EUL is called BIEUL and in 4i it was called V9EUL. During the upgrade, all the Business Areas belonging to V9EUL in 4i were assigned to BIEUL in 10g. I'm not sure how our DBA accomplished this part of the upgrade.
When I'm logged into BI Discoverer Admin (version 10.1.2.00.00) I am unable to see the database tables in order to create folders from them. For instance, today I want to create a brand new Business Area so I click on File...New to start the Load Wizard then I click on "Create a new business area" then I specify to load the meta-data from the on-line dictionary and click the "Next"button. In the next window (Load Wizard: Step 2) I can see all the available users as I expect so I check the user I want and click 'Next".
Here's the point where the problem arises. In the window "Load Wizard: Step 3" I see the user I chose in the "Available" list on the left, but when I click on + to see the tables owned by the user it does not expand and I cannot go any further.
I experienced the same thing when I try to add a "New Folder from Database" to an already-existing Business Area.
Many Thanks in Advance,
Patrick

At first it sounds like it's a simple matter as the EUL owner not having the rights to see the tables / views pointed to by the EUL (grants).
However, the part about the DBA where you say all BAs belonging to V9EUL in 4i wre assigned to BIEUL in 10g, I hope the DBA didn't do anything fancy. All the EUL manager should have to do is fire up the new version of Disco Admin 10g and it will see that the existing EUL is a version 4 one and will ask if you want to upgrade. Saying yes, you will get an entirely new EUL, tables, etc. created pointing to the same database tables / views as your still existing v4 EUL is.
So you'll have 2 EULs - a v4 one and a v10 one as it's not a destructive upgrade.
Is it possible the DBA hacked something? - or just a grants problem to the new EUL owner?
