Exporting Discoverer Worksheet to a predefined Fax layout
We have a requirement to export a Discoverer workbook of contact names and fax numbers into a fax template. i.e. each page of the fax would be addressed and sent to a different row returned by the discoverer report.
This sounds more like a Reports / XML publisher solution to me.
However, anyone done anything like this with Discoverer?
Hi,
Any Discoverer solution would be based around a script that exported the contact names and fax numbers from Discoverer into an csv or xml file and then used MS Word mail merge or other package to generate and send the fax template.

Script to export Discoverer worksheets automatically
Dear All,
Is there a way to create a script to export Discoverer worksheets into excel and save them in a dedicated directory.
We are using Discoverer to create worksheets but we have a huge number of worksheets. We run the reports and export them manually in order to use them in excel files. We want to automate this process.
Please advice,
ThanksHi,
Yes there is more than 1 way,
1. You can use the windows command line on the computer where discoverer desktop is installed:
create a batch file containing the commands for exporting a workbook to XLS.
The format is:
<the path to the discoverer home>\dis51usr.exe /connect <user>/<paswword>@<DB Environment> /apps_user /apps_responsibility <Responsibility> /opendb <workbook name> /export XLS "Path for the export and file name" /batch
* I am using oracle apps so I need the responsibility as well, if you are using a DB user then drop that part...
for example, look at the following batch:
echo off
cls
title Export Workbook For Discoverer
md C:\Workbooks\%date:~-7,2%_%date:~-9,1%_%date:~-4,4%
start /wait C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\BIN\dis51usr.exe /connect ADMIN/AD1234@Test1 /apps_user /apps_responsibility <Responsibility> /opendb "Test for Export" /export XLS "C:\Workbooks\%date:~-7,2%_%date:~-9,1%_%date:~-4,4%\Test For Export" /batch
echo The Export Ended, You can look in the LOG File.
echo.
echo off
exit
2. you can use the java command line and then use it on your server but for that you will need to do a little research. -

Exportable version worksheet is something whose data can be exported( for example to excel sheet).
This query version worksheet is something which basically lumps like info together.

Ways to put Multiple discoverer worksheets in a single Portlet
Hi all
Can anybody suggest me ways to put Multiple discoverer worksheets in a single Portlet. (10G release 2)
- Out of the box (no coding option)
- Java Beans options
Note:- the discoverer sheet portlet allows only 1 workseet.
Would appreciate any pointers/help in this regard
Cheers!!
PuneetNo - you don't need data in the same portlet to display them together.
A given page holds many portets - dependent as well as independent. That's the purpose of a portal, Oracle as other vendors - to bring together information from different systems (and the same system) and put it together on the same page to give a general picture of the situation.
Make two portlets - and make a page where you can add portlets side by side (either use two regions, or have one region that groups the portlets in columns) and place the two porlets there. They'll appear to the user on ONE page.
If you want the users to be able to place the two porlets indepently of your design, but always place them together, make a simple page where you do the layout and publish the page as a porlet. The users then get access to this porlet.
The simpler the porlets, the more of them, the more flexible and better performing website you get (remember, porlets are rendered in PARALLEL by Portal). -
How can I export Discoverer reports automatically from within PLUS ?
Hi,
I want to export Discoverer Repors it to PDF file. I can manually export my report as an PDF file, Now I would like to run this report and export the
PDF once a day automatically. Has anyone done something like this on
a Windows server?
I am using Discoverer (Oracle Discoverer 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1), there is no Desktop version anymore, so I am using PLUS version, how can I apply this through PLUS version.
Any help.
Thanks,
HaniDo NOT attempt to use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD. This class and method is for use through the SAPGui and will NOT work within BSP. This information is completely incorrect!
There are lots of existing Weblogs on this subject. Have a look through them for solutions that do work.

Discoverer worksheet: working with data between multiple sheets
Hi All,
Is there a way to use data between multiple discoverer worksheets? What I am trying to do is combine data from different worksheets and display that data in another sheet. I believe it is not possible in discoverer at the moment (I might be wrong). I am not being able to do this any other way, because the data to be calculated requires user input. Which is (to my knowledge) only possible by using parameters via the worksheets. If there is a workaround, please let me know.
RegardsYour best best is a custom folder within the EUL and then create the parameters based on the custom folder.
If you don't want to do that you can join can create bogus joins between two folders by created an item called "join" or something like that and then get all the tables pulled into each other. Performance will likely be messy and require careful use of conditions, summations, etc... due to the fact the join will essentially be a Cartesian join of two tables.
To answer your direct question: No, there is no way to reference other worksheets for display purposes within discoverer. -

PuneetHi Puneet,
Discoverer portlets do not require any knowledge of code, Java beans, HTML, or any other programming construct. They are probably the simplest and easiest to use business intelligence portlets in the market today, and most customers I show these to are simply amazed at their power and user friendliness.
Anyway, to answer your question:
- You can choose to have one table (or crosstab) and one graph in one Discoverer portlet.
Note that since a Discoverer portlet is published on a Portal page, you do not have to worry about having or not having the capability to publish more than one Discoverer worksheet to a single portlet. By adding multiple Discoverer portlets to a single (or multiple) Portal pages you can achieve the same effect.
Discoverer is a portlet provider to Oracle Portal. This means that any Discoverer worksheet - table, crosstab, or any of the 50+ graph types - can be published to an Oracle Portal page without any coding. This is the Discoverer Worksheet portlet.
A second Discoverer portlet is the List of Worksheets portlet, which allows you to publish a list of worksheets to a Portal page as a portlet.
The third Discoverer portlet type is the Gauge portlet. This allows you to publish a Discoverer crosstab worksheet as a Gauge (dial) visualization, allowing you to create dashboards.
For more information take a look at the "Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Publishing Workbooks in Oracle Application Server Portal" doc, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1), Part No B14465-02

OmniPortlet parameter passing to another portlet (discoverer worksheet )
how can i use omniportlet's simple parameter form to pass parameter to the other portlet(discoverer worksheet portlet)?
PLS help
Korhan YUNAKHello,
The current version of Discoverer Portlet does not support Page Parameter. This is planned for the next release of the portlet.
The demonstrations available on http://portalstudio.oracle.com/portaltools will show you step by step how to use the Simple Parameter Form to raise an event, that will send parameters to a portal page.

Adding Discoverer Worksheet leaves space at the top of the page in Portal
hi guyz
I have put an image on the top of the page. When I add a discoverer worksheet on the remaining part, it leaves a small space on the top of the page thus bringing the image a bit down.
If I remove that worksheet, it behaves normally.
quick replies appreciated.Try editing your region display properties.

Is there a reason why you need that much data in a one report? It will take a long time to load or browse around. I suggest you make these reports smaller for your users. -
In which tables are the sharing information stored for Discoverer worksheets. How can I find out all the worksheet shares in a particular eul
The workbooks and business area Gianluca mentioned are the best place to start, and a great way to learn your way around the EUL tables. But, for a query, you can start with:
SELECT ownr.eu_username as owner,
docs.doc_name as workbook,
shrd.eu_username as shared_with,
priv.ap_created_date as shared_on
FROM eul5_eul_users ownr,
eul5_documents docs,

Method of calling the Discoverer worksheets
Hi..
I made worksheets(workbook) using the Discoverer plus.
I want to call that worksheets into the BI Beans(using JDeveloper).
How??
I use OLAP Catalog or BI Beans Catalog.
But I don't know how to import the Discoverer worksheets into catalog
and..
how to call that worksheets into the BI Beans??
and...
which catalog?? OLAP Catalog or BI Beans Catalog??
Thanks..
May..This is technically not possible as BI Beans has no concept of a worksheet. In theory you could view saved calculations and saved selections within the Discoverer OLAP catalog, but you cannot access the presentations within the workbooks.
We are looking to resolve this in the next major release of Oracle BI, but there are no release dates at the moment.
Thanks
