Fails to connect to Discoverer Plus on first login

Hi ,
When a user first logs-in we get an invalid username and password error even though the details are correct. It works the second time.
Please help me in fixing this.
Thanks,
Saraswathi

Check whether the java version is installed properly... Try 32-bit version of java instead of 64 bit..

Error connecting in Discoverer Plus/Viewer 10.1.2

I'm triying to connect to Discoverer Plus or Viewer. When I get to the login screen, fill all the required fields, but I got the following message: "The application encountered an invalid state.
- - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
When I run the checkdiscoverer. It works ok in all the checks except for: "Error: Failed to bind to Discoverer Server.
Hint: Try increasing the timeout by changing the timeout value in opmn.xml.". As the hint said I increased the start timeout, I got it up to 3500 and even incresed the minprocs to see if that helped. Nothing worked.
I'm testing this in a Windows XP Pro SP2 installed 1GB Ram. I Installed the BI Tools, App server but no infrastructure. The Installation process finished without any problems, except for a warning regarding not being able to determine the IP address. I can access all the options of the app server.

Hi Christian
In your connection to the database are you using a DNS named server or are you using an actual IP address?
By this I mean, when you launch Discoverer, do you do it this way:
http://servername.domain.com:7777/discoverer/plus
or this way:
http://ipaddress:7777/discoverer/plus
If you are using the former, can you go to the server itself and run Discoverer ok? If you can then it is a case that your local machine cannot work out what the IP address is. Let's say, for arguements sake, that you server is http://myserver.mydomain.com and that the IP is 192.168.1.100
You could try editing your HOSTS file and inserting a line in there to associate the IP with the domain. To do this, follow this workflow:
1. Right click on Windows Start button and from pop upmenu select Explore
2. Navigate to the folder called Windows/system32/drivers/etc
3. Locate the file called HOSTS
4. Edit this file with Notepad
5. Insert a line like this:
myserver.mydomain.com 192.168.1.100
6 Save the HOSTS file and exit Explorer
This associates the IP with the server name.
Does this help

Error on connecting to discoverer plus

I'm triying to connect to Discoverer Plus or Viewer. When I get to the login screen, fill all the required fields, but I got the following message: "The application encountered an invalid state.

can you please help me out so solve this prob.
the discoverer plus version is 10.1.2.48.18

Currently there is not enough information to realy de-bug the issue. I would look at the URL and verify that the URL with the connections page is the same as after entering the connection information. The URL can change if there is a Load Balancer or Proxy server involved.
Run the Discoverer script below to verify the Discoverer server is up and working.
$MidOH/discoverer/util > . ./checkdiscoverer.sh
Next look in the Discoverer application.log for additional information about the error. It is located at:
$MidOH/j2ee/oc4j_bi_forms/application_deployments/discoverer/oc4j_bi_forms_default_island_1
If these messages do
You are running an older release of 10g. The latest production release of 10g is 10.1.2.3 with Cumulative Patch 6 applied. See Note 237607.1 - ALERT: Required and Recommended Patch Levels For All Discoverer Versions. This Note is kept up to date.

Error while connecting to discoverer plus OLAP

when I try to connect to discoverer plus OLAP I get this error
ERROR:An error occured during OLAP API metadata retrieval,this probably caused by inconsistent metadata
have you idea how to resolve that problem?
Thank you

Hello
Do you have a copy of my Discoverer 10g Handbook? If so, chapter 16 on pages 548 to 612 cover OLAP in some detail. This chapter was written by Mark Rittman, OLAP expert extraordinaire.
He also runs a blog which you may find to be of some help: http://www.rittmanmead.com/blog/
There is at least one Oracle by Example which may help: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/discoverer/discoverer_1012/index.html
There are also some Oracle demonstrations on OLAP on the bottom right hand side of this page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/discoverer/index.html

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.

Problem connecting to discoverer plus

Hello dear colleagues:
I am trying to connect to dicoverer plus from internet explorer browser, and while starting the product, after a file disco5i.jar (5,35MB) has been downloaded, I get this message "Verifing disco5i.jar" and in the window opened I get "loading java suprogram", but theses tasks remain stopped !!!
Anyone could help me ?
Thanks in advance

It could be permissioning on your PC. You need jinitiator installed on your PC. In our firm we cannot install software unless we are logged on as administrator

Trying to connect to Discoverer Plus or Viewer the following error

HI,
I am not sure that this is the correct forum.
The following error occurred: "OracleBI Discoverer has not been started or has been stopped. Discoverer was stopped by your Administrator."
Has anyone had the same problem? We are currently on version 10.1.2.54.25 of Discoverer and 10.1.2.2 of AS (Win2000 server). I did find a document (Bug.4457706) on MetaLink for an earlier version and I verified that start = true in the configuration.xml file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I also noticed that a java.exe process was consuming 100% of the CPU on the server during the same time. Tho, it may be totally unrelated to the Discoverer problem. I have examined most of the log files and can not find anything of relevance yet.
edited to say that I checked opmnctl status and everything was up.
Thanks
Diane

How to hide discoverer connection page after opening discoverer plus?

Hi,
I invoke the following url in browser window 1 to open Oracle DIscoverer Plus.
I notice the browser window 1 will open a window (say i call it browser window 2) to display the Oracle Discoverer Plus application.
Once the Oracle Discoverer Plus java applet is fully loaded, the browser window 1 will show the Connect to Discoverer Plus page.
I wonder if we can configure not to show this page as my users might confuse to see a few existing connections listed there and in fact if possible, I don't want user to see the list of connections.
Anyway to get rid of the page?
Please advise.
Thank you.

I am trying to use URL parameters to keep Discoverer Plus from launching a new window after login. I notice that what works in Discoverer Viewer does not work in Discoverer Plus.
The following works with Discoverer Viewer :
<iframe src="https://cohort50.spinsys.com:8251/discoverer/viewer?framedisplaystyle=embedded"
width="100%" height=100%></iframe>
After Viewer login the next page displays in the same window, just as I want it to.
Discoverer Plus behaves differently. If I try this with Discoverer Plus a new window is launched after successful login. I also tried adding the pluspopup=false parameter to the URL, but the problem remains.
Neither of the following two fragments prevent a new window from launching after successful login to Discoverer Plus :
<iframe src="https://cohort50.spinsys.com:8251/discoverer/plus?framedisplaystyle=embedded"
width="100%" height=100%></iframe>
<iframe src="https://cohort50.spinsys.com:8251/discoverer/plus?framedisplaystyle=embedded&_plus_popup=false"
width="100%" height=100%></iframe>
Does anybody have any advice for me? What must I do?

Discoverer Plus connection error

Hi all,
I installed the Oracle Business Intelligence and its Tools and I created BI_ADMIN for EUL in Discoverer Administrator. But I get the following error when I connect to Discoverer Plus:
The application encountered an invalid state.
- - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
Please guide me for solving this error.
Thanks

Hi
To follow up on the link posted by CD, summarized here:
"The Discoverer network connection configuration uses a DHCP server to get its IP address. In the insallation instructions for the Application Server it suggests using a Microsoft Loopback Adapter and add a line in the HOSTS file to map the host name with the loopback IP.
This procedure appears to work fine with Discoverer 9.0.4, but doesn't always work with Discoverer 10.1.2
The workaround then is to try assigning a static IP to the server and uninstall the loopback adapter. With a static IP most of these connection errors should go away."
I would also add that you have to make sure that a fully qualified domain name is used on the server. If you have already installed Discoverer without a fully qualified domain name you will probably have to wipe the installation and start again.

Change default setting on discoverer/plus

Dear,
when connecting to discoverer/plus or viewer. The first screen, we will see
"Connect to" and the default for this one is "OracleBI Discoverer"
I just wonder if i can set this default to the second option from the drop down box
"Oracle Application"
So anytime when i open discoverer plus it would show "Oracle Application" instead of "OracleBI Discoverer".
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tom

Also if you want to set Oracle Application as the default option to connect then
1. Goto $BIHome\j2ee\OC4J_BI_Forms\applications\discoverer\discoverer\templates
2. Open the file ConnectionAccessTypes.uit
3. change the following
<option value="RELATIONAL" text="${uix.data.nls['text.access.type.RELATIONAL']}"/>
<option value="APPS" text="${uix.data.nls['text.access.type.APPS']}"/>
<option value="OLAP" text="${uix.data.nls['text.access.type.OLAP']}"/>
to
<option value="APPS" text="${uix.data.nls['text.access.type.APPS']}"/>
<option value="RELATIONAL" text="${uix.data.nls['text.access.type.RELATIONAL']}"/>
<option value="OLAP" text="${uix.data.nls['text.access.type.OLAP']}"/>
4. Restart the OC4J_BI_Forms instance for the changes to take effect
Once you did these changes you will find that when connecting to discoverer/plus or viewer, the first screen
"Connect to" shows the default value as "Oracle Application"
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Error D4O-1007 Discoverer Plus

Disable Discoverer Plus workbook wizard popup

Hi,
Does anyone know how to disable the workbook wizard from popping up when you first connect to Discoverer Plus?
Regards,
Gladys

Hi Gladys
Well different tools do it different ways. I have to agree, as I said in another posting, that BO's user interface is nicer than Discoverer's. That said though, Discoverer's out and out querying capabilities are superb and, in my opinion, superior to BO's.
To be honest, for running workbooks, Plus is simply the wrong tool for comparison with BO. Viewer is the tool for that and it does list the worksheets alongside the current workbook. Plus was designed as a development tool, Viewer as the end user tool.
Hope this helps
Regards

Discoverer Plus for OLAP

Hi....
Our company had installed Oracle Application Server 10g and using Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18) and also creating the EUL as the data storage/mapping for our workbooks/reports.
Our company has a plan to use Discoverer Plus for OLAP and already installed the discoverer catalog.
How to create a connection using option "Connect To" OracleBI Discoverer for OLAP ?
What is the diffrence between Discoverer Catalog and Analytic Workspace?
What tools that we must use to create data for OLAP (to create some dimensions, measures etc)?
Any Help will be appreciated
Thanks,
Handoko

Hi Handoko,
You can establish a connection from Discoverer Plus for OLAP, by specifying the database connect information in the form of HOST:PORT:SID (e.g MyServer.com:1521:orcl10g).
The Discoverer OLAP catalog is used to store end-user reports and is installed and maintained using Application Server Control console. It allows you to install the catalog and authorize users to store reports in the catalog. The Analytic Workspace Manager is used to define your multi-dimensional model and load the data from source tables.
Mark Rittman provides some indepth documentation, have a look at the link below :
http://www.rittman.net/2004/11/29/understanding-the-role-of-the-olap-catalog/
& Oracle’s info:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/rittman_olap.html

Hope this helps.
