GL_SECURITY_PKG - R12 Discoverer Reporting - Production Service Unusable

Hi,
We have followed the following note for our R12 upgrade:
R12 Discoverer Reports: Gl_security_pkg.Validate_access Reports Not Working [ID 804113.1]
We set the system profile option: Initialization 'SQL Statement - Custom' for the responsibility to the value 'Begin GL_SECURITY_PKG.init(); end;'
This corrected our problem, and correctly maintained the GL Security Rules in our Discoverer reports.
But since going live in Production, the service is almost unusable because it is causing severe performance with 400 redo logs being generated an hour with calls to the table GL_BIS_SEGVAL_INT. The minute we remove the profile options the service performance is back to normal, but we have no GL Security Rules in Discoverer.
Please can anyone advise/help if they have experienced this before, or can help with an alternative solution?
Many thanks,
Gary

Setting up no of columns in R12 discoverer report

Hi,
We are working on R12 discoverer report.
In the instance when we run the report, by default we see 6 columns and we have to click on link 'Right' to see ther columns.
A logged in user can set the no of columns to 25 or so but this ihas to be done everytime for every user
How can we set the no of columns in the report to say 25 at once? Is this a set up option in the instance or in
BI 10-g Disco admin edition?
Thanks,
Gowtam.

Hi,
You can try changing the ColsPerPage in the Pref.txt on the Apps server and then running ApplyPreferences.sh. See the documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13918_03/prefs.htm#i1008666) for details.

Discoverer Reports does not work in Multi-org Environment after R12 Upgrade

Discoverer Reports does not work in Multi-org Environment after R12 Upgrade. Created a simple report using the below query:
SELECT po_header_id, segment1, type_lookup_code
FROM po_headers
WHERE segment1 = '5000002'
Query works perfectly fine; when i set the ORG_CONTEXT in the database using the command:
EXEC mo_global.set_policy_context('S',129)
But the report doesn't fetch any data when ran from an Org based responsibility. We've ensured that the MO: Operting Unit is set accurately and general Oracle reports (PLSQL Program OR XML Publisher) are working perfectly fine.
===========
I followed the steps provided in Metalink Note: 732826.1 - It works for some responsibilities where the MO: Security Profile is not set; but fails for those responsibilities where the MO: Security Profile is set.
I am looking for specific solution that works irrespective of either the MO: Operating Unit profile is set of not.
Please suggest. Appreciate your response.
Thanks,

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for the quick response.
Yes, I've gone thru both the notes specified below:
Discoverer Workbooks Based On Organization Enabled Views Are Not Populated [ID 1293438.1]
- Tried this option; but this option is messing up a couple of Oracle Standard Functionalities.
- For ex: If i set this profile option; we are not able to create any receipts using Custom Responsibilities.
I am able to create the receipt, when i remove this profile option.
No Data Shows for Reports in Discoverer 10g with Applications Release 12 [ID 1054380.1]
- I see that the products i am running these reports from AR/GL - already exists in these tables.
Anything other options??

Discoverer report not working on R12 !

We have just migrated to R12 from 11i and some of the discoverer query is not working, but the same is working fine when we ran thru SQL Developer or TOAD.
Is there any context (mo_global.set_policy_context) needs to be set in Discoverer report to get the data?
Thanks

Thanks Srini,
There is no any specific error message, the strange thing is if I run the Discoverer report is not returning any data, but if I set the mo_global.set_policy_context ('S',111) in SQL Developer or TOAD and then run the discoverer report it return data...
Any pointers?

Discoverer report with PO_RELEASES in R12

Hi all,
I'm migrating a Discoverer report from 11i to R12. The query of the folder uses the po_releases and this join condition "and rcv_transactions.po_release_id = po_releases.po_release_id(+)". When I run the report I get the error "invalid number" but when I tried the same query but using the po_releases_all it seems to work. Is this ok? I saw that in R12 po_releases is just a synonym, is this correct? I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks in advance.
Gabriela

Thanks Hussein. Yes, I've checked the document you recomend, but the problem seems to be when I try to use po_releases, the synomy) and I don't know why it work with the _all table but not work with the synonym.

Remove Save as option in R12 instance - discoverer reports

Hi,
IN R12 instance discoverer reports we find following option at top-left side of the screen
- Rerun query
- Save as
- Revert to saved
- Export
....etc
Is it possible to remove 'Save as' option? If yes, please suggest how can it be done.
Thanks,
Kamath.

Hi Kamath
The whole of the Viewer interface is customizable, meaning you turn off / on the features you want to see made available to your users. Thus, if you don't want your users to be able to Export you can turn it off.
Rod has commented that the only way you can stop a user from saving a workbook is to turn off that privilege in the Admin edition. This is absolutely correct. Just turning off or disabling the Save and Save As buttons inside Viewer will stop stop a user from saving. What it will stop is the casual saving but if a report has been modified when the user goes to exit they will be asked if they want to save, even with the Save and Save As button disabled. Thus, you do need to remove the privilege.
As for altering the look and feel of Viewer, not only can you decide which buttons to activate / deactivate, but you can also change the base fonts, color scheme and even add your corporate logo. I have been to many organizations who have changed Viewer to have the look and feel of their corporate website.
I hope this information helps
Best wishes

Open Pages from Discoverer Report

Hi,
Is there a way to invoke a webpage or even better, an oracle function (that links to forms or self-service) from a discoverer report row ?
for example, I want a report for employees where the person looking at the report will click on the employee name and is taken straight to the person details page for that employee.
Regards.

Hi,
You can create a link to a form function using fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url. You can create a calculation either in a view or using a calculated item in the EUL (you will have to map the get_run_function_url in the EUL to do this). You then set the content type property of the EUL item to FILE so that when the item is selected in the workbook it appears as a hyperlink.
Most forms in apps except parameters so that you can pass the employee id to the form and the form will open up with the employee record. For example, if you are using a seed HR person form you create a calculation,
fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url(3494      -- PERWSHRG-404
                                     ,800       -- HR
                                     ,fnd_global.RESP_ID     -- caller's responsibility
                                     ,0        -- Business Group
                                     ,         -- Parameters
     'P_PERSON_ID='||TO_CHAR(person_id, 'fm9999999999999')||
     ' P_EFFECTIVE_DATE='||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD'))Rod West

Discoverer report link

Hi guys,
I have created a link to Discoverer report in applications that works beautifully but there is one downside in it. When we invoike the report to launch in Discoverer Viewer it opens in the same browser window. Does anyone know how to make it open in a new browser window? I have looked into ICX: Discoverer parameters and other profile options but could not find anything pertaining to that. Also looked into Function parameters but seems to be missing it. Help, anybody!
Thanks in advance.

Discoverer Report Names

Discoverer Report Naming
Our service Provider has created lot many reports for us and now theres a need for a generic naming to be followed for the Discoverer reports. Could someone tell me how difficult it would be to rename all the reports?
As I could see, theres a dataitem for the Discoverer Report names, I would imagine the report names are somewhere stored in the database as values in a DB table. So if the name of the report is stored in the database in a table , then it is simpler enough to change the value of the column. It would be more of a find and replace command in SQL.But I'm not sure whether this would have an impact on the actual Report name! for our service provider is telling us that they need to open every report in Discovere to rename and store it. Then they need to delete the other report- which I doubt as I'm not sure !
Also I would like to know where and how the names of the Discoverer Reports are saved in the database?
Kindly advice.Many thanks

Hi,
You can inform to your SP to edit the table EUL4_documents
and ask him to modify the name of the report that is stored in the column DOC_NAME .There is absolutely no necessary to open the work book that is stored in the database and change the work book name

Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
Regards,
Brajesh

Pretty hard to answer a question like this. Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out.

Discoverer report runs okay in test system but very slow in live

Hi all
My Discoverer report takes about 5 minutes to run in the test environment. The same report (absolutely the same SQL in the custom folder in the admin edition and the same conditions and sort in the Desktop edition) takes at least 45 mins to run in live.
Has anyone faced a problem like this? How can I speed up my report in the live environment? I am using Discoverer version 4.1.48.06.00
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Aruna

Hey Aruna.
Are you sure the 2 environments are exactly the same (ie: one recently copied to the other)? Reason I'm asking is that if one has many more records, or one has an index, etc. then that would, of course, cause a difference.
What about the time when you're running it? Is the production environment an Apps environment and they're running batch jobs, updating shipping info in the last week of the month, etc?
I would first of all see if the environments are the same by trying something as simple as running the query in TOAD or SQL Navigator or SQL Developer in both environments and then seeing if there's the same difference. If not, then move on to the Discoverer side of things.
If they're still different, then are the Disco environments the same? Have you turned query prediction, etc. off in DEV but not in PROD?
Is the DEV box a hot damn new UNIX box with all the good stuff like oodles of memory, multi-processors, etc? And is the PROD box a Commodore 64? Okay, just kidding on the last test, but you get the idea.
Start at the same relative time (ie: morning). Start TOAD, etc. and see the speed difference there. Then move on to Disco and see the speed difference.
