How to timeout a Discoverer session in Discoverer 4.1.48 Client-Server

Hi Comunnity,
My question is simple: Is it possible to establish a tiimeout to a Discoverer session, but not for the WEB sessions, but those sessions runned from the Client-Server Tier (using the Discoverer Desktop Edition).
We are using the 4.1.48 Discoverer Version, and we want to limit the time that the users are inactive with its sessions.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi Gianluca,
Sorry for answer this post so late, but now we have taking again this matter.
We have just created a profile:
create profile discoverer limit
sessions_per_user default
cpu_per_session default
cpu_per_call default
connect_time default
idle_time 5 (we put 5 minutes only to test)
logical_reads_per_session default
logical_reads_per_call default
compose_limit default
private_sga default;
commit;
As we do not know which values we have to put for all other parameters we left the DEFAULT value for this parameters. We are interested only in the IDEL_TIME parameter, in order to limit the idle tiime.
Then we assign this profile to an user (GENERAL), which is a databaser user and a Discoverer User, wit the following sentence:
alter user GENERAL profile discoverer;
commit;
In order that these changes will work, we alter the system with the following command or sentence:
alter system set resource_limit = true;
commit;
We have bounced the database, but it seems that the profile does not work, cause the user is still connected to the database, cause it can make new queries in discoverer.
Had we made anything wrong?
Thanks in advance.

How long is it to implement JSSE on a client-server architecture?

Hi all of you,
Since I'm not a developper but more a system admin, I'm wondering how long approximatly it would take to adapt an existing JAVA client-server architecture to use JSSE or SSL communication over the internet. Is it a simple task or are we talking about weeks of work? Where would be installed the SSL certificate, on the web server or the database server? In brief, what are the main steps that a developper has to go through?
Architecture:
JAVA client
Web server (RMI server), Microsoft IIS5.0
Database server (MySQL4.0)
Thanks you all for your precious time,
AD

If your webserver has a server certificate from one of the "Big Boys" in the CA business, and if you don't need client-authentication (and almost no-one does) - in your client, write "SSL" in front of everywhere the app currently has the word "Socket", and scratch out "HttpUrl" and replace it with HttpsUrl,." and change your access-urls to start with "https:" and change your socket-connections to talk to your server's SSL port, and you're done. I've taken a Socket-based app and made it SSL/Plain bilingual in two hours once (admittedly, it was a small and well-designed app).
If your server-cert isn't signed by a known CA, then you have to play some games to get the client side to accept it - but they've all been discussed to death in this forum.

How to submit a concurrent request from Discoverer report.

I would like to know If any one has tried submitting a concurrent request from Discoverer Report?_
This is no stupid question, but our team here finally decided with a solution to our long pending issues with few of the discoverer report. To Proceed further, we would like to know, how to submit a concurrent request from Discoverer report?
We are looking for calling a package from the Disco admin by passing the parameters from the disco to the 6i report.
All help us in this regards are much appreciated.
Kindly help us in the same!
Thanks
Arun

Thanks Rod for confirming the same.
I will be trying the same today and will let you know if I succeed in doing it.
If I can share the actual requirement with you, it goes like this.
"I will be triggering the Oracle 6i standard AP Trail balance report through the Disco report. The standard report will be inserting the required data to one of my custom table. Once the concurrent program completes normal, my custom table will be having the required data to create the workbook specific to the current run of the concurrent program.
The one problem which I think could happen is, How can I make my disco report to wait till the standard program to complete in normal so that my disco report can be generated with the data from custom table.
Will the above requirement is possible If I follow the way you mention in the PDF or Could you suggest a better way for achieving the same.
In short, my requirement is: The custom table(say XX_TABLE) will be populated with data when the standard 6i report is run and the disco admin will be making of the custom table (XX_TABLE) to generate the report.
Please advice.
Thanks
Arun

How can I set a Session bean timeout

Hello !
How can I set a Session bean to time out eg. 48 hours ?
Thanks
Uiloq Slettemark

For stateful session beans you can use the timeout attribute in the orion-ejb-jar e.g.
<session-deployment timeout=1800 ..>
this is specified in seconds and Default Value: 30 (minutes)

How do I make my wireless trackpad discoverable?

How do I make my wireless trackpad discoverable?

Hello Shari BSW,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You can take a look at the Quick Start Guide:
Magic Trackpad Quick Start Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
Pg 4 has instructions for pairing and removing a paring. When the Magic Trackpad is not pared with a computer, turning it on puts it into discovery mode automatically (pg 3).

How to implement row-level security in Discoverer?

Dear all,
I have a scenario that I have 2 folders containing sales and inventory data stored by product lines.
The 2 folders are constructed by 2 SQL statements.
There exists a set of tables controlling which product line's sales and inventory data a person can read.
A function is written previously that returns the WHERE clause based on user_id, employee_id and the other parameter.
So, can you suggest how to integrate the 2 components in Discoverer?
thanks
George
My blog: http://hktour.blogspot.com

hi Rod,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I took your 1st option, ie.
"You can use VPD at the database level to secure the tables."
I have a view BUDGET_V with the following columns:
PERIOD_YEAR
PERIOD_MONTH
PRODUCT_LINE
BUDGET_AMOUNT
Every salesman can only read the budget amount of certain product lines.
I built the security function which will be binded to the view BUDGET_V (see below)
FUNCTION security_policy_function( p_schema in varchar2, p_object in varchar2)
return varchar2
as
begin
if (user = p_schema) then
return '';
else
return viewProductLine(FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID, FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID, 'BUDGET_V.PRODUCT_LINE');
end if;
end;
The security function actually calls my own security function viewProductLine(FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID, FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID, 'BUDGET_V.PRODUCT_LINE') which take the user id and employee id of the apps user and returns the predicate.
Then, I bind the security function security_policy_function() to the view BUDGET_V with
begin
dbms_rls.add_policy
object_schema => 'APPS',
object_name => 'BUDGET_V',
policy_name => 'MY_POLICY',
function_schema => 'APPS',
policy_function => 'security_policy_function',
statement_types => 'select',
update_check => FALSE,
enable => TRUE
end;
The problem now is that if I query the view in Discoverer as a Apps user (say "A"), it returns all the records in the view without any filtering (user "A" is supposed be able to read certain product lines).
I try to verify whether the security function work or not. So, I hardcoded FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID and FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID as 1234 and 6789 which are the user_id and employee_id of user "A". (see below)
FUNCTION security_policy_function( p_schema in varchar2, p_object in varchar2)
return varchar2
as
begin
if (user = p_schema) then
return '';
else
return viewProductLine(1234, 6789, 'BUDGET_V.PRODUCT_LINE');
end if;
end;
This time, Discoverer returns only the records with product lines visible to user "A".
So, I guess there is problem in the function call in viewProductLine(FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID, FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID, 'BUDGET_V.PRODUCT_LINE');
Can you give me some light on this issue?
thanks

How to Create a Link to a Discoverer Workbook in Apps11i?-[solved]

I tried to create a link to a disco workbook in apps 11i using metalink document 278095.1. It seems to be working ok for discoverer which is installed on the same machine as the apps11i is on(because when I clicked on the link which I have created in apps11i, I see a default disco4i welcome page which got installed out of the box with apps11i). But we are using discoverer version 10g which is on a different server. Does anyone has ideas on how to create a link for a disco workbook which is on a different server other than apps11i.
Discoverer version is 10g
Apps version is 11.5.10.2
Thanks in advance

hi Rod,
I did as you said and it seems to be connecting to the right server. But I have one more problem. In metalink document it says I have to enter the following in the Parameters text field of Function form in apps:
workbook=<(workbook identifier from step2) &PARAMETERS=param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value*param_parameter name Two~Parameter Two Value*
But I dont understand what should I have in place of param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value. Is it the name of the parameter given in discoverer, if so can you give me an example of how to write it. Because when I typed the name of the parameter like &PARAMETERS=Client Id, where client Id is the name of the parameter, it is giving me the following error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
Thanks for your help

There is a problem with autoHeightRows and columnStretching used together in 11gR1.
Have you tried without columnStretching?
Or have you tried if it works in 11gr2?
TimoHi Timo, Thank you very much for taking time to respond to my question.. :)
Back to my question...
I tried removing the columnStretching although my requirement really requires this but no effect really happens even if I remove this.
Based on my investigation on the generated HTML, I notice the following items:
1. A table is being wrapped in a div that is being set at a fixed height.
2. On first load, if your autoheight rows is set to 6, the framework is setting a height of 96px to the div. This height would almost cut the last row of the table.
3. If you try to refresh the page or try to re-PPR the component, the framework resets it to 102px which causes the last row to be fully displayed.
My only concern is that IE is perfectly displaying this while Chrome and FF are having problem.
Based on my understanding, the framework is messing up the height only on first load. Not sure but this is how I see it. I am really not confident also on my findings
and I would most likely hear other's comment.
Thanks.

Killing Discoverer Session

I need to kill discoverer sessions that are in the process of running queries. If I use the alter system kill session ' sid, serial#' immediate; , the session gets "marked for kill" and continues. I don't understand why it's getting marked for kill as it's simple select statements. Is there a way to immediately kill these sessions from the database?

Hi
You should be ok. In order to kill sessions you will need to have access to V$ views, V$SESSION, V$PROCESSS, V$SQLAREA. Also, V$OPEN_CURSOR will have all currently opened cursors.
From V$SESSION you can then get the SID and SERIAL#.
As a DBA, you can kill the session using the following command. The SID and SERIAL# values of the relevant session can then be substituted into the following statement:
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID, SERIAL#';
Note: SID and SERIAL# values are separated by a comma and are within single quotes.
In some situations the Oracle.exe is not able to kill the session immediately. In these cases the session will be "marked for kill". It will then be killed as soon as possible.
Issuing the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION command is the only safe way to kill an Oracle session. If the marked session persists for some time you may consider killing the process at the operating system level. Killing OS processes is dangerous and can lead to instance failures, so do this at your own peril.
It is possible to force the kill by adding the IMMEDIATE keyword:
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'sid,serial#' IMMEDIATE;
This should prevent you ever needing to use the orakill.exe in Windows, or the kill command in UNIX and Linux.
This statement:
SELECT
S.SID, P.SPID, S.OSUSER, S.PROGRAM
FROM
V$PROCESS P, V$SESSION S
WHERE
P.ADDR = S.PADDR;
will show you the sessions.
The SID and SPID values of the relevant session can then be substituted into the following command issued from the Windows command line:
orakill ORACLE_SID spid
The session thread should be killed immediately and all resources released.
To kill a session using UNIX / LINUX, first identify the session as shown above, then substitute the relevant SPID into the following command:
% kill -9 spid
If in doubt check that the SPID matches the UNIX PROCESSID shown using:
% ps -ef | grep ora
The session thread should be killed immediately and all resources released

Not able to execute Discoverer Sessions

Hi,
My Discoverer URl is not working (http://servername:7778/discoverer/plus) on 9.0.2.0.1 server.
but my forms and reports are working which is also hosted on the same server, please tell me what need to check and which services need to check and logs etc.
Please reply as it is production server I have to start today itself.
Regards
Kumar

Of course you need to check OH/opmn/logs and OH/oc4j_bi_forms/logs, and OH/oc4j_bi_forms/application_deployments/discoverer/logs (Im not sure of the last)
And the services has to be started the OC4J_BI_Forms (using opmnctl status).

I need advice on how to go about creating objects in discoverer.

I have a schema shtest that contain all the tables I am going to use in Discoverer. However a new schema shdisc is going to be use for discoverer. My question is
1. Should I create views based on these tables in shdisc or
2. grant select on shtest to shdisc and reference these tables in discoverer?
Initially, I created synonyms in shdisc, but these are not visible in discoverer. However, when I created views in shdisc, am able to see these objects in discoverer but am not convince this is a good way. In essence, I created all tables in shtest as views in shdisc. Please advice.

Hi Ade,
1. First off SHTEST and SHDISC schemas should reside on the same database. 2. You have to create end user layer in your SHDISC schema (you should give the rights required) using Discoverer Administrator tool. EUL tables get created in SHDISC schema.
3. Using Discoverer Administrator you need to pull the structures from SHTEST. Once you open your Discoverer Administrator, you will see a little window with "Administration Tasklist".
Anyways, the best place to get information related to this is from Discoverer Administration Guide. Then you might want to checkout the details on reporting tool Discoverer Plus/Discoverer Viewer or Discoverer Desktop based on what you choose for building your reports.
Hope this helps,
-Esther
