How to use seeded discoverer reports

Hi,
i want to use seeded discoverer reports from Human Resources Intelligence - End User (responsibility)
if i run this reports in apps i am not getting any output(no result).
so i want to see the workbook creation(i mean contents in the workbook) . how its developed .
how do i identify the workbook and busineess area respect to the report...how do i open this in discoverer tool(admin/desktop)...
pl help me out
regards,
kumar

Normally I open the discoverer report in Discoverer Desktop using my Application user id which has the grants on certain responsibility. This responsibility should have access to the disco workbooks and also the business area and folders. If for instance you open with another login which does not have the access, it will pop up this error message like 'Substitute Item', it means it could not find the item in that particular folder - Business area.
For example in Employee Business Area you have Employee Data Folder with First Name Item and Last Name item. If your login does not have access to it, it will pop up error message that said it could not find "First Name" and looking for substitute item to make the disco work.

As per my knowledge goes, We can see from Administrator which Folder is associated with a Workbook. Else you may have to manually open each and every workbook and look for the objects.

JNI - How to use the error reporting mechanism?

I've developed a C++ DLL which is loaded from a commercial Win32 application (not written by me) as a plug-in for external calculations. On its initialization the C++ DLL launches the Java VM via the JNI invocation interface. When the DLL functions are called by the application, they forward the calls to Java objects inside the Java VM, again via JNI invocation interface.
This works well, but I have encountered a weird error.
From Java I open a JFrame containing a JTextArea as small console for debug output messages. If I turn output to this debug console off (my printToConsole routine checks whether a boolean flag is set), the string concatenation operator may lead to a crash of the Java VM.
For example, if in one of the Java functions called from the
DLL via JNI invocation interface the following is the first statement,
it leads to a crash of the Java VM and the application that loaded the C++ proxy DLL.
String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
Interestingly, if I comment this statement out, the Java code works fine WITHOUT any crash. I've already thought about potential races and synchronization issues in my code, but I don't see where this is the case. And the string concatenation error fails as well, if I insert sleep() statements in front of it and at other places in the code. However, if I turn on log messages printed to my JFrame debug console (containing a JTextArea), the String concatenation works without problems.
So maybe the JNI interface has a bug and affects the Java VM; I don't see where my JNI code is wrong.
One problem is that I do not get any stdout output, as the C++ proxy DLL is loaded by the Windows application, even if I start the Windows application from the DOS command line (under Windows).
Does anyone know how to use the error reporting mechanism?
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/vm/error-handling.html
Is it possible that the JVM, when it crashes, writes debug information about the crash into a file instead of stdout/stderr?
My C++ proxy DLL was compiled in debug mode, but the commercial application (which loaded the DLL) is very likely not.
I do not know hot to find the reason why the String concatenation fails inside the Java function called from the C++ DLL via JNI.

Yes, I've initially thought about errors in the C++ code too. But the C++ code is actually very simple and short. It doesn't allocate anything on the C++ side. It allocates a couple of ByteBuffers inside the Java VM however via JNI invocation interface calls of env->NewDirectByteBuffer(). The native memory regions accessed via the ByteBuffers are allocated not by my own C++ code, but by the program that calls my DLL (the program is Metastock).
The interesting thing is that everything works fine if output to my debug console is enabled, which means that in the Java print routine getConsoleLoggingState() returns true and text is appended to the jTextArea.
static synchronized void print(String str)
{ MetaStockMonitor mMon=getInstance();
if ( mMon.getFileLoggingState() && mMon.logFileWriter!=null) {
mMon.logFileWriter.print(str);
mMon.logFileWriter.flush();
if ( mMon.getConsoleLoggingState() ) {
mMon.jTextArea1.append(str);
Only if output to the JTextArea is turned off (ie. getConsoleLoggingState()==false), the crash happens when the FIRST statement in the Java routine called via JNI invocation interface is a (useless) String concatenation operation, as described above.
String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
Moreover, the crash happens BEFORE the allocated ByteBuffer objects are accessed in the Java code. But again, if console output is turned on, it works stable. If console output is turned off, it works when the (useless) String concatenation operation is removed in the Java routine called from C++.
I've already thought about potential races (regarding multiple threads), but this can be ruled out in my case. It almost appears as if the JVM can have problems when called by the invocation interface (I tested it with Java 1.4.2 b28).
All the calls between C++ and Java go ALWAYS in the direction from C++ code to Java. Unfortunately, there is no special JRE version with extensive logging capabilities to facilitate debugging. And the problem is not easily reproducible either.

How many users and how often a particular discoverer report is being run?

Hi there,
We run discoverer(4i) reports from portal. The question is:
How to find out the number of users and how often a particular discoverer report is being run?
Many Thanks in advance.
Naren

I know in the 9 versions of discoverer is there is a Discoverer v5 Business Area that is included out of the box. You have to have the stats turned on inside of the pref.txt. But that BA has all of the information to create queries about who, what, parameters, etc. You'll have to check and see if its part of 4i.

How to migrate the discoverer reports using the PPM tool

Hi,
Did Any One Migrate the Discoverer Reports Using The PPM (Kintana Tool) From One Oracle Instance To The Other?
Please Help Me If Any One Knows?
Thanks,
Ankit

Hi User,
Create a new shared folder.
Provide access to all the users.
Now, ask the user who created the report in 'My Folders' to save the report in this new shared folder.
And, Delete those reports in 'My Folders'.
Now, as the report is saved in New shared folder you can access - this one.
Else--- Ask the user who created the report in my folder to make sure that it is available to all users. (Permissions - Permission should need to be provided for Administrator group)
Thank you.

How To View a Discoverer Report In Oracle Applications

Hi All
I have 1 problem...
Im using Oracle Discoverer 4i.
I have connected to Oracle Applications through Discoverer Administration and created a Business Area and created a report and able to see the report in Desktop Edition, which i connected to Oracle Applications in Desktop Edition also.
But now my question is how to see that Report in Oracle Applications when i connect to Oracle Applications through explorer and selecting a responsibility
when i connected to Oracle Applications im not getting the report which i have created.
Is it possible to view a report in Oracle Applications using Discoverer 4i..
Please can any 1 help it out ..its very urgent..
Thanks in Advance..

Hi,
You need to have an Apps mode EUL so that you logon with an Applications username and password. You then need to grant privileges to your responsibilities and also set security on your Business Areas so that they can be accessed by your responsibilities.
Once that is set up, you can create form functions so that you can add links to Discoverer reports in your Applications menus. Metalink Note 278095.1 explains how to do this.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

How to export a Discoverer report in 4i

Hi,
I have a discoverer report in production PROD .I want to test the report in TEST instance but the report doesn't exist in TEST instance.Now,I want to export that report from PROD and want to deploy that report in TEST instance.
I worked on Discoverer 10g ,when we export it will ask for business areas,folders,Item classes and so on.But in 4i when I am trying to export ,it is prompting a window to save as a file.
Can anyone tell me how to export the reports in 4i.
Appreciate you help !!
Veejay

Hi,
In Discoverer 4i the workbook export is only available from the command line. Therefore you will have to use dis41adm.exe to export the workbooks into a .eex file.

How to use a Crystal Reports Query as datasourc in an other Cristal Report

Is ist possible to use a Crystal Reports Report as datasource for an other Crystal Reports Report?

Edited by: Thomas Martin on Jul 18, 2011 12:44 PM

Hi Thomas,
Are you having Xcelsius also in your kitty??(for dynamically doing this activity)
Xcelsius has very good writing & reading functionality and you can incorporate your crystal report data into it using live office.
Let say you have a report in crystal , you connect that repot to live office .Let say this is REPORT named as SOURCE CR REPORT.
IN Xcelsius import the this SOURCE CR REPORT report using live office connection and using GRID selector there to show tabular data.
Xcelsius has buttons & controls for updating and exporting the data inform of XML SOURCE FILE.
Now you can either make xcelsius Dashboard for TARGET CR REPORT or you can make crystal Report on ADO.NET(XML) for second crystal Report.
Search on SDN for cross usage of Crystal & Xcelsius

How to use interactive internal report in alv

hey expert i want to know who i will used interactive internal report in alv report by various tables in my one assingment.
They have told us to do the various steps which i was giving down:
1) In first step they have told me to use of call transaction 'XD03' in the report .I have got that problem solved.
2) In second they have told in this assingment to use of interactive internal report you have to prepare in alv format.
a)I want to know about this .They have told in assingment that in the customer details we have to click to the net value field record and go to the details of sales order detail in which it show the detail of all the details related net values .
b) I want to know about this lines also from you:
Qty field refers to the Target Qty field in the table VBAP.
To get Price in the unit divide the price by Condition Pricing Unit.
If SHKZG field is set, then multiply the amount by -1, making it negative. (understand why?).
3) In the third step they have told to used of drill down which it is in the at line selection ,when i click to the list order of sales it go to the next report and show me the detail of all the list order details.
But i have to use the '2.b' condition there .
cna u please send me reply for all this step.

How to Use Webutil in Reports (in After Report Trigger)

Hi,
I am downloading from FORMS using Webutil is working fine and exporting data into excel.
I have placed the same RPT2XLS package into the reports which i have used in FORMS but it is not working and "ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called" error is coming.
The reason using RPT2XLS in reports to convert complex Matrix reports into Ms. Excel.
Oracle Application Server, Reports & Forms Version is 10g.
I guess, the reason is webutil configuration in reports (as its working for forms) but i don't know exactly where to configure for reports.
Any idea?
Thanks

You use webutil in Forms, not in Reports:
"WebUtil is a pre-packaged set of components which provide client-server type functionality in Web-deployed Oracle Forms applications." There is no client-server type functionality in Reports.

How to use value of Report Rows for another Item heading (interesting)

Hi!
This seem to be interesting question.
I have a classic report which has 4 rows with date values. The Row1 has Date1, Row2 has Date2 and so on.
The report is structured like this
DATE_COL COL1 COL2
Row1 Date1 100 101
Row2 Date2
I want to use the values of DATE_COL of ROW1 which is Date1 in the label of ITEM1 which can be on same page or different page.
Also I want to sue the value of DaTE_COL of ROW2 which is Date2 in the label of Column 1 of Report 2.
How to accomplish this? Appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks,

DATE_COL COL1 COL2
Row1 Date1 100 101
Row2 Date2In your report attributes of DATE_COL column > add column link as follows
Link Text: #DATE_COL#
Target Type: URL
URL: javascript:alert('#DATE_COL#');
And set the Display as property to Standard Report Column
Now when the link is clicked you will get the alert with corresponding value
Next step is to set the value as the label of your item.
If it is on the same page
-- Use javascript to set the label
If its on a different page then you will need to pass this value to that target page and set the label using *&P1_MY_ITEM_NAME.* syntax
See this to learn how to pass the value in URL http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/concept_url.htm#HTMDB03017
I want to use the values of DATE_COL of ROW1 which is Date1 in the label of ITEM1 which can be on same page or different page.
Also I want to sue the value of DaTE_COL of ROW2 which is Date2 in the label of Column 1 of Report 2. You can sue if you are in England! :)
