Install Discoverer Plus

Hi There,
Right now we have Discoverer Desktop installed in each user PC and connected to an ODS database machine.
What is the process and extra requirement to install the Discoverer Plus to current setup or need to re-install BI again?
Also what is the extra hardware requirement to install the Discoverer Plus?
Thanks and Regards,
Kevin C

Hi,
You need to install Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition on a server. This could be a separate home on the database server, or it could be dedicated server. The users would then connect to Discoverer Plus/Viewer on this server which would manage the connections to the database.

    Pl identify the OS you are installing on.

    This typically happens if both the 11gR2 zip files have not been extracted to the same directory. See these related threads

  • Problems Installing Discoverer Plus

    I am trying to setup Discoverer Plus, but I am having all kinds of problems. I'm looking for the right forum to help with my problems. Here is what I am doing:
    1. Installed an Oracle 11.2.0 database. This is OK.
    2. Installed WebLogic 10.3.5.0 - Was able to connect to the Admin Server on Port 7001
    3. Tried installed Application Server, the Discoverer portion. For some reason it wouldn't create the user accounts.
    4. Removed all AS homes and created a Discoverer Account using RCU. It would not create the Portal account.
    5. Now when I try to install AS it can't write to the ~rcu directories because of permissions.
    I have uninstalled Weblogic, removing the Middleware home , and cleaning up accounts in the database.
    I will then install WebLogic again. But I am not sure how to proceed afterwards.
    Thanks and if this is the wrong forum, please point to the correct one.

  • How to install Discoverer 11g on Web Logic Server with Forms and Reports 11g Rel2

    Hello,
    We finally started to migrate from Oracle iAs 10g Release 2 to Oracle Forms and Reports 11g Release 2 using Web Logic. I don't see an option to install Discoverer on the server.
    My OS: windows 2008 R2
    Installed Web Logic 10.3.6
    Forms & Reports: 11.1.2.2.0_64 (64 Bit Forms)
    How do I install Discoverer Plus in 11g? All I can find is Discoverer 11g Desktop/Administrator to run on User work Station. We were using discoverer Plus in 10g iAS.
    Thanks

  • How to update discoverer plus

    Hello everyone,
    i've been using for a lot of time discoverer desktop to develop reports and now i'm migrating to discoverer plus because of a better set of functionalities (but maybe a worse usability :-)). i've in my system an application server with installed discoverer plus but i would like to update it to the last version available without re-installing the whole application server.
    I'm trying to find out a procedure to do that but no success till now.
    Is it possible to do something like that?
    And if yes where can i find detailed information about a single component installation?
    Thank you all.
    Have a nice day

    Hi,
    With the latest version of Discoverer there are different ways of installing Oracle BI. You may be able (if you want to) use your existing AS configuration but it depends on what version you have, whether you are installing with eBS, whether you need an AS infrastruction etc. The documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13918_03/assoc.htm#sthref115) is a good starting.
    You don't say much about your existing setup so it is difficult to be more precise.

  • Installing BI Discoverer Plus for multidimensional OLAP ?

    Hi there,
    it seems I really need to ask for help after getting lost in the forest that Oracle Software is. I hope my question is not too bothersome to people on this forum. So here's the situation:
    I have an Oracle 11g database on a CentoOS server, with OLAP option. I have created a simple star schema from my data and an analytical worksheet (although not without pain, there's another thread about that). Now I wish to access the OLAP data through a tool on my Windows XP workstation and be able to manipulate the data to create reports. My goal is to create a small demo to help convincing our client that OLAP reports is the way to go to play with their data, create custom reports, etc. In fact what I'd like to do is to play with the OLAP model like I used to a few years ago when I was using Business Objects as as client, I think they called it Universe Management or something. The thing is you get your model elements (measures, levels, attributes, etc) as icons in a palette and you can drag&drop them on a worksheet to dynamically create reports, crosstabs, etc. That was very nice and accessible to almost any user.
    Now my question: what piece of Oracle software should I install on each machine to be able to do that ? I tried with Oracle Client BI Tools on XP but this seems to only include Discoverer "classic" or whatever, that only manipulates relational data. I think I need Discoverer "plus", but where is it located ? This is what I found on the website: "OracleBI Discoverer can be installed from the Oracle Business Intelligence CD". Well ok, but which CD ? There seems to be several of them, like Oracle BI EE, Oracle BI SE, Oracle BI SE One, Oracle BI Tools, etc. Additionaly do I really need to install a full-blown Application Server on the CentOS system to access Discoverer Plus ? This frightens me a bit, you know, I'm aiming for a small demo with two or three tables, I'd be thankful not to have to spend a whole week installing a web infrastrucutre for that.
    Well this all looks somewhat confusing, so I thought I'd be better off asking those who know, hence my post. Again I hope this doesn't sound to bothersome.
    Thanks for your help!
    Christian

    Hi Gareth and all,
    in fact I have installed the "Oracle BI Tools" for windows (as_windows_x86_bi_tools_101202.zip) which give me access to
    - Oracle Discoverer Administrator
    - Oracle Discoverer Desktop
    However according to the [Discoverer documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13917_03/1intro.htm] these are not the tools I'm looking for; as it says : "if you want to create new worksheets and analyze data from both relational and multi-dimensional data sources across the Web, you will use Discoverer Plus". As it seems, Discoverer Desktop only accesses relational data through an EUL, I really would like to play with my OLAP cube, because I'm intending to create a demo of what will eventually be a much larger OLAP system.
    So I'm still desperately looking for Discoverer "Plus". From the page you indicate I had already installed not the full AS but the "Business Intelligence" CD, which is supposed to include Discoverer (as indicated in the 'Included" list). I did a "complete" install, however I'm still unable to locate anything ressembling Discoverer. I have Publisher, Dashboard, Delivers, Marketing, Disconnected Analytics... There's Answers that might be similar to Discoverer, but it looks like a whole different beast and much more demanding (like I'm not even able to figure out how to define a new data source). Well I was hoping to be able to view my tiny cube in a few clicks and "Discoverer Plus OLAP" looked like the right tool for that.
    So the next step might be to install the full AS, however it'll take the whole week-end to merely download the 4 CDs. And will it include Discoverer PLus in the end, or am I getting to come back empty-handed again ? Well this is all getting a bit discouraging, please if anyone here knows a convenient way to end up graphically manipulating an OLAP cube and creating simple reports from it please advise ! :-)
    Anyway thanks all for your support,
    Chris

  • 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/

  • Discoverer Plus associate with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure

    Hi Everyone,
    I just install the Oracle BI (v 10.1.2.0.2) into my 2003 server so I could use the Discoverer Plus and Viewer. This is a stand alone BI installation (I guess, I have little knowledge about Discoverer plus or Oracle AS).
    My question is how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report.
    and where to find the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure (or How do I know I have the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure?)
    I read the Oracle BI Discoverer Configuration Guide, and it tell me to associate the Oracle BI with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure to deploy the Discoverer. so I went to the BI Application Server Control page, the Infrastructure section, the Identity Management to configure the Internet Directory, so I could I have the public connection, but it didn't work.
    Also do I real need the Oracle AS Infrastructure to make the Discoverer Plus work?
    Thanks in advance

    Edited by: cmingl on Feb 11, 2010 1:30 PM

    Hi Kevin,
    Oracle AS Infrastructure is needed only if you are implementing SSO for Discoverer or using Public connection .
    Else only Oracle AS Middle tier is sufficient to work with Discoverer Plus .
    Regarding "how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report"
    You need to create the End User Layer (EUL) and then grant privilege to the EUL to users who will be creating the report .
    Thanks,

  • Is Discoverer Plus compatible to the Microsoft Excel 2007?

    Hi,
    I have a Discoverer Report in which the data is formated with Bold,underlines, $ signs and different background color for the grnad totals etc..

    Is Microsoft Excel 2007 is compatible with Discoverer Plus? Do we have any Patch which will resolve this issue?
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Is Microsoft Excel 2007 is compatible with Discoverer Plus?Yes,it is compatable with discoverer and we are also using office 2007
    Do we have any Patch which will resolve this issue?there is no patch required for this and it doesnt deal with patches.Do check out with your admininstartor installed office properly or not.By the ay did you install full version which is licensed or the crack version.I dont think so crack version works out.

  • Discoverer Plus not working in Internet Explorer

    IE 6.0 on Windows 2000 professional SP4 and all of the patches up to date.
    Latest Java run time from Sun.
    I hit the link to Plus and it will eventually bring me back to the login screen with all of the parameters empty. It also opens a new window which is in the background that is blank. The java icon does not appear when I click on the link either.
    I had the google tool bar installed so I removed this. Still the same result.
    I tried this in Firefox and it works perfectly! I have also tried IE with other applets and they all work perfectly.
    The environment is all in an Intranet. I have tested this with another Win2K desktop and got the same results. I have also tried plus with an NT desktop and it also does not work.
    Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

    Found the problem.
    The default installation has WebCache listening on port 80 and then Apache is listening on port 7777 or 7778.
    Discoverer Plus requires a JVM to run and with IE, it installs a particular version of the Sun JVM. The installer points to a hard coded URL in the $ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/config/configuration.xml file for IE users. For whatever reason, the URL is not pointing to the WebCache port but to the Apache port directly. The configuration file doesn't have a section for Firefox so it just loads a JVM which is already installed.
    I had disabled WebCache because it is another layer to fail when I don't really need or want WebCache. I did this by turning off WebCache with OEM and then editing the httpd.conf file. I changed Listen 7777 to Listen 80.
    Now when a user with IE tried to open Discoverer Plus, the configuration points the browser to a port that Apache isn't listening on anymore.
    The fix is to have Apache listening on both 7777 and 80 when disabling WebCache. Or you can edit the configuration.xml file and and remove the port number so that it gets either 80 or 443 automatically.

  • Oracle discoverer ver 9.0.2.39.02 - Error While using  discoverer plus

    Hi,
    I have installed oracle 9i discoverer ver 9.0.2.39.02 and while tyring to use Discoverer Plus (http://ip:port/discoverer/plus)
    I get error when creaating a workbook using workbook wizard, if i go thru the steps 1 to 10 It just does'nt do anything when i click Finish. At the same time
    If i click Finish on the Table layout screen immediately after selecting the items it generates the worksheet
    what could be the reason for me unable to generate the worksheet.
    Create / edit Business Privilege is granted to the user.
    can anybody help me.
    Thanks

    Hi
    But Desktop is not the product that you reported the error on, you said that Plus was giving you the problem.
    Desktop generally has far fewer issues that Plus because it is a client-based tool and I would expect it to work fine in Desktop.
    Have you ever had 9.0.2 Plus working as you describe or have you recently installed it? Either way, I strongly recommend upgrading your Discoverer Plus to the version in my previous reply.
    By the way, I think you will find that most people rapidly got off 9.0.2 as soon as 9.0.4 came out which was 10g Release 1. If you look on my blog: http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/ you will see a couple of surveys that were conducted earlier this year. The top one indicates that only 4% of Discoverer sites are using 9.0.2. Of those I would suggest most will be on the 54 release which really was quite stable.
    You will fnd it really hard to get help if you stay on the 39 release because there are so few folks around who have it installed.
    Best wishes

  • Can't Create Saved Connection in 11g (Discoverer Plus).

    We're getting ready to go live with a new installation of Discoverer Weblogic 11g, but we have run into a problem. We are getting errors when we have any user try to create a saved login connection from their login screen. We hit "Create Connection" and enter all the required login info (as we always did with our 10g version), but when we hit 'Apply' or 'Apply and Connect' we get the following errors.......
    A connection error.
    - Oracle BI Discoverer Viewer cannot save the connection. Check for other errors.
    - ORA-04063: package body "PROD_DISCOVERER_PS.WWSSO_API_PRIVATE" has errors ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "PROD_DISCOVERER_PS.WWSSO_API_PRIVATE" ORA-06512: at line 1
    Users can login just fine when they enter all their info on the login screen, this is only happening when we try to create the saved connection. Is anyone else running into this on 11g? Is there a setting we are missing or something? Maybe something in the pref.txt file? Any help would be appreciated, especially since we are being asked to go live soon. Thanks!
    Here is our system setup:
    Oracle BI Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.4.0)
    Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 11g (11.1.1.4.0)
    Discoverer Model - 11.1.1.4.0
    Discoverer Server - 11.1.1.4.0
    End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
    End User Layer Library - 11.1.1.4.0
    Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production

    Operating System:     x86 Windows XP 5.1
    Using protocol: RMI protocol over JRMP transport

    Additional info:
    Based on the error messages, we can see something is wrong with the package being called. We had a long running help ticket with Oracle opened, but in our opinion, it was not really resolved. We provided the following info after a request from Oracle....
    The package does exist. The package is valid but the package body is invalid due to missing dependant objects
    It is owned by PROD_DISCOVERER_PS.
    The database version is 11.2.0.1.0 (64 bit)

    PROD_DISCOVERER_PS PACKAGE BODY
    We have tried to recomplie the package, still invalid.
    After some further questions we were asked to provide info on the app_registry.......We got an error when trying that.......
    The app_registry object does not exist ...
    SQL> connect sys as sysdba
    Enter password:
    Connected.
    SQL> select comp_id,version,status from app_registry;
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    In the end (after a lot of back and forth), Oracle could not reproduce our problem on their test system. Because their test system uses Enterprise Edition and we installed Standard Edition, their solution was that the issue is caused because we are using Standard Oracle DB and we should be using Enterprise Edition. Creating a saved connection doesn't sound at all like something that would be affected by Standard or Enterprise edition. That's not an easy "solution" for us right now, and we can use a real fix. That's like taking your car into the shop because your blinkers don't work on your 2010 model car and the dealer's solution is "Oh, your 2010 car blinkers don't work? We have a 2011 model and they work just fine. You'll need to buy a 2011 car so the turn signals function."

  • Chinese Characters in Discoverer Plus

    Hi,
    I am having the problem of outputting chinese characters in Discoverer Plus on the client browser. The chinese characters are represented by "box" when they are outputted to Discoverer plus. The chinese characters can be shown with the Report Builder. My database is running on UTF8 characterset.
    I have done some configurations to output the chinese characters to the Report Builder. Besides, the chinese characters can be shown in the PDF reports generated from the Report Server. The configurations that I have done is to modify some of the files in ORACLE_HOME/bin/ and ORACLE_HOME/guicommon9/tk90/admin/.
    How do I ouput the chinese characters in Discoverer Plus?
    Thank you.
    Cheers,
    Joey

    i have installed sqlplus and oracle db in the same PC under chinese win xp.
    i found that if you spool the output to a text file, and type in dos-prompt, it still cannot display the chinese character properly. but if you open the text file by notepad, bingo, you can the chinese character.
    i think that it is because dos-prompt application is non-unicode application. so it could not display unicode character properly.
    as a result, if you want to display unicode character in non-unicode application (run sqlplus under dos-prompt), you have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable which match the character set of non-unicode application which your operating system assigned. in my case, it should be Big5. then oracle would do the conversion for you automatically, i.e. from unicode in DB to Big5 in client.
    I either set the NLS_LANG environment variable in one of the 2 ways:
    NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16big5 or
    NLS_LANG=american_america.zht16hkscs

  • How to pass parameter to a Discoverer Plus OLAP Worksheet??

    Hi,
    I have used discoverer plus OLAP and portal to develop executive dashboards in my company. I put my date dimension in Page Item of discoverer plus OLAP worksheet to view a specific week/month/year of analysis i.e. Jul-07.
    Now I have to open all the worksheets and change the page item value when week/month ends. If it was 'Jul-07' then I have to change it as 'Aug-07'.
    In discoverer plus OLAP we can't pass parameters as we can in discoverer relational.
    Can someone help me how I can set the new values without opening discoverer worksheets?
    Regards,
    Shahid

    Dear Shahid,
    I downloaded the Oracle Application Server SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0. While installing It gave me two options
    1. Basic Install
    Install J2EE server and SOA suite of applications including BPEL, ESB
    and OWSM.
    2. Advance Install (This gives 4 options)
    a. J2EE Server, Web Server and SOA suite
    b. J2EE Server and Web Server
    c. J2EE Server
    d. Web Server\
    According to your instructions I need to install it as Insfrastructure, BI and portal. Now can you tell me which option of the install I should select in order to meet the requirements of Infrastructure, BI and Portal.
    Because I am very new in this technology so If you can guide to me to get started at least then I can follow the Oracle Tutorial for further training.
    Thanks very much in this regards.
