Installing Discoverer Desktop 9

For some reason, on one of the PC that I am installing Discoverer Desktop, I am getting the error below. This is during the process where Oracle Universal Installer is running.
Dependencies:
The Windows System Files install has not been run on this machine. One or more operating system files currently in use need to be updated. Setup cannot continue with the installation until the files are updated. Click OK to close this dialog. .....
Any idea what might be conflicting? thanks

Did you try running the system files install option?
You should be fine and not have any conflict with Windows.

Problem while installing discoverer desktop edition

HI
I find few error messages while installing discoverer desktop edition..
When i give oracle home as
name:OracleHome92
Location: DiscovererDesk
it gives me a error
" oracle discoverer doesnot support multiple installations thus it cannot be installed on oracleHome92.It can only be installed on 'OraHome92'"
When i give oracle home as
name:OraHome92
It automatically takes my 9i oracle home path i.e E:\oracle\ora92 and gives me a error like
"The location specified 'E:\Oracle\ora92', is already used an oracle home for an
'Oracle 82 beta'.It cann't be used as an oracle home for nt."
I have oracle 9i and form6i,report 6i installed in my system.
Please suggest me ..

Hi
The easiest way to get a fully working TNSNAMES in a version 4 environment is to use the Net 8 Configuration utility.
Here's a workflow:
1. From the Start button, select Start | Oracle for Windows NT | Oracle Net8 Easy Config
2. When it starts, check Add New Service and in the little box to the right type the name by which you want this connection to be known
3. Click the Next button
4. Select TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) and click the Next button
5. Enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the server that contains the database
6. In Port, enter the port number - it defaults to 1521
7. Click the Next button
8.In Database SID enter the name of the database, then click the Next button
9.Click the Test Service button
10. Provide a username and password for an account on the database, then click the Test button
11. If you see: Connecting.... The test did not succeed you got the username/password combination wrong or some other part of the setup
12. When you see: Connecting.... The connection test was successful click the Done button
13. Click the Next button
14. Click the Finish button
You should now have a valid TNSNAMES connection for use by Discoverer 4

Oracle Discoverer Desktop 11.1.1.3 11g install

Windows XP sp3
Work for a company
Installed Discoverer Desktop 11g 11.1.1.3
Upon launching application with __end-user Jane__ logged into computer, immediately get this error, 'dis51usr.exe not found, click Browse to locate' .
I installed the program with me logged in to computer (I have admin rights). Discoverer Desktop opens without error when I am logged into the computer. When the EU is logged in, we get the error. I had installed the app on another user's machine, John, and had same error. For user John, I added the user to 'Domain Users' and relaunch app and the error never came up (the app launched and came to the login gui, the app launch is a success. For the user I first mentioned, I added that user to 'Domain Users' but the error still comes up.
I do not know what to check that could be causing this issue.
Is it a path issue? Environmental Variables issue?
I do not have enough experience with oracle to know the proper 'user environmental variable' and the 'system environmental variable'. Please help!! Thank you.

Hello
Windows will look inside your PATH to see if it can find the file. If it cannot locate the file in your PATH you will get the dis51usr.exe not found error.
Can you post the PATH that is being used?
You can get the path as follows:
1. Launch Control Panel
2. Click System
3. Click Advanced System Settings
4. Click Environment Variables
5. Look in bottom half of screen for variable named PATH
6. Click Edit and copy the PATH then post it in here for me to look at
7. Click Cancel - do not edit the path
8. Close Control Panel

Discoverer Desktop installation fails on Windows 7

ERROR:

Checking operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 Actual 6.1

Is Dis Desktop 10.1.2.00 on Windows 7 ? any additional patched to be applied?
Kindly suggest

You can install Discoverer using XP SP2 compatibility mode. Right click the install.exe file and go to the compatibility tab. You should be able to get it from there.
Setup should proceed as normal. You may, however, get an error when trying to login to Discoverer. I am still confounded with this error;
Failed to connect to database - ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION.
Since Discoverer is not certified with Windows 7, good luck trying to find a solution. I have been working on the problem for days now without any luck.

Discoverer Desktop installation

Hi all,
I have to install Discoverer Desktop and Administrator on windows machine and 9i AS is on linux server.
To install these do i need to have Discoverer as part of 9i DS or can i directly install them if so should I install Administrator first or Desktop ?
Do i need to make any changes to the Registry ?
Should i stop all Oracle services before installing them ?
ThankYou

Please post to the Discoverer forum:
Discoverer
This is an e-Business Suite installation forum. Surprised you would need to work on a desupported product:

What priviliges need to Run Discoverer Desktop

Hi all,
I have installed Discoverer Desktop on client machine. When I login throug the administrator on any client machine then I can connect to Desktop. But unable to connect to Discoverer Desktop on client machine when I connect with my personal ID that dont have administrative priviliges. I got the error that system unable to update system registry. Use REGEDIT. And also desktop didnt connect and return TNS Error. What should I do in this condition? Should I give the administrator priviliges to every user who are using Discoverer Desktop.
Thanks.

Let me elaborate on exactly what I am doing with this. I have a view that goes against a 5 million record table and gets contract line flexfields. The performance is greatly improved when a specific contract is selected, so I have built in an extra join to a temporary table that contains nothing but contract number. When a report is run in Discoverer, the goal is to allow the user to enter a parameter of contract number, and then take that number and execute a function to populate the temporary table with that contract number, then get the data from the view that has joined to this table. It works if the user runs the report 2 times, as the data is being generated before the function is executed, so there is nothing in the temp table on the first execution due to timing. What I need to do is change the timing and force the function to populate the temp table prior to the running of the view. Is this possible?

From where can I download Discoverer Desktop?

Hi,
I am considering installing Discoverer Desktop on the PC's of some of our power users. However, I could not find the download. Does anyone know where it is? I imagine it is packaged with some other download - I just don't know what or where. Any ideas wher I can find Discoverer Desktop (10.1.2.2)?
Thanks so much,
Tim

Hi Tim
So just to clarify all of the information that you have, here is a round up:
1. From OTN: download and install the base Discoverer Desktop from the location mentioned by Rod
2. From MetaLink: download and apply patch 4960210 for Windows 32-bit
3. Also from MetaLink: if you are using E-Business Suite you should also download and apply patch 5985072

Install discoverer admin and desktop

Hi All,
We have already installed discoverer 11.1.1.4 on linux. We have two url one for discoverer viewer and other for discoverer plus.
Now i need to generate a resport do i need to install discoverer admin and desktop.
I am new to discoverer Do i need to install discoverer admin and desktop separately or else we can use the same setup.
Please help.
My env details .
OS : OEL 5
Apps: EBS 12.1.3
db verion : 11.2.0.3
Discoverer version : 11.1.1.4
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
You need to install Disco Admin to create and maintain an EUL. Discoverer Administrator and Desktop are part of the same installation and you should always install both. The software download is available from the Oracle Discoverer 11g Fusion Middleware (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/downloads/index.html). You install Oracle BI Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Administrator 11.1.1.3.0 onto Microsoft Windows.

Report service is not working after install Discoverer..............

Hello,
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2 (Forms/Reports) on my desktop, they were both working fine for a long time. I installed Discoverer 10gR2 (Administrator and Desktop) on the same machine recently. The Oracle Forms is still good, I can run forms on the local machine after I start OC4J instance. But the Reports is always hanging, even Showjobs. I can access http://host:port/reports/rwservlet, but anything under that is not working, hanging.......
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The problem may be a PATH problem.
Start the reports server after having set the PATH :
set ORACLE_HOME=d:\oracle\ods1012
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\bin\classic;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\bin\client;%ORACLE_HOME%\jlib;%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;%ORACLE_HOME%\jre\1.4.2\bin;

Oracle Discoverer Desktop Report output showing unicode characters

Hi,
Oracle Discoverer Desktop 4i version Report output showing the below unicode characters.
kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
We ran the same query in sql at that time the data showing correctly.
Please let me know, is there any language settings/ NLS settings are need to set
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_BIToolsHome_1
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry

Cannot log in as an application user on Discoverer Desktop

Hi
I have Discoverer Desktop 4.1.37.00.0 on a laptop. When I try to log in as an application user, when in connect field I enter database name, I get the following error message:
ORA-12154:TNS:could not resolve service name
When instead of databse name I input connect string in tnsnames.ora file, I get another error message:
Unable to connect to Oracle Application Database:Invalid username/password
Please note that the checkbox 'oracle application user' is enabled while attempting to log in.
Secondly, in my Administration Edition in Tools>options>connections
the following settings have been done:
Connect to both standard and applications EULs
Gateway User Id (GWYUID)/Password : APPLSYSPUB/PUB
FNDNAM : APPS
Similar seetings have been done for the desktop.
Also note that I cannot even log in as a database user. The error message I receive is
'You do not have access to any End User Tables.'
The database user name I'm using to log in is the one who has created EUL(apps mode) and owns business areas in that EUL.
Can someone please guide me on this problem?
Regards,
Aparna

Hi
The solution to my problem was exactly the same: I needed to apply the patch 3201601.
This patch is available on http://metalink.oracle.com
While installing the version 4.1.48.06.00 on my laptop, as I have XP, I came across some DLL errors.
For this refer to the note 297750.1, DLL Copy Errors when Trying to Patch Discoverer Administrator/Desktop 4.1
The note is also available on the metalink.

Cascading LOVs in discoverer desktop 10

Hi
Is it possible to create Cascading parameters in Discoverer Desktop 10?
i know the possibility in discoverer plus but didn't find the "filter the lov based on the selected condition" radio button while creating the paramenter in Desktop10.
Thanks

Hi,
You do not have to upgrade the desktop or administrator (you can if you like to).
can i install Plus as client?No, the plus is installed on IAS or weblogic
you can search this forum for links to download, and it will need installation and configuration.
the same schema, reports, configuration will work on Plus?Yes it will as long as the configuration is right.

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 rollback to default settings in Discoverer Desktop?

Hi all,
I have a small question. I want to get back to default settings (Settings when it first installed on the machine) in Discoverer Desktop. I changed lot of settings some known and some unknown. Can anybody please help me to rollback to my default settings. I will be very thankful to you all.
Thanks.

Hi
There's no easy way to do this. The settings are stored in the system registry, editing of which is fraught with danger if you are inexperienced in working with the registry.
Out of the box, the ones you are most likely to have changed are below and I have included the defaults:
In Application:
CacheFlushPercentage - 25
DocumentOrigin - 2
MaxVirtualDiskMem - 4096000000
MaxVirtualHeapMem - 4096000000
QueryBehavior - 0
ViewType - 1
In Database:
You can safely delete all entries that begin with AEUL, ARESP and UEUL - these will get added again as you begin to work
DisableAutoQuery - 0
DisableFanTrapDetection - 0
DisableMultiJoinDetection - 0
ItemClassDelay - 15
ObjectsAlwaysAccessible - 1
QPPEnabled - 0
RewriteIntegrity - 0
SQLType - 0
UseOptimizerHints - 0
You can generally leave the rest alone.
If you have any other settings that you are concerned about please let me know
Do you have a copy of my Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook? If not I would strongly recommend getting it. Pages 786 to 799 discuss all of the preferences, states what the default is and describes what the valid settings are.
Even though I am the author of the book and yes I would get some royalties that is not why I recommend it. I recommend it because it is the official Oracle Press book on Discoverer. There are more than 1000 pages packed full of advice, tips and tricks. My wife and I spent over 9 months putting the book together. We also worked close with Oracle to make sure that the book was accurate.

Discoverer desktop installation on Windows 7 64 OS XP Mode TNS error

I have installed discoverer administrator and desktop in XP Mode on a Windows 7 64 OS. I downloaded the install from Oracle Discoverer 11g Fusion Middleware. I am using XP mode because I believe there is no download for the 64 bit OS in the Windows environment. I have had no trouble with the installation. The trouble comes when trying to connect to a database. I get a TNS error.
I have edited the environmental variable to include tns names. I am able to connect to a database on the network via sql developer but not with discoverer.
One needs to run the xp application within the Windows 7 environment. I have included the environmental variable in both environments (xp virtual and Windows 7) and am 0% successful with discoverer and 100% successful with sql in seeing the database.
Any technical advice?

I am indebted to Praveen Deshpande for this :
You need to create a Windows environment variable TNS_ADMIN that points to the directory where the correct Tnsnames.ora file is held.
On my system, I went to 'Computer - System Properties - Advanced - Environment Variables", created an environment variable TNS_ADMIN and set its value to C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN
Check where your server or other tnsnames file is stored and set the corresponding value.
Then it all worked perfectly.
