Joins created by Disco Admin

We've just recently noticed that when we add a new table through Discoverer Admin, there are multiple joins created for the same tables (in 1 case we have 11 identical joins created between the same 2 tables). I know we can switch off the button to create joins but wondered if there was a way to limit it to only 1 join created per table. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Janet

Unfortunately there's no way to limit the number of joins between 2 tables using the Administrator. Or joins are setup automatically by using the FK's or on Matching Column Names or you've to set them up by hand. You might think of using the gateway and create a script to populate the gateway tables with just 1 join.

Quesions about Disco admin

Can some one clarify these doubts?
1. I read in documentation that Discoverer Admin is only used on Windows platform. Cant this be used on UNIX or other operating systems?
2. We had a table called PAYABLE_FACT which is having 3 columns like order_dt_id, received_dt_id, pay_dt_id and some other non date id columns.
There is another table called DATE_DIM which had date_dim_id, full_date.... PAYABLE_FACT had references to DATE_DIM.data_dim_id to order_dt_id, received_dt_id, pay_dt_id.
In TOAD, While writing queries to find amount ordered, i use join condition like
...where payable_fact.order_dt_id = date_dim.order_dt_id
and date_dim.full_date between :dt1 and :dt2
Similarly to find received amount i join on received_date_id to date_dim_id.
In Disco Admin, when i create folders from database, I noticed that folder for PAYABLE_FACT contains 3 joins(on each id) to folder for DATE_DIM (on date_dim_id).
When i use these folders in Admin, and want to filter on order_date for example, I created condtion like date.dt_full_dt >= :startdate and date.dt_full_dt <= :enddate.
But, this is not returning correct data.
How do i solve this problem? Do, i need to remove the joins on received_Date_id and pay_date_id in admin?
If so, if another user user want to filter data on pay_date, do i need to create another PAYABLE_FACT and have join only on received_date_id to date_dim_id and similiarly for pay_date_id?
Thank you.

Yup.
1. At this point - and all previous versions - the Discoverer Administrator client / server version is only on a PC. That's no biggie as pretty well every company - ok, except Apple? - has a PC somewhere.
This PC is where you create the EUL - but the EUL is a schema in an Oracle database, so if your Oracle is on Unix, your EUL is stored in the database on Unix.
There have always been command line options for Disco Admin where you could perform quite alot of what you'd be doing in the client / server version. Recently though, Oracle has added more powerful commands that could be called by a Java interface. So it's only a matter of time IMO until Oracle releases a Java version of Disco Admin - and therefore could run on multiple platforms.
2. As for the query, one other popular option would be to just create a view in the database with the SQL code, joins, etc. you mention that you did in TOAD.
Then just create a folder in the EUL to that database view. Badda bing ... badda boom ... no worries about complicated joins between multiple folders.
Just an option you might want to consider.

Is OWB can do the job of Disco Admin?

Hi ,
i am new to discoverer world
i just want to ask, do we still use Discoverer administrator to create our folders, hierarchies ,.......
or just OWB + Dico plus / viewer is sufficient , becuase i don't find the word "disco admin" in the new job specs in job sites
Thanks in advance

Hi Oracle Lover
I love your login name by the way.
I'm an out and out advocate of Discoverer Admin as I find it so much easier to work with than using OWB. Now while you can use OWB to generate a business area, with its associated folders, items, joins and so on, I haven't yet seen a way for OWB to manage security to the business areas. Unless someone can contradict me I'm sure you still need to use Admin to control access to the business areas and what a user can do with the data once connected. I also don't believe you can do summary management inside OWB.
Don't get me wrong, OWB is a great tool but it doesn't replace Discoverer Administrator - not yet anyhow! Oracle are really focused on the DBA side of OWB and not on the artistic side of presenting Discoverer to end users in a pleasing manner. You can't add folder and item separators inside OWB, you can't create custom SQL folders and you can't create complex folders, all of the things that experienced Discoverer administrators do on a daily basis.
To answer Russ' comment you do still need to have an EUL into which to insert a business area from OWB.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Michael

Duplicate folder names in DISCO Admin.

I am creating multiple Business Areas in the same EUL. Some of these BAs contain the same tables.
In Folder properties, Discoverer provides a 'Name', defined as the name users will see to identify this object.
There is also an 'Object' Property, which is the name of the source table, and an 'Identifier' that is defined as a unique value that identifies this Element across the EUL.
By default, both the 'Name' and the 'Identifier' are given a numeric increment each time it is used in another Business area. I would like to keep the 'Name' consistent across BAs, but Disco Admin will not allow non-unique 'Names' (within a EUL). What's with this? Isn't a unique 'Identifier' enough???

You are correct... the identifier is 'not unique enough'.
I never understood that either. Someone have an answer as to why a unique identifier does not identify a folder?
The work around is to define the folder once in one business area. Then use the Tools -> Manage Folders dialog to add that same folder to another business area.
When the folder is added this way, it is cloned into the business area with its uniqueness intact.

John Hagel

How to Create a New Admin Account and Change Original to Standard Account?

I have a single user admin account that I set up when I got my PowerBook. Now I want to have two accounts with the new one being the admin account. This way I can leave most of the data files, email accounts, etc. with the old account and use the new one for personal data and admininistration. Then I could give out the password for the original account without fear that a user could change permissions and get access to the new account with the personal data. Can I create a new admin account and then change the original account to "Standard" instead of "admin"? What problems will this create?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

i2:
Not sure if you are asking if or how. Templeton has
answered if. Here's how.
Apple Menu > System Prefs > Accounts. Click on the +
under User Options to create new account. Go to
Security and check box at bottom to make account
admin. You can take care of the other items, picture
etc, login options etc.
To make the other account Standard select the
account, go to Security and deselect box "Allow User
to Administer".
Hope this answers your questions.
Good luck.

OID users ( EUS) problem with grant create table with admin

Hi,
We activated enterprise users in the OID.
There is a role APP_ADMIN that has the following grants:
create user
drop user
create table with admin option
this is for an application that creates BI schemas, so it needs to be able to create other users.
I have granted these to a local role, and the user has access to the local role, thanks to the OID setup.
The create and drop user work.
however, the grant create table to another user does not work.
Is there an issue with 'with admin option' grants in Enterprise user security?
Regards,
Peter

If I grant
grant create table to test_role with admin option;
it does not work
if I grant
GRANT GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE to test_role WITH ADMIN OPTION;
it does work.
The test command as user with test_role is:
grant create table to test_usr;
very strange!
If the user is a standard user and I create role test_role
and grant create table to test_role with admin option it works.
but if I convert the user to an EUS user and the same privilege is given to the role ( role is granted to a global role to an enterprise role)
it doesnt work

Please I'll be thankfull.

I stated that I did try to do all of this when I first set up the new computer...I did do the Setup Assistant numerous times but my old computer kept freezing half way through. Even if I did it when I first got the new computer back in Septemeber, I would have had the same issue b/c my old computer has been 'broken' for a while. My old computer can't handle doing too much at once and I think the setup and then migration functions I tried were too much. That's why I was hoping I could use the migration function piecemeal. I wish I could just check off the exact files and folders I want vs. having to choose it at the 'user' level...that's too much for my old computer to have to transfer.

How to create a new admin user in oracle 9i?.

Hi I am new to oracle. I want to set up a new database for my application.
How to create a new admin user in oracle 9i?. I would like to have a new schema. where I can create tables for my application from scratch.

If I understand your question correctly:
You need to be connected to the database with the user SYS.
open a command-line session and do the following to create an Oracle user with DBA option other than SYS.

SBL-DAT-00222: An error has occurred creating business component 'Admin SEA

Hello,
I am also facing simillar issue.
I am trying to create admin account through Siebel Data bean using Business object "Users" and business component "User";
It works from Web client. but fails from siebel databean program.
Following is an error in SCCObjManager log :-
Please ask your systems administrator to check your application configuration.
ObjMgrMiscLog Error 1 0000001650241a04:0 2012-08-13 14:26:48 (busobj.cpp (1666)) SBL-DAT-00222: An error has occurred creating business component 'Admin SEA Application' used by business object 'Users'.
Please suggest.
Siebel Environment details:-
Siebel 8.2.2.0.0 - Windows 2008 R2 SP1
Database - Oracle 11g
We are using database as security adapter.

I have never worked with Databeans and neither with Siebel 8.2.2.
But when I look in Siebel 8.1.1.3 Tools at the Business Object 'Users', I don't see the business component 'Admin SEA Application'.
The Business Component does exist, but in a different Business Object.
Perhaps you should review the code of the Databean.
If all else fails, you can try to add it through Business Object 'Employee' and Business Component 'Employee'.

9iDS for Linux - OWB, Disco Admin etc are missing from download

I've just installed 9iDS release 2 on a laptop running SuSE 8.0 and Oracle 9i release 2 Enterprise Edition.
As my work primarily involves 9i database and OWB 9i, I was to say the least dissappointed that 9iDS for Linux does not include OWB, or for that matter Disco Admin or Reports Admin.
When you go to download 9iDS for Linux, the download page says "This download includes the full distribution of Oracle9iDS", and the previous page (which lists all the elements of the download, next to the links for Windows, Linux, HP-UX and so on) does not in any way indicate that OWB is not included in the download.
There is, separately downloadable, an 'early adopters' release of OWB for Linux, but this does not include the bridging technology to Discoverer, Express and 9i OLAP. As it's 'early adopted' presumably it's not too stable.
Has anyone used this? Has anyone tried using a laptop purely with Linux on it as a way of using 9iDS? Does anyone at Oracle know when a full release of 9iDS, with all the elements found in the Windows release, will be made available? In the meantime, Oracle should clearly state on the Linux download page that not all the elements of 9iDS are found in the Linux version.

I don't know the answer, but Designer will never be ported to Linux : It is a Windoze stuff...and without Designer...i will never be able to do 100% Linux :(

You can try the following to reset the password without the DVD:
How to change your username and/or password from the Terminal
1. Boot into single-user or verbose mode
2. At the prompt enter the following commands. Press RETURN after each:
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -passwd /Users/username password
Replace username with the targeted user and password with the desired password.
reboot
This allows you to reset the password in single user mode without booting from the install media. The above tip is attributed to Satcomer.

How to create a new admin for new hard drive/OS

I just got a new OS and Hard drive and repair shop that fixed said they would have skipped over anything asking to create password. When I turn on computer it loads fine and when I go to system pref/users it asks me for a old password. Nothing seems to be working. How can I figure this out?

Hi,
 To create table, you don't need an admin user.
Only grant create table to your app user.
 By admin user, hat do you mean ? Start and stop db ? For this one, grant sysadm privilege to your user. For more info about admin privilege, read Overview of Administering an Oracle Database - SYSDBA and SYSOPER
