Launching Web-based Discoverer 10g - Taking it Off-line

The following is how I'm launching web-based Discoverer 10g. This launches the log-in page:
http://prodserver.ast.com:7780/discoverer/plus?eul=BIEUL&database=pbusdb
If I am running a production update job I do not want the users logging into discoverer while the update job is running. I may be wrong but it appears that the above URL is executing a jar file or something similar.
Has anyone come up with a solution that would allow me to do the following while a database update job is running:
1) Disable the Discoverer 10g log-in page.
2) Display an appropriate message that the user get if they attempt to launch the log-in page.
Please let me know if more details are needed. Thanks for everyones' input.

Just a direction to consider.
It's been a long time since I played with this - but Discoverer does have a few triggers that are fired when called (ie: like Oracle's forms but I remember only something like 5 - ie: pre- / post-, etc.
Just to make it more muddy, I can't remember if, once coded, this works for all versions (ie: desktop, plus and viewer) but if so, then you can attach a pl/sql routine to fire say, on entry into Discoverer, not the 'launch log-in' page.
So, if it works for all versions, then I would log in, but you have some kind of state such as a column in a simple table that is set to 'N' (for update running) and otherwise 'Y'), and if the state is presently 'Y' then continue on to the Discoverer report. Otherwise, say 'forget it bub!'.
Sorry not to be more exact but I haven't needed to play with this option for quite a while now, but it gives you something to look into - which doesn't fit exactly what you want - but it may do.
I'm sure others can comment on if this idea has merit or not.

Launching web based QT movies in the QT app.

I think I already figured this out, but I was hoping someone would confirm it for me. I want my QT files to play inside the QT app, instead of in the web browser, but it won't work unless the video is embeded. Is that the only way to do it, or can I use a text link to open the movie in the QT app? Thank you!
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The correct way is to use the QT plug-in to "call" the QuickTime Player. You do this with special tags in the object and embed tags of your html file.
Do a search of these discussions pages for "Poster Movie". You'll find all the info you need in the answers.

OpenVZ based Arch Linux VPS's off-line at several hosting providers

Hello all,
I have a number of Arch Linux OpenVZ based VPS's with a good number of hosting providers. For the last year+ I have done a regular weekly update (pacman -Syu cron job) on all my VPS's. The last update round rendered all my VPS's unbootable on every host. It looks like the package update "linux-api-headers 2.6.36.2-1" does not play well with the kernels that have OpenVZ support baked in. Currently I have VPS's offline with Virpus and ZoomVPS/BoostHosting amongst others. Virpus and Zoom have booth been rather unresponsive for a number of days now. I have to think other Arch VPS users are feeling this because at lest one VM was nearly a brand new vanilla install and was impact just like the others. Are there any other Arch users out there effect by this? Have any hosting providers found a fix? Any info would be great.

My hosts would not upgrade and or spoof their kernel on my node so to solve my situation I restored an older backup and followed these directions (http://irony.at/archlinux-openvz-glib) ignoring upgrades to glibe (IgnorePkg), installing a custom build of glib and then applying regular updates. My systems back online and I have learned my lesson about pacman -Syu cron jobs. Sure does make you think that Xen-HVM hosting might be worth the minimal additional cost.

Launch Discoverer 10g from Oracle Applications Menu

Please provide steps to launch Discoverer 10g from Oracle applications menu.
Thanks in advance.
suresh

Hi,
Follow these steps....
The process is in 3 stages _(stage 1 will be done only once for all the reports)._
Stage 1:
Set the application discoverer relevant parameters.
Perform this stage only once.
1.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
1.2 Choose menu 'Profile' and then submenu 'System'.
1.3 Find the desired profile by filling 'Icx%Discoverer%' and press Find button.
1.4 Fill the fields (only the values) as described in the table of values bellow.
Parameter Value
ICX: Discoverer Default End User Layer Schema Prefix your eul name without the suffix (_US).
note that if you have several invs it can be diffrent between them.
ICX: Discoverer End User Layer Language Override American English
ICX: Discoverer Launcher http://your_server_name:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer Release 10 or any other that you are using
ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher http://your_server_name:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer use Viewer Yes (or not if you want plus to open - but change the viewer to plus in the link as well - the previos parameter)
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 1 Ends.
Stage 2:
Build an oracle application function for each discoverer report.
Perform this stage for each report.
2.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
2.2 Choose menu 'Application' and then submenu 'Function'.
2.3 Fill needed values in each tab by the next instructions (function values)
2.3.1 Description tab – fill the function, function user name and the description. Notice that the function value should be without spaces.
2.3.2 Properties tab – fill the:
Function with the same name you have choose in the previous tab,
Type with 'SSWA plsql function',
Maintenance Mode Support with 'None' (Default value),
Context Dependence with 'Responsibility' (Default value).
2.3.3 Form tab- fill the:
Function with the same name you have choose in the previous tab,
Form & Application fields leave empty,
Parameters – there are two options available:
1st Leave it empty – will cause the function to open the discoverer all reports web page and user will have to choose a specific report from the list .
2nd Fill it with value '=workbook=name of the workbook' but without spaces, convert the spaces (if there are any) from the workbook name to + (plus) sign.
For example '=workbook=BI+SERVICE+Performance' represents the string for the 'BI SERVICE Performance' report.
Note: you can also send parameters to the report but since almost all the parameters have a default value (accept from dates) it's not necessary.
2.3.4 Web HTML tab – fill the HTML call with ' OracleOASIS.RunDiscoverer'.
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 2 Ends.
Stage 3:
Build an oracle application menu or submenu for each discoverer report that represented by the function you has created in stage 2.
Perform this stage for each pair - responsibility + report/function.
3.1 Enter the application in System Administrator responsibility.
3.2 Choose menu 'Security' and then submenu 'Responsibility' and then submenu 'Define'.
3.3 Locate the needed menu by the responsibility that you want to enable her to use the report – of course that the report should be granted for the responsibility via discoverer mechanism as well.
Do it by clicking on the flashlight that located in the left upper corner and find the needed responsibility.
3.4 Find the needed responsibility and select her via next screen (Don't forget to use % as wildcards)-choose by double click on her
3.5 Copy the menu name that related to the responsibility you have choose from the menu field located in the next screen and close the window.
3.6 From the navigator screen choose menu 'Application' and then submenu 'Menu'.
3.7 Locate the menu that you've copied in 3.5 (with the flashlight and the find screen, double click on the menu name – similar to 3.3 and 3.4) via next screen.
3.8 Press on the 'add record' sign (+) that located in the right upper corner of the screen (Do it after the mouse sign and focus is in the rows as you can see the oval mark).
3.9 Fill the prompt with what you want the user to see in the menu that will activate the report link and after fill the user function name as you have build her in stage 2 (Don't forget to save it).
Don't forget to press save button.
Stage 3 Ends.

Web Based Parameter Form 6i to 10g

I have a report that I can currenlty run using the activex control to run the report (Windows). I'm trying to move this same report to a web based report using Report Services 10g.
How do I get the Parameter from to show up (it's a paper based report, but I want it to show the same way on the web). Basically, trying to migrate the report to the web.
From what I've read (and understand), it seems like a LOT of work for every report to show parameters to the end user to run the report. Hopefully, I'm missing something.
I've basically taken the report as is and put it in the correct directory on the application server. I then use the following URL, but the report blows up with a LOL error:
http://testserver:7778/reports/rwservlet?report=MYREPORT.RDF&destype=cache&desformat=html

Hello,
Add the following paremeter in the URL :
paramform=yes

SSRS web based report viewer control rendering issues - text getting clipped chopped off

Hi,
I am using web based SSRS report viewer control to display SSRS reports in browsers like Chrome, FF, IE, Safari etc. My issue is some text is getting chopped off (clipped) in all cells of some reports. I investigated on my end by analyzing generated HTML
and I could see a problem in the HTML that report viewer control is generating. But I am afraid to apply any HTML or Javascript hacks at the moment considering we have hundreds of reports.
You can see in above image how text got chopped off. The problem in HTML (given below) is the text has been wrapped in a div tag with a fixed height. If I remove the height and also padding on parent TD, the text appears properly.
<td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597c" style="HEIGHT:5.00mm;background-color:#d3d3d3;"><div style="HEIGHT:3.24mm;overflow:hidden;"><table lang="en-US" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" border="0" class="Pd9776e5f7eaf4df696265b8b49d1da39_1_r17"><tbody><tr><td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597" style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;">MyType11</td></tr></tbody></table></div></td>
Please let me know if you have faced a similar scenario before.
Here is link to stackoverflow thread -
Stackoverflow thread

Murtaza

Hi Murtaza,
According to your description, when you display the report with Report Viewer control, the data within the text is cutoff.
Based on my research, the issue could cause by that Arial Unicode MS font hasn’t been installed on the server where Reporting Services run. Besides, when we use ReportViewer control to render report, we’d better set
AsyncRendering="true" in the Report Viewer control. Also please run the IE with compatibility mode. For more information, please refer to similar threads below:

Deepak,
There is no free lunch anywhere in this world, and the same is true for the training as well of Oracle modules. If you can't get time out to attend an Instructor based training, you have two choices,
1) Self Study CD Roms Oracle offers the trainining in a self paced learning format with CD Roms which have all whatis needed to make one start and grow with the learning of a specific module. You can check which module you need and can order the cd rom for that. Learn more about this from here,
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=35
2) Live Virtual Class This is the newest standard that Oracle has introduced in the training formats. As the name suggests, this is a class which is surely taught by an instructor only but this doens't need you to come and attend a course at a specific location , for example at Oracle's education office. You can attend the prorgam while being at your home/office as well. It offers rich video/audio expereince which doesn't make you feel that you are just learning sitting in front of a computer. Learn more about it from here,
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=233
That said, both the options mentioned above are NOT free and there is NO free event happening anywhere which goes from the start to finish of a module. There are some small web events but they can't be called a training class as there are just some topics discussed in them. So once again, don't look for free lunch, its not there anywhere.

Web based or web enabled

Hi,
Lot of our clients are requesting us to give them information regarding if we are web-based or web-enabled. My question is
1. If I am using oracle forms/reports/discoverer 10g and running it over the web with Oracle application server is that web-based or web-enabled
2. What is the difference between web-based and web-enabled
3. Is speed a factor?
Thanks
Munish

Hi,
I don't see a real diference. Web enabled would be appropriate to Forms and Reports 6i that could run on client-server and web.
Now that they are all web only, the distinction is gone and they are web based (if not you will continue calling everything "web enabled" that isn't built with J2EE, PHP etc.)

Icons files will not displaying when running web-based forms locally

My icon files (jpgs) are not displaying from within Forms Developer 10g or when I run the web-based forms from within Developer. I have tried the following without success:
6.4 Deploy Icons for Forms Running on Web
Option One: For Running Web Based Forms from Within the Forms Builder in Oracle 10g Developer Suite
1) Copy all the icon image files (*.jpg) to the directory of <Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir>\forms\j2ee\formsapp\formsweb\icons
2) Make sure to set imageBase=DocumentBase in the file < Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir >\forms\server\formsweb.cfg.
3) Edit the < Oracle_10g_Developer_Suite_Installation_Root_Dir >\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat file, specify the icon image file extension by modifying the following line:
default.icons.iconepath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=jpg
Save this Registry.dat file.
4) Restart the OC4J Instance.
5) Launch the form from Forms Builder.
I just got a new laptop and am setting everything up again. I have everything setup the same way as on my old machine (same as above). It worked fine on my old computer but not on the new one.

Authentication between Single Sign-On and Web based applications

Hi everyone,
I need to create a way in Portal 10g (10.1.2.0.2) that allow me to do the following:
Once the user is logged on Portal (against Single Sign-On - SSO) he doesn't need to retype his username/password when he access a web based application throught the portal, in my case, an ASP application (not .NET, just ASP).
I made a test creating a External Application in SSO and after publishing this portlet (external application) inside portal.
It worked, BUT I was prompted to inform username/password to log on the aplication.
So, the user end up entering his password twice.
Does anybody know a way to acomplish this task?
The documentation I'm researching is:
Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On
Administrator's Guide
10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
B14078-02
Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On
Security Guide
10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
B13999-03
Thank you very much,
Diogo Santos.

have figured out how to secure any HTML, ASP, PHP, CFM, etc. web page again Portal / OID using the PDK toolkit.
Using AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and one Oracle Stored Procedure just adding a simple Javascript call to any HTML, ASP, PHP, etc. web page can secure it via Oracle SSO (OID). Access to any secured web page will require that it to be linked from an authenticated Portal session or a page opened in an authenticated Portal session.
This process can be easily modified to add in group security etc. This is just my starting point.
1) Create a stored procedure
# Make sure it has access to portal.wwctx_api.is_logged_on
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE login_ajax_check (
display_error IN number default NULL) AS
BEGIN NULL;
If portal.wwctx_api.is_logged_on = false then
htp.prn('DENY');
ELSE
htp.prn('ALLOW');
END IF;
Exception when others then htp.p('DENY');
END;
2) Use this Javascript in any page you wish to secure.
<-- Begin Paste Here -->
<script>
var allowgo=2
function ajaxCallRemotePage(url)
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
// Non-IE browsers
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.onreadystatechange = processStateChange;
req.open("GET", url, false);
req.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", "Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT");
req.send(null);
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
// IE
req = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
req.onreadystatechange = processStateChange;
req.open("GET", url, false);
req.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", "Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT");
req.send();
else
return; // Navigateur non compatible
// process the return of the "ajaxCallRemotePage"
function CheckPortal()
ajaxCallRemotePage('[Your page calling the procedure from above]');
function processStateChange()
if (req.readyState == 4)
if (req.status == 200)
if (req.responseText.substring(0,4) == 'ALLO')
allowgo = 0;
else
allowgo = 1;
function doPage()
if (allowgo==1)
window.location='[Your login or error page]';
CheckPortal();
doPage();
</script>
<-- End Paste Here -->
That's it!!! Super easy. It works great too.
