Linking Discoverer to eBS - Question

Hi,
Our discoverer server is different from the one where Apps is installed. I would like to know if it is possible to create a link to discoverer report from apps (By following How to Create a Link to a Discoverer Workbook in Apps11i [ID 278095.1] in metalink).
When I followed all the steps, and I get Page not found error.
Ofcourse, the URL that it is opening is incorrect.
For example: to open apps, we use:
http://nsdg-10:8000/...
And for Discoverer we use:
http://nsdg-11:7777/discoverer/plus
And when I link the report to Apps, the link that opens up is:
http://nsdg-10:8000/OA_HTML/OracleOasis.RunDiscoverer?.....
Can someone please help me understand how i correct the link that it is opening? I tried to change the value of the profile option (ICX: Discoverer Launcher to http://nsdg-11:7777/discoverer/plus?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]) and it still did not work,
The current value is however (which is not even the correct server on which discoverer is installed).
http://nsdg-10:8000/discoverer/plus?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
You do need to configure the ICX profiles correctly:
ICX: Discoverer Launcher : : http://nsdg-11:7777/discoverer/plus?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher : http://nsdg-11:7777/discoverer/viewer?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]

You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

Discoverer 11g patching question

Discoverer 11g patching question
I need to apply patch 13643211 which asks us to
Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to WebTier home,
say "[MW_HOME]/Oracle_WT1" directory.
I am not able to figure out what is the web tier home. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
This is what we have by default
Middleware Home Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware
Oracle Home Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/as_1
Oracle Instance Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_1
Oracle Instance: asinst_1
Domain Option: Create Domain
Domain Name: ClassicDomain
Domain Home: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain
Thank you

I assumed that the webtier refers to the instance_home, but it looks like it is the oracle_home I should be patching (since the the patch is for OHS). Can somebody please clarify?

Make sure your system software is up to date.
Click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
And try troubleshooting Flash. Uninstall then reinstall.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Discoverer and R12 question

We've just upgraded our DB to 11.2.0.1 and are now looking to upgrade to R12. We heavily use Discoverer. Having been to a few seminars, could someone confirm that the HR schema is pretty much the same, or will we find we will have to rewrite our HR Discoverer reports? From everything I've seen so far it has been the Finance modules which are dramatically different.
Thanks

Please see this link for the changes between 12.1.3 and the previous releases.

Discoverer Desktop Graphing Questions

I have several questions about the graphing tool in Discoverer Desktop:
1. I'm bringing in a customer id field which I convert with a to_char in the query from a numeric field. Most of them are 5-digit, but some are 4. I notice in the x-axis the customer id's appear only for the 5 digit id's, and for the 4-digit ones the identifier appears. i.e. if the 5th record has an id of 1508, instead of displaying 1508 it displays 5. Does anyone know how to correct this?
2. In the y-axis values, is it possible to display more than 5 decimal places? (We're dealing with very small percentages). When I try to enter 6 or higher as the decimal value in Options, it says invalid number.
3. When I open an existing workbook, it readjusts the y-axis scale to a max of 1, when I've set it to .0001. How I can I make this retain my scale values?
4. Is it possible to display the y-values in the graph area itself next to the plot points?
Thanks for any help!!!!

Hi paul,
Its a good idea to upgrade from 4i to 10g 4i is no more used by many and their are some issues or bugs with it.The latest version is 11g which has been released 1 week back.If not go with 10g version available.
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?Yes they have to stored in the database so any ened user can access them from plus or viewer.
Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.Yes,if the reports are registered as different reports and if the end user has access to both the reports thn he can open and compare it OR if both reports are in same workbook as different sheets than its easy to view or compare.
NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.It should show blank,might be some problem.In discoverer 10g i think you will not find this issues.
Hope this helps you.
Best Wishes,

Discoverer 10G Plus Questions

Hi
We're in the process of upgrading from Discoverer 4 (APPS EUL) to 10G. We're doing away with the Desktop client. Most users will be given access to Discoverer Viewer and other users will be given access to Plus. We have recently upgraded or DEV instance and there are a few "questions" (i.e. gripes) that users have come back to me with:
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?
2) Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.
3) NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.
I'd very much appreciate feedback on any of the 3 points above.
Thanks.
Paul.

How to link discoverer report to E-Business Suite

Good day
I followed instructions as stipulated in document number doc 278095.1 and doc 433397.1.
However i dont understand the link between the two.Actual im still new in oracle.
If i understand correctly doc 433397.1 is used to register the discoverer workbook to OracleOasis.RunDiscoverer
package and i created the function using this parameter
'workbook=XX_LEAVE_LIABILITY&PARAMFORM=HTML' ....I do not know if is necessary to put the inverted commas.
and assign it to a certain menu .
I have created another function following 278095.1 instructions but i do not know how does the two functions link.
Because for doc 433397.1. the Properties tab TYPE is 'SSWA plsql function opens in new window (Kiosk Mode)
whereas for doc 278095.1 is ''SSWA plsql function'
and the form parameter for doc 278095.1 is ''workbook=XX_LEAVE_LIABILITY&PARAMETERS=sheet~1*' .
The function name is there assigned to a responsibility but i can not access the discoverer report it retuns message "Unable to authenticate session'

Hi,
The ICX parameters can be updated by going to the System Profile form on the System Administor menu.
Basically, the way the OracleOasis.RunDiscoverer function works is that it checks the ICX profiles from the user and builds a URL to start up Discoverer. It then adds to the end of the URL the workbook details from the form function so that the URL opens the workbook and supplies the parameters to the workbook.
So if the ICX: Discoverer Use Viewer profile is set to Yes then the function takes the URL in ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher. Hence you need to check that this URL (which should look like http://<HTTP Server>:<Port>/discoverer/viewer) actually launches Discoverer. The ?Connect=[APPS_SECURE] needs to be added to this URL so that Discoverer is launched without the need to reenter username/password.
It then concatenates the values in the ICX: Discoverer End User Layer and ICX: Discoverer End User Layer Language Override e.g. EUL_US to create the Discoverer EUL owner. The EUL parameter is then added to the URL so that Discoverer is started using this EUL.
Finally, the value in the parameter field in the form function is used to add the worksheet selection and if necessary worksheet parameter selection parameters onto the URL.

I'm having trouble getting my reset link for my security questions because I no longer have access to the recovery email address

I'm having trouble resetting my security questions because I no longer have access to the recovery email account that the link gets sent to and I can't make any purchases in the app or iTunes Store until this is fixed because I'm on a new iPad and it won't let me make any purchases until I've done so

Distributed FICO and HR/PY and EBS Questions

Hi experts -
Changing our landscape from a single integrated system to a distributed HR/PY and FICO environment (I.e. 2 different instances). In the distributed architecture I understand the Payroll Check (tcode RFFOUS_C) print program still runs in the HR/PY instance and the check register is also updated in the HR/PY instance. However, the GL posting that include open item managed bank clearing account(s) for payroll checks is updated only in the FICO instance (via ALE) by the Posting to accounting process.
Can anyone tell me how and where the EBS should be run to clear the payroll checks and the GL payroll check clearing open item account? Again, the payroll checks will be in the check register in the HR/PY system but the GL payroll check clearing open item account will be in FICO instance.
Anyone out there have experience with this scenario?
Thanks!

Have you worked specifically with a distributed HR/PY and FICO architecture? Or, are you answering this question based on your understanding of the payment process from FI? If you have not worked hands-on with the distributed HR/PY and FICO architecture I do not think you understand the issue.
In the distributed HR/PY architecture the payroll checks are created in the HR/PY instance. The creation of the GL entry for the payroll check bank clearing account is created by an entirely separate process - the PY GL Posting run and the distributed model posts the GL to the FICO instance. Therefore, the check register is in the HR/PY instance and GL payroll check bank clearing account in in FICO.

External Link to Word document question

Hello, fellow RoboHelpers!
I have a quick question that I am hoping someone can answer
for me. :-)
I am using RoboHelp X5 and use Microsoft HTML Help (.CHM) as
my file output. I would like to link a Word document to one of my
topics, so when a user clicks the link, they will be prompted to
open/save the Word document.
The following are the steps I use to do this:
1) I type the text that I want the to use for the hyperlink,
highlight it, and select the Hyperlink tool (or press CTRL+K).
2) In the Hyperlink dialog box, I select "File" from the
"Link To:" section and select my Word document.
3) I select "Yes" to add the Word document to my project
folder.
4) In the Hyperlink diaglog box, I select OK, and the link
has been created.
5) I generate my Help project and test the link.
6) When I click the hyperlink, I receive a "File Download -
Security Warning" box asking me if I want to Open or Save the Word
document.
Problem #1 -- it appears that I can save the Word document by
clicking "Save" without any problems, but clicking "Open" does not
open the Word document in Microsoft Word. Why?
Problem #2 -- The warning box displays three criteria: the
file name, what type of file it is, and "From". I have issues with
the "From" line. While the .CHM file is attempting to call the Word
document from within the .CHM file, which is what I expected it to
do ... the path is, well, ugly looking :-P
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\RoboHelp%20Office\
RoboHTML\HTMLMicrosoftHTML\VRHelp.chm::/ICBA.doc
Is there any way that I can clean up this path? If I could at
least get rid of that mk:@MSITStore, that would be a good start.
If anyone has some suggestions, I am all for it!
Thank you very much,
--Jessica

The "mk:@MSITStore:" is the protocol for extracting from a
.chm file, much like an "http:" precedes a web address. I'm afraid
that just is part of the path if the Word document is embedded in
the help file.
Ahh, I am sorry to hear that that is the case. Thanks for the
information!

I don't know why your "Open" doesn't work. Does it open the
document within the browser window, or just not open it at all? Are
you adding the Word document as a baggage file? I don't know if
RHX5 does this automatically with your steps as I use an older
version.
John
Yes, the Word document is added as a baggage file. If I click
"Open", the Security Warning box disappears and nothing happens
(unfortunately).
In the Hyperlink properties, I realized that I had the link
opening in the "same window", so I changed it to display in a "New
Window". Now, when I generate/click the link, the Word document
tries to open in Internet Explorer (path and all). I get the same
message box as before asking me if I want to Open or Save the
document. Still, clicking "Open" will not open the Word document in
Microsoft Word. When I press Open, the box simply disappears and
the path remains in the Internet Explorer address bar. If I select
the path in the message bar and press Enter to bring up the
Open/Save prompt again, I can save the document ... but I cannot
Open it.
A thought just occurred to me while I was typing this: Would
the fact that I am using Microsoft Word 2007 have anything to do
with why the file will not open? I remember hearing that Office
2007 is not compatible with RoboHelpX5, so perhaps that is why the
document is not opening. Still, RoboHelpX5 doesn't seem to have a
problem saving the file to your harddrive regardless of the
filetype, and the Word document I am working with is a .doc file
anyway, compatible with Word 97-2003, not a .docx.

Opening a Word document
From time to time people ask how to open a Word document from

COMPILED CHM HELP - Rick advises that you can use an HTML
Help Shortcut control to accomplish the goal.
You simply specify the file name where you would normally
specify the application.
I tried to create a HTML Help shortcut by doing the
following:
1. I click the Insert Navigation Control button, then HTML
Help Controls > Shortcut
2. In the Button options box, I enter a text description for
the button and click Next.
3. In the Shortcut Selection, the first prompt says, "Program
to run when shortcut is activated." I search for my Word document
from within my Project Folder, select it, and press Next.
4. I leave the Font options the way they are.
5. I click Finish, and the button is created.
When I generate the project and test the button, nothing
happens when I click it. If I do specify the application (ex.
WINWORD.EXE), Word
does open when I click the button. How can I get it to call
a specific Word document?
Thanks for your time, guys!

HT5312 The link to reset security questions does not exist anywhere I have found...any know where I can get it?

Does anyone know how I can reset apple id security questions? In support they show a link but that does not existing anywhere that I can find. I just got a new phone and cannot buy anything without answering the questions but I cannot seem to get the answers right.

If you don't have the link then I assume that you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account, in which case see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
