List of discoverer reports

Dear All
Is there any query from which i can find list of discoverer reports and with mention of who all has access to it.
Regards
Musaddaq

Hello,
i you have you workbooks in your EUL (because older version allow to save it on the filesystem), you can query the eul for that.
For Example:
http://www.club-oracle.com/articles/details-of-discoverer-report-by-sql-query-317/
I think with that base you should be able to query what you need.

Hi,
You can use the following query to identify distinct Discoverer 10g Viewer / Plus users in the E-Business Suite database:
select distinct(substr(module,10,instr(module,':',1)-10)) from v$session where module like 'Disco10%';
Alternatively, you can use the following query to see all Discoverer 10g connections in the database:
select sid,serial#,osuser,terminal,module from v$session where module like 'Disco10%';

Additionally, If using Discoverer 10g, then you can use Enterprise Manager Application Server Control to monitor information as well.
Click on the Discoverer link, then the performance link.

Discoverer Report - SQL Query to retrieve list of parameters

Hi
We have around 100 Discoverer reports and I'm trying to find the list of parameters used in each report.
Is there any SQL query that I can use to find the parameters used for each report
or
should I open the reports one by one to fetch the list of parameters used.
I checked the tables in EUL4_US schema but no luck.
- Amarnath.K

give this a try for starters. It looks at the custom folders defined in the business area, which is where any LOV's defined for you parameters would be. As far as looking at the workbooks themselves, no, there is no way to do that in sql.
select
decode(eb.ba_created_by,'ORACLE_APPS','Seeded','Custom') Origin,
eb.ba_name business_area,
eo.OBJ_TYPE,
decode(eo.obj_type, 'SOBJ','From Database', 'CUO', 'Custom Query', 'COBJ', 'Complex Folder', eo.obj_type) obj_type_desc,
eo.OBJ_NAME folder,
eo.OBJ_DESCRIPTION folder_description,
decode(eo.sobj_ext_table, NULL, NULL, eo.obj_ext_owner || '.' || eo.sobj_ext_table) base_object,
decode(es.seg_obj_id, null, UPPER(trim(eo.obj_object_sql1)||trim(eo.obj_object_sql2)||trim(eo.obj_object_sql3))
, UPPER(trim(es.seg_chunk1) || trim(es.seg_chunk2) || trim(es.seg_chunk3) || trim(es.seg_chunk4))) SQL
from
eul4_us.EUL5_BAS eb,
eul4_us.EUL5_objs eo,
eul4_us.EUL5_BA_OBJ_LINKS ebol,
eul4_us.eul5_segments es
where
eb.BA_ID = ebol.BOL_BA_ID and
ebol.BOL_OBJ_ID = eo.OBJ_ID and
eo.obj_id = es.seg_obj_id (+) and
decode(eb.ba_created_by,'ORACLE_APPS','Seeded','Custom') = 'Custom'
order by
/*decode(eb.ba_created_by,'ORACLE_APPS','Seeded','Custom'), */eb.ba_name, ebol.BOL_SEQUENCE, es.seg_sequence

Which table keeps the Discoverer Report list?

Hi,
I'm new to Discoverer, actually I haven't started to use yet.
I would like to know is it possible to retrieve a list of reports created in Discoverer so that I can add them to the standard reports that I developed using Oracle Report builder in my application. If possible, which table can I get the report list?
My second question, is it possible to run a Discoverer report directly if I have the report link? Or everytime I run I must enter the schema username and password?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi
With regards to question 1, I don't believe this is possible any more. The older versions were rather flexible in that approach but sadly, no more.
With regards to question 2, using a VPD you can authenticate to your heart's content using any custom defined table you wish. This is just an out of the box idea, and I don't know whether it will work, but here goes.
The table that stores public connections is this one: orasso.wwsso_psex_user_info$
I am wondering what would happen if we put a restriction on SELECT from that table to not allow selection if the SSO user was not of a certain class or did not have a certain privilege.
Would anyone else care to comment here?
By the way, inside SQL, this code SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') will return the SSO user.
For more info on public connections, look here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B13918_03/conns.htm#i1016752

Discoverer report does not sum up the column

Hi All,
I am running the discoverer report from discoverer desktop and was
trying to use the sum function to sum the total amount of the report.
The sum function does not work and it only display Cell
Sum: (blank) with no actual data.
When i checked the report details some columns are calculated based on the columns which i want to sum up.
Any ideas please share with me
Thanks in advance.

b) What is the difference between sum and cell sum? Well, I certainly won't claim to be a Discoverer guru. From what little I have seen, the practical result is not any difference really between the two. SUM of a calculated row is adding up the calculation to the total. Whereas cell sum is like adding up the individual values behind the calculation you see. The distinction makes more sense when you have SUM DISTINCT and CELL SUM DISTINCT being involved. Then you will see a difference in the calculated total. But for SUM and CELL SUM itself, I have not seen any difference between the two, but I am still pretty new to Discoverer.
e) Aggregate field from a folder. Well, this may be one where you have to play around with your own data to understand. Let me try to give you a simple example. Let's say you have a sales table with 100 rows. You have sales data for 5 cities, and each city has 20 rows of sales history. If you pick Sales Dollars Detail and City Name for your workbook and run, you will get 100 rows in your result (complete detail listing). So that is what happens with no aggregation. Now, instead of doing Sales Dollars Detail, you pick Sales Dollars Sum (the same thing as saying SUM(Sales Dollars) in an SQL statement). Run the workbook. You will now get 5 rows of data, instead of 100 rows of data. You will get one row for each city. If you look at the SQL that Discoverer generates, you will see that it has now done a GROUP BY in the SQL statement. Notice I have not said anything about DISTINCT (just trying to keep things simple).
Now, lets say you do a workbook for City, Part Number, and Sales Dollars Sum. Run the workbook. You get a summarized result (say maybe 10 rows of summary data this time). If you look at the Discoverer SQL, the GROUP BY is now by city and part number, automatically doing that because you picked the SUM version of sales dollars.
Now lets say you add Sales Units Detail to the workbook. Discoverer will give you a warning message that you are have both an aggregate and a non-aggregate and that you may end up with unpredictable results. Run the workbook. You will be back to 100 rows, because you specified sales units in detail.
Most of the time I do not want to see detail rows in a workbook. So most of the time I am picking the SUM aggregate for an amount item.
Hope this explains things a bit. Sounds like maybe you need to take the Discoverer Create Queries and Reports class. Would help you understand these things better. Good luck.

Unable to run discoverer report from command prompt

Hi,
I'm trying to run the discoverer report from command prompt and i need to schedule the same.
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters?
If i don't pass the optional parameters, the parameter screen is getting pop-up? How to skip optional parameters?
Also, how to pass the data ranges (format for date parameters) ?
I'm using the below command in command prompt:
cd/d E:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin
dis51usr /connect username/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" 40351 /parameter "From Date" "01-JAN-2007" /parameter "To Date" "28-FEB-2007" /parameter "Observation Status" C /parameter "Observation Name" "Abdominal Girth" /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStatusOutput11"
Any one please reply me. Its very urgent.
Regards,
Sreedhar

Hi,
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters? You should be able to use a comma separated list e.g.
/parameter "Observation Name" "'Abdominal Girth','Abdominal Girth2'"
How to skip optional parameters?I don't think you can. You have to supply all parameters and then decode out the parameters you don't need in the workbook.
how to pass the data ranges You cannot pass a date range. You can pass a start and end parameters. The default format for the date parameters is DD-MON-YYYY but this can change depending on the NLS settings and format of the data item.

Discoverer report showing wrong output

Hi all
We have made a discoverer report called Generic Employee list which is having 37202 records. But in the front end it is showing only 7001 records.
I have checked that query in toad there i am getting 37202 records and i checked in discoverer desktop there it shows 37202 but when iam exporting it to Excel or CSV file it has only 10054 records.
Its urgent. Kindly advise on the same.
Thanks & Regards
Nakshathra

Hi Nakshathra,
Go to Tools --> Options --> Query Governer, uncheck the Limit Retrived data Query, some times it will set to default 10000 records else manually you can set the limitation.
I hope this helps you.

Running Discoverer reports into portal using SSO portal login - help

Hi,
I am trying to run disco reports into oracle portal using discoverer portlet providers -list of worksheet. What I want to achieve is as follows
1) login to portal using SSO userid /pwd - Done
2) Enable discoverer for SSO - Done
*3) Use discoverer list of worksheets to show reports into portal but want to filter the list of worksheet to currently logged in portal user. This so that users looged in only sees the reports to which they have access in discoverer - Need Help*
*4) Once user runs this report then I want to filter the discoverer data based on users login or portal group - Help*
Can someone please help with issue no 3/4 urgently.
Mant thanks
Ganesh

Hi Michael,
Assuming I have created the private connections using CAPI I still have my doubts as follows
Do I have to then login as each portal user and add the list of worksheet portlet for each user and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Considering we have 500+ users this will be huge cumbersom task for me.
Also when I tried to do this before loggin as each portal user when I logged in as second portal user I could see the list of worksheet portalet added by the first user which means I have to edit it but even that was not possible because it would not let me edit as only the page own whi created the portlet was allowed to edit (that is the first user)
OR
Do you have to give portal user permission to edit the page so that they can log on themselve to add the list of worksheet portlet on the page by selecting their private connection and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Finally I know someone has made it work using URL links and it works as follows
1) Map the portal and disco user into a table
2) Create disco private connections
3) when portal user loggs in and click on "Show my discoverer report" it then runs a PL/SQL package which in turn identifies the private connection details and creates a URL out of it as follows
[http://portal.ccm.ac.uk/discoverer/app/partialConnect?password=IRTIMUDV123_=qplus=VDUMITRI=browser_selected=connect=RELATIONAL=QPRIS=viewer]
clicking on this link open discoverer with private list of workbook/worksheet.
Please advise which way should I follow.
Thanks

How to use Pl/Sql function in Discoverer report

Hi Everybody,
Would you be able to provide a workflow/guidance how to use sql function in Discoverer right from creating the function using PLSQL Developer.
(I am new to Oracle environment... prev. worked as analyst with Microsoft Access... took PL/Sql class in school a few years ago)
We are using Discoverer Desktop.
a) Just emailed dba for permission to create pl/sql function.
b) Recently got Discoverer Administrator installed on my pc.
can you pls add to the list:
c)....
d)....
etc.?
tx for your help, sandra

Hi Kranthi,
Thx for your warm words....
The links you provided are great! Thx soooo much!
Thanks to you and the rest of forum members, am able to use what you've all taught me
with other Discoverer reports.... so i was able to do more on my own....
About a month ago, I got access to Discoverer Admin, and was able to paste SQL to create a custom folder.
Then i joined the custom folder to an existing baseline folder.
I have found that sometimes when I use calc within a calc when the calcs use analytic functions, that Discoverer
just displays null in the column. I thought that maybe instead I could create my own function as a work-around.
I wrote IT for permissions to create views, functions etc. Hopefully, they'll approve and can move toward learning
pl/sql functions for Discoverer.
tx again, sandra

Reasons for Introducing database functions for Discoverer Reporting Needs

Hi All,
I would like to know the criteria other organizations have used in creating custom database functions specifically for Discoverer reporting needs. It seems good and appropriate to identify these reasons in order that they have a sufficiently good reason (e.g. in presenting this to a change management board).
Here is a quick swipe:
-query explain plan improvements
-take away the complexity of having the end user deal with complex calculations
-consistency of a value (e.g. a complex amortization calculation)
-an attribute is used from a dependent table with a minimum cardinality of zero
Can anyone list other good reasons in terms of Discoverer reporting?
Thanks,
Patrick
Edited by: Patrick Bacon on Jul 15, 2009 10:30 AM

Hi Patrick
In addition to the reasons you have given the reasons for having functions anyway apply just as equally to Discoverer as they do to other applications.
Typically the main reasons why I would use a function are:
a) due to the complexity of the code, or
b) to evaluate something which an end user either could not do or does not have access to.
For example if a user needs to have aggregations from multiple tables side by side in a report, typically from tables which have no joins between them, I write functions to go get the individual results.
One specific function that I use a lot is one that calculates the number of working days between any given two days. Some of my HR customers use such a function to calculate the number of sick days for an employee when obviously only working days should count. Doing this in a normal Discoverer calculation would be very hard. Retail customers might use this for calculating the number of days it took to ship and item.
There are other reasons why I use functions but these are the typical ones.
Best wishes
