Login form of Discoverer 10g Plus/Viewer

Hi all,
can you tell me if there is a way to get the login form of Discoverer 10g Plus/Viewer to remember the last login credentials (except password) like the Desktop version do? Have I missed a setting in preferences file or AS Control?
OK I can create an own HTML page which looks exactly the same as the login page and saves the values in a cookie but time is money and I think this feature should be solved by Oracle itself.
Thanks in advance,
Uwe

  • Does Discoverer 10g Plus allow uploading of reports from local drives?

    Hi ,
    Does Discoverer 10g Plus allow uploading of reports from local drives? Or like 4i is this only possible from Desktop Client?
    Regards
    Ram

    No, you can't bring in Disco workbooks from a local drive with 10g Plus.
    Only from the database and/or scheduled workbooks.

  • 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.

    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,

  • Can I schedule a discoverer In Oracle Discoverer Desktop, Plus, Viewer ?

    Hi All,
    I have a version of Oracle Administrator : 10.1.2.48.18. My customer tells me if he will be able to schedule a report in the Oracle Discoverer, and then this schedule send an email with the information that shows the report.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mariano.-

    Hi,
    You cannot schedule and email using Discoverer scheduling. You have to use a third party scheduler and Discoverer Desktop. This article (http://ascbi.com/downloads/Third%20Party%20Documents/Scheduling%20through%20Concurrent%20Manager.pdf) may give you some ideas on how you can use third party scheduling with apps. A bit of extra development will also give you emailing of the scheduled output.

  • Opening multiple workbooks in 10g Plus

    Hi there
    Is there any way that multiple discoverer workbooks can be open at the same time in the same Discoverer 10g Plus session?
    We have a separate workbook which is used to set session parameters for the view objects that our reports are based on. We can open this workbook, set the session parameters, then open and run the required workbooks after the first workbook is closed, but we will quite often get connection errors as a result - especially if we then need to reopen the first workbook and change some of the session parameters again.
    There are no issues in the Desktop edition, where you can happily have more than a single workbook open at one time.
    Has anyone encountered this issue, and managed to do anything about it?
    Regards
    CK

    In the example given below, I have used 2 Discoverer Viewer reports.
    Note:-Please change the necessary values to suit your environment like host name, port,username/password, database name, EUL name, Workbook names etc
    The steps are listed below
    1) Create a .htm file with the following piece of code and name it "1.htm"
    <HTML>
    <BODY ONLOAD="document.forms[0].submit();">
    <FORM ACTION=host:port/discoverer/viewer METHOD=POST>
    <input type=hidden name=username value=SCOTT>
    <input type=hidden name=password value=TIGER>
    <input type=hidden name=database value=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<host_name>)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=db10g)))>
    <input type=hidden name=eul value=SCOTT>
    <input type=hidden name=connectionAccessType value=RELATIONAL>
    <input type=hidden name=connectionLocale value=en_us>
    <input type=hidden name=wb value=test_wb>
    <input type=hidden name=ws value=test_ws>
    </FORM>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    2) If you are passing parameters, add the following to the code above in the .htm file, example
    <input type=hidden name=qp_from value=01-JAN-1980>
    <input type=hidden name=qp_to value=01-jan-1985>
    <input type=hidden name=qp_from1 value=01-JAN-1970>
    <input type=hidden name=qp_to1 value=01-JAN-2007>
    So the code becomes
    <HTML>
    <BODY ONLOAD="document.forms[0].submit();">
    <FORM ACTION=host:port/discoverer/viewer METHOD=POST>
    <input type=hidden name=username value=SCOTT>
    <input type=hidden name=password value=TIGER>
    <input type=hidden name=database value=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=db10g)))>
    <input type=hidden name=eul value=SCOTT>
    <input type=hidden name=connectionAccessType value=RELATIONAL>
    <input type=hidden name=connectionLocale value=en_us>
    <input type=hidden name=wb value=Hello>
    <input type=hidden name=ws value=Hi>
    <input type=hidden name=qp_from value=01-JAN-1980>
    <input type=hidden name=qp_to value=01-jan-1985>
    <input type=hidden name=qp_from1 value=01-JAN-1970>
    <input type=hidden name=qp_to1 value=01-JAN-2007>
    </FORM>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

  • XSLX as File Type in 10g Plus or 10g Desktop ?

    Does anyone know if any patch is available to make xslx as file type in either Discoverer 10g PLUS or DESKTOP
    Thanks

    No. Discoverer generates Excel files with a .xls extension.
    These cannot be changed to .xlsx in the export renderers.
    You can export the report in .xls format and the same can be open with Excel 2007 (xslx) .
    Thanks,

  • Scheduling in Discoverer 10g

    Hi,
    We are currently running Discoverer 10g plus. Is it possible to increment the parameters on the schedule similar to Oracle requests that give the option to 'Increment date parameters each run'?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi
    That is the correct location but it isn't on the Application Server home. You'll find it on the PC that has the Administrator tool installed.
    Typically it's here: C:\Oracle\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer\util

  • Discoverer 10g does it support clobs

    Does discoverer 10g plus support clobs?
    I'm in the worksheet editor and I'm trying to add items to the worksheet, if I select a item which has an item of number then try to select a clob item then nothing happens the clob item doesnt move to the selected list. I have to move all my clob items into the selected list first then add the rest of items.
    Is this just one of oracle features or are clobs not supported?

    Hi,
    Clobs are supported. However, you cannot combine a aggregrate with a CLOB so you need to add in the detail of any number items.
    It is probably a bug that forces you to add the clob items first.

  • Create a dashboard like a page on Discoverer Desktop / Plus?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to create a dashboard like a page on Discoverer Desktop / Plus / Viewer. A page (or workbook sheet) with 4 – 6 graphs and one table?
    e.g. below layout (G is my graph and T is table)
    G1 | G2
    G3 | G4
    G5 | T1
    Thanks

    Hi
    This is not possible in Discoverer Plus, Viewer or Desktop. However, using Portal you can do this by having six different, or releated, Discoverer graphs displayed side by side. You just create six different portlets. Simple as that.
    Best wishes

  • Tweaking defaults of Discoverer 10g (Viewer and Plus) login page

    Using information gleaned from the Metalink notes referenced below, we've had our admins successfully configure our default Discoverer 10g login pages (for Viewer and Plus) with the following tweaks:
    1) Remove the "typo-prone" entry box for RESPONSIBILITY (on an Apps-Mode EUL) in favor of the subsequent drop-down LOV option to select available responsibilities
    2) Re-order CONNECT TO options to make the more frequently used APPS-MODE option first in the drop-down list, followed by the STANDARD (relational) and finally, OLAP (to be hopefully implemented at some future date)
    3) Re-label CONNECT TO options with terminology more understandable to our end-users in order to better understand choices
    We would like, if possible, to further enhance the relative efficiency of the user login experience by making the APPS-MODE option the default selection upon initial entry to the page (the above-indicated re-ordering of the entries didn't appear to affect Oracle's continued default selection of the STANDARD option).
    If anyone has any suggestions / tips to accomplish this, we would greatly appreciate your feedback. I should also say, that we don't possess a lot of Java Development skills and therefore would appreciate any directions provided in a "cookbook/recipe" manner similar to those provided in the Metalink documents we were able to utilize for the changes made thus far.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I would have to suspect that the answer to the question of restricting responsibilities might well be yes.
    Here's one idea:
    Because responsibilities come from FND_RESPONSBILITIES, can you write a piece of SQL that positively identifies the responsibilities that are used inside Discoverer? If you can do that, I'm wondering whether a Discoverer logon trigger might be able to set a VPD policy to only allow those responsibilities.
    I don't have any time to try it otherwise I would. Is there anyone who can pick this up and run with it to see what can be made to happen?
    Best wishes

  • Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications errors.

    Starting Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications R12 errors.
    Here is some general config information that is suspected to be the issue.
    1. Running Oracle Applications R12 over HTTPS.
    2. Running Discoverer Plus/Viewer over HTTP.
    3. Calling menu item that calls a function to start Plus/Viewer.
    Function Definition called by the menu item is listed blow.
    Properties Tab: Type=SSWA jsp function Context Dependence=Responsibility
    Form Tab: Parameters="mode=DISCO"
    Web HTML Tab: HTML Call=OracleOasis.jsp
    Fact: Starting Discoverer Plus using a URL works fine in the browser. The login page comes up and I can look in to Plus.
    The page that dose a redirection to start the Plus applet or Viewer web page fails with this error in IE 7.
    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
    Most likely causes:
    You are not connected to the Internet.
    The website is encountering problems.
    There might be a typing error in the address.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    Check that the ICX system profiles are set correctly for your Discoverer configuration. In particular the ICX: Discoverer Launcher and ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher system profiles.
    When IE displays an error is the URL displayed in the browser a correct Disco URL?

  • Tables or views to be included in Discoverer 10g

    Hi,
    In our test environment we have migrated to R12 and using Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.55.26). Since there is a way the security has changed I require some help.
    In production we are using 11i and the same version of Discoverer. In production I could use the "_v" views or tables where there was in-built security. When a user queries in discoverer, the user would be able to view data only pertaining to his/her responsibility.
    In our test environment please can someone help me for the following (R12 with Disc 10g)
    Which is the "_v" views or tables or "where clause to restrict the access" to user in discoverer wherein based on the users responsibility, the data will be displayed.
    GL Balances
    GL Hearder & Details
    AR Balances
    Receipts
    AR Invoice header & lines & distribution
    AP Balances
    AP Invoice header & lines & distribution
    Payment Overview
    Prepayment Enquiry
    Kindly note, regardless of the security setup in the R12, I would want a "_v" views or tables or "where clause" which can be used always.
    If there is solution based on "_v" views or tables and a solution also based on "where clause", which would be ideal to use in terms of performance.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can use the eTRMs to get this information.
    Follow this link https://etrm.oracle.com/pls/trm11510/etrm_fndnav.ls_apps or search for eTRM in Metalink (you'll need a Metalink login to access the eTRMs).
    Go to the FND tab and choose the product OTA - Learning Management. This will give a list of all the relevant tables. OTA_EVENTS and OTA_DELEGATE_BOOKINGS would be a good place to start.
    Hope this helps,
    Kim

  • Discoverer 4i Plus returns no data when using views with db link references

    I am using Discoverer 41 Plus to view reports online.
    When I create a worksheet based on a view, that only references local tables, everything is OK and Disco plus shows the output OK.
    When I create a worksheet based on a view, that references a Database link, Disco plus gives me an "Query caused no data to be returned" error.
    Is this to be expected from Discoverer Plus?
    Thanks - Sue.

    I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the default position (and default aggregate) for the EUL folder item? I can see that some of the folders have number type items with default position 'Data Point' and others have these with default position of 'Top or Side'. I'm totally stabbing around in the dark here; looking at EUL folders which exhibit the problem and those which don't.
    I've tried changing one field to 'Data Point' and it hasn't helped. Will try changing the join items now I think.
    If anyone has any comments, would be v. grateful as I'm looking at dropping folders which have quite a bit of code around them and trying to re-create them exactly, which is a risky and horrible solution.

  • How to display binary file saved in BLOB column in Discoverer PLUS /VIEWER

    HI, Friends,
    I tried to display the binary file saved in the database in BLOB column with the *.doc or *.xls fomats, but it seemed not work at all. I can display them in discoverer DESKTOP, but not the web version PLUS or VIEWER. MY Discoverer PLUS/VIEWER version is 9.0.4.45.02 and the database is 9.2.0.4. Are there any special setting/configuration in somewhere (Discoverer administration/Applicaiton server/PLUS/VIEWER?)
    Any help /information will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    Sorry but this feature is not available in the web version of 9.0.4.45. You will have to write your own mod_plsql function to download the file.
