LOV in Discoverer Desktop Edition 4.1 Vs. LOV in Discoverer 4i Viewer

I have developed an LOV for a parameter in Desktop Edition 4.1 which allows the user to either select a value from the LOV or enter a parameter from the keyboard. It is working perfectly.
However, when this same workbook is executed by the Discoverer 4i Viewer, it will only allow the user to select from the LOV and does not let the user enter any value from the keyboard.
I have not found any entries in metalink regarding this problem. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
John

Hi John
I'm afraid this is a feature of Discoverer Viewer. The same "feature" has been carried through into 9ias and 10g so I'm sorry to say that upgrading will not help you either.
The newest Discoverer though, codenamed Drake, does allow this and you can either select from a list of values or you can key your own value.
By the way, the new Discoverer also does not force you to enter any value. If you omit a value in a Drake parameter, Discoverer will assume you want all values.
Now the bad news is that Drake has not been released yet. You should expect to see an announcement sometime in January though.
Hope this helps
Regards
Michael

Checkbox in discoverer desktop edition

Hi,
The query we are executing created for cross tab report have plenty of views and is returning null data which needs apps intialization which cannot be done from discoverer.
I think loging into Discoverer desktop edition with oracle applications user would resolve the same.
I have checked the checkbox in desktop edition and logged in as operations/welcome. but it is showing as invalid user name /password.
please help in setup that must required to check and login to oracle applications user. Also Provide if there is any alternative.
I would be very much thankful if you could help me on this.
Best Regards,
Katty.

Hi,
The apps initialization can be done by Discoverer provided that you are connecting to an Apps mode EUL with an applications username and password.
You must specify that you want an Apps mode EUL when the EUL is created. Then when you connect to Disco Admin as the owner of the EUL you will be able to grant access privs and security to the Application users and responsbilities.
If you have an apps mode EUL and still get an invalid username/password then this could be because the application is running in secure mode. Then you need to copy the .dbc file to a local directory. Search this forum for details on how to do this.

Problem while installing discoverer desktop edition

HI
I find few error messages while installing discoverer desktop edition..
When i give oracle home as
name:OracleHome92
Location: DiscovererDesk
it gives me a error
" oracle discoverer doesnot support multiple installations thus it cannot be installed on oracleHome92.It can only be installed on 'OraHome92'"
When i give oracle home as
name:OraHome92
It automatically takes my 9i oracle home path i.e E:\oracle\ora92 and gives me a error like
"The location specified 'E:\Oracle\ora92', is already used an oracle home for an
'Oracle 82 beta'.It cann't be used as an oracle home for nt."
I have oracle 9i and form6i,report 6i installed in my system.
Please suggest me ..

Hi
The easiest way to get a fully working TNSNAMES in a version 4 environment is to use the Net 8 Configuration utility.
Here's a workflow:
1. From the Start button, select Start | Oracle for Windows NT | Oracle Net8 Easy Config
2. When it starts, check Add New Service and in the little box to the right type the name by which you want this connection to be known
3. Click the Next button
4. Select TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) and click the Next button
5. Enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the server that contains the database
6. In Port, enter the port number - it defaults to 1521
7. Click the Next button
8.In Database SID enter the name of the database, then click the Next button
9.Click the Test Service button
10. Provide a username and password for an account on the database, then click the Test button
11. If you see: Connecting.... The test did not succeed you got the username/password combination wrong or some other part of the setup
12. When you see: Connecting.... The connection test was successful click the Done button
13. Click the Next button
14. Click the Finish button
You should now have a valid TNSNAMES connection for use by Discoverer 4

Discoverer Report: A number field displays # when open in Desktop Edition

Hi Guys
I have created a folder in Admin Edition. I set Default Aggregation to Detail for Numeric fields.
I have created a workbook in Desktop Edition. When I open workbook(report) it displays # in numeric fields.
ANy idea why?
Cheers
Vijay

Hi Vijay
Any format change you make inside the EUL will generally only apply to new reports.
If the report already exists it will have picked up the format as it was at the time. You will have to manually adjust the format of the column inside the report.
Before you do this these is one more thing to check. Just grab the edge of the column and make it bigger just in case this is the cause. Desktop will not display part of the number so if the width of the column is not big enough to display the number Desktop will insert # instead. If this is not the case then right-click in the column and select Format Data. Using the Number tab increase the setting.

Few folders in Business area not visible in Desktop edition

I am using Discoverer 4 on Windows NT. I created a new business area using Administrative edition. When I used Desktop edition to create a new workbook, in Step 2, when I selected the new business area I created, the folders (tables) in this business area are listed in the Available list. A few of the folders that are shown in the Administrative edition are not shown in the Available List in the Desktop edition. Are there specific conditions for a folder to be listed in the Available list of the Desktop edition?
Please reply to [email protected]
Thanks.

I had a similar problem. What you might want to try is to Refresh the business area in the Admin edition. That should work.

Editing icloud pages document on desktop, edits not showing up on icloud

I have a pages document on my icloud called "ABC123"
I am on my mac
I go to FINDER > iCLOUD > PAGES FOLDER
in the pages folder I see the document "ABC123"
I click ABC123
It opens in pages on my desktop (not in browser)
I make an edit and type: "***?"
I click save.
When I open ABC123 in the browser-version of pages, my "***?" edit is not there.
Why are my edits not syncing with the icloud version even though I opened it through my icloud folder? Everything is updated (software and pages and icloud acct).... can we just not use the desktop version to edit icloud documents?
In other words:
I ask because I'd like to collaborate with others, but I would like to use my desktop version. They can use the browser to edit. but.... my desktop edits aren't saving to the collaborative online version of ABC123

Hello anonAnthony,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Yes, Pages and iCloud Drive can be used in the way you're describing. It sounds like you're seeing some unexpected behavior with this feature.
For troubleshooting, start with the tips in the "Documents on iCloud.com are not updated when changes are made on my iOS device or Mac" section of this article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting Documents in the Cloud - Apple Support
You may also want to close and re-open Pages and Safari, and test again.
If the steps above don't solve it, the article I mentioned recommends contacting iCloud Support for more help:
If you still need help, contact iCloud Support.

Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition

Your opinion of this backup solution!

Hi-I'm using Retrospect Desktop edition version 6 (actually version 6.1.126 is the latest downloaded update I have) and it works flawlessly on all my Macs, including the Mac Pro. Very easy to use, and lots of automation features if you leave your machine(s) on all the time. I've never had a problem with this or any previous version of it, and I recommend it highly.

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.

Default the sender name while sending email from discoverer 11g viewer

Hi,
Can we put a default value of a sender in the email which are sent from discoverer 11g viewer.??

Hello
Yes, you can do this but you have to edit one of the UIX files to do it. The following is taken from my new Discoverer 11h Handbook which will be out later in the year.
If you want to force users to send Discoverer reports from a prespecified e-mail account, use the following workflow:
Locate this file: $MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/WLS_DISCO/tmp/_WL_user/discoverer_11.1.1.2.0/<tmpfolder>/war/Email.uix
NOTE: In my system the name of the tmpfolder was 51oeh7. You may have a different name for <tmpfile> on your system and so may need to do a search for Email.uix.
Make a safe backup of Email.uix.
Find the following line and add the information in bold, changing [email protected] with your default email address:
<contents>
<messageTextInput required="yes" name="sender" disabled="true"
tip="[email protected]" columns="40"
prompt="${uix.data.nls['email.text.sender']}" text="[email protected]"/>
NOTE: In the above, you will be replacing text="${uix.eventResult.sender}" with your default email address like: text="myemail.mycompany.com"
Find the following line and add the line in bold below it:
<formValue name="event" value="sendEmail" />
<formValue name="sender" [email protected] />
NOTE: Make sure the domain name you provide is the same domain you are using for the SMTP server; otherwise, your Discoverer Viewer users will not be able to send e-mail.
Take a backup of the modified file and place it somewhere safe.
Stop and restart the WLS_DISCO server in the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
Notes concerning editing of UIX files:
Never make any changes without first backing up the UIX file you intend to work on. You need to go slowly and carefully, making backups as you go and trying your modifications on a test system first.
Any changes you make to a UIX file will not be supported by Oracle, and if you run into any problems with changes you make to a UIX file, you will be on your own, which is why you need a backup.
If you need future support, you will need to be able to prove that the issue you are encountering is not because of any changes you have made. You will basically need to have a clean instance to prove that the issue is still there.
Any upgrades or patches that you subsequently apply may overwrite any custom changes that you have made to the UIX files. It will be your responsibility to keep copies of any changes you have made, and it will be your responsibility to make sure these changes are still valid after any upgrade or patch.
NOTE: I cannot be held responsible if you tamper with your UIX files and mess up your system. You have been warned! That said, there are many examples for editing UIX files on Oracle’s Support site. So long as you are careful and heed the warnings mentioned, you should be fine
Best wishes

I can't logon to Discoverer 3i Viewer

Computer config:
Window 2000 Server
Oracle 9iAS (include Discoverer 3i VIEWER and Server)
Another computer config:
Window 2000 Server
Oracle 8iDS (8.1.6)
Error occur when I try to log on to Discoverer 3i Viewer. The error message is:
Authentication Failed.
(You do not have access to any End User Layer tables)
Therefore, I downloaded 'Discoverer Administration Edition 3.1.36 for Windows NT' to install it in Oracle 8i DS so that I can create 'End User Layer'.
The Oracle DS and the Discover 3i need to be installed in the same Directory(c:/oracle/oracle81). But, The Oracle Installer of the discoverer forbid to doing that. The error Message is:
The location specified, "D:\Oracle\Oracle81", is already in used as an Oracle home for "Oracle 816 Production"
It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'
If I try to install the discover 3i in different oracle home. The following error message appear:
Oracle Discoverer does not support multiple installation and therefore cannot be installed on "OraHomeDiscover". It can only be installed on OraHome81.
What do I need to do so that I can run the 'Discoverer Administration Edition'? Do I need to use Discoverer 4i for oracle 8.1.6?

Discoverer will be officially supported on Win2000 Servers with version 4.1.37, due out with 9iAS 1.0.2.2.
Regards,
Discoverer Team
