Menu "Export" in Oracle Discoverer Plus 10g

Hi..
Is there anyone knows how to hide "Export" menu in OracleBI Discoverer Plus 10g ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Handoko

I have a T420 Lenovo with dual video card configuration is causing the Discoverer Plus 10g views to not refresh correctly.
I was able to find a solution to this issue. It requires the following changes in the system BIOS.
• In BIOS under Config -> Display ->Change the Graphics Devices to Discrete
• In BIOS under Config -> Display ->OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus -> Changed to Disabled
Now system will only use the Nvidia Card versus the dual card configuration (Nvidia + Intel HD Graphics)
Discoverer Plus works correctly.
Hope this helps.

Export issue in discoverer plus (10G)

I'm unable to export the report result into either excel or text file from discoverer plus.
Error message is "Operation Failed".
Please help me in resolving this in discoverer 10G.

Hi, I happened to come across Murali's thread here while searching for something else.
If anyone is interested, the resolution was MetaLink Note 401600.1 (Exporting To Xls/Cvs/Txt Formats With Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) Plus or Viewer Fails With 'Error Operation Failed').
It involved deleting dc* files from the temporary directory we have identified for exporting temporary files. The temporary directory was full.
Once the dc* files were deleted, it resolved the export to XLS from Discoverer Plus issue for us this time.

Joining tables in Oracle BI Discoverer Plus 10g

My company just implemented Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g and I'm a little confused. It looks like this new version of Discoverer was created with the idea of "simplifying" things for the end user. But it seems to be lacking crucial features that our power users need. Like writing their own SQL statements.
Does anyone have any suggestions? What version of Discoverer should our advanced user's use? Can you suggest another tool? We could always give them SQL Developer, but this seems like overkill. It seems like Oracle has ignored a certain market segment. That is the power user segment. There are many users who can write SQL but do not work in IT. SQL Developer is too much but Discoverer is not enough.

Hi
These days, Oracle is much more accepting of carrying on and even improving legacy products, so long as there’s customers willing to pay support fees.
You just have to see what happened to JD Edwards. When Peoplesoft purchased this several years ago they hardly made any improvements to it and it was being run into the ground. When Oracle purchased Peoplesoft they acquired JD Edwards too but rather than letting the slide continue they have actually have been actively improving it. So much so, that they have issued a major upgrade, thus prolonging the life of JD Edwards for years to come. Oracle could easily have let it slip into obscurity and told the JD Edwards' customers that they needed to convert to E-Business Suite, but they didn't. This is despite the fact that JD Edwards runs on one of their prime competitor's platforms, the IBM AS400!
So you see, Oracle are not going to cut off their nose to spite their face. I think Oracle has being very professional with regards to the products that it has acquired. They don't seem to be acquiring them with the intention of dropping them. They seem to be genuinely interested in market share and keeping customers happy. At least that's the way recent acquisitions have played out - like Siebel Analytics - aka OBI Enterprise Edition.

Discoverer Plus 10g Title & Table Viewing Size

Is there a way to increase the screen resolution of the title and table area in Discoverer Plus 10g? The font size says 10pt, but on the screen it looks more like 4pt. I couldn't find any settings in Plus to change it. Thanks, Amy.

Cause
By default in Discoverer Plus 10.1.2 fonts are rendered smaller in Java
than in other Windows applications.
Already saved workbooks will not have any change in font and formats even if
your default fonts are changed unless these workbooks are explicitly opened and
modified for using new fonts. The cause for this behavior is that when
workbooks are saved, font information is also along with it. This is very lengthy approach if you have over 1,000 upgraded workbooks.
Solution
To implement the solution, for existing/upgraded workbooks please execute the following steps:
Set AdjustPlusFontSize = "True" in pref.txt file.
This setting will make Discoverer Plus to display the font size correctly. It specifies whether Discoverer Plus Relational adjusts the font size to correct a discrepancy in the Java virtual machine, resulting in a smaller font size than other Windows applications.
true = adjust font sizes
false = do not adjust font sizes
1.Navigate to <Discoverer Home>/discoverer/util directory.
2.Edit pref.txt file and modify the setting as
AdjustPlusFontSize = "true"
under [Application] section
3.Run the script applypreferences.sh

Emailing from discoverer plus 10g

Hi,
Please help on the ff question posed to me from our client who just had Discoverer Plus 10g implemented at their sites.
1. The old vs 3.1 desktop had the ability to send a report in an e-mail attachment to many recipients as a .dis file. This feature is no longer available. Is there plans to include this in future releases?
2. The old 3.1 vs was also able to save and open reports from the file system. This is no longer available on plus 10g. Is there plans to also include this feature in newer releases of plus.
pls advise.
thanks
saliha

Hi Saliha
The new 10g Desktop still has the email feature, as does the 10g Viewer tool. I doubt very much that Oracle will add emailing to Plus because Viewer is where the users are supposed to run their reports. Plus is a developer tool so I think you will be out of luck. Many folks that I go to initially say they don't like Viewer but that is because they have no idea what it can do. After I have given training every company so far tell me they will be using Viewer for end users (viewers), with Plus being reserved only for the report writers.
As for saving to the file system from Plus, as you say this does not exist. Oracle do have this under consideration. I thought it was scheduled for the next release but I don't think it made it. We'll just have to wait and see. Like you, I would like to see it.
Sorry about this, please don't shoot the messenger :-)

Customizing Oracle Discoverer Plus

Hi,
Our team is trying to figure out the best way to integrate our custom built Web app with the Oracle Discoverer Plus applet. The only thing that seems to be customisable in Discoverer is the banner image. I’ve read that Discoverer Viewer can be customized a bit more by hacking the IUX files. Unfortunately, our application must work with the applet (Discoverer Plus).
We looked into using the v$sql view to track down the query that Discoverer is using. This approach would be risky since there’s no guarantee that Discoverer's query will still be the shared pool when our application is called.
Since we’ve been unable to integrate our application with Discoverer (i.e., add a new button to the Discoverer applet), we’re using the Discoverer html and xml export. By parsing these two files, we can mirror data as well as the query used to generate the data in our application.
I was wondering if we had overlooked anything (e.g., undocumented api).
Thanks for your help
Danny

Are the users truly creating new workbooks each time, or are they just doing different selection values? I use the Parameters feature of Discoverer to let users do their data selection, which handles much of their ad hoc analysis needs. But if the users are truly coming up with new workbooks every time, then yep, they are going to want to use Discoverer Plus. Maybe you need to look at moving beyond Discoverer to OBIEE, or some other data warehouse/business intelligence solution, as a better long term solution for your users? Just something to think about.

User not able to login to Discoverer Plus 10g with Java 1.8 and Java1.6

Hi,
The user is using Windows machine and trying to login to Discoverer Plus 10g. He recently upgraded to Java 1.8 and was not able to login.
We informed the user that Discoverer 10g is not compatible with java version above 1.6. The user removed the java 1.8 and installed 1.6 again.
Still he is facing issue.
The error he gets is:
Unable to connect to the Discoverer Server: null
Please contact your Oracle Application Server administrator
Please suggest.
1. Is there also a way to make it work with java 1,8 version as the user need to use it for the Oracle HRMS.?
Thanks

Strange Problems with Discoverer Plus 10g

Hello All -
I'm working an exercise to bring an application online which uses Discoverer Plus 10g as its client. This application is located in an area that I don't have access to, so the symptoms I'll describe have been reported to me by users.
1) When users log into Discoverer Plus and it launches, it does so with the iconic menu buttons (located below the pull-down menus) disabled and grayed-out. The users are forced to do all operations using the pull-down menus. This is a problem that is consistent across different PCs.
2) When users do File....Save As.... the "Save Workbook to Database" window opens and the user is unable to modify the filename in the "New name" text field. If the user toggles the "View:" setting at the top of the window, they can then change the filename. This problem has only been reported by 2 users, but it's happening for them consistently.
3) When a user creates a new report using File....New... the Workbook Wizard opens and all is normal until the "Workbook Wizard - Step 2 of 5: Select Items" page appears. On the items tab, the user activates the pull-down list to select the business area they want to use, and the business area name disappears when the users mouses-over it. So the user must click on the blank business area name to continue. This is a problem that is consistent across different PCs.
A number of the users' PCs have two Java versions installed on them like this:
Platform     Product
1.4     1.5.0_14
1.5     1.4.2_16
I had them make sure that 1.5.0_14 is the only one enabled, but that did not remedy any of the above problems.
At this point I don't know what to try next.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Patrick

Try the 1.4.2_06 java version
I suggest you remove other java version and stay with just one.
I do not remember but from some point the java version will use the higher there is and java 1.5 from my experience
is not working with the discoverer so well.

Oracle Discoverer Plus - Don't run query automatically

I have, in the Options tab in Oracle Discoverer Plus, a check mark next to not run a query automatically. This is not working when I have several worksheets in my report. After I run one worksheet and click on the next (tab) worksheet it automatically runs that report with the old parameter values thereby providing ambiguous results.

Hi,
Try editing the parameter and selecting "Allow a different value in each sheet".

Thanks in advance

Hi Tamir,
Many thanks for the guidance. They have hundreds of reports so I have asked them to send me a few however, it feel awkward to ask for all. I have Discoverer9i and they are on Discoverer10g. Do you think this may be an issue ?

ESSO and Oracle Discoverer Plus

Hi,
I'm configuring eSSO-LM (ver. 10.1.4.0.3, comes with eSSO 10.1.405) to work with Oracle Discoverer Plus, but haven't got too far. ODP is a Web application that raises a new browser window, which in turn raises another window for login. The windows don't show the URLs they point to, I can't create a new browser window from them, and right clicking has no effect. Any hints?
Thanks,
Juan

Oracle Discoverer Plus Performance

When trying to connect to the Discoverer on the Web, we need to wait a very long time(about 5-10 minutes!)
for each web page to be displayed ( those are the simple trivial pages of userid, query list, parameter window for running a query, etc…).
When we eventually get to run the query it runs very fast, so the problem is not the performance of the database.
It seems like the access to the web pages on the server or something to do with the JAVA is not working properly.
We tried to address the link for the discoverer plus with the server name and also with its IP address but the result was the same.
We tried a higher version of Java and it was no good.
The station from which we are running it, is a very strong one so it is not a problem of shortage in memory etc..
Do you have any idea how to deal with this problem?

Hi Hadar,
In general, I would recommend making sure the JRE being used is compliant (see these Knowledge Base articles):
Recommended Client Java Plug-in (JVM/JRE) For Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2) [ID 465234.1],
Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) Plus Applet User Interaction Has Slow Performance With Sun Java Plug-in 1.6.0_03 or Higher [ID 747189.1],
Slow Performance Launching Discoverer Plus 10.1.2 With SUN JRE 1.6 [ID 579211.1]

Impossible to export more the 1000000 rows With ORACLE DISCOVERER plus

I work with Oracle discorcerer Plus but I'm able to exporte less than 1000000 rows.
more than 1000000 rows he does trunc the result!
I went to the Option as follows:
P.S un-ticked the Tools > Options > Query Governor > Limit retrived data to' field to get all the rows
but it still limits to 999999 records!
Is there any setting to control the number of rows exported ?
Your Help

Hi
The maximum number of rows of data allowed in a query is controlled in three places:
1. In Plus, using Tools | Options | Query Governor
2. In the Admin tool, using Tools | Privileges | Query Governor
3. In the pref.txt file there is a setting called RowFetchLimit
As an end user you won't have teh ability to override what the administrator has set for you so please check to see whether any restrictions are in place that are outside your control.
Best wishes

Export workbooks in discoverer plus

hi
I am not able to export discoverer workbook as .dis from discoverer plus.
how to do this
Should I follow only command prompt?
From discoverer admin i am able to export a workbook as .eex ..But i wonder how to import this workbook.eex into discverer desktop ?
thanks
kp

Hi,
.dis format is specific to Discoverer Desktop . This saves the workbook on the windows pc where Discoverer Desktop is running. Discoverer Plus does not have the option to save workbook on local system.
.eex format is specific to Discoverer Admin and it contains metadata info including BAs,Workbook etc.
In order to import .eex files you have to use Discoverer Admin . It can not be imported using Discoverer Desktop.
Thanks,
Sutirtha
