Midtier setting for Discoverer

Hi,
I have midtier, infra and database installed on my laptop. I have been using the discoverer desktop for building the charts, etc.
I noticed - from the Start programs menu ->
Ora mid tier -> Discoverer ->
I see entries for -
edit preferences
apply preferences
register session
deregister session
What am I supposed to use these for ?
Could this be part of the reasons why I am unable to
connect through Discoverer Viewer ?
-Ananth

Dear Gajanan,
Create asset class in OAOA. Assign account determination & screen layout, number range.
You have a section down as Status of AUC. Select the second radio button of "Line item Settlement"

Timeouts for Discoverer Viewer and SSO

We've enabled SSO for Discoverer Viewer 9.0.4. We set the Viewer timeout in the web.xml file to 120 minutes. We set the SSO Global user Inactivity Timeout to 240 minutes. Viewer sessions don't timeout at 120 minutes. Does the GUIT timeout override the Viewer timeout?
--- Steve

Hi
As far as I know, the Viewer sessions don't time out using the Discoverer settings. These only affect Discoverer Plus. The SSO timeouts will apply though. Out of interest can you tell in which folder was the web.xml you modified?
By the way, 240 sounds an awful long time to allow an SSO connection to stay active.

Required Oracle FND tables for Discoverer Install (Oracle App user)

Hi does anyone know of set documentation or, via SQL Trace, which existing tables Discoverer looks for when setting up an EUL? For instance, our install requires you select the Oracle Apps User Schema and put in the password for that schema where your FND tables reside.
Assuming some are missing in our current setup, what would be required in order for Discoverer to work in conjunction with the Oracle applications roles and responsibilities, etc.
I found this list in Discoverer documentation and confirmed I know have that setup correctly with proper grants, etc.. The EUL is created but does return an error of "Table or View does not Exist" which can be passed over and you can proceed into the EUL - but there is an error upon logging into EUL.
grant select on FND_USER to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_APPLICATION to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_USER_RESPONSIBILITY to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_ORACLE_USERID to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_DATA_GROUP_UNITS to &EULOWNER
This is Discoverer 10g and Oracle 10g database.
Thanks,
Mike

Rod,
I have confirmed that the Discoverer Administrator Responsibility has Administration, Desktop & Plus privelages.
Furthermore, the account I am trying to login as - DSCADMIN has those permissions and is assigned that responsibility as well.
It should be noted that when logging into the EUL as the DSCADMIN account, it prompts me to create a new EUL as one does not exist....however under the EUL ADMIN account (where the EUL was created), it recognizes the EUL since it is the owner.
Am I missing something further - I've been through the documentation several times and can't figure this out - I have continually made progress but then hit a speed bump each time.
It should also be noted that DSCADMIN is a database user schema account and also an Apps user as well - but this is how it was setup in our old enviornment so I wouldn't think this would make a difference.

What is the exact version of JRE required for Discoverer 10.1.2.2?

Hello,
I understand that through Application Server Control it is possible to set whether Discoverer Plus should use "Oracle JInitiator" or "Sun Java Plug-in 1.4".
The problem I have is that, due to immoveable restrictions in place on the workstations where Discoverer Plus the will be used, it is not possible for the browser to automatically download and install either the Sun Java Plug-In 1.4 or JInitiator to the end-user's workstation the first time the user tries to access Discoverer Plus.
In this environment, the only way to get either JInitiator or Sun Java Plug-in 1.4 (which I assume just means the Sun JRE) onto the users' workstations is for an administrator to manually install it. So my questions are:
1) What is the exact version of JInitiator required to run Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.2?
2) What is the exact version of Sun JRE required to run Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.2?
3) If the workstations already have another more recent version of Sun JRE installed, is there any way to get Discoverer Plus to use that version?
Thanks for your help,
Andy

Security issues for Discoverer 10g apps 12i

gurus,
I have couple of things to get it done at client.
We are on Oracle Apps rel 12i with dicoverer 10g.
Did anyone setup MOAC to be enabled and operational in business areas?
Setting up secure responsibilities in discoverer for MOAC?
Any setup needs to be done for custom report security in discoverer ?
thx

Hi,
I did setup new MOAC security profiles and assigned multiple organizations to that profile for testing purpose.
After this, I did run concurrent program "Security List Maintennce" etc...
Tested Upding profile at user level or responsibility level.
On APPS side fine.
I need the some basic steps on setup of security issues for discoverer side.
1) Business areas (any security steps need to be followed in order to access data for single or multi-org)
2) Custom Reports ( any security setup or any moac security profile setting against responsibilty for accessing single or multi-org data)
Since we dont have default operating unit parameter as specified in the concurrent program, how do you restrict data?
3) Reconciling security approach r12 with discoverer (any steps need to be followed here after r12 configuration with security issues)
4) Custom Views ( any steps to be followed for single or multi-org data as security aspect)
Looking for info on these setups.
Thx

Directory selection for Discoverer applet on HTTP Server

Hi
I installed Discoverer 3i on NT SP4
My http server is OAS 4.0.8.1
I tried single machine install and while providing the directory for Discoverer applet on HTTP Server i gave a directory which is not root directory for OAS
How do i set virtual path so that discoverer may be configured in my http server (OAS)
What are the steps?
Thanks
null

Go to the Directories section in OAS. You will already have virtual directories set for OAS. Use one of these as an example.

Query retrieval limit for discoverer reports in oracle applications

Hi,
I would like to set the query retrieval limit for discoverer reports in oracle applications. Can i have the steps for the same?
Cheers
Maytas

Hi Maytas
As Michael said the query retrieval limit can be defined by Discoverer Administrator
like :
- Discoverer Administrator >> Tools >> Privilege >> Select the user that will see the workbook >> Query Governor tab and there you setup the query retrieval limit.
Note:
Normally if you defined the limit for the user via Discoverer Administrator it should work but i saw that this was not happened in my case when i open Viewer so i entered with my eul owner on Discoverer Plus and defined the limit for all the workbooks
Tools >> Options >> Query Governor >> Limit Query retrieved data to

Error occurred while talking to OPMN Could not find entity for Discoverer

I have installed Oracle AS 10g with discoverer on windows 2000 Advance Server. Discoverer component status is displayed 'Unavailable' in Enterprise manager. Above mentioned error is displayed when i am restarting it. I have checked OPMN configuration file. It has component entry for discoverer.
Pl help to resolve the issue.
Sambhaji

Hi Sambhaji
A couple of things come to mind.
Firstly, did you have a fully qualified domain name set in your HOSTS file before you started the installation?
Secondly, are you certain that 2000 Advance Server is a supported platform? You'd need to look on MetaLink for that. As far as I know you must have SP3 installed, I'm just not sure about Advance Server. A service request to Oracle support would clear this one up.

Private vs Public Connection for discoverer portlet

Hi,
I am having different workbooks and some of them are secured(Only some can see them). We have SSO enabled.
I want to publish list of worksheets in portal using List of worksheets portlet. When I use the public connection every user is able to see all the worksheets including the secured.
How to limit some of the user not having access to secured reports.
I searched every where but no information. I know there is way for this.
Please help me doing this.
We are in middle of the live.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I use the capi , connection api, script to manual create private connections for users. It comes with a patch for discoverer. Hope this helps: Re: Automatically/Programmatically setting private connection in portlets

Default Excel for Discoverer Desktop

I have searched through the forum but never really found an answer for changing the defalut excel for Discoverer Desktop. We are using 10.2.2.45.45c. When exporting to excel it defaults to Mircrosolft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook. We need it to default to Excel 2003 or later this year to Mircosoft Excel 2013.
Is there a registry setting somewhere I can add ?
We have a several excel files that are produced by command line and this is starting to cause us some grief.

The administrator is a client-tool, installed from the bi-tools cd. The default url for viewer/plus looks like http://<server>:<port, default 7778>/discoverer/plus or /viewer. When you don't run in applications mode (for Oracle eBS) then you can use db-accounts to logon to Discoverer, in the Administrator logon with the EUL-owner, go to manage->privileges and give certain db-accounts the privilige to query/create workbooks and manage access to one or more business areas.

Using a Variable in SSIS - Error - "Command text was not set for the command object.".

Hi All,
I am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select SQL Query from the master table I have created variables v_Archivequery
String packageLevel (to store the query).
<Variable Name="V_Archivequery" DataType="String">
     SELECT a.*, b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum
     FROM dbo.ImportBBxFbcci a LEFT OUTER JOIN Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxFbcci b
     ON (SUBSTRING(a.Col001,1,4) + SUBSTRING(a.Col002,1,10)) = b.BBxKey
     Where (b.LatestVersion = 1 OR b.LatestVersion IS NULL)
    </Variable>
I am assigning this query to the v_Archivequery variable, "SELECT a.*, b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum
FROM dbo.ImportBBxFbcci a LEFT OUTER JOIN Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxFbcci b
ON (SUBSTRING(a.Col001,1,4) + SUBSTRING(a.Col002,1,10)) = b.BBxKey
Where (b.LatestVersion = 1 OR b.LatestVersion IS NULL)"
Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, v_Archivequery .
But when I am generating the package and when running I am getting bewlo errror
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object.".
Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?
Please let me know where am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Thankx & regards, Vipin jha MCP

What happens if you hit Preview button in OLE DB Source Editor? Also you can use the same query by selecting SQL Command option and test.
Could you try set the Delay Validation = True at Package and re-run ?
If set the query in variable expression (not in value), then Set Evaluate As Expression = True.

Where did all the setting for printing go in PSE8-Mac?!

OK, I'm probably missing some obvious settings somewhere, please tell me after you read my rantings...
I'm using the 'Full Edit' mode, assuming that is important. But the new Print Dialog looks like it has been dumbed down for some one, not sure who, however has it has me completely confused. There are now only three 'steps' for printing. One and two are self explanatory. However...
Step three concerns paper size, image size and several other details. Just for testing, I created a new 4 x 6 inch, 300dpi page and drew some lines. Command-P. Proper printer is selected, select "Letter" as the paper size. 4 x 6 inch appears selected as the "Print size" (I thought that was because of the original page size, but it appears to simply be the default). That is a detail that could easily be over looked by a new user. If the original image is larger than 4 x 6, it will, obviously be either cropped or reduced to fit those dimensions! It seems to me that the "Select Print Size" should automatically assume to be the image size. OTOH, I can see that some people may want to do all their printing on one size of paper. In that case, why not have a preference for the default and let the user change it when they change paper sizes (if they want)?
Now, if the user happens to notice that a new 8 x 10 inch image is going to be printed in a 4 x 6 area, she will now decide to check the other settings available in the pop up menu. OK, there IS an 8 x 10 inch choice. But look, what's this "Custom" choice? Let's investigate...Now this is strange! The defaults there seem to be 1.383 inches for height AND width! Who came up with that weird number?!
Oh, there is a "Scale to Fit Media" check box. Checking that now makes the height and width somewhat closer to reality, they now indicate the pape dimensions. That IS logical, but not extremely helpful, IMHO. By the way, the second time one selects the "Custom" choice, the correct, original image size appeared in the Print size boxes. Although I cannot seem to get those to reappear. Oh well...
My point is, how do these confusing configurations help? Beyond me, anyway.
BTW, the dpi settings all seem to be 'computed' at one less than the number set by the user for an image. For example, a new image page created at 300 dpi shows 299 in the Custom dialog, 150 shows 149, etc. Close, but why not exact? Furthermore, why can't the user select any dpi they choose? Isn't that what the computer if for; calculate what happens to the pixels when they print at a different setting than the image? Sure, the user should be warned that terrible images my result, but if that's what the user wants, let it be done! Who's running this show, anyway? Oh yeah, I remember, now...excuse me for asking, I'm only a paying customer, what do I know?!
Lastly, if one has more than one image open, every single one can easily be printed, accidentally. Why? Because they will all appear in the Print Dialog. Don't you see them? Over there on the left. Yeah, I see them, but why doesn't the image I have in front, the one I'm working on, be the one I probably want to print? Many of the others may simply be images I'm borrowing parts from. Why do the developers think I always want to print every image that might be open? I don't have any idea, either. Sure, there are a couple of ways to prevent this multiple image printing; select the one you don't want to print and use the "minus" button or simply close all those images before going to the Print dialog. Guess what. Using the 'minus' button only works for this printing, the next time you ask to print they will all be there, again. And, what if you aren't really finished using some of those extra images that you closed? Now you get to re-open them all again. Completely unnecessary steps because of poor user considerations/research, in my humble opinion. Again, this is exactly the thing that preferences are made for. Or, put them in the "Edit Guided" mode! Or, better yet, just give me back the old Print dialog! Nice!
Now, I am extremely glad to see that PSE can now remember to keep that stupid Panel bin out of the way! Finally! Three more inches of screen to work with!!! Hooray!! Unfortunately, it still can't remember what the last setting for the jpeg quality was...still defaults to ZERO! Sure, that's the setting I always want to use, it's so much fun letting people try to guess what is in the image...one would think after 8 iterations this could be fixed. One down, umpteen to go. Oh well, what do you want for $80?

Thanks for your listening/reading and I'll take your advice about dropping a note to the developers, but I won't be holding by breath! I doubt that they consider this a real problem. It's really just my ranting!
Your solution is probably the 'fix' they might suggest, anyway. However, I'd rather have the screen space than a list of thumbnails of images I already have open. command-plus and/or minus is a pretty quick way of making it easy to see anything that might be visible. Of course, I'm sure there are other uses for the Project Bin that many find useful. Even though I have a 24" iMac, I rather like using the screen space the way I want, not an arbitrary way that got developed. I just don't see why developers can't program an app to allow every conceivable method of use by every living and future user! LOL!!!
I guess today was the first time I've printed anything since installing 8. I was, quite confused when presented with the new Print interface. Actually, I thought that must be part of the 'Guided' set up which I assume leads one by the hand as much as possible. "Thank you Adobe, but I'm trying to avoid unnecessary contact with strangers right now." LOL! At least I know I didn't miss some setting somewhere.
Thanks! Have a great weekend! And don't get scared too much tonight!

I can't save the setting for dowloads to go to the specified folder (such as the desktop). It restores to default when I close Forefox.

How to create a value sets for concurrent program?

Hi Friends,
I am creating a concurrent program with a parameter period...
In the value set for the parameter period, I am using the following query :
---where application_id = 101
and set_of_books_id = :$PROFILES$.gl_set_of_bks_id
and closing_status IN ( 'O', 'F', 'C')
order by period_year, period_num' ----
In my cursor, i have a condition 'where set_of_books_id = ' ---
How can I pass the above set of books id into the cursor ?? it is not working when I am defining another parameter as Book and passing that value to the cursor....
I need that period parameter to return all the periods for the set of books where we are running the concurrent request from...I also need to get the set of books id for my cursor...
Hope I am making sense...All that I am trying is to have period parameter and also a SOB id in cursor condition...

For SOB value set, I have passed the default value as vamsi suggested ($profiles$.gl_set_of_bks_id)....
For period value set, I have entered query as ..where application_id = 101

and closing_status IN ( 'O', 'F', 'C')
order by period_year, period_num...................
It still doesn't work....I don't know how to derive those Periods based on the SOBs and at the same time pass SOB id into the cursors...
