Migrating Discoverer reports to Cognos

I want to migrate Discoverer 10g reports to Cognos. Please give me the steps to do this.

I've already searched a lot and not able to find any tool. You are right. But it could be very helpful if anybody could suggest some methods to achieve the goal. I'm trying to convert the .eex file into .xml format, is their any tool or way to do the same. Like i want to export the metadata into xml format which i will try to import into Cognos.
Please help.

Discoverer Report - Multiple instance migration

Hi
We are using Discoverer 4i reports. We are using 5 Test instances. Say
DEV,DEV1,CRP1,CRP2,CRP3.
We are doing development in DEV instance and we want to migrate the same report to DEV1 instance. We needs to recreate the same report in DEV1 Instance. It is time taking and double efforts need.
We have tried below ways, but we have failed in some cases
1. Taking *.dis file and save in different database
2. Taking the export of BA and import in another instances.
Is there any software available in the market to migrate discoverer report between instances. ( Ex like Kintana for Ebusiness suite migration).
It will be helpful for me, if you have any ideas/comments/suggestion to overthis instance report migration problem.
Thanks in advance.
Navas

Hey Navas.
This seems to be something many companies wrestle with. A recent client I was at had a similar situation but absolutely, didn't want any exports / imports of the BA and all had to be manually coded in each.
Reason for this was that you had to write up detailed explanations on what you did so it could be manually copied into PROD by the DBAs and therefore, no export / import (with the exception of you didn't recreate the file system saved report obviously).
Also, I can attest (and have commented on this before), Disco 4 has seemed 'challenged' to me in the past and an export / import from one v4 EUL to another v4 EUL sometimes doesn't work exactly the same (ie: a file system saved workbook in one EUL doesn't work in a newly exported / imported BA in the other EUL. With different EULs it appears that when people make changes to each, and delete their changes, it can cause problems (ie: ids being renamed to _1, etc.) which just makes life difficult.
This is why for non-PROD instances, more times than not you just refresh the entire EUL to either your PROD instance (and apply changes you're working on again) or harmonize all test instances.

Discoverer reports failing after import from another instance

I've migrated Discoverer reports using export/import option.After opening reports in new instance,I'm getting the following error for some reports :
Can not join tables used in the work book Item dependency not found in the EUL,Attempt to open workbook failed?
I checked disco administrator for these reports and all these reports are based on custom folders.These custom folders are based on query and they are not joined with any other folders.
Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi Kiran
Try re-importing and matching on Names and see if that helps.
Having End User Layer metadata out of sync and maintained in more than one place is a recipe for disaster. The best way to develop Discoverer metadata is to have a three-stage environment using Development, Test and Production.
You should never add new Production metadata without migrating from Test which in turn is migrated from Development. Adding new metadata in Production will cause the unique IDs to be updated. The next time you migrate from Test, checking the box to match on identifiers will cause problems. Of course if you also take the time to make sure than even identifiers are unique then you will not have any issues.

How to migrate the discoverer reports using the PPM tool

Hi,
Did Any One Migrate the Discoverer Reports Using The PPM (Kintana Tool) From One Oracle Instance To The Other?
Please Help Me If Any One Knows?
Thanks,
Ankit

Hi User,
Create a new shared folder.
Provide access to all the users.
Now, ask the user who created the report in 'My Folders' to save the report in this new shared folder.
And, Delete those reports in 'My Folders'.
Now, as the report is saved in New shared folder you can access - this one.
Else--- Ask the user who created the report in my folder to make sure that it is available to all users. (Permissions - Permission should need to be provided for Administrator group)
Thank you.

Database migrated from Oracle 10g to 11g Discoverer report performance issu

Hi All,
We are now getting issue in Discoverer Report performance as the report is keep on running when database got upgrade from 10g to 11g.
In database 10g the report is working fine but the same report is not working fine in 11g.
The query i have changed as I have passed the date format TO_CHAR("DD-MON-YYYY" and removed the NVL & TRUNC function from the existing query.
The report is now working fine in Database 11g backhand but when I am using the same query in Discoverer it is not working and report is keep on running.
Please advise.
Regards,

Pl post exact OS, database and Discoverer versions. After the upgrade, have statistics been updated ? Have you traced the Discoverer query to determine where the performance issue is ?

Discoverer report not working on R12 !

We have just migrated to R12 from 11i and some of the discoverer query is not working, but the same is working fine when we ran thru SQL Developer or TOAD.
Is there any context (mo_global.set_policy_context) needs to be set in Discoverer report to get the data?
Thanks

Thanks Srini,
There is no any specific error message, the strange thing is if I run the Discoverer report is not returning any data, but if I set the mo_global.set_policy_context ('S',111) in SQL Developer or TOAD and then run the discoverer report it return data...
Any pointers?

Discoverer report with PO_RELEASES in R12

Hi all,
I'm migrating a Discoverer report from 11i to R12. The query of the folder uses the po_releases and this join condition "and rcv_transactions.po_release_id = po_releases.po_release_id(+)". When I run the report I get the error "invalid number" but when I tried the same query but using the po_releases_all it seems to work. Is this ok? I saw that in R12 po_releases is just a synonym, is this correct? I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks in advance.
Gabriela

Thanks Hussein. Yes, I've checked the document you recomend, but the problem seems to be when I try to use po_releases, the synomy) and I don't know why it work with the _all table but not work with the synonym.

Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
Regards,
Brajesh

Pretty hard to answer a question like this. Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out.

Discoverer Report Ownership and Exports

We are currently upgrading to R12 from 11.5.10 and I’m looking to migrate discoverer with it. The environment and set up of disco has been completed however there are a few issues around migrating the existing reports and EUL I’m not sure about. I would appreciate some views / advice on the following:
1) We have reports owned by a lot of people across the organisation, many of these I cant see as the discoverer admin user (but can from the DB tables), meaning I cant migrate them as .eex without getting the owner to share the reports out to out disco admin user.
2) For the ones I can see if I import them I get a message in the log that I cant modify a report I don’t own, whilst taking ownership by saving the report is an option, the report must then be visible to the original owner in the new environment so requires sharing with them (but done for 700+ reports)
3) I need to migrate associated EUL objects with the reports however without going through each report manually I cant see which reports are dependant on which EUL object (I assume this is available in the DB somewhere but I’m new to this so I’m still looking)
The method of exporting as .eex files and importing into the new environment doesn’t appear to be cutting it for this task. I have read there are ways to export or clone the EUL and reports as a whole however we don’t want to take everything across only a selection of reports from the old environment.
There must be a better way of migrating the required reports and associated EUL objects and resolving ownership and sharing?
any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the replies – they are very helpful
I have been looking at the Java Command line interface and attempting to share out workbooks to my user on our DEV environment with some small success
I tried the following:
-connect EUL_US/EUL_US@DB –grant_privilage –workbook_access “WORK_BOOK_1” –roll “SOLHILL”
This gave me the following message:
“A Subdirectory or file . already exsits.”
“Command Complete”
But didn’t appear to actually do anything, the workbook remains unshared
I played with the command and used the following:
-connect DISCO_ADMIN_USER /pswrd@DB –apps_user –apps_responsibility “Discoverer_admin” –grant_privilage –
workbook_access “WORK_BOOK_1” –roll “SOLHILL”
This gave the following message
“A Subdirectory or file . already exsits.”
“afenv: can’t open registry key”
“afenv: can’t open registry key”
“afenv: can’t open registry key”
“afenv: can’t open registry key”
…….(17 times)
“Command Complete”
But did update the workbook and gave it the apps responsibility “Discover_admin” (not to the SOLHILL)
So -
1) In the Oracle Documentation it says the EUL_US (eul owner) needs some permissions granted such as “CREATE_TABLE” “CREATE_PROCEDURE” etc… is it possible that this is stopping the EUL_US login from updating the tables? if not any ideas why the command sucseeds but nothing happens?
2) what’s incorrect about the second command line script that it doesn’t do as I intend?
Thanks for your support

Oracle Discoverer report pulls incorrect result when scheduled.

Recently the database was migrated to 10.1.2 RAC from 9.2.0.6, so the discoverer EUL is now resides on new database.
after migration the report which pulls correct results when run interactively is pulling incorrect result when scheduled in Discoverer.

Hi sunil,
Rod is referencing the NLS parameters i.e.
Can you please let me know which NLS parameters you are referring toNLS parameters in this scenerio may be the date and language for that session.Do check out
SELECT * from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
how i can check if there any differences in the NLS parameters when report is scheduled or run interactivelyI think you should run the trace file.Iam not sure about it.
It would be system_context.
Hope it helps you.
Kranthi.

Discoverer Reports and OBIEE

Hi,
Our Company has some Discoverer Reports and we would like to convert those reports into OBIEE. Has Oracle provided any migration or conversion utilities for this excercise? Please let us know.
Thanks and Regards,
-G

Hello
It depends how simple your workbooks are. The more complex they are the more difficult they are to migrate and some Discoverer features will be lost during the translations. Some Discoverer features will not migrate at all.
At this moment in time, with the current state of DOMA, I am coming down on the side of starting from scratch with OBIEE. There are, in my opinion, just too many of Discoverer's nice features that will not migrate. Starting from scratch will allow you to take advantage of all that OBIEE has to offer. Migrating could limit you to what Discoverer had to offer.
You could try a migration and see how much work there is still left to do. However, before you can do that you will need to upgrade Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 at the minimum. If you have already upgraded Discoverer to 10.1.2.1 or 11g you should be able to migrate the metadata. The only supported OBIEE version at this time is 10.1.3.4.1. After you have migrated to 10.1.3.4.1 you can then upgrade it to 11g.
Best wishes

About the note on metalink. It seems that it is under review.
Here is the basics of the note:
1. Determine the owner of the workbook. Say UserA.
2. Open an sqlplus session to the database.
3. Run the following sql:
SQL> set heading off
SQL> set feedback off
SQL> set echo off
4. Now spool the result of the following sql to a file.
SQL> spool c:\exp.bat
5. Run the sql statement
NOTE: CHANGE DISCOE_HOME
SQL>select '<Disco_Home>\discvr4\dis4adm /connect
EUL_owner_name/passwd@connect_string /export c:\'||rownum||'.eex /workbook "'||

Open Pages from Discoverer Report

Hi,
Is there a way to invoke a webpage or even better, an oracle function (that links to forms or self-service) from a discoverer report row ?
for example, I want a report for employees where the person looking at the report will click on the employee name and is taken straight to the person details page for that employee.
Regards.

Hi,
You can create a link to a form function using fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url. You can create a calculation either in a view or using a calculated item in the EUL (you will have to map the get_run_function_url in the EUL to do this). You then set the content type property of the EUL item to FILE so that when the item is selected in the workbook it appears as a hyperlink.
Most forms in apps except parameters so that you can pass the employee id to the form and the form will open up with the employee record. For example, if you are using a seed HR person form you create a calculation,
fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url(3494      -- PERWSHRG-404
                                     ,800       -- HR
                                     ,fnd_global.RESP_ID     -- caller's responsibility
                                     ,0        -- Business Group
                                     ,         -- Parameters
     'P_PERSON_ID='||TO_CHAR(person_id, 'fm9999999999999')||
     ' P_EFFECTIVE_DATE='||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD'))Rod West
