New Discoverer 11g Book

Hi everyone
Apologies if I have not been around the forum as much as usual but I have been busy rewriting the Oracle Discoverer Handbook to bring it up to date with 11g.
The book is almost complete and should hit the bookshelves later this year. We were hoping we might make open world but that looks unlikely.
Best wishes
Michael

Hi Michael,
I do not get a chance to check-out the Disco Forum daily, but I did think it was strange that I did not see you active for some time.
I am glad you are nearing the completion of the 11g book. Congratulations on nearly being done.

Mixed results from HR EBS Security Profile in new Discoverer 11g EUL

Hello,
We’ve recently implement a new Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.4.0) APPS MODE EUL against out R12.1.3 EBS application.
In HR EBS we have Security Profiles that limit data access against some responsibilities( No Sr. Exec or HR personnel).
We are seeing mixed results in Discoverer when accessing Shared Workbooks using these responsibilities.
Let’s say I’m viewing workbooks that return Current Employee Salary details. For some the data is filtered as expected. For others, all rows are being returned!
Any ideas on why we’re seeing this behavior and what the resolution might be?
Thank you ahead of time for you help.
Rich

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the reply!
I think I understand what you are saying but let me provide some more detail and we'll see if this still applies.
Yes. We are using custom responsibilities designed against the HR application.
The user is accessing workbooks through Discoverer Viewer. They are not logged into EBS application. They are logging directly into Discoverer View and are selecting the Limited Inquiry responsibility (As far as I know there is know way to switch resp once logged in so the security profile should be applied).
In this session, the user opens one workbook and the security options are applied, with limited data being returned. Great.
Close that workbook and open another. This time the security options are not applied, with all rows data being returned.
Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Rich

Thanks in advance
Sulakshana

I know this is an old post but I was looking for this info myself and it took a bit of hunting. This is from a documented dated Jan 2011, so I hope it covers up to 11.1.1.4.
From this document:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/b40107.pdf
1.2 What are the new features in Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)?
This section lists the key configuration changes in Oracle BI Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).
* Certification with Oracle 11g (version 11.1) Enterprise Edition Database
General updates were made for Discoverer certification with the Oracle 11g (version 11.1) Enterprise Edition database.
* Oracle Infrastructure uptake
General updates were made to reference the latest supported version of the Java Runtime Environment.
* Single Sign-On integration
Enhancements to Single Sign-On include a new setting propagateGUIDToVPD, which is described in Section A.2, "Configuration settings in configuration.xml." Also, general references to the SSO user were replaced with GUID.
* Enhanced Viewer navigation
Improvements to page navigation controls in Discoverer Viewer include a new setting pageNavigation, which is described in Section A.2, "Configuration settings in configuration.xml."
* Enterprise Manager integration
General updates were made throughout this guide to reflect improvements in the user interface due to changes to the underlying architecture.

Advanced configuration settings can be updated using the MBean browser in Oracle Fusion Middleware Control, instead of manually editing the configuration files. For more information, see Section 4.12, "Configuring Discoverer using the System MBean Browser."

How modify my connections page in Discoverer 11g

Hi Experts,
We had a customized connections page for ours Discoverer version 10. A genius updated to version 11g without more information about ours customizations. Now I need to re-build all my customizations (add a new link in connections page, add an image, etc..). How can I do this in Discoverer 11g?
Thanks,
Gianni Neves

Hello David,
Thanks for reply.
Actually I am just concern abt the OBIEE Dashboard page, the link that u have mentioned is for Application Server, where we can manage the multiple Application Portals.
and it also doesn't come with Middleware that we are installing for OBIEE.
so i did get some useful information but not related to my question.
is there any place in EM(Enterprise Manager) or Console(Admin Console) from where we can manage the Default Portal for OBIEE Users?
Thanking You..

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

Discoverer 11G on windows 7 XP mode virtual PC

We have installed Discoverer 11G on windows 7 64 bit using Microsoft MP Mode (32 bit) Virtual PC. Does anyone know where the tnsnames file should be placed in the registry? It isn't evident to us.
Thanks!
Nancy

Hi Nancy
Your TNSNAME goes in the same place it always did here: $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
It is also possible to create a master folder for TNSNAMES on the machine. Here's how:
1. Logon as Administrator.
2. Create a new folder and place copies of your TNSNAMES and your SQLNET.ORA or LDAP.ORA, depending which type of access you are using
3. From the Windows Start menu, launch Control Panel
4. Double click the SYSTEM icon
5. Select the Advanced tab.
6. Click on the Environment Variables button
7. Under System Variables click the New button
8. In Variable Name enter TNS_ADMIN.
9. In Variable Value enter the full path to the folder you created earlier.
For example: if the folder you created is called TNSADMIN under the root of the c: drive then you would enter c:\tnsadmin
8. Click the OK button to close the New System Variable dialog box
9. Continue closing the other windows
Best wishes
Michael

Can't find frmcmp_batch.sh in my new Classic 11g Installation

Hi All.
I've installed Classic(Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer) 11G Application Server 11.1.3 on a linux box.
The idea is to transfer source files (.FMB, .RDF) an have them compiled on the Linux box. These files were built on 10g. I just want to transfer those files and compile them on 11g.
To my surprise, frmcmp_bath.sh is missing on my ORACLE_HOME:
[oracle@union ~]$ cd Middleware/ClassicPFRD/bin
[oracle@union bin]$ pwd
/u01/oracle/Middleware/ClassicPFRD/bin
[oracle@union bin]$ ls f*
frmbld frmcmp frmcmp_batch frmctrl frmweb
[oracle@union bin]$
What's the problem here ...? I know i did not choose any Builders during the config phase....?
What to do ...?
Also, getting this error when trying to launch programs:
[oracle@union bin]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/oracle/Middleware/ClassicPFRD
[oracle@union bin]$ ./frmcmp
./frmcmp: error while loading shared libraries: libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[oracle@union bin]$
Help will be greatly appreciated ...!
Regards, Luis ....

Listen guyz i think you took me wrong i have resolved the problem and it will work for you as well, first you have to unhide the user/library folder in lion for that read this:
http://technocraz.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/updated-to-lion-must-be-missing-user- library-here-is-how-to-get-it-back/
after having the folder visible open you time machine in finder and copy the address book from User/Library/Application Support/AddressBook and paste the same in your User/Library/Application Support/AddressBook.
you will see all your contacts immediatly, worked for me and im sure it will work for everyone.

Establih a connection to Oracle Server through Discoverer 11g

Hi
I am new to Oracle Discoverer reporting, I have installed Oracle Discoverer 11g on my Windows 7 32bit mechine and when I open discoverer it is asking for connection details.
I would like to know more on this connection details :
--Do I need to install Oracle client on my mechine ?
--Or is there any settings to be modified (ora.ini file or etc...)
--Do I have to install any other components to establish a connection to my oracle server ?
Your help is highly appriciated.
Thanks,
Sastry

Hi,
Do I need to install Oracle client on my mechine ?No, all the client software is installed with the Discoverer Admin and User install
Or is there any settings to be modified (ora.ini file or etc...) You need to setup the tnsnames.ora file found in the <OH>/network directory within the Discoverer Admin/User Oracle home directory. The setup is the same for other Oracle clients e.g. SQLPlus.
Do I have to install any other components to establish a connection to my oracle server ?
No, not unless you are connecting to an e-Business Suite using an apps mode EUL.Rod West

I,m new to Mac book. Have used Pages and written 49 chapters of a novel. How can I get them into one doc. and have Pages number them?

I'm new to Mac book. Using Pages I have written 49 chapters of a novel. Can anyone tell me in simple terms how to put them into one document and have Pages number them? I am lost.

Hello, Lost! Yes you are a bit; try the Pages forum here; https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
While I do use Pages, I don't know the answer to that one, but I'm sure you'll soon get help in the right forum.

Illustrator CS4, new Pantone color books, color channel issue

Since I installed the new Pantone color books, I've been running in a major issue which will affect our whole production line.
If an Illustrator CS4 file contains a Photoshop CS4 image which is using an "old" Pantone color in a color channel, it cannot be opened and I get an error message "File is unreadable". If I replace the "old" Pantone colour with its new equivalent in the color channel in Photoshop, the file can be opened normally.
In our work environment, this means going through all our images to check which one is using a color channel. A painful and time wasting procedure. Furthermore, if one of our suppliers doesn't have the new color books, they won't be able to open any of the files, both Photoshop and Illustrator, so they have no way to revert back to the old Pantone.
Is there another way to fix this?
Thank you

More on the Pantone PLUS saga, hoping to get some input from the users of this forum. I find their silence deafening, to say the least. This is a serious issue, that will cost our agency hours and hours of work if it isn't addressed. And we've already wasted hours of troubleshooting and discussions on how we could resolve it.
We're actually testing a workaround: using both the old and the new libraries in Illustrator. After consulting our suppliers, we've learned that this is what they also do. For them, it's a one shot to get the file to print. For us, it means cheating with files that will get edited again in the future. And the Pantone installer removes the old Pantone books from the Adobe folders for a reason which is mentioned on the download page:
The reason that the PANTONE Color Libraries that had been built into Illustrator need to be removed and replaced with the PANTONE PLUS Color Libraries is that, in Illustrator, a PANTONE Color can only have one data point with which it is associated. In the short term, in order to benefit from the new colors and data associated in PLUS, the PANTONE Libraries that are installed with Adobe Illustrator are removed and replaced with the new PLUS Libraries.
http://www.pantone.com/pages/Pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20721&ca=1
I worry this may lead to another bunch of issue, knowing how easily AI files get corrupted. What I need to know is:
What is the exact meaning of the Pantone warning about the "one data point per color?
What are the long term implications of using both Pantone libraries in an Adobe file? Or in the Adobe app?

How to install Discoverer 11g on Web Logic Server with Forms and Reports 11g Rel2

Hello,
We finally started to migrate from Oracle iAs 10g Release 2 to Oracle Forms and Reports 11g Release 2 using Web Logic. I don't see an option to install Discoverer on the server.
My OS: windows 2008 R2
Installed Web Logic 10.3.6
Forms & Reports: 11.1.2.2.0_64 (64 Bit Forms)
How do I install Discoverer Plus in 11g? All I can find is Discoverer 11g Desktop/Administrator to run on User work Station. We were using discoverer Plus in 10g iAS.
Thanks
