Problem in Open Workbook from Database dialogue

Hi,
at my customer we migrated to 'OracleBI Discoverer 10.1.2' and it works fine with one exception.
In the item 'View' of the 'Open Workbook from Database' dialogue there i am able to choose one of four values. If i move with the mouse over the wanted value, the value is cleared - but it is choosable. Is this a bug or how can i change that mystic behavior?
Regards,
Martin

Problem refreshing query when opening workbook in VBA

I have a report menu in a workbook not containing any queries - only the description, technical name and additional information about the reports.
I use Run ("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXreadWorkbook"), <TECHNICAL_NAME> to open the respective workbooks, which works fine.
However, if I try to refresh the query, BEx displays a message saying:
"Can only refresh this query agains a server of release 2.0 or higher: <QUERY DESTINATION RANGE>"
We're using BW 3.5!
After that, BEx is a complete mess:
- Open workbook dialog is from a previous version (without History, Favorites, Roles buttons)
- All workbooks are displayed, but if I try to open one, BEx claims that "The workbook does not exist in the document store". Then why display it, dear SAP programmers?
Now, if I disconnect and reconnect, the query can be refreshed as if I had opened the workbook directly instead of using VBA.
Our users like the idea of a report menu, so any help would be appreciated!

Changed the error handling as follows, dropped the SAPBEXinitConnection function, which is completely redundant:
Sub OpenWBTechName()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    Run ("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXreadWorkbook"), <TECHNAME>
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
    If Err.Number = 1004 Then ExtraInfo = "Start BEx Analyzer!"
    res = MsgBox("Sorry, could not open requested report!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ExtraInfo, vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Open SAP/BW workbook report: ERROR!")
End Sub

Discoverer Desktop (4)- Receiving error Attempt to Open Workbook Failed

Hi,
The reason for this error is multiple people are opening same workbook. This has never been a problem before as the user would receive message: "Open Workbook as Read Only..."
Now they only get the message: "Attempt to Open Workbook Failed."
We have tested here and have determined it is not a generell issue because we have the problem only on two workstations.
I check the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER for diffenerence between the workstations but without any success.
There is no file access problem
Any idea?
Thx
Arnd

Hi all,
We are having exactly the same problem. I've come to the point that there's a problem between Discoverer Desktop 4i and XP SP3.
The scenario we have is:
a) If an user with SP2 creates a workbook and saves it into the network shared folder,
a.1) It can be opened by users with SP2 as many times as the want. They just receive the "Open Workbook as Read Only" warning message.
a.2) Users with SP3 can open it only if the workbook is not open by any other user. After that all users receive the "Attempt to Open..." error message.
a.3) If a user with SP3 makes any change to the workbook and saves it, it doesn't matter which SP version you have, the file becomes "corrupt" and only one user can open it at the same time.
b) If an user with SP3 creates a workbook and saves it into the network shared folder it can only be opened by one user at the same time
I've also made tests and the same error occurs if the .dis file is located in a local directory (c:\My Documents for example). I can not open it twice in my computer in two different discoverer desktop instances, and I have SP3, while another user with SP2 can.
Any ideas? Our Discoverer Desktop version is 4.1.48.06.00

A critical program error has occured while opening workbook

Dear friends,
A critical error has occured while opening workbook. The issue is that the same workbook is opening in some one machine but not in others.The following Dialog box is poping out when tried to open workbook:
"A critical program error has occured.The Program will now terminate.Please refer to trace for further information."
However,i did the full updation of service pack3 of MS Excel 2003 on my machine and the same version as on that particular machine(on which workbook is opening). The problem is still there.Please provide some solution.
Thankx a lot in advance!!!
regards,
Sandeep Singla

The machine where the workbook is opening has a GUI :-
Release : "710 Final Release"
File Version : 7100.2.7.1038
Build : 967944
Patch Level : 7
and the machine where the critical program error is coming has a GUI :-
Release : "710 Final Release"
File Version : 7100.2.8.1039
Build : 983952
Patch Level : 8
The Excel 2003 are similar in both the machines as the service pack3 has been installed in the machine where workbook was not opening.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Now I have question:
what settings should I Do to see this role in my SAP role menu.

Open Workbook in Weblayout

Is it possible to add a excel query/ workbook in the weblayout? Thus the user can the the results of the query in his planning layout? And if it is possible, could you explain me how I can build this.
Thanks for your help and support!

Create/Open Workbook dialog performance

Hi,
We use Discoverer Plus (Application Server version v10.1.2.2) and we have around 20,000 workbooks. All these workbooks are shared amoung all the user, in other words all the discoverer users have access to all these 20,000 workbooks.
We are experiencing a slight delay (20-30 sec) while opening "Create/Open Workbook dialog" in discoverer plus. This dialog appears automatically when the discoverer plus is launched. We area also experiencing a slight delay (20-30 sec) when we try to open "Open workbook from database" dialog. This can be opened using File/Open or Click Browse button from "Create/Open Workbook dialog".
Please suggest any solution to improve the performance of this or any configuration in discoverer plus that supresses the "Create/Open Workbook dialog" that apprears automatically when discoverer plus is launched.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Regards
Sriram

Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for the details.
We are following this approach. We have three catagories of users and they are as follows:
Super -> All the discoverer plus permissions are assigned ( Create/modify/schedule and all the other Plus permissions).
ReadWrite -> Only Create/modify workbook (Scheduling not allowed)
View -> Only to run the workbooks created by the above two users.
We have created three database users for discoverer and assigned appropriate permission in Administrator and created public connections for these users.
Discoverer is accessed from our application (by clicking a menu item provided in our bespoke application). The application users are maintained within the application and we also have a security module which restricts the use access to application. In that security module we have three roles (as above) created for discoverer purpose and users will be given permission to one of the roles. When the user invokes discoverer from application, it decides which discoverer user to be used based on the discoverer role assigned and launches discoverer plus.
Please note each application belong to an organisation.
We follow naming convention when the workbooks are created, the organisation specific workbooks starts with the organisation name + workbook details. All the workbooks are shared to all the above users, so that it is accessible to all the categories of users. The basic idea is, user logs in to discoverer plus and click browse button in the Create/Open workbook dialog and search for their organisation workbook by typing in thier organisation name and then select the workbook to run.
The problem that we are facing here is the amount of time it takes (15-20 sec) to open "Create/Open workbook" dialog and "Open workbook from database" dialog window.
I have checked all the indexes are in place and added a composite index as well. It takes the same time. Is there any way we can supress Create/Open workbook dialog window when Discoverer Plus is launched?
Regards
Sriram

SQL query or view used internally by Discoverer Open Workbook from Database

Hi Experts,
I am involved in developing a web application wherein I have to display the 'All Workbooks' similiar functionality in the 'Open Workbook from Database' dialog box of Discoverer. Can anybody provide me with the background query or view that Discoverer uses to retrieve this data for workbook listing? Please let me know if my question is confusing and requires more details.
Thanks
Thomas

Hi,
If you just need the list of workbooks then you need to use the EUL_DOCUMENT table:
SELECT u.User_Name Owner_Name
*,Doc.Doc_Name Workbook_Name*
*,Doc.Doc_Updated_Date Last_Update_Date*
FROM Eul_Us.Eul5_Documents Doc
*,Eul_Us.Eul5_Eul_Users Own_Usr*
*,Fnd_User u*
WHERE Own_Usr.Eu_Id = Doc.Doc_Eu_Id AND
To_Char(u.User_Id(+)) = Substr(Own_Usr.Eu_Username
*,2*
*,10);*
If you want the exact same list then you need to do the above along with the sharing :
SELECT DISTINCT
case when instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#')=0 then disco_docs.doc_created_by
when instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#')>0 and instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#',2)=0 then (select fu.user_name from fnd_user fu where fu.user_id=substr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,2,5))
else NULL
end "Workbook Owner/Creator",
disco_docs.doc_name "Workbook Name",
disco_docs.Doc_Updated_Date "Last Update Date",
case when instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#')=0 then disco_users.eu_username
when instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#')>0 and instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#',2)=0 then (select fu.user_name from fnd_user fu where fu.user_id=substr(disco_users.eu_username,2,5))
else (select resp.responsibility_name from fnd_responsibility_tl resp where resp.responsibility_id=substr(disco_users.eu_username,2,5))
end as "Shared Name / Responsibility"
FROM
eul_us.eul5_documents disco_docs,
eul_us.eul5_access_privs disco_shares,
eul_us.eul5_eul_users disco_users
WHERE
disco_docs.doc_id = disco_shares.gd_doc_id (+)
and disco_users.eu_username(+) NOT IN ('EUL5', 'PUBLIC')
AND disco_users.eu_id(+) = disco_shares.ap_eu_id;
* Change the EUL_US to your discoverer schema...
Then you will need to compare the current user with the sharing list or creator
Good luck

ITunes will not open in Windows 7 for one User. All I get is the Licence Agreement pane and when I click YES nothing further happens. I have set up a second user and iTunes opens without problem in that User window.

Clearly something is blocking the main user(administrator) from opening the iTunes programme and I cannot find a solution.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.

Hi Gaurav,
For your issue, you need to make sure the site where your workbook is stored in is a Trusted Location in Excel Service Application:

Open NAT problems with Xbox One .

When I first got my 1900ac I used Media Priortization to get an open NAT for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare on my Xbox One ; prioritizing the Xbox . It worked fine for about 6 months until I changed cable/net provider to Nextech in Ks. This company uses the 1900ac to hook up it's system for all it's customers ( since I already had one they're using mine ). Unfortunately I'm unable to get an open NAT in this game anymore ; I've tried just about everything , NAT forwarding , triggering , Media Prioritization . Nextech support & Xbox Live support , useless . Tried Portforward . com , nothing . Forwarding port 53 cuts off net connection & doing the static ip change for Xbox didn't help . Almost everything I've looked at seems out of date & I'm at my wits end . It would seem by now Linksys should have solutions available , any ideas ?

Thank you chin_pamz13 for your response . I tried to check if my modem had a public or private ip address but I'm not sure how to do that ; I've read about double NAT's elsewhere . Regardless , I think I've finally found a solution that seems to be working so far . I went to the website " tech - recipes . com " & found an article , " Xbox One open NAT " by Aaron St. Clair . I tried his first suggestion about port triggering , with extra ports I had'nt seen before . That did not work for me so I followed his instructions for putting the Xbox in the DMZ & it's working ! I think my problems from before were the result of improperly setting up the static ip address for my router & Xbox . Previous instructions had me changing the ip in the console along with the router ; Aaron said not to do so in the Xbox , let the router do the work it's supposed to do & make sure the settings in the console are on automatic . In the router at the DMZ , I was'nt sure how to proceed , but at the bottom is a section labeled DHCP reservations list ; clicked on that , saw XboxOne , clicked on that & it filled out the MAC address above for me . Then I went to the Xbox network settings , advanced settings & clicked " automatic " at ip address , subnet & DNS . I checked mutiplayer connections & did the " hold bumper & trigger buttons " trick & finally got an open NAT ; fired up CoD Advanced Warfare & got the open NAT there also . I may have screwed up when I did the port triggering but since the DMZ fix seems to work I'm going to leave things alone . Hope this helps others with open NAT problems .
