Options to cleanup and delete Discoverer workbooks

Currently users have access to create Discoverer reports in Production and there are now 6,000 workbooks. We want to clean up these workbooks by deleting and retiring the ones that are not needed.
What are the recommended options to be able to perform this cleanup? We have a list of workbook names by user that can be retired and want to avoid having to manually select the workbooks for deletion. Is there a script that can be run?

Hi,
There are some scripts posted in this forum (e.g. Re: How to delete Discoverer reports from database? and Re: delete shared workbooks when owner no longer available which delete workbooks from the EUL. This is good way to go if this is a one off exercise.
However, a longer term and more flexible solution is to develop a workbook which allows users to delete workbooks from the EUL. You will need to implement a delete_workbook function and map the function into the EUL. The workbook can then allow the user to select a set of workbooks and then delete all these workbooks from the EUL. You can build security into the delete_workbook function so that for example, users can only delete workbooks that they own, administrators can delete other users workbooks, library workbooks cannot be deleted etc.

I was opening Thunderbird using the RUN feature on my computer, but I did a history cleanup and deleted how to get to my emails. What was command in RUN?

Using the Run feature to open Thunderbird - my husband and I have separate email accounts here...... but after doing a spyware/malware clean up - the Run command that was saved is gone and I don't know what it was to go find our emails........

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -ProfileManager
or
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -ProfileManager
Instead of using run all the time, do the following.
After you work out which run actually works.
Right click your desktop and select new and then shortcut.
In the location of the item, paste the run command that works. (Ctrl_V will paste. Selecting text and pressing Ctrl+C will copy. So even though there is no paste button or menu you can still paste.
Click next, Check the title information and Finish.
Now there will be an icon on the desktop to open Thunderbird and you can pick the profile from the list.

Error while migrating discoverer Workbook

Hi All,
I am migrating Business Area and Work book from one instance(QA) to another(Production) DB instance.
I have successfully did export of business area and import in production instance.
For workbook migration I have followed the below mentioned steps.
1) Open QA instance and open the required workbook.
2) Do "Save As" of the workbook to local machine as ".DIS".
3)Then Login to Prodcution Open the workbook from the local machine. But in that case it gives following error
" Cannot join tables.Item dependency "" not found in EUL. "
"Attempt to open workbook failed" Anyone can help me to solve this issue. Please.
Thanks

Hi Janet
Here are some more notes from my private collection of tips and tricks:
Discoverer workbooks are very picky when it comes to opening up against an end user layer. Basically, here is what happens:
All EUL objects have an ID number and a name. When Discoverer saves a workbook it saves both the ID number and the name of every essential object (business area, folders, items and joins) that is used within the workbook. The next time Discoverer opens the workbook it looks at the ID numbers of the objects and tries to find them in the EUL. If it cannot find an object by its ID number it tries to locate it using the object's name. If an object cannot be located either by its ID number or by its name you will get the dreaded Item Dependency error.
OK, having got that out of the way, if you delete a folder from within the EUL and re-create it you will lose the ID number of the folder and all of its associated objects (items and joins). The only way Discoverer will be able to open this workbook now is if everything within the folder is named EXACTLY the same way (including underscores and casing of the name), otherwise the workbook will not open. Discoverer will report the error message that you are seeing.
So what can you do? Well, you need to have some way of finding out what the old folder name(s), item names and join names were. Also, you need to make sure that all items that were not hidden are not hidden now. There is no need to worry about the names of hierarchies or lists of values. These are not stored within a workbook and are only hooked in at runtime.
Seems like you have to somehow painstakingly determine what all of the item and join names were in your old folder(s) and re-create them 100% the same way in the new folder(s). By the way, when the workbook gives you the error message does it also give you an opportunity to assign al alternative item to the item that it can no longer find a value for? This may work but, in my experience, usually doesn't!! It only works if the missing dependency is an item, it won't work if the error is being caused because you have got a join name wrong. Unfortunately, joins MUST have the same name exactly otherwise there is just no way to open the workbook.
Best wishes

Viewing and Deleting internet history on Router (

Hi,
This is my first post on this website.
I would like information on how to view and delete internet history on a router. I have a linksys router (Default SSID is AFAQ wireless) and I would like to view the internet history. Mainly what internet sites have been visited on my router. I am able to get onto the http://192.168.1.1/ webpage but can't see any options for viewing and deleting visited websites/pages.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Which router are you using?
In most Linksys routers, you must enable "logging" to get the router to record the web sites you visited. Even when you do this, generally only the IP address is recorded, not the name of the website.
Logging in Linksys routers is primarily designed for diagnostic purposes. If you leave logging turned on full time, it will slow down your router when the router memory becomes full. Therefore, in general, you should turn off logging.
Windows keeps a good record of the web sites you have visited. Look in "History" for this info.

How to delete a workbook in Discoverer 10g

Hello guys,
Does anyone know how to delete a workbook from Discoverer 10g? I created a report in Discoverer Plus as SYSADMIN and gave this to my user. My user only has access to Discoverer Viewer. He went and did a "Save As" on this report. Now when he loggs in to Viewer again, he sees two report. One created by SYSADMIN and the on he created. I want to delete the one he created. How do I go about doing this? Can I do it from Discoverer? If so, which one(Viewer or Plus)? Will I have to login as him to do this? Please advise.

Hi,
I'm sorry for the question but you said:
You just login as the user into viewer and delete the workbookWhere do you see the option to delete from the viewer ?
To delete/ manage workbooks you need to login to either Plus or Desktop versions.
And yes you need to log in using the owner user name

Options to remove Discoverer workbooks owned by inactive users

Hi all,
We have thousands of Discoverer workbooks owned by users who are no more in the organization. Could you please suggest the different options? Is it possible to hide or disable all these workbooks? Are there alternatives other than Deleting them?
Thanks,
Asmamaw

Hi,
Instead of deleting them you can take ownership over them and then decide what would you like to do with them.
The easiest way is to export them using the discoverer admin login with the EUL owner.
then you can login with the user you want it to be the new owner and while importing use the check box to define "take ownership".
Also since you are dealing with lots of workbooks i suggest you will reffer to the command line interface (the java one..) so that you can perform batch changes.
[Discoverer EUL Command Line for Java Reference|http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13919_03/ref.htm]
with the command line you can use the privileges switch to change the share or grants for the workbooks.

I am trying to re-download some songs I deleted by mistake. I go to purchases and it only shows me options for Apps and Books, no list for Music. How can I get the music list to show up or alternatively how can I re-download the songs?

I messed up and deleted a few songs by mistake. When I go to the "purchases" option it only lists apps and books that have been downloaded, but music is not an option to see what was downloaded previously. Anyone know how I can re-download the songs ?
Thanks for any help! I am using the most recent version of iTunes.

When is there going to be a select all/delete all option in email? I need to search for certain emails and delet them from my phone but not my email program (Outlook)

when will there be a select all/delete all option in Emails? I have a large number of emails that come to my phone which i dont want to delete from my outlook mail account (On my PC). However, i want to be able to search, select all and delete these emails from my phone? I do not use ICloud either as it causes issues with my calendars at work.
These features should be a standard as there are plenty of other users out there that are trying to do the same thing and as yet there has been no progress? The email on the iphone is one of the biggest downfalls of the phone, blackberry and android handle them much better, but i dont have an option with my phone at work. Please help??

No one here would have any idea when or if such a feature would be introduced until and unless Apple announces it.

Everytime I connect to iTunes the message ' iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone. would you like to restore the phone again now? With the options cancel, continue restore and delete back-up??

I upgraded to iOS 5 on my 3GS without any issues but now everytime I connect to iTunes the message ' iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone. would you like to restore the phone again now? with the options of cancel, continue restore and delete back-up. what happens if i click delete back up?

I'm not getting the message anymore!
What I did:
1.- Went to preferences in itunes/ Devices --> erased the corrupted backup (there were two backups)
2.- Upgraded to iOS 5.0.1
Done!
PS: Maybe upgrading solves the problem without erasing the corrupted backup

How do you delete a photo album off your phone that doesn't have the delete option available? and the photos section on iTunes has no photos synced?

so I have an iPhone 4s and a while back I put a photo album on my phone, but now I cannot delete it!! The delete option isn't there to do it on my device and I have tried unchecking the synced photos button on iTunes and that doesn't work, I just want them off my phone.

If unchecking and syncing in iTunes doesn’t work, you may have to use a third party tool like iPhone PC suite. With it, you can delete the photos and videos in Camera Roll, pictures in apps, pictures transferred from computer to iPhone and more. Use “Crtl + A” (for Windows) or “Command + A” (for Mac) to select all the pictures in an album and delete them, the album will disappear automatically.

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. Help!

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them. Help!

Good morning Old Toad.
I did as you suggested:
1) Booted from install CD.
2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
So there's no change in my status.
I'm trying to delete the files because:
A) They already take .5 Gb.
B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

My options and tools have changed. Unable to extract and delete pages in my PDF document.

My options and tools have changed. Unable to extract and delete pages in my PDF document. How can I get them back?

Well could it be another Adobe I had before? I bought software and in that under tools on the far right had all kinds of options. Also under view and window. Then I bought another adobe product to try and convert a PDF into a word doc and now under tools that is all it wants to do and my view and window options have changed. Not to mention the new software i bought isn't converting it just spins. So I am bummed that neither is working for me. It is more important for me to be able to extract pages then it is to convert. Which adobe product allows this? Maybe I can unistall and reinstall the Adobe software I spent 300 dollars on vs the 19.99 product.

When I try to delete a song off my iphone by swiping right to left it doesnt delete, I even tried plugging the usb into my pc and deleting off itunes and i dont find an option to delete it, how can I?

When I try to delete a song off my iphone by swiping right to left it doesnt delete, I even tried plugging the usb into my pc and deleting off itunes and i dont find an option to delete it, how can I?

Here's what I did:
1. I synced my phone to iTunes and under the music tab, I selected sync only checked playlists. I made sure I had none of my playlists selected.
2. After syncing I ejected the phone, and checked my music app. There now was no music at all on my phone.
3. Synced it again to iTunes and synced music how I typically do. When it was finished, I checked for the unwanted song, and it was gone.
Maybe this will work for you as well.

How do you show reply, forward, and delete options in received email on IPhone 4

How do you show reply, forward, and delete options in received email on Iphone 4

What IOS are you running on the phone?
When you open an email, at the bottom of the screen you should see a tool bar of icons. The curved back arrow will bring you to either forward or reply an email. The little trash can will let you delete an email.
Are you not seeing the tool bar?
