Oracle Discoverer 11g

Hello All, I am attempting to create a drill link in Oracle Discoverer 11g. When I click 'tools' and Look for 'drill' it's grayed out. Could someone please assist me in enabling this feature to allow me to create database links.

Pl detail what your needs are.
Discoverer and EBS integration is based upon "APPS-mode" EUL which uses EBS application users, not the APPS database account.
You could use the APPS database account, but is is not recommended

Oracle Discoverer 11g Error to create a new public connection

Hi,
Since i have install a new Discoverer 11g, i got this error.
A connection error.
- error while creating the session, check for other errors.
- oracle.discoiv.connections.ConnectionStoreException: While trying to lookup 'jdbc.disco_pstore' didn't find subcontext 'jdbc'. Resolved ''
- While trying to lookup 'jdbc.disco_pstore' didn't find subcontext 'jdbc'. Resolved ''
- While trying to lookup 'jdbc.disco_pstore' didn't find subcontext 'jdbc'. Resolved ''
unable to retrieve connection list
- Cannot retrieve connection list. Check the Discoverer application log for more details.
The installation is an stand-alone without OID but i know why - jdbc looking to the metadata of the pstore.
The database schemas are created and populated by RCU by i cannot use the STAND ALONE mode.

Differences between Oracle Discoverer 10g and 11g (EBS & Desktop)

We are in the process of upgrading from Oracle Discoverer 10g testing to Oracle Discoverer 11g.
We have had several requests (from functional users) for documentation that might reflect the changes in this release level. Does anyone have relevant documentation that might help explain what has changed so that they can be better prepared.

We are in the process of going from 10 desktop to 11 plus. I do not like it as other end-users I have talked to don't either. In desktop, I could have multiple reports open at one time, move tabs from one report to another so I wouldn't have to rebuild the report again. Also, there are times I have 3 or more sessions of desktop running with multiple reports running in them. In plus, I am limited to one session and one report. That slows down productivity big time. In desktop, exporting crosstabs to excel is more user friendly than plus. For desktop, it will fill in the cells below with the data above it if it changes. In plus, it looks like a pivot table. I have read other posts on how to work around that, but not always functional. Using Dense_Rank() works sometimes depending on how the report is written. IT is researching another way but haven't heard back from the consultants. Or, I will have to modify all my excel files with formulas to do that for me. Also in desktop, I can select all and copy paste the results into excel and all data comes in. The row and column headers, page items and even the title section will paste into excel. Plus only gives you the data, no row or column headers. So I have to export it every time I need the data. I have formatted excel files that all I need to do is copy paste and data flows beautifully. As for organizing and saving reports, desktop is much better. I can save reports out on our network under different folders so I can find them faster by topic. Granted, if that directory is an open one, anyone can change/delete it. In plus, the only advantage of saving it on the database is I can sort and search for reports or users. If you make any changes in plus and then walk away from your desk, plus will shut down after a certain time period. If you didn't save it, you have to start over. Don't know if this is something IT can fix???
As we see it, plus is a step back in technology. I hope someone can change that opinion. Don't know if we are not getting the best support from whoever is working with us (Oracle or 3rd party) or we are missing something???? If so, please share.
Thanks.

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

Hello
You need to install the 11.1.1.2 base software and then apply patch 11.1.1.6.
The base software is available from Oracle e delivery by starting here: https://edelivery.oracle.com
You need to log in with your OTN login and password and accept the license terms.
Once logged in, on the search form enter Oracle Fusion Middleware in the Select a Product Pack box then select your platform below.
With both filled in click the Go button
On the next page scroll down till you find the entry called Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for 11.1.1.6.0 - click the link
On the next page scroll down till you find the downloads for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) - there will probably be several files to download
The patch is also available from e delivery on the same page as the 11.1.1.2 and is usually located one entry down below the other others. Unlike 11.1.1.2 which comes in multiple files the patch for 11.1.1.6 is nearly always a single large file between 1.5 and 2.0 GB in size
Note: when you install 11.1.1.2 you do a software only install. When you apply the patch you just install it using setup. When both are done you need to run the config.bat (or config.sh) file from within the Middleware bin folder.
Note 2: you must also have downloaded and installed weblogic 10.3.6 and created a repository for Discoverer using RCU 11.1.1.6
Your full list of software therefore is:
1. Java JDK
2. Equivalent JAVA client
3. RCU 11.1.1.6
4. Install Weblogic
5. Install Discoverer 11.1.1.2 software only
6. Install Discoverer 11.1.1.6 patch
7. Configure Discoverer using config.bat or config.sh
Hope this helps
Michael
PS. I will be covering installing the software in my upcoming Oracle Discoverer 11g Handbook which is scheduled for release early 2013

thanks and regards

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 2 of 4)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 3 of 4)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6. This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01
There are no patch sets for Release 2 as of yet.

Oracle Discoverer 4i (portal db - oracle 8i) connectivity issue with 11g database

Hi All
We have oracle discoverer 4i with portal db (oracle 8i).
We connect to the external databases using db links in the portal db and the reports will use the db link to retrieve the data from views in the external databases.
External databases we were connecting is oracle 10g version and now we have upgraded these databases to 11g version.
Now i have a created a new db link to this 11g database and i have created a new EUL in portal to connect to this 11g database.
But when i try to create a report using the discoverer from this new EUL after login to the discoverer we get a "cannot connect to database" error.
We have all the necesscary privilege to the user and the new database link works perfectly fine. (when we try to query directly using SQL plus from portal database using this db link the query works perfectly fine).
Im not sure if this is a compatibility issue in connecting from oracle disc 4i to a 11g database.
Can any one advise if this is the case and if there is any workaround for this?
Regards,
Raj

Are you saying you are having issues with a database link between 8i and 11g (pl post exact versions to 4 digits) ? If so, it should be expected as database links between these two versions are not supported. Is there a reason you cannot upgrade the portal database to at least 10gR2 ?

Oracle Discoverer 9i with 11g R2 Database

Hi everyone,
Currently our company is still using Oracle Discoverer 9i with Oracle 10g. It is working very fine without any problem. My question is, if we were to upgrade the Database from 10g to 11g R2, is it "technically" possible to continue using Oracle Discoverer 9i? We understands that Oracle Discoverer 9i is de-supported product but actually it is working fine with our current Database 10g.
If Oracle 11g R2 can be connected to Oracle Discoverer 9i, we would very much prefer to continue using Oracle Discoverer 9i even though it is de-supported.
Appreciate if someone can enlighten us.
Thanks and rgds,
Zack

Dear Srini,
Thank you very much for the advise. However, the problem here is my company will not upgrade to 11g if Discoverer 9i is not working. This is because they find so troublesome to re-create all the existing reports which is more than thousands of report...;-(.
Really appreciate the feedback from someone who has experience using oracle Discoverer 9i with 11gR2.
Thanks and rgds,
Zack

Migrating Oracle Discoverer Workbooks to OBIEE 11g

Hello,
Can you tell me how can we migrate Oracle Discoverer workbooks in to OBIEE 11g , I have heard that there is a tool which is released in last summer for this migration can anyone provide me details on this one.
Thanks a lot.

Hello
I'm afraid Oracle has had no success in converting Discoverer workbooks into OBIEE. It is still on the radar but as yet they have nothing.
For some of my clients this is a huge setback. I have a client who has more than 32,000 Discoverer workbooks and adding more at the rate of about 5,000 a year. Obviously a customer of this size is a potential customer for OBIEE. The only thing they can do right now is to rewrite all of the reports.
To do this would be a mammoth task and I did some mathematics for them. Let's say you can rewrite one report every 15 minutes, allowing for testing and parallel runs. Thus you could convert 4 in an hour or 32 in a full day. Diviiding 32 into 32,000 means they would need to allocate 1,000 man days to the task. Bearing in mind that on average a person works about 220 days in a year and you are looking at around 5 man years, not including potentially 1000s of new Discoverer workbooks that have been created in that time. Needless to say my client is not happy with Oracle and refuse to go down this path sticking with Discoverer.
I know for a fact this company is not alone and I personally implore Oracle to allocate resources to correctly converting Discoverer workbooks. I know part of the problem is that there are things that Discoverer takes in its stride which OBIEE either cannot do or has great difficulty with. Until OBIEE can do everything Discoverer can do I don't see how customers can convert.
Thoughts anyone?
Michael

Discoverer 11g need oracle database 11g?

Hi,
I have discoverer 11g. i try to open EUL of 10g discoverer. normally it will ask to upgrade the EUL. But it throws TNS error.
Can anybody tell, Does discoverer 11g version need oracle Database 11g or it will work on 10g Database?
Thanks,
chelladurai

In the past Discoverer tools/clients and EUL had to be of the same version, and I expect this to be the same for "11g".
You can probably have the Discoverer 11g EUL in a 10.x Database, but not Discoverer Admin/Plus 11g working with a previous EUL version (except, perhaps, for upgrading the schema objects to correct version of EUL).
Check the documentation!

Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer 11G

Good evening
I installed the following products
* Oracle Database(to the 1st computer)
* Repository Creation Utility
* WebLogic Server(to the 2nd computer)
* Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer 11G(to the 2nd computer) – during installation I chose forms and reports
Identity Management and SSO are not installed, why they are used for?
While connecting to the base with the help of Visard I open Oracle Forms Builder by and create a primitive form. Everything is good. All are shown. I press Run Form which is written as Oracle Forms in browser and suggests keeping a clear file. Particularly in applied file!
Print screen of my monitor yo can see: http://www.sql.ru/forum/actualthread.aspx?tid=678852
Thanks for attention.

Thanks for attention.the port which you have mentioned is it WLS_FORMS_PORT or any other.
Try running default Forms port WLS_FORMS_PORT that will be 9001
or check for the WLS_FORMS_PORT in the portlist.ini file.
Also are you getting any exception in the Java console.?
