Oracle Discoverer 4i patches

I am in a process of configuring 9iAS Enterprise installation and more specifically Discoverer. In the release notes it is mentioned to run patchset 1750555. iAS installs Discoverer version 4.1.37, the patch however is reversing it to 4.1.36.
Can Oracle Discoverer team shed some light on the concept of downgrading patches and proper post-downgrading steps.

Are you trying to connect to the same database from both Discoverer machines ? Are the OS versions on those two machines identical ? Pl post the exact error code/message ?

Can oracle discoverer 10 be installed on Windows 2003 server

Hi,
I have couple of queries related to Oracle Discoverer. Need help urgently.
1. Can Oracle Discoverer 4.1 version support Windows 2003 on which Citrix server version 4 or above is installed? If yes, please let me know the patch details to download the same.
2. Can Oracle 10g BI Tool, Oracle Discoverer Administrator and Desktop be installed on Windows 2003 Server Operating System on which Citrix server version 4 or above be installed?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh Gurram

Hi,
1. Discoverer 4.1 has been desupported but was only certified for Windows 200 and XP
2. Discoverer Desktop and Admin is support on Windows 2003:
2003 SP1+ 10g (10.1.2.0.2 )
One thing I have to mentioned is that Oracle does not support any Citrix client operations.
If ever you encounter a problem you will need to reproduce the problem
outside of the Citrix environment to prove that it is not the cause of the problem.

Discoverer 11g patching question

Discoverer 11g patching question
I need to apply patch 13643211 which asks us to
Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to WebTier home,
say "[MW_HOME]/Oracle_WT1" directory.
I am not able to figure out what is the web tier home. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
This is what we have by default
Middleware Home Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware
Oracle Home Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/as_1
Oracle Instance Location: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/asinst_1
Oracle Instance: asinst_1
Domain Option: Create Domain
Domain Name: ClassicDomain
Domain Home: /applmgr/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain
Thank you

I assumed that the webtier refers to the instance_home, but it looks like it is the oracle_home I should be patching (since the the patch is for OHS). Can somebody please clarify?

Oracle Discoverer on windows server 2008

I'm looking for oracle Discoverer download on windows server 2008(32 bit). I tried looking on ORACLE.COM but I'm not able to find one.
Can someone point me...

Hi
Here is the link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/devlic.html?url=/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html
However, you may be disappointed because according to this matrix: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/as_certification_r2_101202.html it does not look like Server 2008 is a supported platform. I would ask Oracle Support to be sure or perhaps someone from Oracle reading this will advise.
When you get there you need to read the license agreement and then check and click the I Accept button to indicate that you understand and are willing to abide by the agreement.
Assuming you get the all clear, when you get to the main downloads page if you want the full application server you want the first row, if you want just Discoverer Plus / Viewer you want the row entitled Business Intelligence. You then look across the row for your operating system and then download all of the files that begin with CD. In your case because you are looking for the Microsoft Server version you need the software from the first column headed Microsoft Windows. Incidentally, if you need Discoverer Administrator and / or Desktop then it is also in the Microsoft Windows column and it is called Tools CD.
After you have installed Plus / Viewer (they both install at the same time) you version will be 10.1.2.0.2. This is the base version. You then need to log into MetaLink and download the 10.1.2.3 patch followed by the latest cumulative patch. This page on my blog will help with patch numbers: http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2008/04/most-useful-patch-numbers.html

Installing Oracle Discoverer Reports 4.1 in Windows Vista

Hi Guys............Greetings...
Can we install Oracle Discoverer Reports 4.1 in Windows Vista?
If not any patch available to install the same in WInsows VISTA?
Thanks in advance.
Dave Suresh

Go to metalink
Click on the Certify tab
Click on the second link "View certification by Platform"
If it isn't there then it is not certified.
That is the answer to the question you asked.
My advice is still that you get a decent operating system: Certified or not.

Oracle Fusion Intelligence patch

Hi all,
I want to apply Family pack H for "Oracle fusion intelligence for E-business suite" to our 11.5.10.2 instance. In the metalink doc 406004.1 there is a remark that i am not clear on. it says
"Note: Although Oracle Fusion Intelligence for E-Business Suite Family Pack
H (7.4) is a superset of the previous Oracle E-Business Intelligence Family
Pack G (7.3) in content, DBI only customers do NOT need to apply Oracle
Fusion Intelligence for E-Business Suite Family Pack H (7.4). Family Pack H
(7.4) does not provide DBI customers with any additional functionality".
so what does Oracle mean by DBI only customers do not need to apply this family pack? and that is DBI only customers versus what? what other options do we have?
can you please shed some light on this and explain the difference between DBI and the other options so that i know if i need this patch?
thank you for your help
Ely

Hi Ely,
1) where can you implement DBI? is it from inside APPS?
--> DBI is a set of preconfigured materialized views on various Oracle Apps modules. So yes, DBI is in Oracle Apps.
2) is implementing Oracle BI EE different than DBI or it's DBI implementation plus some additional content that you call Oracle BI EE?
--> You can use Oracle BI EE in combination with DBI. Oracle BI EE is your reporting tool and DBI is your source.
3) is Oracle BI EE implemented from APPS?where?
--> You can use Oracle BI EE standalone or in combination with Oracle Apps. Oracle BI EE together with DBI is called Fusion Intelligence.
3) in case i have an oracle application server 10g with discoverer connected to my APPS instance where i have the seeded EUL implemented, does this fit in any of the scenarios (DBI or Oracle BI EE)? do i need this family pack for BI fusion?
--. You can use Oracle Discoverer as reporting tool on top of DBI. You do not need the family pack for BI fusion in this case.
Hope this helps,
Daan Bakboord

Where can I find Oracle Discoverer Plus Download?

<email address removed by moderator so that you won't get spammed for all Eternity>
can someone guide me please?
thanks
Fernand

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

Oracle discoverer 9i can not running at windows 2003 server

Hi, Please help me.
When I upgrade from windows 2000 advance server to windows 2003 server the oracle discoverer 9i can not be open. When I open it there is a error "Failed to open document"
How to make it run smoothly at windows 2003 server?
Thank You

Hi,
This is a bug in your version of Discoverer. There is a patch to make it work with windows 2003 or you can upgrade your Discoverer to a later version. The patch should be available from Oracle support. I don't know of anyway to make your version work with 2003.

How to install oracle discoverer 4.1.37 when multiple oracle homes exist

Dear gurus,
Can anybody put some light on this issue. I have 2 oracle homes in my machine. When i select any one of them to install oracle discoverer, it says oracle 6i for nt, oraHome92 is already used for ora 82 Beta. I tried to create a Newfolder for Discoverer installation, it also does not work. Please anybody can solve this.
Plus i need to have know the steps involved in installing Oracle Discoverer 4.1.68.06?
Help me please
arizudding

This is a known 'challenge' on the ol' 4.x and before version of Disco where Disco needs the default Oracle home and doesn't expect anybody else to be camping on it.
Since Michael's already got the instructions on his site, I won't go over them again - and I'm sure he's given good instructions.
As for the steps involved in installing Disco 4.1.68.06:
1. find the software (metalink, otn, etc).
2. realize it doesn't exist
3. get mad as you'll think Oracle screwed up
4. realize that there is NO version 4.1.68.06
5. be embarrassed!
OK, kidding, but the version you most likely are talking about is: 4.1.48.06. Also, there is one final, final, no more, we ain't coming out with another version, version. That's 4.1.48.08.
Assuming you already have a version such as: 4.1.36 or 4.1.47, etc. you can get old patches, upgrades, etc. by checking metalink. Note that in some cases (ie: maybe 4.1.48.08) you have to put in a TAR with Oracle (and go through the usual "we don't support that version anymore" discussion with them).

PS. By the way, I worked in SA for about 3 1/2 years many, many moons ago (multiple places like Jeddah, Riyadh, Taif, etc.). Where's Jabail?

Oracle Discoverer Desktop Report output showing unicode characters

Hi,
Oracle Discoverer Desktop 4i version Report output showing the below unicode characters.
kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
We ran the same query in sql at that time the data showing correctly.
Please let me know, is there any language settings/ NLS settings are need to set
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_BIToolsHome_1
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry
Best wishes

Oracle Discoverer - Export report as PDF

Using Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.1 with Adobe 7 installed. We do not see an option to export as a PDF file. It was my understanding this should be an option. Is there a way to add PDF as an export option?

Hi,
You cannot export to PDF from Discoverer Desktop, however, you can use Discoverer to print to the Adobe PDF Converter print device which will generate the Discoverer report in PDF format.

Creating a new workbook in Oracle Discoverer

I am not very familiar with Oracle Discoverer but have had to be involved in it recently. What i am trying to do is create a new business area. I logged on to the Oracle Discoverer administrator and followed these steps
- Create a new business area from online dictionary
- Selected the schema user
- Selected the tables/views i wanted to include in the business area
- Click finish
Now i have included the tables in the business area. When the user logs on to Oracle Discoverer he can see the 3 tables/views i selected. If they try to create a new workbook they can only include one of the tables in the workbook but not all 3 at the same time. If i include one table, the other two tables become 'disabled' and cannot be included in the workbook.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi ziggy
It sounds like you did not create any joins between the 3 folders. Those have to be in place in order for a user to be able to create reports from more than one folder.
If you are new to Discoverer administration I would suggest you get some training. Oracle offer great training at numerous locations around the country and there are numerous self-help locations that you can find if you plus Discoverer Training into any Google search box.
My company also has e-learning for Discoverer and you can find out more by visiting this website: http://ascbi.com
