Oracle discoverer Administration - Business Areas

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install the Oracle discoverer Administration edition for a user, but only with query/view rights on Business Areas ?.
The user should not be able do make changes , but only to view certain BA : eg : folder links, custom folder queries, properties etc.
Or is there another way of getting the information regarding the setup for a certain Business Area ?

Hi,
It depends what version of Discoverer you are using. If you are using a later version (10g) then you can give the user administration privilege but no privilege to change the EUL (e.g. format business area). Then when the user connects to Disco Administrator they get read only access to the EUL.
If you are using a previous version then you will have to either write a report off the EUL tables that gives them all the information they need (The Oracle provided EUL Definition Business gives most of this information), or implement your own read only constraints using database triggers.
Hope that helps,

Creation of a Custom Folder in Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition

Hi
Could anybody help me in solving this problem while creating a Custom Folder in Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition ?
My Requirement is :
I Connect to EUL_US/EUL_US@<HOST_STRING> under Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition.
I selected a Pre-Defined Business Area Eg. General Ledger
There i created a Custom Folder by Name Test Custom Folder
The Query which i used in my Custom Folder is
SELECT NAME FROM GL.GL_JE_BATCHES
When i Used this Query it says Table or view does not exist.
The Folder is getting created but without a Query.
I am not able to preceed further.
Any Help would be appreciated
Regards
Nakul Venkataraman

Hi Nakul, you may be running into a problem with the sql for your custom folder. For some reason Discoverer Admin will allow you to create a custom folder with sql, but then if you change it and it has any advanced sql, i.e. grouping sets, analytic functions etc., you probably receive an error.
An option is to create a view using the same sql and create a folder from the database using this view.
Hope this helps.

Oracle discoverer Administrator and Desktop 'Invalid Username/Password

Dear all,
None of my users can login to Oracle discoverer Administrator and Desktop. It gives invalid username and password. What could be the problem?

Pl post details of OS, database and Discoverer versions. Is this EUL for an EBS database ? If so, are users checking the "apps user" check box on the login page ?

Refresh EUL in Oracle Discoverer Administrator using command line

Hi there! I wonder if there is a way of refreshing the EUL business folders of Discoverer Administrator using a command line, so that it could be done through a batch file process.
Many thanks in advance

What do you mean by refreshing the EUL business folders? The definitions of the EUL are updated whenever a workbook/worksheet/business area/hierarchy/ any other object inside the EUL is changed/added/deleted. Also, the contents of your EUL are updated whenever summaries are refreshed (either manually or on a schedule), or when scheduled workbooks run and their contents stored inside the EUL.

Oracle Discoverer Administrator 'OUT OF MEMORY'

Hi ,
I'm trying to include a case statement in the custom folder based on a query.when I include the case statement in the SQL query and click Validate SQL button i get error 'out of memory'.
can anyone plz help me with this.
thanks

Hi
The Out of Memory is not 100% related to the amount of memory you have on your machine. There is an internal cache that it is working with and this is controlled from within your system registry. These settings can be found in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\Oracle\Discoverer 10\Application and they are called MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem and these are typically set to the amount of memory on your PC or even higher where 512000000 equates to 500 MB. I have rarely seen making a change to these have any impact but you can always try.
As a test, try using the Admin command line interface to do what you want. I have seen exports, as mentioned by Russ, fail using the application but work just fine when called from the command line.
You seem to be saying when you run the query yet in your question you say running in Discoverer Administrator. You cannot run a query in Administrator so are you saying that you get this issue when running the query in Desktop or in Plus? For Desktop you can try altering the MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem, whereas for Plus these will have to be changed in the pref.txt for the application server.
You can also try increang

Discoverer refreshof business area

Hi I refreshed the Accounts Payables business area in the seeded EUL_US EUL. Now I am unable to see any of the invoice folders that use to exist in this EUL. Please advise how I can get all the old folders back.
I selected the AP business area then clicked on file and then refresh and then all the AP folders were gone.
Thanks.
Suhail

Hi,
how I can get all the old folders back.You can import the folder from another instance if you have.
There isn't a rollback for the discoverer administrator.
Also i suggest that before performing a refresh to a BA verify the the validation of folders by going to:
"View-> Validate -> folders" in the menu of the administrator

11.1.2 works fine on Windows 7 (64 bit).
11.1.1.2 does not support windows 7 (64 bit). 11.1.1.3.01 was released a fews weeks back that supports windows 7 (64 bit).Hi Toufic,
Yup, i mean hyperion 11.1.2..
Now, the smartview has been successfully installed in my system. First, i tried to uninstall the my smartview and delete all registry that point to my smartview. and then i tried to re-install the smartview version 11.1.2, and now, it's work.
Thanks Toufic..

Export workbooks not sharded with the oracle Discoverer Administrator

Can anyone tell me how to export workbooks which are not shared with the discoverer administrator.
When I use the command line dis4adm.exe /connect userid/password@db /export destination / workbook "workbookname' it toes only funtion for workbooks shared with the discoverer administrator.
Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Marc
The only mechanism to export Discoverer workbooks using the 4.1 Administrator tool is to use the command line.
However, there are severe restrictions on functionality. These are:
- Only the owner of a workbook can export a workbook. Discoverer administrators do not have the power to export end user workbooks, therefore user accounts need to be temporarily granted administration privileges during the process
- There is no mechanism to export “ALL” workbooks for a user account. They have to be named explicitly on the command line
- Workbooks must be exported on a user by user basis because there is no mechanism to export workbooks for multiple users at the same time
Drop me an email because I have a white paper that explains in detail how to export workbooks in 4.1 using the Administrator tool.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

What is Gateway User and password in Oracle Discoverer Administrator

hi.
i have install BI tools and want to connect to database. what is Gateway user ID / Password and Foundation Name and what username i give in it and how i can use discoverer desktop.

Hi,
While in the Tools -> Options -> Connections screen, you'll need to complete the following gateway info, this is usually:
gateway user id: APPLSYSPUB/PUB
foundation name: APPS
You'll also need to ensure you have the correct TNS connection setting defined in your TNS file.
Hope this helps you get started.
