Hi,
There is no direct way to generate PDF from Disco Desktop. However, you can install a PDF converter and use Disco Desktop to print to the PDF converter print device.

Oracle Discoverer Desktop truncate at least 10.000 rows

Hi All,
I want to export to excel file from Oracle Discoverer Desktop. If the file contains more than 10.000 rows, It truncates the output and only shows the first 10.000 rows.
How can I resolve this problem?. I changed that Limit in Oracle Discoverer Viewer, but I don't know where I can do this in Desktop.
Best Regards,
Mariano.-

In Desktop, go to the Tools menu, and select Options...
The second tab is for the Query Governor, and you can uncheck (or change) the "Limit Retrieved Data To:" item. This works in Desktop 10.1.2.48.18.

Showing Data in Oracle Discoverer Desktop

Dear ALL,
I am facing an issue in development of Relational reports in Oracle Discoverer Desktop.
Following are the details of my warehouse (Data Mart) database:
There are 2 Dimensions and 1 cube in the Data Mart. All the 2 dimensions and Cube are based on tables Currency, Accounts and Fact_Data respectively in our Data Mart.
Fact table contains 2 facts (CLOSING_BALANCE,MAX_BALANCE) and and the values are stored in USD currency.
The fact table contains 100,000 rows with all values/facts in USD currency.
Details of EUL(End User Layer):
I have derived all 2 dimensions and cube from OWB, which generates all the "Business Definitions" and "Business Areas".
Issue:
I need to show the end user a report (from discoverer) which shows all the values/facts in PKR currency.
What is the best way to get this report?
I have tried many methods, including "Creating a Materialized View (MV) on fact table which contains converted values in PKR and then making a view (Union of fact table and MV) which gives me 200,000 rows." But this solution has an issue that i can not join the View with other dimensions in Discoverer because View contains dimension keys (same as fact table) and dimension tables contain Surrogate Ids.
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
Best Regards

Hi,
You cannot schedule and email using Discoverer scheduling. You have to use a third party scheduler and Discoverer Desktop. This article (http://ascbi.com/downloads/Third%20Party%20Documents/Scheduling%20through%20Concurrent%20Manager.pdf) may give you some ideas on how you can use third party scheduling with apps. A bit of extra development will also give you emailing of the scheduled output.

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

Problem in generating the Oracle report6i to PDF file.

Hi guys,
I had encounter problem in generating the Oracle report6i to PDF file. The Amount column once the report is genrated to PDF it double the amount reflected in the PDF file report. See sample scenarios below:
Can anybody help me explain this issue how it really happens?
Example:
FROM ORACLE REPORTS6i :
ITEM # PRODUCT AMOUNT
1 PRINTER 5,000
2 KEYBOARD 2,000
TO PDF FILE :
ITEM # PRODUCT AMOUNT
1 PRINTER 10,000
2 KEYBOARD 4,000
Thank you.

Hi "LawlordsX",
I do understand the issue, something seems to have messed up the Shell Extensions on the 2 Lenovo laptops you talked about.
Could you please check if the 2 m/c(s) have an additional version of Office installed in parellal to Office 2007, say Office 2010 trial pre-installed on them. This can be verified via CONTROL PANEL > PROGRAMS AND FEATURES > Check for the versions of Office installed. If yes, please let me know the additional Office software version/type.
Also, could you be more specific about the bitage of the system, i.e. whether the Windows 7 m/c is 32-bit or 64-bit?
This can be checked from CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > Under "System" section check for "System Type".
If converting multiple files at a time to PDF is an issue, as an alternate you could use FILE > CREATE > BATCH CREATE MULTIPLE FILES to workaround the problem for the time being.
Thanks!

Can I schedule a discoverer In Oracle Discoverer Desktop, Plus, Viewer ?

Hi All,
I have a version of Oracle Administrator : 10.1.2.48.18. My customer tells me if he will be able to schedule a report in the Oracle Discoverer, and then this schedule send an email with the information that shows the report.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.-

Oracle Discoverer Desktop 11.1.1.3 11g install

Windows XP sp3
Work for a company
Installed Discoverer Desktop 11g 11.1.1.3
Upon launching application with __end-user Jane__ logged into computer, immediately get this error, 'dis51usr.exe not found, click Browse to locate' .
I installed the program with me logged in to computer (I have admin rights). Discoverer Desktop opens without error when I am logged into the computer. When the EU is logged in, we get the error. I had installed the app on another user's machine, John, and had same error. For user John, I added the user to 'Domain Users' and relaunch app and the error never came up (the app launched and came to the login gui, the app launch is a success. For the user I first mentioned, I added that user to 'Domain Users' but the error still comes up.
I do not know what to check that could be causing this issue.
Is it a path issue? Environmental Variables issue?
I do not have enough experience with oracle to know the proper 'user environmental variable' and the 'system environmental variable'. Please help!! Thank you.

Hello
Windows will look inside your PATH to see if it can find the file. If it cannot locate the file in your PATH you will get the dis51usr.exe not found error.
Can you post the PATH that is being used?
You can get the path as follows:
1. Launch Control Panel
2. Click System
3. Click Advanced System Settings
4. Click Environment Variables
5. Look in bottom half of screen for variable named PATH
6. Click Edit and copy the PATH then post it in here for me to look at
7. Click Cancel - do not edit the path
8. Close Control Panel
Best wishes

Oracle Discoverer Desktop Totals

We had 9.0.2.39 desktop client and recently, we applied Upgrade 54 for Oracle Discoverer .
With this version, totals does not seem to work properly.
With 9.0.2.39, we have developed some discoverer reports having columns with TOTALS (tools->Totals->SUM or CELL SUM).
With 9.0.2.54, some of the columns still have the totals , but for most of the columns, we dont get the totals.We tried Cell sum also but in vain.
Any idea why totals are not working with Discoverer 9.0.2.54?

Srilakshmi,
This problem happens if the datatype of the element you are trying to create an aggregate on is defined as a number without any precision. Because of this data structure, the default position of this element is set to Top when the table was imported into the Discoverer Administrator. So, to resolve this problem, change the default position of the attribute to data point in the Discoverer Administrator. This should resolve the problem you are having.
Hope this helps.

Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well,
For Oracle Desktop users:
a) do you ever get this msg when you exit Discov?
b) this pc uses: Windows XP Professional 2002 SP3 - does your pc have same?
I am trying to run Discov. through command line in a .bat file form Microsoft Access VB/A and:
1) the bat file works if i run it directly from Windows Explorer
2) the bat file DOES EVOKE Discoverer when executing from VBA, but it fails right before the parameter screen
comes up with a Windows error
3) bat file evokes the query WITHOUT parms, so that user can enter parms themselves
Rod West gave me an idea, yet trying to see if it's a more basic problem related to pc, Windows, etc.
tx for your ideas, sandra
Edited by: [email protected] on Jan 14, 2010 8:40 AM

Hi Patrick.
Thx for writing...
I must step out for lunch, and detach from this for a little while ....
a) i can try your idea, and if the idea works, it does not really help me, bec. most of my reports use parms
b) if i run .bat file directly from Windows explorer by clicking .bat file and then pressing enter , discov. opens fine
c) if i run .bat file from with Access VB/A using shell(full pathname of .bat), discov. fails right before parm screen comes up
this happens when i am signing in as myself, and executing a query from another sign on called SREG
as explained below:
this statement works BEAUTIFULLY: (divided into 4 lines for readablity)
C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe
/connect XXX_SignOn/XXX_Password@odsp8
/opendb XXX_queryName
/sheet all
From within VBA, i replace the xxx fields with valid signon and password.
Let's focus on xxx_queryName:
When i save a query in Discoverer, query is save to an INTERNAL database repository
with the user's signin as a preceding qualifier.
so if i sign in as mytfein, the query's name is MYTFEIN.queryname
To create a library of reports, our admin created a general id called SREG and we sign in using
SREG to save a report so that it is public.
to recap:
If i save query to database using my signin, mytfein
the query's name really is: MYTFEIN.queryName
if i log as SREG and save query to database
the query's name really is: SREG.queryname
now, the shell(.bat) DOES work when the command line uses:
MYTFEIN as the signin AND MYTFEIN as qualifier for query name
C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe
/connect mytfein/mytfein123@odsp
/opendb mytfein.Advisor_CAD_M3
/sheet all
the shell(.bat) DOES NOT work when the command line uses:
MYTFEIN as the signin AND SREG as qualifier for query name
I want MYTFEIN-->SREG to work, bec. I want to create an Access form that will allow
the user to evoke queries from our public SREG library.
C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe
/connect mytfein/mytfein123@odsp
/opendb SREG.Advisor_CAD_M3
/sheet all
this is the error message from windows event viewer:

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.

Oracle Discoverer error

hi, i have the following message when i try to open an oracle discoverer report using web version
"contact with the discoverer server has been lost if this persists, please contact your discoverer administrator"
while i can open the same report using oracle discoverer desktop for windows.
thanks

It sounds like the discoverer thread on the server has crashed, perhaps because it has run out of memory.
Set the Retrieve data incrementally in groups of to 25 rather than the default of 250 (Tool - Options - Query Governor ). DBA should look into where the default comes from in the system so you do not need to touch each end users machine.
Check the file pref.txt in <ias home>/6iserver/discwb4/util. It sounds like the "RowsPerFetch" setting needs to change. Once you change it you need to stop and re-start (stopall.sh and startall.sh) Discoverer.
