Oracle Discoverer Viewer will not display in browser

Hi,
I tried using the link below to get to discoverer viewer but it is not working. I can access Oracle Enterprise Manager without any problem.
Could you please help me with that.
Thanks,
Vani
===========================================
Start a Web browser and enter the Discoverer Plus URL containing the fully qualified host name (including port number if necessary) used by your own installation.
For example:
http://machinename.myorganization.com:7777/discoverer/plus
Where:
machinename.myorganization is the hostname and domain on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed
7777 (optional) is the port number on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed if the default port number (i.e. port 80) has been changed
/discoverer/plus is the URL command that starts Discoverer Plus

I am using oracle 9iAS on Windows 2000 Professional.
Database is the one created from the Oracle 9iAS CD that holds the 9iAS Infrastructure.
I have tried using both Netscape 7.1 and Internet Explorer 6.
At this moment, I am hosting database, Application server and browser on this test machine.
I am starting to believe that may be I do not have the correct EUL version but I have used Oracle IDs to create the EUL. It is version 5.x.x. I am not at the location so I cannot give the exact EUL version.
Thanks,

Removing fields from Discoverer Viewer Login Page 10g

Hi,
I am new to discoverer 10g. I wanted to know if its possible to remove the non mandatory fields from the Disco viewer home page like Locale, End user layer and Connect To since they can be configured to take default values.
Once a user logs in, he views a set of workbooks. Can this page be replace with a customized report?
Thanks

Are you on a 11.5.10 environment? If so please make sure your DBC-file is generated correctly. Since 11.5.10 Discoverer will be started using SSL mode.
Do you have the same issue when connecting thourg the Desktop or even with the Plus (directly from the /discoverer/plus url)? If so, please make sure the 'ICX: Launch Discoverer Plus/Viewer' have the correct value. E.g. http://<server.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]

Discoverer Viewer presentation

In ui_config.xml you can set up one or more templates which can be chosen when selecting "Presentaion options".
How can I activate a template as a default template used when users are accessing worksheets?
Is it possible to activate a template by submitting an url parameter?

Tweak Discoverer Viewer layout

Hi ,
I am facing a strange problem while trying to roll out the discoverer viewer reports through discoverer viewer. The users, who have been using Excel sheets for years, are asking for lots of changes in the way discoverer viewer displays data. Alhough they are aware that there are lots of other advantages of this tool over excel, but still there are some problems that they feel are basic, and must be adressed. Can someone please help me out on these?
1) The row height of rows in discoverer cannot be altered, so even when the font size of data is just 6, the rows are wide enough to fit data of font size 10!. The layout/format options in discoverer do not provide option to shrink row heights, and so lots of empty space.
2) The reports have to be scrolled using Left ->, Down -> links if the number of rows and columns are large. Although, the Rows and Columns link can be used to fetch all rows and columns in one go, but that has to be done everytime a report is opened. The users want that the number of rows and columns be set to a high value by default. But I could find no place where this can be set as default for all reports.
3) A graphical logo can be displayed in the Title when using Desktop. But this is not available in Plus and Viewer. Moreover in the page where report is displayed, Oracle Discoverer Viewer logo is visible at the top which is not required. Effectively, what is wanted is missing and what not is very well there :-(. how do I do these changes?
4) The NULL values have been set to be displayed as '-' when reports were saved in Plus. But the Viewer still shows them up as NULL. I had to change each of the report in viewer to display the NULL as '-' by going to the Link 'Worksheet Options'. I can't understand that why there is no synch between Plus and Viewer for this setting. Surprisingly now, the worksheet options link has vanished from the viewer page after I did some changes a couple of weeks back, and now I am unable to do those changes too :-((. How do I bring the link back? or how do I set the NULL to be displayed as '-' be default for all reports?
Lots of questions I know... but I am stuck and this is actually affecting the acceptance of the tool among the users. They have been using the excel sheets that are very flexible(the world knows), but still they would be more than happy to use Viewer ,if at least these basic change are made.
Any help on any of these is appreciated.
Thanks

Discoverer Viewer in mobile devices

Hi,
Is is possible to be shown Oracle Discoverer Viewer contents in mobile devices like iPad or iPhone?

Hi,
I haven't tried this but I don't see why not. Disco Viewer is just HTML pages and if you need to you can configure the look and feel of the pages specifically for mobile devices by changing the UIX files.

hi,
Can anyone please advise how to change Discoverer viewer password. I found in Metalink that latest editions are capable of changing passwords, but found no document on how to implement and use it.
Pls. help
-SBan

Hi Sban,
Will this work for you?
To change the password for a connection:
1. Display the Discoverer Viewer connections page (for more information, see "How to display the Discoverer Viewer connections page" - http://docs.huihoo.com/oracle/docs/B14099_19/bi.1012/b13987/vstart.htm#CHDHCCED) .
2. Select the Update icon next to the connection for which you want to change the password.
3. Click Change Database Password.
4. In the Password field, enter the current database password for the current username.
5. In the New Password field, enter a new database password for the current username.
6. In the Verify Password field, re-enter the new database password for the current username.
7. Click Finish.
The Connect to OracleBI Discoverer page is displayed. You can now use the connection to start Discoverer Viewer.
Good Luck,

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.

Discoverer Viewer Report with Page Items Slow Performance

I created a report in Discoverer User that has page items and parameters and runs fine (under 3 minutes) in Discoverer User, but when I try and run it in Discoverer Viewer it takes a long time. It took over 70 minutes before manually terminating it. I made a copy of the report and removed the page items and tried to run it again in Discoverer Viewer and now the report runs in under 3 minutes. Any idea why a report with page items would run in Discoverer user fine, but not discoverer viewer?
I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)

As long as you can access the middle-tier server where Discoverer Viewer is running, you should be able to run and view Discoverer worksheets.
While it is difficult to even start guessing what the problem might be, if the machine you installed Discoverer on has DHCP addressing, you will run into problems.
Thanks

We are creating work sheets in arial font size 8.

the font size is mentioned as 8. not 8px.
How I can modify the work sheets in viewer.
Exactly which tag I should modify for this.
And the other thing is the heading section is coming something as

Has anyone who reads this, ever done this?
Just wondering as it sure looks like Disco is becoming pretty slick if this has been done. With the new JAVA interfacing stuff, it does seem to open a new world, but where I'm stuck on understanding this, is that how on earth a Java program can access a Disco worksheet (not just a workbook, but take out the worksheet in a workbook and present it).
So, with my ignorance, I would have thought this is not possible, but with the moves Disco, etc. is taking, I would just like to know if I'm in the 'dark ages' and this has been done successfully by someone.
... keeping up with the new stuff is a full time job! ...

Oracle Apps EUL with Custom Discoverer Views

Disco Environment:
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.2)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.54.25)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.54.25
Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.54.25
End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.54.25
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
Oracle Applications R12 EUL
All,
Up until now, we have been placing our Discoverer custom views in our apps schema. From a "keeping track" perspective and from a "keep Disco views separate from apps" perspective, we are inclined to create a custom schema to place all of our custom Discoverer views. I have heard that Noetix does this as well.
To accomplish this, we were planning to provide a grant select to all tables, views and synonyms (with a limited execute rights to some packages).
The easiest thing to do is to keep on doing what we are presently doing. We have a naming schema in place that enables us to quickly identify all custom Disco views.
Can I have people whom have implemented a custom schema for their Disco views in apps let me know how this has worked for them? This type of Disco environment appears to require a lot of communication between the Disco staff and the DBA to make sure these grants are set-up correctly.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi,
All the eBS sites I have worked on have created the majority of their custom views in the APPS schema using a naming convention to separate them from the seeded views. The reason being is that the SQL in the view (including all the function calls) is run with the privileges of the owner of the view. If the view is defined in another schema, then this schema must have access to the APPS database objects which can be a lot of work to set up because it is very hard to identify the dependencies and unnecessarily opens up the security on the APPS schema.
Where the data is held in custom tables and there are views on these custom tables, then both the tables and the views are held in a separate schema.

Missing "Worksheets' in Discoverer Viewer

Hi everyone,
I am using Discoverer 10g. I created a workbook with 2 worksheets. When I use my Discoverer Viewer I am able to have the "Worksheets" option that allow me to switch between sheets but when I access it by clicking "analyze" link in the portal, this option is missing.
Has anybody encountered the same issue? Any solutions/ suggestions are most welcome :)
Cheers,
Angeline

In Discoverer 10.1.2, when you analyze a worksheet in Viewer by clicking the 'Analyze' link in Portal, you are confined to that single worksheet. This mode is also known as 'Single Worksheet Viewer' mode.
Usability tests we conducted told us that the ability to navigate out to other worksheets in Viewer when users had come to Viewer from Portal (by clicking the 'Analyze...' link) confused people.
Now, in 10.1.2, when you are in Single Worksheet Viewer mode, the 'Exit' link at the top is replaced by 'Save and Return to Portal' and a 'Cancel and Return to Portal' links. If the worksheet portlet publisher has disallowed saving changes back to Portal, you will see only the second link.
Thanks

Discoverer viewer -- export to pdf doesn't retain page settings.

Hi,
The report output in discoverer viewer is much different from that of plus. I am concerned abt the report headers. In discoverer plus, the headers are left, center and right aligned.
But in viewer, every thing is aligned center. How can I get the report o/p (same as that of plus) in viewer??
Thanks

Discoverer Viewer Actions changed by User (version Oracle 10.1.2)

Does anyone know if it is possible to control the list of available actions to selected users of discoverer Viewer?
I'm using a Portal Dashboard to display Discoverer worksheets. The user can click on the analyze link, which brings up the Discoverer viewer in a new window. I want to be able to hide or remove the export and email Actions for selected users.
Thanks.

Hi
Using standard Viewer functionality it is impossible to have the system change the links on a user by user basis. If you are clever at writing UIX you might be able to alter the code that controls the Viewer interface but be warned, doing so could well invalidate your support agreement. This line of attack is not for the feint of heart and you need to backup your original files first, and even then thoroughly test it on a non-production application server first.
I hope this helps
Best wishes
