Oracle9iAS Discoverer

Hi,
We have recently installed the Oracle9iAS R2 and our portal tool is up and
running.
Bud how do I integrate the 9iAS discoverer into portal environment?
I checked the otn.oracle.com website and found some docs, but links are not working.
Any help?
thanks
Sami

Difference between "Oracle9iAS Discoverer" and "Oracle9iDS Discoverer"?

What is the difference between "Oracle9iAS Discoverer" and "Oracle9iDS Discoverer"? Thanks!

9iAS is the application server. It is a bundle of software, one component of which is the Discoverer server.
9iDS is the development software. Again, it is a bundle of software, one component of which is the Discoverer EUL administration tool.
9iDS also contains a Windows-only Discoverer client, should you wish to use Discoverer in client-server mode (eg., for your power-power users or for development of very complex reports).
In order to use Discoverer effectively you need to install 9iAS on the server (twice!) and 9iDS on the Discoverer administrator's machine. In this configuration, regular users need nothing more than a modest PC with a decent web browser.

Oracle9ias Discoverer configuration page doesnt display discoverer plus.

Oracle9ias Discoverer configuration page doesnt display discoverer plus. How do i make sure discoverer is completely installed.

Hi
Looks like you have two threads on this subject. Please see my reply on this thread: Oracle discoverer ver 9.0.2.39.02

Install Oracle9iAS Discoverer Release 1.0.2.4.1 with 8.1.7 Pers.

I'm trying to install Discoverer but Installer complains. When Oracle home set to OraHome81, this message comes up:
General Information
The location specified "C:\Oracle\ora81" is already used as an Oracle home for 'Oracle 817 Production'. It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'.
When I created a new Oracle home Disc41 and run Installer I get this message:
Error Information
Oracle Discoverer does not support multiple installations, and therefore cannot be installed on 'Disc41'. It can only be installed on 'Orahome81'. In order to install Oracle Discoverer, please run the Oracle Installer again, and select 'Orahome81' as the target location.
When I set Oracle home to OraDev6i (where I installed Developer) I get a similar error.
What do I need to do to get the product installed on Windows XP Pro., Dell Inspiron PIII, 512 MB Ram?

After looking at the installation notes, you aren't going to like this answer. Oracle does not certify installing Discover on the same server. Discoverer should be installed with Oracle Client and then using Net8, connect into the database on a different system (read server). Hope this helps,
Regards,
Michael

Oracle9iAS v2 Discoverer Services Configuration Page

Hi, i am trying to change communication protocol in discoverer plus since i could not connect to it outside of firewall(inside firewall it works fine). In the documentation it says that i need to go to em site's Oracle9iAS Discoverer Services Configuration Page and change the default communication protocol.
But when i go that page i do not see the link to Discover plus. I could only see(General Discover,Discoverer Viewer, and discoverer portlet provider links.
How can i have a discoverer portlet link appear on the configuration page? Any help is appreciated.
Below is a log file(i changed a url for security purpose):

Export option in discoverer viewer

Hi All,
I am using oracle 9ias discoverer and i need to remove export option from discoverer viewer page.
I made changes in ui_config.xsl and also unchecked the export data option from preferences page, but it is not reflected in my workbook. when i click on the export data link, a new page is displayed with a combo to select export format and when i click on apply button it forwards to connection page.
Can anyone please tell me why it is happening like this and how to resolve it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Mukesh Harjai

I assume you are following the directions in Chapter 10 - "Customizing Discoverer Viewer" of the Oracle9iAS Discoverer Configuration Guide.
You should be able to remove the Export link.

Discoverer 10g installed with Ora Apps 11i on same box

I've worked through the "coexistence restrictions" for Discoverer 10g (9.0.4) and 9iR1 (1.0.2.2.x) which states:
"The following instances of Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) and Oracle9i Application Server Release 1 (1.0.2.2.x) can coexist on the same computer only after Oracle9iAS Discoverer has been shutdown in the Oracle9iAS Release 1 (1.0.2.2.x) Oracle home:
1.0.2.2.x Standard Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms
1.0.2.2.x Enterprise Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms
1.0.2.2.x Standard Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms without OracleAS Infrastructure 10g
1.0.2.2.x Enterprise Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms without OracleAS Infrastructure 10g"
Does this imply that I can install 11i on a box, permanently shut down Discoverer and then ON THE SAME BOX install 10g Infrastructure and Midtier including Discoverer 10g?
Has anyone worked through this installation and made it work?
Thanks

This IS possible and have now done it with assist from Oracle tech support.
1. Install 64-bit 10.2.0.1 Databse into OraDb_home.
2. Install 32-bit 10.2.0.1 Client (needs Windows ODBC extensions) into OraClient_home.
3. Apply patch 5500954 for 64-bit - this is a Critical Bug patch 8 for 64-bit.
4. Apply patch 5337014 for 32-bit - this is a patchset to upgrade the Client to 10.0.2.0.3.
5. Contrary to what Oracle note 334528.1 says (which is to patch the 64-bit Server, you must patch/upgrade the 32-bit client as well (otherwise, it still fails).
Also, DataDirect's Connect Ver 5.2 ODBC Oracle "wire-driver" (32-bit version) will work without installing the OraClient at all.

Discoverer and Compaq Tru64

I need to know whether or not Discoverer will run on Compaq Tru64. I heard that Oracle9iAS Discoverer Plus and Viewer simply does not run on Compaq Tru64! That this is because Compaq and Inprise, who develops the Visibroker component,can't agree on the license.
How can we state that 9iAS runs on Compaq Tru64, but a significant portion of it's ability (Business Intelligence) DOES NOT? We have a great 9iAS/Disco opportunity and need to get it running on Compaq. Are there any workarounds??? I need to know ASAP.

RE: Public Discoverer Portlets

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I created a discoverer workbook and shared it with Public. Using the public connection I created, I placed two of the worksheets on my portal home page which is accessible to the public. Everything worked fine and has been ok for several months. Last week, I added additional worksheets to the workbook and tried to access them via discoverer portlets using the public connection. When I authenticate against the portal, I can see the discoverer portlets on the page. However. when I go to the page without authenticating, I can see everything on the page except the discoverer portlets. I have tripled checked the portlet default settings and the option to "display data using publishers connection" is set. All of the worksheets in the workbook access the same table. Why is it I can see some of the worksheets and not all using the same connection?
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am desperate!
I am using OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.1) and Portal ( 10.1.4)
Thanks

You have a good reference in the chapter 11 of the Oracle9iAS Discoverer Configuration Guide.
You have to register the portlet provider. When it ask you about the URL you have to type http://<hostname[:port]>/discoverer/portletprovider.
Then you can add the two porlets in any portal page.

Starting (and stopping) is a very basic task to be able to perform and should be found in the documentation set, which is found here (from the OTN main page):

Disc4i Plus & Viewer v.4.1.37 EUL compatibility

I have downloaded oracle9iAS Discoverer plus and viewer version 4.1.37. The release notes says that this version will only connect to an EUL that is created or upgraded using Discoverer Administration edition 4.1.36 or 4.1.37.
My questions are:
1)Will this version be available for download, and when?
2)or can I get it in another way?
Thanks

We had the same problem. There is a patch available on oracle metalink that will upgrade disco admin edition (to version 4.1.36), which will then update your EUL.
Here is how you get it:
-go to: "metalink.oracle.com"
-click: "patches"
-click: "Click here for Patches released..."
-select product: "Discoverer admin..."
-select platform: "MS Windows NT/2000..."
and there it is...
here is the patch info:
ID:657540 Patchset::1750539
Discoverer 4.1 Admin and Desktop Edition Patch version 4.1.36 for MS Windows NT

Any way to place a "global" header?

I would like to know if there is a way to place a header on all Discoverer reports. My first instinct would be to modify the .css or .xslt on the middle tier so that each report that prints out contains a "My Company" header.
Any ideas or actual process would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

HTML PDF Oracle9iAS Discoverer User's Guide - the hyperlink to the pdf file does not work, please fix

Ok, there are 2 docs i've tried.
A = Doc created originally from MPB Pages with hyperlink
B = Doc created from iPad Pages with hyperlink
A was transfered to iPad Pages using iTune. I emailed A as pdf from iPad to gmail and reopen the file on iPad using Quickoffice / PDF Reader Lite, the link is NOT active, not working. BUT, when i read A using MBP gmail, the link is ACTIVE, i click on the link and it brings me to the correct webpage.
As for B, after the page was created with links on iPad, i emailed B as pdf from iPad to gmail, reopen the file on iPad using Quickoffice / PDF Reader Lite, the link is NOT active, and this time, when i read B using MBP gmail, the link is NOT active as well.
Weird huh? I'm starting to sense that is the problem with iPad Pages. What say you?
