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.

  • VPD and discoverer portlets

    Hi,

    ### What kind of problem do you have? ###
    Security Issues
    ### Describe the problem you are having in detail. Include any notes, guides, or documentation
    that you have followed. ###
    We have test implementation of VPD or row-level security at database level. This works fine with discoverer queries. At the
    portal level we are okay with getting discoverer portlets via a public
    connection (the VPD works fine).
    Q1. What kind of parameter form would be better for discoverer portlets so that we retrieve list of values via a sql query? Simple parameter form allows static list of values so any suggestion on what parameter would be good and easy to implement to write sql queries.
    Q2. With parameters form of some kind we are trying to limit the list of values for each parameter that we have at the portal based on the user logon at the portal somehow married up to database users. (FYI-- we don't have SSO for discoverer). Any suggestions as to how this can be implemented also would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,
    -Esther

    I really hope someone can help! I'm trying to accomplish the same exact thing! The private connection for each user gets tricky because not all of our users know exactly what they are doing. Please help!!

  • Discoverer Portlet Provider Error

    Good day. I would like to seek anyone's assitance with the errors encountered below when trying to manipulate Discoverer Portlet Provider through Oracle Portal:
    1. While trying to view Discoverer Portlet Workbook or Worksheet:
    "The portlet has not been defined. The publisher must define the portlet by clicking on Edit Defaults for the portlet on the edit mode of this page. Please contact the publisher of this page."
    2. While trying to delete Discoverer Portlet Provider:
    "The page cannot be displayed" error from Internet Explorer.
    3. While trying to deregister Discoverer Portlet Provider:
    "The provider could not be contacted, do you still want to delete provider "DISCO_DATAMART_PROVIDER"?
    The provider could not be contacted and its deregistration function was not initiated. Deleting the provider will remove it from the portal. Additional action may be necessary by the provider to remedy the failure to call its deregistration function."
    Here's our infrastructure versions:
    Portal version 9.0.2.2.22
    Discoverer Version Release 2 (9.0.2.53)
    Previously, the highest release of patchset was installed in our machine but I've reverted it back to a lower patchset on both cases, same error was encountered for the above-mentioned.
    We've successfully registered discoverer portletprovider and created a public connection via "General Discoverer" in OEM. And Discoverer Viewer / Plus are working properly.
    I think this problem has been posted in metalink and some other sites but no definite answer yet (as far as I've read).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.

    It seems wherever section I post this I can't get any solution. I was instructed by someone in this forum to post this in the discoverer section. Up to now, no replies yet. I already raised a TAR for this and still no answer. I've researched through metalink and so many of us have this problem. Attention Oracle, we really need your assistance for this product of yours. Please help us out.

  • Discoverer Portlets Example

    Hi All Gurus !
    A very simple question. Where can I find a working example / proper documentation about how to deploy Discoverer worksheets into the 9ias R2 Portal ?
    Is there a predefined Provider for this or do I need to create one or what ? I have tried to read through documentation related to this but can't find the Providers that should exist by default (or should they ?) in the Portal.
    Similar problems with Reports rdf publishing through the Portal...but that's another thread :-)
    Thank you very much in advance for helping out with this!
    Cheers,
    Kalle

    If you're getting the "discoverer portlet is busy", you want to check which database connect string is used.
    1. Log onto hostname.domain:1810 (EM Website)
    2. Click on the 9iAS mid-tier
    3. Click on the <mid-tier>.hostname.domain_discoverer link
    4. Click on update on the General Discoverer Configuration
    5. Ensure if you have connection to the db instance (username /password). Connect String that can be found on Oracle9iAS_midtier_home/Network/ADMIN/tnsnames.ora. Verify that entry in tnsnames.ora file is being used in your public connection from EM. Although part of the connection in EM refers to "database" you may want to populate this parameter with the database "connection String" that you can find in the tnsnames.ora file. Once you have created the connection in EM. Try http://<hostname.domain>:7779/discoverer/plus and see if you could use the predefined connection to connect to the database you're basing your analysis on.

    Thank you for your reply,
    I can see the PortletProvider page and I can register it with the portal. I can even see the 2 portlets that it exposes.
    Unfortunately when I add them to a page or try to preview them I first get an Internal error 500 and after that start getting a "discoverer portlet is busy" message with both of the portlets.
    This does not generate any error logs anywhere in the system as far as I can see.

  • Slow performance of discoverer portlets

    Hi,
    I am running into slow performance of a particular page in portal, there are multiple sites hosted on the portal but these all have static text and are very quick to load but the one page with discoverer portlets and a web-clippping portlet is taking ages. If I run these reports on their own they are instant. Has anyone had similar problems with 9.0.2 portal and the discoverer reports ? I tried to identify a particular report that may be the culprit by deleting them one by one and to no avail. After a few hours effort I found the design mode was hanging as well. Again, just for this 1 page.
    There are 3 tabs on this page with about 4 report portlets and 1 web-clipping portlet.
    Thanks for any help,
    Brandon

    Thanks for the help.
    Seems to have been resolved although I'm not sure if thats the end of the story. Will wait and see.....
    So far apparently a port conflict of some sort in the discoverer config was causing it to hang and then also other system demands on the network and server housing the discoverer end-user layer were also causing problems.
    No error messages unfortunately......

  • How to change Refresh Time in  a Discoverer Portlet?

  • Success with export/import of Discoverer portlets?

    Hi folks.
    Before I begin working with the 9iAS export/import procedures, can anyone tell me if they've been successful exporting and importing pages with Discoverer portlets from one 9iAS server to another?
    Are there any gotchas?

    Ravishankar,
    Thanks.
    So are you saying:
    Pages with Discoverer portlets will be transported with the Discoverer portlets in place.
    However, after the transport, the end-user will have to "Edit Defaults" again.
    And user customizations would have to be re-applied.

  • Discoverer Portlet security

    Once a discoverer portlet has been added to portal, only the user that added the portlet can edit it. The only workaround I can think of is for all administrators to use one generic user to add and edit discoverer portlets.
    Does anyone else have ANY other suggestions?

    Got it...i can figure that out using fnd_global.resp_id.
    Thanks

  • Error editing Discoverer Portlet 'Edit Defaults'

    Hello,
    I am trying to edit my discoverer portlet to change the refresh options. However, whenever I click the edit default link, the following error message shows up on the page:
    The current user does not own this instance. Only the owner can Edit Defaults for this portlet. Please contact the portlet owner
    This happens even though I log in as the portal admin user.
    Any ideas?

    Did you find a solution to the problem? I am encountering the same problem. If the discoverer portlet is created by somebody else then I am unable to edit the defaults.

  • Discoverer portlet error: blob content is empty.

    I created 6 disco reports and some are giving error, Failed to retrieve an entry from the cache in the Discoverer Portlet Repository. The BLOB content is empty.
    This error only happens with certain users. The users can log directly into discoveer viewer and see the reports. Just not in portal. It also gives me this error randomly and I have to delete the portlet and recreate it. Has anyone else experienced this problem.

    I copied and pasted the above code to my jsp. It works fine for me . I get the content correctly. Tried on a ps 7.1

  • Refreshing Discoverer Portlets

    Using 9iAS R2, we have set up discoverer portlets on our intranet and have serveral scheduled worksheets which display within portlets.
    On one report I have scheduled it to run once an hour and I have also set the Discoverer worksheet porlet to refresh on an hourly basis - which it seems to do.
    However, the data is not updating at all. It is only when we actually open the worksheet using Discoverer Plus and save that data in the Portlet refreshes.
    When users click on the 'view worksheet' link and open Discoverer Viewer the correct data appears
    Perhaps I have missed something . . is there another way to ensure that the data shown in the portlets is refreshed?

    I believe that the refresh is set as a DBMS_JOB in the database, however, I have no clue where this is set, obviously somewhere in the product and/or identity metadata database depending on your configuration. Something that might be an easier solution is use something like HTTPClient from the Apache Foundation (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/) and write a small app that logs into portal as an administrator and then calls each portlet's refresh URL in order. It know its a workaround, however, it should work, that being said I've never tried it. I don't know if I'll get time to write it, but if someone gets a chance to write it before I do please shoot me the code :P
