Remove Save as option in R12 instance - discoverer reports

Hi,
IN R12 instance discoverer reports we find following option at top-left side of the screen
- Rerun query
- Save as
- Revert to saved
- Export
....etc
Is it possible to remove 'Save as' option? If yes, please suggest how can it be done.
Thanks,
Kamath.

Hi Kamath
The whole of the Viewer interface is customizable, meaning you turn off / on the features you want to see made available to your users. Thus, if you don't want your users to be able to Export you can turn it off.
Rod has commented that the only way you can stop a user from saving a workbook is to turn off that privilege in the Admin edition. This is absolutely correct. Just turning off or disabling the Save and Save As buttons inside Viewer will stop stop a user from saving. What it will stop is the casual saving but if a report has been modified when the user goes to exit they will be asked if they want to save, even with the Save and Save As button disabled. Thus, you do need to remove the privilege.
As for altering the look and feel of Viewer, not only can you decide which buttons to activate / deactivate, but you can also change the base fonts, color scheme and even add your corporate logo. I have been to many organizations who have changed Viewer to have the look and feel of their corporate website.
I hope this information helps
Best wishes
Michael

How to remove save, cancel option when end user runs the workbook in Portal

Hi,
how to remove save, cancel option when end user runs the workbook and make some small changes like using page items or increasing rows and columns

But still the end user gets options of saving when made small changes to workbook like increasing rows and columns
Is their any place, I need to make changes?

Don't use JSP to serve a binary file. It almost implies the use of awful scriptlets and the invocation of both the response writer and the response outputstream which would only lead to IllegalStateException headaches in the server logs.
Use a Servlet instead. Specify the file name as request parameter and let the servlet read the file and write it to the outputstream of the response.

HOW TO ACTIVATE SAVE LAYOUT OPTION IN VA05 T CODE

Dear Genios,
i am facing probel to activate the save layout option in any sap standard reports.
I want to create & save a layout in standard report va05.
please help me for the same.
Regards
Rabin Nayak

Go to SU01/SU3 ( to ur ID) select parameters tab and then scrol down and press F4 select SD_VARIANT_MAINTAIN and in the next field select A or X then try it will allow u to save ur own variant.(the save icon come to screen variant selection screen)
More on this:
By default, SAP user can't save report layout in some SAP SD t-code such as: VA05 and SDO1. The 'save' menu will be grey. But, you actually can save the layout by adding a parameter in your SAP user profile. You do that with t-code: SU3. Go to 'parameters' tab and add new parameter id, which is: SD_VARIANT_MAINTAIN'. The parameter value for that is 'A'. Then save your user profile and try again to save layout in VA05 or SDO1 t-code.

Invoking Discoverer Report from Zoom Menu Option

HI there
I've seen this on client site but never done it myself. Does anyone have any documentation or guidance on how to set up a form personalization so that the zoom menu option on a form links to a discoverer report, potentially passing parameter values to limit the data? Can forget the parameter side if it's complicated for now as we don't have any full requirements.
Many thanks for any help
Cheers, Kate

Hi
Zoom functionality is very simple just follow the bellow steps
• Enter the Form Personalization form. (M) Help > Diagnostics > Custom Code > Personalize.
• Rule Seq: 10
• Description: Create Menu Item
• Trigger Event: WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
• Context: User and set the value to your user name (don't forget to do this for every Rule you define)
• Select the Actions tab
• Actions Seq: 10
• Type: Menu
• Menu Entry: SPECIAL31
• Menu Label: Discoverer Report
• Rule Seq: 30
• Description: Open Discoverer Report
• Trigger Event: SPECIAL31
• Context: User and set the value to your user name
• Actions Seq: 10
• Type: Builtin
• Builtin Type: Launch a Function
• Function Code: XXX---Function name
• Function Name: wil be defaulted from the code
• Save your work and exit all the forms.
Try it out!!!

Discoverer Reports does not work in Multi-org Environment after R12 Upgrade

Discoverer Reports does not work in Multi-org Environment after R12 Upgrade. Created a simple report using the below query:
SELECT po_header_id, segment1, type_lookup_code
FROM po_headers
WHERE segment1 = '5000002'
Query works perfectly fine; when i set the ORG_CONTEXT in the database using the command:
EXEC mo_global.set_policy_context('S',129)
But the report doesn't fetch any data when ran from an Org based responsibility. We've ensured that the MO: Operting Unit is set accurately and general Oracle reports (PLSQL Program OR XML Publisher) are working perfectly fine.
===========
I followed the steps provided in Metalink Note: 732826.1 - It works for some responsibilities where the MO: Security Profile is not set; but fails for those responsibilities where the MO: Security Profile is set.
I am looking for specific solution that works irrespective of either the MO: Operating Unit profile is set of not.
Please suggest. Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Kesava Chunduri

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for the quick response.
Yes, I've gone thru both the notes specified below:
Discoverer Workbooks Based On Organization Enabled Views Are Not Populated [ID 1293438.1]
- Tried this option; but this option is messing up a couple of Oracle Standard Functionalities.
- For ex: If i set this profile option; we are not able to create any receipts using Custom Responsibilities.
I am able to create the receipt, when i remove this profile option.
No Data Shows for Reports in Discoverer 10g with Applications Release 12 [ID 1054380.1]
- I see that the products i am running these reports from AR/GL - already exists in these tables.
Anything other options??
Thanks,
Kesava

Is it possible to use the same OSSO/OID for multiple R11 and R12 instances?

Hello guru's,
We have multiple R11and R12 instances that should be configured for Oracle SSO 10.1.4.3. For OID, we are still trying to decide between OID 10.1.4.3, or OID 11g. OAM is not an option because we also also need OSSO integration with Siteminder. We will also need to SSO-enable Discoverer an Forms.
I have successfully configured SSO for a single-instance EBS R12, but not for multiple instances, let alone include R11 and other components into the mix.
Do you have any special tips, guidance or lessons learned when SSO-enabling multiple instances into the same SSO/OID?
Thanks!
Maria

Interestingly, the article talks about using the same SSO/OID for EBS, JD Edwards, Peoplesoft multiple R11 instances, but did not mention 'multiple EBS versions'. Am I just being picky or there was a reason for it not being mentioned?In Steven Chan blog (in the same link), see the following:
Comprehensive Single Sign-On Solution+
If you have one or more E-Business Suite Release 11i instances and are tired of maintaining users separately for each environment, you can create a central OracleAS 10g environment and manage all 11i users in one place.
If you have a combination of PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and the E-Business Suite in your organization, you can use OracleAS 10g to manage users for all three environments centrally.
If you have a combination of the E-Business Suite and custom applications based on Oracle databases or OracleAS 10g technology, you can use OracleAS 10g to manage users for all applications in a single place.

Hussein

GL_SECURITY_PKG - R12 Discoverer Reporting - Production Service Unusable

Hi,
We have followed the following note for our R12 upgrade:
R12 Discoverer Reports: Gl_security_pkg.Validate_access Reports Not Working [ID 804113.1]
We set the system profile option: Initialization 'SQL Statement - Custom' for the responsibility to the value 'Begin GL_SECURITY_PKG.init(); end;'
This corrected our problem, and correctly maintained the GL Security Rules in our Discoverer reports.
But since going live in Production, the service is almost unusable because it is causing severe performance with 400 redo logs being generated an hour with calls to the table GL_BIS_SEGVAL_INT. The minute we remove the profile options the service performance is back to normal, but we have no GL Security Rules in Discoverer.
Please can anyone advise/help if they have experienced this before, or can help with an alternative solution?
Many thanks,
Gary

But since going live in Production, the service is almost unusable because it is causing severe performance with 400 redo logs being generated an hour with calls to the table GL_BIS_SEGVAL_INT. The minute we remove the profile options the service performance is back to normal, but we have no GL Security Rules in Discoverer.Please see (User Logins And Session Timeout. Massive Archive Entries in GL_BIS_SEGVAL_INT. [ID 733672.1).
Please can anyone advise/help if they have experienced this before, or can help with an alternative solution?If the solution in this doc does not help, then please log a SR.Thanks,Hussein

Setting up no of columns in R12 discoverer report

Hi,
We are working on R12 discoverer report.
In the instance when we run the report, by default we see 6 columns and we have to click on link 'Right' to see ther columns.
A logged in user can set the no of columns to 25 or so but this ihas to be done everytime for every user
How can we set the no of columns in the report to say 25 at once? Is this a set up option in the instance or in
BI 10-g Disco admin edition?
Thanks,
Gowtam.

Hi,
You can try changing the ColsPerPage in the Pref.txt on the Apps server and then running ApplyPreferences.sh. See the documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13918_03/prefs.htm#i1008666) for details.

Discoverer Report - Multiple instance migration

Hi
We are using Discoverer 4i reports. We are using 5 Test instances. Say
DEV,DEV1,CRP1,CRP2,CRP3.
We are doing development in DEV instance and we want to migrate the same report to DEV1 instance. We needs to recreate the same report in DEV1 Instance. It is time taking and double efforts need.
We have tried below ways, but we have failed in some cases
1. Taking *.dis file and save in different database
2. Taking the export of BA and import in another instances.
Is there any software available in the market to migrate discoverer report between instances. ( Ex like Kintana for Ebusiness suite migration).
It will be helpful for me, if you have any ideas/comments/suggestion to overthis instance report migration problem.
Thanks in advance.
Navas

Hey Navas.
This seems to be something many companies wrestle with. A recent client I was at had a similar situation but absolutely, didn't want any exports / imports of the BA and all had to be manually coded in each.
Reason for this was that you had to write up detailed explanations on what you did so it could be manually copied into PROD by the DBAs and therefore, no export / import (with the exception of you didn't recreate the file system saved report obviously).
Also, I can attest (and have commented on this before), Disco 4 has seemed 'challenged' to me in the past and an export / import from one v4 EUL to another v4 EUL sometimes doesn't work exactly the same (ie: a file system saved workbook in one EUL doesn't work in a newly exported / imported BA in the other EUL. With different EULs it appears that when people make changes to each, and delete their changes, it can cause problems (ie: ids being renamed to _1, etc.) which just makes life difficult.
This is why for non-PROD instances, more times than not you just refresh the entire EUL to either your PROD instance (and apply changes you're working on again) or harmonize all test instances.

Are you sure you are trying to make an apps connection? Try with a : (colon) after the username.
Also if you now have secure connections ensure you have the .dbc file in place. See this post for more details: Re: I can log to database by Plus but can't by Desktop

Remove Private Window Option in Safari MacBookPro

Remove Private Window Option in Safari MacBookPro
Hello there,
I am trying to remove the Private Window Option in my Safari MBP Version: 10.10.3. I have found the following guide below, but I could not find the "MainMenu.nib" file. Is there a way to find this? Or is it possible to remove the Private Window option at all by not doing the below steps? Thank you!
Disabiling for Safari:
The following steps will disable private browsing on all accounts. Taken from: http://guides.macrumors.com/Safari#Disable_Private_Browsing (Note: you must have the Xcode tools installed - can get from App store):
Control or right-click on the Safari icon in Finder and choose Show Package Contents.
In the window that appears, navigate to Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ and double click on the MainMenu.nib file. (I cannot locate this file)
In Interface Builder (From Xcode,) select the window showing the Safari menu bar.
Select the Safari menu, then select the private browsing item and press delete.
Type command-S to save the changes, then close Interface Builder and restart Safari.
This removes the Private Browsing menu option, effectively disabling private browsing.

There were some means of customizing Safari through OnyX, a utility interface tool that
can be used to perform a variety of changes in OS X and a few of them could mess it up.
You can modify hidden features in the OS X by use of OnyX, instead of attempting to
perform some modification by command-line or Terminal; although the Man access
also appears there, too.
•Titanium Software - Home: (see OnyX)
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
A few command-line or terminal methods of changing how OS X works may be ill-advised
to attempt without learning more about how all of that works and also how to understand
the background system that changes when you mess with it. The GUI is the top layer.
Did you look into the Developer settings for Safari to see if that will change your windowed
options, without any external or deeper access to attempts to alter Private window view?
For me, I've not used Safari all that much, and not as default main browser in any of my Macs.
Good luck & happy computing!
