Renaming a discoverer report

Using Discoverer Plus, we can save the queries with a new name and updated description, but only as a separate query. Which means we would need to reshare with each responsibility.
Can somebody advice a way to simply rename the existing query, not as a separate query?
Thanks

I will specify my question clearly.
Using Discoverer Plus, we can do saveAs for the reports with a new name and updated description, but only as a separate report. Which means we would need to reshare with each responsibility again for that report.
Can somebody advice a way to simply rename the existing report, not as a separate report so that i don't have to again share the report with each responsibility.?

Deleting Discoverer report from Admin

Hi,
We have exported a discoverer report using Admin from a database D1.
Then imported that report using admin in another database D2.
But i couldn't see the report in the desktop of database D2....don't know why....
Can anybody sugggest a way to delete this report from Admin of database D2 ?
Thank you

Thanks for the reply.
Actually we were not able to see the report in the desktop though we tried in different ways.
So we did the following to delete the report from Admin using command prompt as follows
dis4adm.exe /connect <eulowner>/<eulowner password>@<database> /delete /workbook "<workbook name>"
where "<workbook name>" is either "EUL Data Definition" or "Query Statistics".

Rename users and transfer Discoverer reports

I hope someone can help. We are running Discoverer 10g with a database EUL. The reports have been operational for several years and users have edited and saved their own versions of standard reports. However it has been decided that a large number of these users (~100) should have their accounts renamed to bring them in line with other corporate usernames. User access to their reports needs to be preserved so that their new accounts look like their old (other than account name / password). These users are Viewer only users so they cannot share reports.
Does any one know of an alternative way of doing this other than the labour intensive way of: creating a new set of Discoverer users (in the new format), logging into each old account in Desktop and sharing all the reports to the equivalent new user. Then repeating this for all 100 users? Please help save my sanity.
I don't suppose that there is a simple solution of renaming Discoverer users.
But I am hoping that maybe the Desktop admin command line (which I am not very familar with) may be of some help.
Or possibly the more scary option of tinkering with the EUL tables on the EUL owning schema.
Any advise welcome.

Hi,
There is no way to rename database users created with a CREATE USER command. You would have to use a database import and export and remap the schema. However, if you have if you have two database users, USERA and USERB where USERA is a Discoverer user who as saved Discoverer reports in the database, then you can move the reports from USERA to USERB by updating the EUL.
Assuming that USERB has not used Discoverer then only USERA will have a record in the EUL5_EUL_USERS table. You can update the table change EU_USERNAME from USERA to USERB so that USERB has a user record in the EUL. USERB will then have access to USERA's workbooks. The workbooks are all held in the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table, the owner of the workbook is found using a lookup in EUL5_EUL_USERS table.

Open Pages from Discoverer Report

Hi,
Is there a way to invoke a webpage or even better, an oracle function (that links to forms or self-service) from a discoverer report row ?
for example, I want a report for employees where the person looking at the report will click on the employee name and is taken straight to the person details page for that employee.
Regards.

Hi,
You can create a link to a form function using fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url. You can create a calculation either in a view or using a calculated item in the EUL (you will have to map the get_run_function_url in the EUL to do this). You then set the content type property of the EUL item to FILE so that when the item is selected in the workbook it appears as a hyperlink.
Most forms in apps except parameters so that you can pass the employee id to the form and the form will open up with the employee record. For example, if you are using a seed HR person form you create a calculation,
fnd_run_function.get_run_function_url(3494      -- PERWSHRG-404
                                     ,800       -- HR
                                     ,fnd_global.RESP_ID     -- caller's responsibility
                                     ,0        -- Business Group
                                     ,         -- Parameters
     'P_PERSON_ID='||TO_CHAR(person_id, 'fm9999999999999')||
     ' P_EFFECTIVE_DATE='||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD'))Rod West

How to submit a concurrent request from Discoverer report.

I would like to know If any one has tried submitting a concurrent request from Discoverer Report?_
This is no stupid question, but our team here finally decided with a solution to our long pending issues with few of the discoverer report. To Proceed further, we would like to know, how to submit a concurrent request from Discoverer report?
We are looking for calling a package from the Disco admin by passing the parameters from the disco to the 6i report.
All help us in this regards are much appreciated.
Kindly help us in the same!
Thanks
Arun

Thanks Rod for confirming the same.
I will be trying the same today and will let you know if I succeed in doing it.
If I can share the actual requirement with you, it goes like this.
"I will be triggering the Oracle 6i standard AP Trail balance report through the Disco report. The standard report will be inserting the required data to one of my custom table. Once the concurrent program completes normal, my custom table will be having the required data to create the workbook specific to the current run of the concurrent program.
The one problem which I think could happen is, How can I make my disco report to wait till the standard program to complete in normal so that my disco report can be generated with the data from custom table.
Will the above requirement is possible If I follow the way you mention in the PDF or Could you suggest a better way for achieving the same.
In short, my requirement is: The custom table(say XX_TABLE) will be populated with data when the standard 6i report is run and the disco admin will be making of the custom table (XX_TABLE) to generate the report.
Please advice.
Thanks
Arun

Unable to run discoverer report from command prompt

Hi,
I'm trying to run the discoverer report from command prompt and i need to schedule the same.
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters?
If i don't pass the optional parameters, the parameter screen is getting pop-up? How to skip optional parameters?
Also, how to pass the data ranges (format for date parameters) ?
I'm using the below command in command prompt:
cd/d E:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin
dis51usr /connect username/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" 40351 /parameter "From Date" "01-JAN-2007" /parameter "To Date" "28-FEB-2007" /parameter "Observation Status" C /parameter "Observation Name" "Abdominal Girth" /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStatusOutput11"
Any one please reply me. Its very urgent.
Regards,
Sreedhar

Hi,
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters? You should be able to use a comma separated list e.g.
/parameter "Observation Name" "'Abdominal Girth','Abdominal Girth2'"
How to skip optional parameters?I don't think you can. You have to supply all parameters and then decode out the parameters you don't need in the workbook.
how to pass the data ranges You cannot pass a date range. You can pass a start and end parameters. The default format for the date parameters is DD-MON-YYYY but this can change depending on the NLS settings and format of the data item.

Launching a Discoverer report from jsp page

Hi
I have a discoverer workbook created using BI Discoverer (for relational). I want to accept some parameters for this workbook from a jsp page, which will also have a "View report" button. This button when pressed should open up the Discoverer workbook and all the parameters from the jsp should be passed to the workbook.
Is it possible? If yes, any details on it?
We do the same thing successfully to launch Oracle Reports from jsps, we simply build the url in the jsp, and from jsp we submit it to a new window, and it opens up the report. Similar functionality we are looking to launch Discoverer reports.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Shalu

You can open the workbook with URL parameters with Discoverer Viewer much like you would Oracle Reports. Setting anything form the username, password, workbook name, worksheet, and parameters. All the information can be found in the following document:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/bi.1012/b13918/urlstart.htm
The specific question your asking is addressed under 13.5.2 Example 2. Let me know if you have any issues

Discoverer reports failing after import from another instance

I've migrated Discoverer reports using export/import option.After opening reports in new instance,I'm getting the following error for some reports :
Can not join tables used in the work book Item dependency not found in the EUL,Attempt to open workbook failed?
I checked disco administrator for these reports and all these reports are based on custom folders.These custom folders are based on query and they are not joined with any other folders.
Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi Kiran
Try re-importing and matching on Names and see if that helps.
Having End User Layer metadata out of sync and maintained in more than one place is a recipe for disaster. The best way to develop Discoverer metadata is to have a three-stage environment using Development, Test and Production.
You should never add new Production metadata without migrating from Test which in turn is migrated from Development. Adding new metadata in Production will cause the unique IDs to be updated. The next time you migrate from Test, checking the box to match on identifiers will cause problems. Of course if you also take the time to make sure than even identifiers are unique then you will not have any issues.
Best wishes

Discoverer report returns no data from a certain time

Using Discoverer 10g,a discoverer report which returned data normally last month gets to return no data now.
We have four same environments, and two of them has this problem, two is OK.
And the SQL of the discoverer of the four environments are the same.
We have no any changment of this discoverer and related EUL for more than one year....
How should we investigate into this issue.
For example ,a point we should notice or something...
Could somebody give us a suggestion?
Thank you.

Thanks for your qiuck reply.
1.empty table that is joined in the query.The four environments has almost the same data,it is not the cause.
2.security issue with the data, maybe the security definitions are different from one environment to another.we are now invesgate into this cause.
and there is a sql of the discoverer's EUL which shows no data in a enviroment(in this enviroment discoverer report gets no data), but in another enviroment data can show.
the sql is as following.

Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
Regards,
Brajesh

Pretty hard to answer a question like this. Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out.

Discoverer Report opened from Portal does not show correct data

Hi,
When I try to open a Discoverer report from a portal that I created, it shows stale data but when I click on "Analyze", it shows all the data correctly.
Does anyone know what the reason could be for this?
Thank you,
Santoshi

I assume you used the Discoverer Portlet Provider. A discoverer portlet is never live data. When you define the portlet you specify how often to 'refresh' the data. If you skipped this step, then you just get the data as-of when you created the portlet.
Generally you specify the refresh time to be sometime after your usual database load completes.

How to open a defult workbook from Discoverer Plus

Hi all,
Is it possible in Discoverer Plus for a user to open a pre defined worksheet in a workbook when he logs in without having to select the workbook and then select the worksheet?
Please advise how to achive this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all.
Yjk

Hi Yjk
This is possible but you will have to alter the URL call to do it and add the workbook name to the end of the URL.
You can use either the names of workbooks and worksheet or unique IDs of workbooks and worksheets. Using unique IDs is easier and helps avoid encoding problems with long names. Unique IDs are language independent. The following are the URL parameters to use while working with workbooks and worksheets.
Discoverer Plus Relational:
Workbooks:
opendbid=<workbook ID>
opendbname=<workbook name>
Worksheets:
sheetid=<worksheet ID>
sheet=<worksheet name>
Discoverer Viewer:
Workbook:
wbk=<workbook ID>
wb=<workbook name>
Worksheet:
wsk=<worksheet ID>
ws=<worksheet name>
Discoverer OLAP:
Workbooks:
workbookname=<workbookname>
Worksheets:
sheet=<worksheet name>
Note: Discoverer Plus OLAP uses only workbook and worksheet names.
Examples below:
How to Find the Unique IDs of Workbooks and Worksheets
To find the unique ID of a workbook, use thie workflow:
1. Launch the Open Workbook from Database wizard
2. Right-click the workbook name
3. Select Properties.
The value of the Identifier field indicates the unique ID of the workbook.
Alternatively, when the workbook is open, select File | Workbook Properties.
To find the unique ID of a worksheet, use this workflow:
1. With the worksheet open, select Edit | Worksheet Properties
2. The Worksheet Properties dialog box opens.
3. Click the General tab.
The value of the Identifier field indicates the unique ID of the worksheet.
The following URL starts Discoverer Viewer and opens a worksheet with the unique ID "156", which is present in the workbook whose unique ID is "MONTHLY_SALES". The connection ID used is "cf_a101".
http://<machine.domain>:<port>/discoverer/viewer?cn=cf_a101&wbk=MONTHLY_SALES&wsk=156
If the connection that is used here is a private connection, the user will be prompted for the password.
In Plus, the same command is:
http://<machine.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_a101&opendbname=MONTHLY_SALES&sheet=156
Does this help?
Regards
Michael
