Running Discoverer Administrator

I have Oracle 9iAS release 2 (9.0.2.0) installed and the installation type is Business Intelligence and Forms so I have Discoverer installed. The problem I have is that I don't know how to run Discoverer Administrator.
I follow the PDF document instructions and there I read the following:
From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs | Oracle9i Developer Suite - <HOME_NAME> | Discoverer Administrator to display the Connect to Oracle9i Discoverer Administrator dialog.
When I click Windows Start menu and I choose Programs I don't find Oracle9i Developer Suite. I think it's because I have a Discoverer installation missing.
Anyone knows what I have to install?
Thanks.

Hi,
hopefully this might help...
1) create a new database ( i.e. in Enterprise Manager)
2) create a new database user 'eul_owner' and give them a password and default tablespaces (in the new database) in Enterprise Manager.
3) grant the database roles to the new user (as explained in the Discoverer documentation) i.e. connect + resource privileges to create tables , views, procedures etc
4) attempt to logon to the new database user via SQL*Plus - using the new database's connect string.
5) Once you can logon to the new database via the new user 'eul_owner' - logon to this database account using the Discoverer Administration Tool.
6) Proceed and install a new End User Layer (EUL).
7) ... hopefully this will all work...
I understand that you need to create a database account (or have one created for you) to connect via the Discoverer Administration Tool. As far as I am aware - the installation of the Discoverer software does not create one for you.
Hopefully this helps.

  • Starting Discoverer Administrator

    hi
    I am a starting to use OAS on SUSE 10 SP2. I have installed it. The database and OAS metadata repository database is running perfectly, Now, I need to run Discoverer Administrator to create End User Layer and Business Areas.
    I am trying $OH/discoverer/discwb.sh , but it is not opening. Is it the right way to start Discoverer Administrator. If yes, then why is it not opening in my case?
    If no, please, tell me the correct way, so that I may proceed.
    A second question, when the Discoverer Administrator will start I have to enter the user name and password. Which username and password is it? Either a username and password of the Database user or the metadata repository?
    Your help will highly appreciated.
    regards
    RF

    hi
    thanks for reply, but I think it is already installed. I can see the $ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/discwb.sh
    discwb.sh
    is it what your talking about, or i have to install it separately?
    regards

  • Importing entire EUL using Discoverer Administrator 10g

    I have exported an entire EUL from a dev instance into .eex file using Discoverer Admin(Which took around 4hrs), I would like to import the entire EUL in another instance using the import funcitonality of the admin. But the process ended in a connection time out error after running for 99%(took 5hrs) and nothing got imported. The second instance already has another EUL, I want this imported EUL to be a seperate EUL.
    Is there any other way to run the import from the Linux machine where the disco is installed.
    Thanks,
    Senthil

    Hi,
    No, you cannot run Discoverer Administrator on Linux, it is a windows program. You could try using the eulapi java utility to import the .eex file.
    You probably got this error because Disco Administrator ran out of memory on the windows PC. You could try increasing the PC memory.

  • How to get the Report Names which use a Folder in Discoverer Administrator?

    Hello All,
    How could I get which Reports in discoverer Desktop are using a particular folder in Discoverer Administrator?
    Or
    How to know which Discoverer Desktop Reports are being derived from a folder in Discoverer Administrator?
    We have Oracle 9i DS installed and have a Custom Folder Created in the Administrator, and want to know exactly which Reports/Workbooks are using that folder?
    Thanks in advance :)

    Well Abhijit,
    The eul workbooks have been created by oracle specifically to analyze your eul and make your work easier!. So, I prefer this way to view the information about my eul in a report format in the desktop. Try it! you may like it.
    If you want you can follow these steps:
    Run the script called eul5.sql located in <discoverer_installation_path>\discoverer\util in the user who own the eul in the database.
    Then import the eul5.eex file located at <discoverer_installation_path>\discoverer\ in the discoverer administrator.
    Then login into desktop and open the reports in the database, you can see a report called[b] EUL Workbook Management. Open that and goto the sheet named Workbook Dependency - Folders & Items Lookup. I think it the last but one worksheet in that workbook.
    Hope it helps you!

  • Creation of a Custom Folder in Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition

    Hi
    Could anybody help me in solving this problem while creating a Custom Folder in Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition ?
    My Requirement is :
    I Connect to EUL_US/EUL_US@<HOST_STRING> under Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition.
    I selected a Pre-Defined Business Area Eg. General Ledger
    There i created a Custom Folder by Name Test Custom Folder
    The Query which i used in my Custom Folder is
    SELECT NAME FROM GL.GL_JE_BATCHES
    When i Used this Query it says Table or view does not exist.
    The Folder is getting created but without a Query.
    I am not able to preceed further.
    Any Help would be appreciated
    Regards
    Nakul Venkataraman

    Hi Nakul, you may be running into a problem with the sql for your custom folder. For some reason Discoverer Admin will allow you to create a custom folder with sql, but then if you change it and it has any advanced sql, i.e. grouping sets, analytic functions etc., you probably receive an error.
    An option is to create a view using the same sql and create a folder from the database using this view.
    Hope this helps.

  • Refresh EUL in Oracle Discoverer Administrator using command line

    Hi there! I wonder if there is a way of refreshing the EUL business folders of Discoverer Administrator using a command line, so that it could be done through a batch file process.
    Many thanks in advance

    What do you mean by refreshing the EUL business folders? The definitions of the EUL are updated whenever a workbook/worksheet/business area/hierarchy/ any other object inside the EUL is changed/added/deleted. Also, the contents of your EUL are updated whenever summaries are refreshed (either manually or on a schedule), or when scheduled workbooks run and their contents stored inside the EUL.
    Thanks

  • Oracle Discoverer Administrator 'OUT OF MEMORY'

    Hi ,
    I'm trying to include a case statement in the custom folder based on a query.when I include the case statement in the SQL query and click Validate SQL button i get error 'out of memory'.
    can anyone plz help me with this.
    thanks

    Hi
    The Out of Memory is not 100% related to the amount of memory you have on your machine. There is an internal cache that it is working with and this is controlled from within your system registry. These settings can be found in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\Oracle\Discoverer 10\Application and they are called MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem and these are typically set to the amount of memory on your PC or even higher where 512000000 equates to 500 MB. I have rarely seen making a change to these have any impact but you can always try.
    As a test, try using the Admin command line interface to do what you want. I have seen exports, as mentioned by Russ, fail using the application but work just fine when called from the command line.
    You seem to be saying when you run the query yet in your question you say running in Discoverer Administrator. You cannot run a query in Administrator so are you saying that you get this issue when running the query in Desktop or in Plus? For Desktop you can try altering the MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem, whereas for Plus these will have to be changed in the pref.txt for the application server.
    You can also try increang

  • Installation Trouble with Oracle BI Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Administrator 11.1.1.3.0

    Hi All,
    I'm having installing this software on my Window's 8.1 64-bit machine. I'm going to Disk1 > Install > Win64 > setup.exe. The Oracle Universal Installer shows up, passes the swap space and monitor checks, and stays on "Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\Users etc.... Please wait ..." for a few seconds. It then promptly closes and does absolutely nothing. I've tried the setup.exe from the Win32 bit folder, and that opens perfectly fine (unfortunately mines 64-bit). I've tried running as Administrator, in compatibility mode (all of them), and even updated Java. Does anyone know of a solution?
    Also, I have a 32-bit Windows XP virtual machine installed, and when I tried it there, I encountered the same problem. This time with the 32-bit setup.exe.
    Thanks,
    Neville

  • Firefox only opens when a I run as administrator, crash report comes up when I click on icon and does not open. Help

    "when i started my computer today for the first time I clicked on the firefox icon and the crash report came up. I shut down normally last night. I clicked on start firefox multiple times and the crash report kept coming up. I restarted my computer same result. I then tried run as admininstrator and it loaded normally. Now the only way I can run firefox is if I run as administrator. I tried a new profile and that did not work. Same result.

    You say click on a file but your do mean you are double clicking to open the file, right?

  • How do you get to the DOS prompt so that you can type in the info to help get into itunes store???  One post said search cmd, right click, run as administrator but where is the search cmd??

    Have been struggling for days trying to get into the itunes store.  Have contacted support with no help.  I have been reading how some have typed something into a DOS prompt and have resolved their issues.  One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?  There was also a post about typing something into the DOS prompt....how do I get to this?  Can someone please help??? SOOOOO FRUSTRATING.  Thanks much...Carrie (Mike's wife:))

    One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?

  • Bridge CS6 Insists on Running as Administrator - PC

    Everything worked so well in CS5 Extended......
    Windows 7 Pro 64 bit - MSI 990FXA-GD80 Motherboard - AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU - nVideo GTX550ti Video
    Okay, I have CS6 running on an SSD.  Initially with CS6 Beta I found I had to run as Administrator.  I eventually discovered how to run as a user by going into Preferences / Performance and setting my scratch disk to my hard drive.
    So now I have the CS6 release.  I deleted CS6 Beta as instructed and followed directions for the install.  CS6 works fine except for the bugs that I reported in the beta forum .  My problem is now that Bridge insists on running as Administrator.  If I try and run it as a user, it comes up and quits immediately.  It doesn't make a wisp of difference where I set my Cache file, SSD or hard drive.  I can even deal with that, however now I can't start Bridge from Photoshop!  I click on File / Browse in Bridge and nothing happens.  If I start Bridge then go to Photoshop and click on File / Browse in Bridge, still nothing happens.  I have to manually switch to the Bridge window.
    Help!!
    Gerry

    I think the point of trying to help people find workarounds is that no one here save for the Adobe folks know when they're likely to release that fix.

    it seems the CS6 Beta was released totally as a marketing ploy and not at all to allow us to work with it and report bugs.
    When was the Photoshop CS6 beta first made available?  The date I recall is March 22, 2012, and that software was actually built from sources on March 5, near as I can tell.
    For reference, note the build dates on the files installed as part of the Photoshop CS6 release:
    Software preparation for release is normally a pipeline, with engineers working on code, build teams building code into executables and installers, system testers testing builds, beta testers testing potential releases, and customers downloading released code all simultaneously.
    I suspect Adobe was expecting to be able to release the Photoshop CS6 they already had built by the time the beta test started, unless any real "show stopper" bugs were found.  Bottom line I think is that we can assume none of the customer-reported bugs during the public beta were gauged "show stoppers".  I'm pretty sure not everyone sees the crash you're seeing.
    There's always pressure to get a release out, even if it's not perfect, as long as some customers can derive value from it...  Proceeds from sales can keep the lights on at the factory while the first update is prepared.
    We only hope that update makes everything better without making anything worse.

  • Why does Photoshop CS5 require me to run as Administrator?

    I just installed a fresh copy of CS5 64 bit Extended Student and Teacher edition obtained direct from Adobe.
    It installed fine and for the first ten or so times I used it it started without any difficulty.  This morning it is refusing to start with an error message "could not open scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access priveliges'.
    (The first thing this morning it installed some updates - don't know if that has a bearing on the problem)
    I CAN start it if I right click and 'run as administrator', but then the UAC dialog box comes up asking me to allow changes to my computer.
    I have only on account, and it is an administrator.
    I installed CS5 while logged in as administrator
    I am logged in as administrator when I try to run it
    If I look at the shortcut, it appears I have full access.
    I changed my scratch disk location so it is not on my boot drive.
    I believe I have the latest updates
    I am running WIndows 7 64 bit, and the CS5 install was the 64 bit version.
    While this may be a WIndows 7 issue, I don't understand why, if I am logged in as administrator CS5 won't start without the UAC nag dialog box. Is is something to do with it being the student edition?
    Thanks in advance,
    Henry

    Welcome to the joy of Windows UAC.
    Even though you are logged-on using an account in the Administrators group, you are not normally running applications as an Administrator.
    Therefore, if your permissions aren't set up properly to allow read-write access to the root folder on your scratch drive, Photoshop will not be able to access that folder.
