Running resports from new database using discoverer desktop

Hi,
I am new here on the project and dont have much documentation avaialable. I have is just passwords.
I am new to discoverer. I see that there is one historical database names as HIPRD which has historical HR information of audit purpose(just database , no EBS apps). all users who uses HIPRD database they have user_id as database schema.
the way usres uses data from HIPRD database is either through disco desktop or they launch disco viewer. So they login in disco desktop as username/password database name untick oracle application user. once they login they see all folders where they hace access to run reports.
I created new database called TEST using cold backup set of HIPRD and i have upgraded to 11gR1. I have updated my local tnsnames.ora with TEST entry and i am able to connect TEST(11g) which has same data as it is available in HIPRD.
My question is what I have to do on disco side so that usres can run reports from upgraded 11g TEST database using disco desktop or disco viewer the way they are doing for HIPRD.
Please help, I am new to discoverer

please i need help

    You'll need to have access to some sort of database account to use the tool. If you just loaded the tool onto a machine, Disco is not going to be useful - you need to create an end user layer, and business areas.

  • Creating a new database using an MDF file

    My database saves as MDF. I want to know what are the steps to restore or create a new database using a MDF file? I tried to restore as usual but it shows an error. Please help.

    An MDF file isn’t a backup file isn’t the main data file (or master data file depending on who you ask) hence the file extension MDF. You can attach the MDF to the database by right clicking on the databases folder in Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000) or Management
    Studio (SQL 2005) then selecting all tasks and then Attach Database. When you do this you will get an error about the log file missing. This shouldn’t matter as SQL Server will simply create a new log file for you. This will only work if the SQL Server was
    stopped when you copied the MDF file from the old SQL Server. If you copied the file while the SQL Server was running this file probably will not attach either and you will need to get a valid backup of the database.
    Download help tool for sql database - SQL Server Restore Toolbox.

    Hi,
    First Run Application module and confirm whether model project is OK,Cause for the Error is Caused by: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00972: identifier is too long
    check:

  • How to run report from other database

    hi,
    i have an application running on oracle 10g forms (many forms & reports),i want to run a report from other database using a form,it should be run on this application & same report server. so if it is possible so tell me how can i do this ?
    thxs

    If you have another Oracle database you can use the following command to create a link to it from the one you are currently logged into
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK my_db_link
    CONNECT TO other_oracledb_usernane IDENTIFIED BY other_oracledb_password
    USING 'remote_oracledb_name';
    When you issue this command the 'remote_oracledb_name' must exist in your TNSNAMES.ORA file so that the remote database can be 'found'
    If this is still not enough info I would suggest that you talk to someone on your DBA team to help set up the link.

  • FETCH DATA FROM ORACLE DATABASE USING Web Dynpro

    I want to fetch data from ORACLE database using Web Dynpro.How can I do this?

    1) Are you sure that you get no results? It sounds like you are having name resolution issues, which would imply that you should be getting an ORA-00942 error indicating that the table doesn't exist (or that you don't have access to the table). If you are not seeing this error, I would tend to suspect an overzealous exception handler.
    2) What database account owns the table? What database account is your ASP.Net application using to connect? Assuming these two accounts are different, your application would either have to
    - Explicitly prefix the table name with the schema name
    - Have a public or private synonym that maps the table name to the fully qualified identifier schema_name.table_name
    - Issue the command ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = <<schema name>> in each session, in which case all queries in the session would use the specified schema name as the default if no schema name is prefixed.

  • Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP

    I'm trying to set up a database of loan agreements, where users will submit a form through Acrobat and their information will be stored in a mySQL database. Later, they can go back and download the PDF, which will be repopulated with their data in the mySQL db.
    I made the form in Livecycle Designer and submit the information through HTTP POST. I can easily get the information from the form into the database...my only problem is getting that information back out into the PDF.
    What would allow me to write back to the PDF, preferably using PHP? What kind of syntax would that require?
    Thanks!

    Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
    My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
    So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
    which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
    My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
    so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
    But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
    I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
    Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
    Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
    or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??

  • How to change Crystal Reports XI database name at run time from ASP code using ADO

    Dear All,
    I need advises regarding to my problem below
    I have two database in same SQL 2005 SERVER for TEST01 and LIVE01 Environtment, and I've created more than 100 reports with Crystal Reports 11 and call it from ASP classic page.
    The problem is how can I change a database from TEST01 to LIVE01 at the run time from ASP code as I already using TEST01 database on Crystal Reports and I do not want to set a new database location inside crystal for each reports
    Thanks and wait for your reply soon.
    Below is my code, which has no effect to crystal reports although I've change the database from TEST01 to LIVE01:
    <%
    Dim oADOConnection, oRptTable, oADORecordset, sql
    Dim struser, strpwd, strdriver, dblocation, dbname, strConnect
    struser = "sa"
    strpwd = ""     
    strdriver = "{SQL SERVER}" 
    dblocation = "SQL200501"     
    dbname = "LIVE01"    ' Changed from TEST01 to LIVE01
    strConnect = "User Id=" & strUser & ";"
    strConnect = strConnect & "PWD=" & strPwd & ";"
    strConnect = strConnect & "DRIVER=" & StrDriver & ";"
    strConnect = strConnect & "SERVER=" & DBLocation & ";"
    strConnect = strConnect & "DATABASE=" & dbName
    sql="Select * from Employee"
    Set session("oApp") = Server.CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application.11")
    Set session("oRpt") = session("oApp").OpenReport("C:\REPORTS\RPT01.RPT", 1) 'USING TEST01 DATABASE
    session("oRpt").MorePrintEngineErrorMessages = False
    session("oRpt").EnableParameterPrompting = False
    session("oRpt").DiscardSavedData
    Set oADOConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    oADOConnection.Open (strConnect)
    Set oADORecordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
    Set oRptTable = session("oRpt").Database.Tables.Item(1)
    oRptTable.SetDataSource oADORecordset, 3
    session("oRpt").SQLQueryString = CStr(sql)
    session("oRpt").ReadRecords
    %>

    Did you ever find a solution to this problem?  I have the same problem when moving reports from development to Test to Production environments.  If the DBName is not the same the report ignores the name provided at runtime.

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database using Crystal Reports XI R2

    I am using Crystal reports XI R2 and using the Universal Web Connector (connecting to Coghead).  When I put some some of the fields from the database and run Preview I get "Failed to retrieve data from the database." .   Where is this message coming from and how can I track down what the issue is?

    Hi Jamie,
    When you are trying to Browse Data of a field it is not poping up any window menas, it is unable to interact with database and get the data from database.
    Try to create a new report using ODBC with Xtreem Sample Database.  If you get the data in your report without any error then your connector is not working / unable to pull the data into your report.
    You can find the supported platforms document in below link

    Thanks,
