Serious issue in discoverer viewer

Dear all,
I have serious issue with discoverer viewer 9.0.2.53 version.
I am in need of displaying lengthy worksheet in discoverer viewer,i am using crosstab format.
my client wants to compare the datapoint value of worksheet with leftside drillup/down and top drill up/down values.
I want the assumption of "display similar to desktop display of worksheet"..is it possible to have same type of format or alternative one by customizing viewer?
Plz help me out of this..if viewer does not support this issue i think..its not best suited for report making..
plz somebody confirm about this issue..its very urgent to proceed further...
regards
chandra

Already checked that. I don't think the problem is color profile related.
Besides, when I reset the viewer as described above the colors look perfectly fine.

  • Strane Issue with Discoverer Viewer

    Hi All
    I Created a report in doscoverer plus (OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.2)). I have a page item LOCATION and in the drop down box i have four locations LOCATION 1,LOCATION 2,LOCATION 3,LOCATION 4. In discoverer plus the page items are working just fine, whenever i select a location from the page item it gives me the report based on my selection. The problem is when i look at the report in Discoverer Viewer and try to select a different location (other than the default which is LOCATION 1), for some reason it doessn't select a different location but just shows the default. Once i logout and log back in into the viewer it works fine again. Can anyone please tell me whats causing this?
    Thanks

  • Discoverer Viewer 10.1.2.55.26 PDF Printing Issue

    Hope someone can help with this as i am at a bit of a dead end as i have trawled google looking for the same issue but no one seems to report this.
    Using Discoverer Viewer i generate my report and then click the Printable Page link, then click the Printable PDF button, the PDF appears to get generated but when i click on the PDF doc then Adobe reader displays the message "The File is damaged and could not be repaired. Loca\EWHg7{w#h5d" When i go onto the app server and browse to the "$ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_BI_Forms\applications\discoverer\discoverer\WEB-INF\export_output" i can see the generated PDF file but it shows as a 4kb file and if i try to open it i get the same message about it being damaged.
    I have another machine that does produce the file correctly, but it is the only machine that does so. It is still a win 7 machine using IE9 the only difference being that i have logged onto the machine as a different user. I though this may somehow be a user issue ? but why would my domain authentication account have any impact on the PDF process in disco viewer? not using single sign on, i am logging into discoverer viewer as the same user each time.
    Any help or ideas would be greately appreciated as this is very frustraiting.
    Thanks in advance

    Michael,
    Our server guy confirms that Version 6 Update 24 is what we have on the servers. He has been trying to solve this issue for two months with no real success. I just logged into Discoverer and did not see the errors. It's not every time a user logs in, but it's often enough to be quite a bit of trouble.
    Another issue that I see before me (literally on my screen) is when the dialogue box is up to open an existing workbook and the little blue text boxes, sometimes called "hints", pops up with the name of the workbook and it's owner, if the mouse pointer is not moved right away then that little blue box stays on the screen in that spot and does not move or erase. It will stay there until you exit Discoverer and exit from all Internet Explorer windows. When I minimize all windows, the blue text box is still in that spot on the screen now on my windows background.
    This blue box error has bugged some of my users but at least a user can move the screen around it. The other error is more serious because it keeps a user from getting their reports.
    Thanks for your help,
    Mike

  • Discoverer Viewer Issue - IE7 - Parameter Popup Fails (Oracle JS issue?)

    OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
    I have created a report that has several parameters, each of which can be entered directly or by clicking a button to bring up a parameter selection popup. Each parameter popup displays an associated LOV.
    This works great in Discoverer Plus. It also works well in the HTML-based Discoverer Viewer using IE6. It does not, however, work in IE7.
    What happens:
    When using IE7 with Discoverer Viewer, I access a report with parameters and then click on the "flashlight" icon to the right of a parameter field to bring up the parameter popup. IE7 then:
    - Changes the cursor to an hourglass
    - Displays the following in the status bar: "Done, but with errors on page."
    - Stops doing anything else, leaving the cursor as an hourglass
    - Popup never shows up
    I assume that the cursor is stuck as an hourglass since the flashlight button must have a JavaScript "onClick" handler that executes a function to change the cursor prior to opening the new child window with the parameter LOV...and the cursor gets stuck when the JavaScript routine encounters an error. The cursor isn't my issue, but it is also annoying since my users will assume that the browser is doing something...and it is not.
    Regardless, if you click the status bar message, it displays the following JavaScript error:
    Line: 3609
    Char: 1
    Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
    Code: 0
    Oddly enough, if you then ignore the situation and click the "Go" button to run the report (using the cursor stuck as an hourglass), the report runs and as soon as it completes, the popup for the parameter THEN appears.
    As I said, the issue is with IE7 only. It works fine in IE6...and I don't have the popup blocker enabled in IE7.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    Steve

    Hi
    Yes' you're right, the compatibility is for IE8 to IE7 and it does work very well - which I know is a red herring.
    I'll keep looking through my notes.
    From all of my notes, IE7 is supposed to work just fine with 10.1.2.3 (your version). I've been using IE7 for quote some time and I've never seen a JS error coming up in Viewer - Plus yes and many times.
    Some things I would try at this stage are:
    1. Delete your Java cache
    2. Make sure no popups are blocked
    3. Make sure cookies are enabled
    4. Try Mozilla and see if you get the same issue - will indicate if a machine issue or browser issue
    Best wishes

  • Discoverer viewer -- export to pdf doesn't retain page settings.

    Hi,
    The report output in discoverer viewer is much different from that of plus. I am concerned abt the report headers. In discoverer plus, the headers are left, center and right aligned.
    But in viewer, every thing is aligned center. How can I get the report o/p (same as that of plus) in viewer??
    Thanks

  • Discoverer Viewer/Plus does not work with Custom EUL owned by APPS user

    I am facing a unique issue with one of my customers. They have a custom EUL named XX_EUL_US and this does not allow connecting through discoverer viewer or discoverer plus.
    I have worked with custom EULS before at other customers and this was never the case. I am being told that this issue is happening as the EUL owner is APPS instead of some other user. Is this the case? Can discoverer viewer not be used with EULs owned by apps user?
    Please not that the Default EUL in ICX profiles is set to this EUL and no other EUL profiles are set.
    Appreciate any thoughts on this.

    Hi,
    I am not sure what you mean when you say you have a "custom EUL named XX_EUL_US". The EUL table should be created in a schema named XX_EUL_US. This will then be the EUL owner. You will then need to connect to Discoverer Administrator as the EUL owner and grant privileges to Apps users and/or responsibilities.
    The user should then be able to connect to Discoverer Plus/View using their apps username, responsibility and password.
    To be able to connect directly from an apps menu you need to have the ICX parameters set correctly. The ICX: Discoverer Default End User Layer Schema Prefix should be set to XX_EUL (without the _US). The ICX: Discoverer End User Layer Language Override should be set to US or not set at all.

  • No data found in the discoverer Viewer from Apps responsabiltiy

    Hi
    We have built a new responsibility for the discoverer reports, that is we directly access the discoverer viewer from the separate responsibility,all the report that shared with the users can be viewed from this responsibility,
    but when the user tries to run the report it is saying no data found.but for example if the user is trying to run the hrms report from this discoverer reasonability he get no data found but if we attach the function to the HRMS manager menu and try to access the report from the HRMS manager responsabilty we are able to get the data.
    We did the same setup in dev and test.in dev it is working very fine but in test we are not able to see the records in the report if we try to access.
    Please advice
    thanks
    Regards
    Ramesh Kumar S

    Hi,
    I'm not 100% familiar with HR security, but sounds like profile option setup related to security - perhaps Business Group or Initialization SQL Statement - Oracle / Custom? Check the profile options set for the HRMS Manager responsibility and setup the same for your new responsibility.
    PS. Similar sort of thing exists in General Ledger related to security. See:
    GL security issue in discoverer..

  • Workbook works fine in discoverer plus but shows error in discoverer viewer

    Hi,
    I have some issues with the parameter of a report.
    one of the parameters is
    mgr_id (eg: 1,2,3) -- from database table.
    manager names are not available in the database but they are known to users like
    1 - david
    2 - alan chris
    3 - peter
    so the requirement is
    (i) the input parameter wud be entered as 1 or 2 or 3 or null ( or in multiple combination or all).
    But the report shud have parameters in the header of the report.
    for eg: if the input parameter is mgr_id = '1' then the report shud have manager name: 'david' in the header.
    if the input is mgr_id = '1',' 2', '3' then on the report header, it shud display as manager name: 'david','alan chris','peter'
    (ii) the default value of mgr_id shud be 'ALL'. if the user enters mgr_id as 'ALL' then it shud take all the values of mgr_id and pull all the values of mgr_id (like 1,2,3)
    and the report header shud display as department name: 'ALL'
    i have developed a custom query where i used,
    select dept_id, decode(mgr.mgr_id,'1','david','2','alan chris','3','peter') as mgr_name, ..... etc.
    in discoverer admin,
    I have created LOVs (item classes) for mgr_name.
    after that going to properties of mgr_name, i have selected mgr_id as indexed item.
    and in the report i have created parameter dept based on mgr_name and selected the option -- allow to select both indexes and values.
    and in the default value i mentioned 'ALL'.
    after that i changed the condition as
    ((mgr_name = :manager name) OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name,'ALL','%')))
    and in the header, i used &department name --- then it displays correctly.
    but the problem is ---
    the report works fine in plus. the problem is only when parameter value is 'ALL'
    when i run the report from discoverer viewer for the very first time (after logging in), the report works fine with correct data.
    but when i run the same report second time with parameter value 'ALL', it gives an error ---
    Invalid value "''" for parameter "department name"
    i dont understand, why it works for first time and doesn't afterwards. If i logout and login again, it works fine in viewer.
    am i doing anything wrong in conditions or declaring the parameters?
    I came to know that, the very first time, when we enter 'ALL' it is taking '%' but when we run for the second time, it is taking NULL. since NULL isn't there in mgr_id or mgr_name, it is throwing that error.
    How do i fix this error?
    Thanks

    Hi Puppethead,
    I have tried with your suggestions.
    the following condition -- did not work
    ( (mgr_name = :manager name)
    OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name, 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
    but for the other condition ---
    ( (mgr_name = :manager name)
    OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(nvl(:manager name, 'ALL'), 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
    is wrong because, :manager name cud be null, when it is null, it takes 'ALL' i.e. '%' which shud not be the case.
    if the user enters null, it has to display records with null only but with the above condition it takes '%'
    The main issue which i dont understand is, the report works fine for the first time. for the second time, the report takes null values . why is it taking null values for the second time.
    Thanks

  • URGENT!! Drill Down Error with Character Set non-ascii on Discoverer Viewer

    Hi,
    We have an error in a Drill down. It comes up when the Discoverer Viewer tries to process data that contains special character (non-ascii) in a query's filter. The same report that does not perform well with special characters, does perform well if the data don’t contains special characters, so it seems to be an issue processing non-ascii chars in this Discoverer Viewer instance.
    Ex. FIELD_NAME = 'öÜæäé (This filter is contained in a query that this getting an error msg="We're sorry, the server encountered an unexpected condition" ).
    It might be possible that there are some problems with the Discoverer charset ?

  • Security issues for Discoverer 10g apps 12i

    gurus,
    I have couple of things to get it done at client.
    We are on Oracle Apps rel 12i with dicoverer 10g.
    Did anyone setup MOAC to be enabled and operational in business areas?
    Setting up secure responsibilities in discoverer for MOAC?
    Any setup needs to be done for custom report security in discoverer ?
    thx

    Hi,
    I did setup new MOAC security profiles and assigned multiple organizations to that profile for testing purpose.
    After this, I did run concurrent program "Security List Maintennce" etc...
    Tested Upding profile at user level or responsibility level.
    On APPS side fine.
    I need the some basic steps on setup of security issues for discoverer side.
    1) Business areas (any security steps need to be followed in order to access data for single or multi-org)
    2) Custom Reports ( any security setup or any moac security profile setting against responsibilty for accessing single or multi-org data)
    Since we dont have default operating unit parameter as specified in the concurrent program, how do you restrict data?
    3) Reconciling security approach r12 with discoverer (any steps need to be followed here after r12 configuration with security issues)
    4) Custom Views ( any steps to be followed for single or multi-org data as security aspect)
    Looking for info on these setups.
    Thx

  • Accessing discoverer viewer over internet

    URL's host name is changed when i am clicking to expand report link for work sheet selection. I have installed Oracle 10g AS and discoverer and trying to access work sheets over internet using discoverer viewer.

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response. I did not changed fully qualified domain name. I am trying to access the discoverer viewer from outside of our LAN through internet. I have configured firewall to allow HTTP trafic to exposed server and mapped public IP and port to local discoverer server (port forwarding) to route discoverer viewer requests to discoverer server. Discover server is in our local domain with local IP address. I am able to view the viewer login and Worksheet list page with public IP in discoverer URL. When i am clicking to expand worksheet in worksheet list page, viewer changes the IP address part of URL to local host name. This local host name is not resolved outside and IE shows the 'Page Not Found' error. Pl suggest the way to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,

  • Discoverer Viewer - Drill down option

    Dear all
    I created a report in discoverer desktop, with drill down option for financial information.It works fine in Disco Desktop. All the drill down options are working fine as well. But the same report when run in disco viewer, it has got an option for drilling down further, then another option for collapse(with the blue button) - to view the summary value.
    When the collapse option is chosen, the blue color button disappears in Viewer and wouldnt know how to drill down back without reloging into the application.
    Could you please help me how to solve this problem, as I need to share this report with users who has viewer access only?We are using 9i at the moment.
    Thanks.

    Hi Russ
    I have heard folks having awful issues with IE 7. It seems to mess up everything Oracle. Sounds like Oracle and Microsoft have some hurdles to cross. For now I would advise everyone to either stay on IE 6 or use another browswer like Firefox.
    To answer the specific question posted here, it is possible that the user has hit one of the well known Discoverer bugs wherein Discoverer Viewer cannot properly execute workbooks created in Desktop. There are fixes and one-off patches available for this in MetaLink but these patches all require a password to download them. I would advise the raising of a service request and in the request spefically ask if there is a one-off patch that will fix this.
    Best wishes for now
