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?

Discoverer Administrator 11.1.1.3.0 EUL Export Doesn't Export All Functions

Using Discoverer Administrator 11.1.3.0 against an Apps EUL. Logged in with an Apps User ID with administrator privileges. When I export the EUL using File | Export "The entire End User Layer", I am shown all of the objects that will be exported. Everything is listed, including all of the registered functions.
However, when the export completes and I am shown a list of the objects exported, the only registered function shown as being exported is END_OF_TIME. Checking the export file verifies that this indeed is the only function definition that was exported.
If I start the export again -- logged in as the same user -- and choose "Selected objects in the End User Layer" , choose "Functions", and select all of the registered functions, they ARE all exported.
Why is this happening?

Try
https://hostname:8090/discoverer/viewer
https://hostname:8090/discoverer/plus

What option to select to install "Discoverer Administrator"

Hi, I installed Infrastructure 10g. Then I installed Business Intelligence and selected two options, discoverer and report services. Now, I cannot have "Discoverer Administrator" option in the Start Menu. I have Plus and Viewer working.
Pls tell me which option I need to select in order to have "Discoverer Administrator" in My PC.
Or tell me what I should keep in mind while installation so that I can have "Discoverer Administrator".

Hello
You need to download and install Discoverer 10g Developer Suite in order to use the Admin edition. So far you have only installed the web components.
Click here for the download page:

and pick the version you need.

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.

Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Update firefox, it asked me to update flash, I tried to update flash but it said I had to close firefox. A box came up and said the Flash install would continue when I closed firefox. I closed all firefox windows and no update of flash occurred. I tried relaunching firefox but got the "Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." message. I rebooted the system, no improvement. I tried to run firefox as administrator and got the same message. Either I find a fix or I won't be able to use firefox and will have to go back to ie.

-> press '''CTRL''' + '''SHIFT''' + '''ESC''' to Open Task Manager -> Processes tab -> right-click '''firefox.exe''' and click '''End Process Tree''' -> close Task Manager

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.
Brent.

What privileges should be grant to Discoverer Administrator

Hello,
We are going to install Discoverer 4i to access our 10g database. What privileges do I need to grant to the Discoverer Administrator? Thank you.

Hi,
At the very least the Discoverer Administrator should have Administration privileges with Format Business Area, Create/Edit Business Area and Set Privilege. This can be given directly to the user or through a role/responsibility.
Hope that 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

This is very urgent... Please reply.
Thanks in advance for your time and answers.

Discoverer Administrator is a client side tool, you must install it on your machine or even you can install discoverer administrator in your server but you must connect through a connection string which you must enter in your tnsnames

Starting Discoverer from Oracle E-Business-Suite R12

Hi!
At the moment im integrating Oracle Discoverer 10g with Oracle E-Business-Suite R12. (Metalink Note: 373634.1)
But how do i start Discoverer from E-Business-Suite?
Is there a spezial responsibility or a spezial link?
Or do i have to start discoverer as standalone server:port/discoverer/viewer?
But in this case, how can i connect to the e-business-suite-database?
Is there any Metalink Note for this? (eg. Using Discoverer 10g with E-Business-Suite R12 Users Guide?)
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi,
Check that your ICX Discoverer profiles are set correctly and check Note 278095.1 for how to link to workbook.
