Starting Discoverer Web Plus or viewer

I installed Oracle 9iAS on an WK2000 box and seems to work fine. Have created a new EUL (via Oracle 9iDS - Disco Admin) but now cannot find out where on earth the html links are to viewer or plus.
I realize it's a simple question but where are the Plus and Viewer html starts!
Thx.

Hi,
Why do you think it should be optional?
When I look at the seeded report the parameters are mandatory as well.

Discoverer 10g Plus and Viewer

Hi,
Oracle Discoverer Plus and Viewer are part of Oracle Application Server software, and no separate installation is required to access it.

Discoverer 4i Plus returns no data when using views with db link references

I am using Discoverer 41 Plus to view reports online.
When I create a worksheet based on a view, that only references local tables, everything is OK and Disco plus shows the output OK.
When I create a worksheet based on a view, that references a Database link, Disco plus gives me an "Query caused no data to be returned" error.
Is this to be expected from Discoverer Plus?
Thanks - Sue.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the default position (and default aggregate) for the EUL folder item? I can see that some of the folders have number type items with default position 'Data Point' and others have these with default position of 'Top or Side'. I'm totally stabbing around in the dark here; looking at EUL folders which exhibit the problem and those which don't.
I've tried changing one field to 'Data Point' and it hasn't helped. Will try changing the join items now I think.
If anyone has any comments, would be v. grateful as I'm looking at dropping folders which have quite a bit of code around them and trying to re-create them exactly, which is a risky and horrible solution.

Hi,
Were you able to find the solution to this problem? I have installed 9ias successfully. I could log to OEM and created a public connection but I cannot go to

I get an error "Internal Server Error".
Any help is welcome

How to make the start of Disco Plus / Viewer faster

Hello,
I open a workbook via link in Discoverer Viewer. It takes 30-60 seconds until the workbook opens.
I have to say that the whole environment is running on a laptop with 1,5 GB Ram (for a showcase). Is there an option to make it faster? I'm a little confused because when I manually start Discoverer Plus and then open the workbook it does not take so much time.
regards,
Tobias

Toki.
One other 'trick' you can perform for making the actual query run faster once you've connected - for demo purposes only - is to not use 'real data' with many tables, views, etc. but to dump the data you want into one table. In otherwords, you create a table that has the actual data that you would get from a query, querying say 3 tables.
Then when you're demo'ing, you get instant response as you're only using 1 table.
This is done by a well known company when they're trying to show off their product against an Oracle database and querying with various query tools including Disco.

Login form of Discoverer 10g Plus/Viewer

Hi all,
can you tell me if there is a way to get the login form of Discoverer 10g Plus/Viewer to remember the last login credentials (except password) like the Desktop version do? Have I missed a setting in preferences file or AS Control?
OK I can create an own HTML page which looks exactly the same as the login page and saves the values in a cookie but time is money and I think this feature should be solved by Oracle itself.
Thanks in advance,
Uwe

Discoverer 4i Plus Applet not initializing Win2k/IE6 - Solution

Hi,
I finally got a solution to the problem of the Discoverer 4i Plus Applet not launching on IE 6.0 Windows2000 machines.
When you click on the image "Click to Start" the area goes grey and the applet never comes up. When you look at the java console you will notice a class not found exception. The reasons are as follows :
- IE 6.0 doesn't come with a built in JVM unlike the earlier versions. The JVM resides with the OS i.e. Windows2000 or WindowsXP.
- When launching the Discoverer applet you need to invoke the appropriate htm page
e.g. http://serverURL/discwb4/html/english/ms_ie/start_ie.htm
This htm page doesn't have any hint in the <applet> tag to use jinitiator or any other JVM to launch the applet, assuming that since the IE browser has an embedded JVM the applet will be launched. However this fails to happen since IE6.0 which ships with Window200 and Windows XP doesn't have a built in JVM. Why the JVM in the OS doen't take of that I don't know as yet. Therefore the applet fails to load and you get a class not found exception that can be verified thru the browser's java console.
- So instead of calling the IE configured page start_ie.htm call the corresponding netscape page like http://serverURL/discwb4/html/english/netscape/start_nn.htm. The start_nn.htm page has the appropriate <embed> tags to hint the initialization of the applet using jinitiator or other JVM. Therefore the applet gets launched.
Hope this helps all those who have had to face this issue.

Hi Simon
(4) Can I take the user automatically to the list of database workbooks ("Open Workbook from Database" dialogue box) without the user having to choose "Open an existing workbook" and "Database"?
Yes user can automatically view the workbooks or the worksheet or even a particular page of the worksheet.
Give the URL to the user and ask the user to run the URL from his/her browser. The URL shloud however contain the username, password, database name, workbook name etc...
This way we can bypass all the login screens and go directly to the desired page.
URL is as follows
http://hostname.domain/program_name/?us=APPS&db=devl&wb=Wb3&pw=apps
where
hostname.domain/program_name is where ur discoverer viewer is residing
us is the username
pw is the password
db is the database u wnat to connect to
wb is the workbook u want to open
Try this , this works.

Discoverer 10G Plus Questions

Hi
We're in the process of upgrading from Discoverer 4 (APPS EUL) to 10G. We're doing away with the Desktop client. Most users will be given access to Discoverer Viewer and other users will be given access to Plus. We have recently upgraded or DEV instance and there are a few "questions" (i.e. gripes) that users have come back to me with:
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?
2) Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.
3) NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.
I'd very much appreciate feedback on any of the 3 points above.
Thanks.
Paul.

Hi paul,
Its a good idea to upgrade from 4i to 10g 4i is no more used by many and their are some issues or bugs with it.The latest version is 11g which has been released 1 week back.If not go with 10g version available.
1) Do all reports have to be stored on the database to allow them to be accessed by Plus or Viewer? Can only the 10G client version open files from a local hardrive or shared network drive?Yes they have to stored in the database so any ened user can access them from plus or viewer.
Can only one report be open at any given time with Plus or Viewer? In client it is possible to have 2 reports open at the same time to facilitate easier comparisons.Yes,if the reports are registered as different reports and if the end user has access to both the reports thn he can open and compare it OR if both reports are in same workbook as different sheets than its easy to view or compare.
NULL values are still showing the word "NULL" even though in Tools Options we have set it to show blank, existing reports are still using the NULL value.It should show blank,might be some problem.In discoverer 10g i think you will not find this issues.
Hope this helps you.
Best Wishes,
kranthi.

Can't start the web site of Reports Services

Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
After installation of the 9iAS, can't start the web site of
Reports Services
and Form Services from the URL listed in the postinstallation
guide using
default port no 1950. The dev60html and devdem60/demo
directories are not
existing, the runrep.htm and runform.htm files are in the
directory
tools/web60/html. I also tried to replace the dev60html with
tools/web60/html
in the URL but it won't work.
During the installation the discoverer and portal tools failed,
the portal
hanged at 100%, and the discoverer didn't install the util
directory. But we
can login to the portal from the URL.

Hi,
Dumb question : is one of your server listening on port 7001 ? If not, should it ?
What is the expected behavior ? A managed trying to connect to the admin server ?
Check the value for ADMIN_URL value, set in the startManagedServer.sh or cmd.
Another dumb question : do you have a firewall ?

Please, i need your help!

I had a similar problem with a vanilla install of 11g on my local Windows XP box. The difference was that I could connect using SqlPlus but could not connect with Sql Developer.
In Sql Developer, I first tried "Connection type = basic", "Hostname = localhost", "Port = 1521" and "sid = orcl".
I then tried "Connection type = TNS", "Network Alias = ORCL".
Neither worked.
In the end, I got around the first problem by replacing "localhost" with the machine's IP address. I got around the second problem by looking at windows services and noticing that the "OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener" service was set to start automatically but was not started. I started it manually and all was good. I'm sure this willl alll fall apart when my IP address changes due to DHCP but at least I will know where to look.

Discoverer 4i Plus: Printing

I noticed the web version of Discoverer will print every page of your report. It doesn't allow the end user to control the column width, or specify which pages you want to print.
For now I ask my users to export to Excel to print out the reports. When will this be fixed?
I'm using Oracle Discoverer 4i Plus Release 4.1.43.07

I see that this is going to be fixed in a future release as an enhancement request 1677079. This was entered in March.

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.

Scheduling Manager in Discoverer 4i plus 4.1.48.08.00

Hi
I am trying to schedule a discoverer report to run overnight using Discoverer 4i plus 4.1.48.08.00 and cannot find anywhere to do this . The only thing I can see is an option to open results for a scheduled report.
I know I can do this via Discoverer Desktop . The only problem is that the Accountant wants to run the report from his PC and he doesn't have Discoverer Desktop but has Discoverer Plus.
Is there any way around this ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The best free third party scheduler is the one native to Windows - typically called AT.
You'll find it here: Start | Programs | Accesories | System Tools | Scheduled Tasks
When you get there you should see a link called Add Scheduled Task
If you have a copy of my Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook (which is more than 75% valid for Discoverer 4 end users and 95% valid for administrators) you will find a complete work flow for setting up third party scheduling Discoverer using AT.
I also have a paper on mu downloads page that talks about third party scheduling : http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm

Performing searches and scrolling within a report using Plus and Viewer

Hi All:
In Discoverer Plus and Viewer, is there a way to do searches within a report?
Also, if I have a report that has multiple pages, as much as I can adjsut the row number, is there a quick way to get from the beginning to the end of the report and vice versa without using the Down/Up option?
thanks .... cm

Hi cm
In Plus, you can click the Search button, it has the icon of a Torchlight. This brings up a new dialog box that allows you to search through the report. Because Viewer is an HTML page it has no similar feature. If the whole report is on screen you can the browsers own search facility by pressing CTRL-R.
As for getting to the last page in Viewer, that functionality was added as an enhancement during the release of 10.1.2.2 cumulative patch 2 and has been continued into 10.1.2.3
Here are the notes from CP8:
Enabling Bug 5639863 - ENH: NEED OPTION TO NAVIGATE TO LAST PAGE IN VIEWER
Introduced UI for page navigation, using which a user can navigate to first/previous/next/last/specific page of the worksheet in Viewer. A new config parameter, named ‘pageNavigation’ has been added in configuration.xml as part of this enhancement.
It is a Boolean parameter, which when set to true, the page navigation toolbar will appear in the Viewer page, else not. It has been added owing to the fact that non-incremental query has to be run for showing the page serial number information correctly, thus resulting in relatively more show-up time of worksheet (based on how large the worksheet is) for the first time its rendered. It is recommended to set this parameter as FALSE, because setting it to true makes the query non-incremental, which is a performance trade-off.
And some additional commentary from CP2:
The default is FALSE. If you wish to use this UI, then you may notice a performance trade off for very large queries when the query initially runs compared to the default 10.1.2 functionality. The trade off is that it is much easier and quicker to navigate to specific pages of a large report.An example of the usage of 'pageNavigation' is given below
<viewer queryRefreshPeriod="3000" queryRequestTimeout="1000"
longRequestRefreshPeriod="6000" longRequestTimeout="10000"
userDefinedConnections="true" logLevel="error" laf="dc_blaf"
switchWorksheetBehavior="prompt" defaultLocale="en" disableBrowserCaching="false"
enableAppsSSOConnection="false"
pageNavigation="true">
