Title in the Discoverer Viewer is improperly displayed

Hi,
The Title in the Discoverer Viewer is improperly displayed. The parameters that are applied are also being displayed in the title. Previously it was working fine but now the titles are displayed as &parameter_name. Can someone give a solution to this problem?
Thanks

Hi
That's right. The names of parameters and page items in your title or text area are not dynamic as they are in other parts of the tool. Therefore, whatever Discoverer sees after the ampersand character will first of all be looked for in parameters and page items. If there is a parameter or page item by that name then the current value for that item will be displayed in the title or page item. If there is nothing named that way then Discoverer treats the characters following the ampersand as a literal and will display them.
Thus, as mentioned by Russ, if you had a parameter called parameter_name and used &parameter_name in your title the current contents of that parameter will be displayed at runtime. But if you or one of your team has renamed that parameter then Discoverer will simply display the literal value: &parameter_name.

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

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..

Most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter

most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter the title in iPhoto. why the inconsistency? running OS 10.9.5 and using iPhoto 9.5.1

Try this: select one of the photos that are showing the wrong title and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to File Name menu option.
See if that will put the name that you want under the thumbnail.

Oracle Discoverer Viewer will not display in browser

Hi,
I tried using the link below to get to discoverer viewer but it is not working. I can access Oracle Enterprise Manager without any problem.
Could you please help me with that.
Thanks,
Vani
===========================================
Start a Web browser and enter the Discoverer Plus URL containing the fully qualified host name (including port number if necessary) used by your own installation.
For example:
http://machinename.myorganization.com:7777/discoverer/plus
Where:
machinename.myorganization is the hostname and domain on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed
7777 (optional) is the port number on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed if the default port number (i.e. port 80) has been changed
/discoverer/plus is the URL command that starts Discoverer Plus

I am using oracle 9iAS on Windows 2000 Professional.
Database is the one created from the Oracle 9iAS CD that holds the 9iAS Infrastructure.
I have tried using both Netscape 7.1 and Internet Explorer 6.
At this moment, I am hosting database, Application server and browser on this test machine.
I am starting to believe that may be I do not have the correct EUL version but I have used Oracle IDs to create the EUL. It is version 5.x.x. I am not at the location so I cannot give the exact EUL version.

How to get the current view name is displaying?

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement that I have to know the current view is displaying. At the header of the page, there is a component (BTCHIST) which is fix and common for the all others. It has a button called Finish. When the user clicks on it, it has a different behavior depending on the current view.
Does anyone know any method in order to get this information? I searched up in CRM_UI_FRAME, however I didnu2019t find anything.
Regards,
André

Hi,
You need to redefine the method IF_BSP_WD_HISTORY_STATE_DESCR~GET_STATE_DESCRIPTION of the controller class to change the view description. Unfortunately, the effort is huge and we cannot do it dynamically and needs to be done for each view in question.

NEED TO DISPLAY A COLUMN as HYPERLINK IN discoverer viewer 10g

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement from the customer and the requirement goes like this ::
We have a table in database which has a column which stores the link as VARCHAR.. For example, it has a value https://www.google.com as varchar in database.
We are pulling reports from this database through Discoverer Viewer 10g. While displaying this column in Discoverer Viewer, it should display it as Hyperlink so that as soon as customer clicks on that , it will open the corresponding page in a new browser window.
Customers have invoice images which they want to see by navigating through that link.
Your quick help is highly appreciated..
Thanks !!!!

Hi
Oracle added Drill Link to Internet URL functionality in Discoverer 10gR2 which allows a data item to behave as a hyperlink in Discoverer Plus and Viewer. To use this functionality, a user must open a workbook in Discoverer Plus 10gR2 and add a Drill Link to Internet URL to a column. For more on Drill Link to Internet URL, refer to the Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus User’s Guide – 10g Release 2, Chapter 10, “How to create drill links to Internet URLs”.
When such a drill link is added to a column in Discoverer Plus 10gR2, the column does seem not retain its hyperlink functionality when called within a Discoverer portlet in Portal. This bug was acknowledged by Oracle as bug # 4969310. This is supposed to be fixed in the 11g Portal.
Does this help?

How to Display HTML content in Discoverer Viewer?

Hi,
Is there any way to display html in the Discoverer Viewer 4i or 9i ?
The HTML code could be stored in a CLOB, varchar2 field or also in a referenced HTML side. What I want is that the HTML code is already displayed in the Discoverer Viewer. I know that you can display it by clicking on the filed but that is not what the customer wants.
Thanks
Mike

Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:
http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/
If the swc do not work in Flex4 just use its ource code which works...
...it is basically based on this:

I can't display a chart on the dicoverer viewer ..!!!!!

Dear All,
I'm using dicoverer 9.0.2.53 to created a crosstab worksheet that contains
a 3D bar graph using the discoverer desktop but when i tried to view the worksheet
on the discoverer viewer only the crosstab is displayed but the chart not displayed
although in the presentation options page i enabled 'Show chart area' option.
Are there any missed steps to display the worksheet graph on the discoverer viewer ?
Any help will be appreciated.

The graph must be created in the web module discoverer plus to show in viewer.

I cant see the graph in discoverer viewer whith was created in the desktop

Hi,
I need your help!! I have a problem to see a graph in Discoverer viewer. I will detail you the steps that I follow;
It was a difficult calculate report to results by Discoverer so, I create a view in the data base which show 3 field, Periodo(number) which is a union whit other field from other folder, State(varchar), Requirement(number).
From the discoverer desktop y have a crosstab worksheets and a graph, there I can see it without problem, but in the Discoverer viewer I can see the graph.
I tried to set the worksheets options in “show options” to show me the graphs too, but this options didn’t appeared there. Somebody know what I should have to do to see it?
On the other hand I changed the “show null values show” option since null to empty, and when I wanted to save the change this error appeared;
“Oracle BI Discoverer don’t had to found the necessary values to show the events…”
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Dora

Hi Dora,
The graphs that you create using Discoverer Plus will show nicely in Viewer. Everything you develop in Pluys works in Viewer. They are companion products.
You must realize that Discoverer Plus/Viewer and Desktop are two seperate product sets and they use different techniques for graph creation. There are other differencies between the two that suggests that you need to develop all reports using Discoverer Plus in stead of Discoverer Desktop.
I have experienced workbook created in Plus being destroyed when opened and saved using Desktop. So for a long time I have simply forgotten all about Desktop. If your company is relying on both Viewer and Dersktop I suggest that the time has come to change strategy and technique.
If you need sparring please mail to [email protected]
Good Luck!

Hi All,
We are also having similiar type of error in our portal.

#######SAPEngine_System_Thread[impl:5]_13##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server#Plain###
The cluster server element 125898350 is not added in the EP cluster context,
because prtbridge on 125898350 is stopped or not yet started
(maybe the server is starting or shuting down).
We have implemented the FPN using RRA.
This error comes only for few users when they navigate in Portal. After clearing the cache, it works for all. Kindly help us to resolve this issue.

Discoverer Viewer showing Cache.How to show the updated data on DB

Hi,
Thanks in advance.
I'm am using url to open discoverer report in browser.
http://hostname/discoverer/viewer?cn=cf_a129&event=openWorksheet&wsk=workbookname
I'm getting the report data correctly when i enter the parameter and click go button.
When i close the browser using browser close option.Then I inserted one more data in DB and then generate the same report again.
The report i'm getting is the old one,which dont have the inserted new data.
It might be coz the report i created 1st is been cached and kept.
Is there any way to rerun the query reach time i open the report.
Edited by: 849540 on Jan 2, 2012 2:39 AM

Hi,
You should disable the caching in the application manager.
Go to the discoverer->viewer->cache and uncheck the "V".

Tweak Discoverer Viewer layout

Hi ,
I am facing a strange problem while trying to roll out the discoverer viewer reports through discoverer viewer. The users, who have been using Excel sheets for years, are asking for lots of changes in the way discoverer viewer displays data. Alhough they are aware that there are lots of other advantages of this tool over excel, but still there are some problems that they feel are basic, and must be adressed. Can someone please help me out on these?
1) The row height of rows in discoverer cannot be altered, so even when the font size of data is just 6, the rows are wide enough to fit data of font size 10!. The layout/format options in discoverer do not provide option to shrink row heights, and so lots of empty space.
2) The reports have to be scrolled using Left ->, Down -> links if the number of rows and columns are large. Although, the Rows and Columns link can be used to fetch all rows and columns in one go, but that has to be done everytime a report is opened. The users want that the number of rows and columns be set to a high value by default. But I could find no place where this can be set as default for all reports.
3) A graphical logo can be displayed in the Title when using Desktop. But this is not available in Plus and Viewer. Moreover in the page where report is displayed, Oracle Discoverer Viewer logo is visible at the top which is not required. Effectively, what is wanted is missing and what not is very well there :-(. how do I do these changes?
4) The NULL values have been set to be displayed as '-' when reports were saved in Plus. But the Viewer still shows them up as NULL. I had to change each of the report in viewer to display the NULL as '-' by going to the Link 'Worksheet Options'. I can't understand that why there is no synch between Plus and Viewer for this setting. Surprisingly now, the worksheet options link has vanished from the viewer page after I did some changes a couple of weeks back, and now I am unable to do those changes too :-((. How do I bring the link back? or how do I set the NULL to be displayed as '-' be default for all reports?
Lots of questions I know... but I am stuck and this is actually affecting the acceptance of the tool among the users. They have been using the excel sheets that are very flexible(the world knows), but still they would be more than happy to use Viewer ,if at least these basic change are made.
Any help on any of these is appreciated.
Thanks
Goga

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Report Layout difference in Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
A report was developed in Discoverer Desktop. It is having some 10 columns as data points. The summarized columns for those 10 columns are required. But only 3 columns should be displayed in Detailed Data Points. So we shrinked(brought together) all the unwanted columns keeping 3 datapoints displayed. Now it is working fine in the discovere Desktop. But when we open the same report in the Discoverer Viewer, all the 10 columns are displayed in the Detailed Data Points as well.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Rakesh

hi Michael,
good morning..hope u had a good sleep.
as per your last thought y'day, even though i create a function for the sum of season values n select those columns into the report, those will not be shown as summarized columns on right hand side of the report. they will be shown as datapoints for every month in that selected season.
i think the only possible solution for like this report is to hide those unwanted columns. for this we have hidden checkbox option in tools->sort while developing. but this option is available only for tabular reports.
if u come up with any fresh solution for the fresh day...i am glad.
Thanks,
_Rakesh.

Discoverer Viewer Actions changed by User (version Oracle 10.1.2)

Does anyone know if it is possible to control the list of available actions to selected users of discoverer Viewer?
I'm using a Portal Dashboard to display Discoverer worksheets. The user can click on the analyze link, which brings up the Discoverer viewer in a new window. I want to be able to hide or remove the export and email Actions for selected users.
Thanks.

Hi
Using standard Viewer functionality it is impossible to have the system change the links on a user by user basis. If you are clever at writing UIX you might be able to alter the code that controls the Viewer interface but be warned, doing so could well invalidate your support agreement. This line of attack is not for the feint of heart and you need to backup your original files first, and even then thoroughly test it on a non-production application server first.
I hope this helps
Best wishes
