To enable MLS in Discoverer

Hi,
Our client wants to enable MLS support in Discoverer. Could anyone of you please help me with what needs to be done for this ?
Also, for example - an user when he runs a report in Portugese(assuming he has all security profiles enabled) - Will the output be in Portugese fonts ? Will it be a Translation ? or a Transliteration ?
Any earlier reply is APPRECIATED !!!
Thanks,
Ashok

I assume you mean NLS - National Language Support.
Given the limited information you provided, the answer is 'yes', you can display your worksheets in multiple languages assuming everything is installed and configured correctly.
In brief, you will need:
+ to be sure your data in the database is in UTF8 characterset
+ to be sure you have installed Oracle Application Server/Discoverer with the desired/appropriate languages
+ the correct fonts are installed (particularly for double-btye character languages -- i.e. Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc.
+ the correct locale is chosen in the Discoverer interface
This document should help get you started and point you to the links in the Application Server Globalization Guide specific to Discoverer
How To Find Language (NLS) and Character Information For Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) (Doc ID 434135.1)
Additionally, if you are using E-Business Suite, then you will need to be aware that NLS values can be passed via the ICX profiles.
Hope that helps get you started. Other comments welcomed.
Regards,
Steve.

I was not able to determine where I have to enable, please check snapshot:
Question 1: For this IIS MP Guide, Shall I enable all of what I get in the photo?
and the second doubt is about next snapshot:
Question 2: Where shall I override?
Thanks

The base class the rule is targetting is "Health Service" (see the "inherited from" column, that lists the class you'll want to override for provided you want to do an override for all the objects the rule is targetting, which is what it
sounds like you want). When you choose "override the rule" for that one it should say "for all objects of class: Health Servcie". Overriding that will override for everything the rule is targetting. You should be able to follow this logic for the rest
of them as well.

How to enable Scheduling in Discoverer for Oracle users?

Hi,
For accessing discoverer, our users are uaing Oracle usernames.
how can i enable scheduling for them?
we have already enabled scheduling for users who use database login to use discoverer. but not able to link oracle users to database.
are they linked through the responsibilities they use for logging?
thanks,
Gayatri

Hi Gayatri
If you're working in Apps mode and logging in with an E-Business Suite user account then by default the database account that will be used to access the database is APPS. You should not change this and there is nothing that you need to do to set this up apart from grant the user permission to schedule. You do that on the Scheduled Workbooks tab of the Privileges dialog box after choosing Tools | Privileges in the Administrator tool.
On a non-E-Business Suite application you can either grant privileges direct to the user or you can specify a proxy user for storing the scheduled results. In order to create such a proxy user you would need to run the script called batchusr.sql which you will find in this folder: $ORACLE_HOME\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer\util on the Windows machine where you have installed the Discoverer Administrator tool. In most cases this will be: C:\Oracle\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer\util
The following link will help considerably: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13916_04/scheduled_workbooks.htm#i1011948
Another method would be to use Oracle's concurrent manager to schedule the reports. My good friend Rod West has an article on this which I am hosting here on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads/Third%20Party%20Documents/Scheduling%20through%20Concurrent%20Manager.pdf
I hope this helps

Enabling #mls qos globally on 3650 switch

Hi,
I just got a WS-C3650 switch, Trying to configure #mls qos but it seems as if this switch does not support this feature.
Is there a way of enabling it?

Hey,
Its enabled by default, as this box uses MQC for QoS. Check the link:

Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.48.18 to Report Builder

Hi,
I'm new to using oracle tools but have a background in SSRS. I need some help getting discover queries/data into report builder
I've been asked to develop some reports based on oracle discoverer and while I have the queries running I want to bring them all together using report builder to save running them individually each morning. From googling it seems the easiest way is to export the discover results as XML and then open it in report builder. However, when I try to export from discoverer xml is not an option. Has anyone seen this before or have an advice on how to get the option enabled.
Both discoverer and reports builder are installed on my PC
Many thanks

Timeouts for Discoverer Viewer and SSO

We've enabled SSO for Discoverer Viewer 9.0.4. We set the Viewer timeout in the web.xml file to 120 minutes. We set the SSO Global user Inactivity Timeout to 240 minutes. Viewer sessions don't timeout at 120 minutes. Does the GUIT timeout override the Viewer timeout?
--- Steve

Hi
As far as I know, the Viewer sessions don't time out using the Discoverer settings. These only affect Discoverer Plus. The SSO timeouts will apply though. Out of interest can you tell in which folder was the web.xml you modified?
By the way, 240 sounds an awful long time to allow an SSO connection to stay active.
Best wishes

BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
following message is displayed:
The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
password now to continue.
I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
Connections:
Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
Connections.
Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
connection.

You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
So that it won't ask for password.
Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

Discoverer Viewer login through Apps errors out

Hi All,
May I request for inputs on the following issue please.
SR : 5428453.993
Customer upgrades discoverer from 4i to 10g (10.1.2.48.18)
While running discoverer reports from the APPS
A connection error has occurred.
- OracleBI Discoverer was unable to authenticate using the password
provided. This can happen due to an invalid password or because the
password was lost while using back, forward, or refresh in your browser.
Please enter the password again to continue.
- Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applications
database (afscpgcs)
Modified the following profile option value.
ICX: Discoverer use Viewer
Set the value as No from Yes. This change forces the Discoverer to launch
Discoverer Plus rather than viewer.
After changing the profile option, customer can access discoverer workbooks without any issues (through Plus).

Are you on a 11.5.10 environment? If so please make sure your DBC-file is generated correctly. Since 11.5.10 Discoverer will be started using SSL mode.
Do you have the same issue when connecting thourg the Desktop or even with the Plus (directly from the /discoverer/plus url)? If so, please make sure the 'ICX: Launch Discoverer Plus/Viewer' have the correct value. E.g. http://<server.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]

MLS QOS problems on 3750

When i enable mls qos on 3750 running EMI image the ingress ports should switch to non-trusted and therefore reclassify all DSCP/COS bits to 0.
This is not happening and the COS bits are reamining as set by the IP handsets and pc's.
This does not happen on 3550 or 6500's which i have just tested to verify.

What is the exact version of OS you are using ?

Discoverer Plus and the SSO GUIT (Global User Inactivity Timeout)

Does Discoverer Plus obey the Global User Inactivity Timeout?
We've enabled SSO for Discoverer Plus and Viewer (v. 9.0.4.45.02), and we've
configured the Global User Inactivity Timeout. For testing, we set GUIT to 5 minutes.
When we re-activate a Viewer session after more than 5 minutes of no activity,
we're prompted for our SSO username/password, as expected.
If we leave a Plus session inactive for more than 5 minutes, we are not prompted for our SSO username/password.
If we leave a Plus session inactive for 30 minutes, a pop-up appears warning us
that Plus will exit if we don't take some action. This pop-up is driven by the fact that we set Timeout to 30 minutes in the pref.txt file. Plus behaved this way before we enabled it for SSO.
We thought that Plus and Viewer are both governed by GUIT in the SSO environment. Are we wrong about that?

Yes, i am having the same problem with the Timeout. No matter what i have the timeout set to, the portal never redirects to the login, the users stay logged in indefinitely. We are running 10gAS (10.1.2). I have a feeling it has something to do with the cookie not being properly set. If ANYONE has any experience with this please reply. thanks so much
Steve

MLS QOS on 2960S

Enabling MLS QOS on 2960S seems to "throttle" bandwidth when using a specific Mitel 5320 phone. I have a PC behind the Mitel and the performance is way slower. Validated via a speed test. Once I remove the MLS QOS globally, the performance is greatly improved, about doubled. This is causing some issues as users with this particular phone attached with a PC behind the phone are starting to complain. What could be causing this or what settings to overcome this?

Enabling QoS on a 2960/3560/3750, using defaults, often results in slow transfer performance. This because the default buffer settings often increase drop rates in the newly enabled egress queues. Manual buffer tuning might mitigate.

Distribution of scheduled Discoverer report

Hello everybody!
We need to distribute output of scheduled discoverer report in Excell format to the list of users.
I've read that output of the scheduled report is stored somewhere on the server. I am trying to find where exactly it's located and use shell script to mail it to users.
My questions:
1. Please direct me where I should look for stored output.
2. Is there better solution to acheive what we need?
Best Regards.

Analyze link generated by Portal not working after SSL Configuration

Hi,
We've installed OracleAS Portal 10.1.4 and Oracle Discoverer Version 10.1.2.48.18 on the same machine. We recently configured SSL on OracleAS Portal for SSO server only. Discoverer was not SSO enabled.
Now after successful SSL configuration we are facing one problem. The Analyze link that is generated by Portal to analyze the worksheet in Single Worksheet Viewer is no longer working. when we click on the analyze link we get the "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error" and a message that Page cannot be displayed.
Please advise...

Hi Andrew
It sounds like you need to enable SSO for Discoverer too.

Data flow using a WLAN controller

Can someone explain the flow of data from wireless client to some destination in the internal network (or the Internet) using a WLAN Controller? Use a 4402 as an example.
Specifically, I am wondering if client traffic actually passes thru the WLAN Controller (4402). I am reading the configuration guide and it doesn't seem to be explicitly stated one way or the other.

Hi Ken,
This is a very common question these days.
Here is a recent thread as well as an excerpt from a good doc:
http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Wireless%20-%20Mobility&topic=Getting%20Started%20with%20Wireless&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1ddaca5d
In the Cisco Centralized WLAN architecture, LWAPP-enabled access points operate in the lightweight mode (as opposed to the autonomous mode). The access points associate to a Cisco WLAN controller. The controller manages the configuration, firmware, and control transactions such as 802.1x authentication. In addition, all wireless traffic is tunneled through the controller.
LWAPP is an IETF draft protocol that defines the control messaging for setup and path authentication and run-time operations. LWAPP also defines the tunneling mechanism for data traffic.
In an LWAPP environment, a Cisco Aironet LWAPP-enabled access point discovers a controller by using LWAPP discovery mechanisms and then sends it an LWAPP join request. The controller sends the access point an LWAPP join response allowing the access point to join the controller. When the access point is joined, the controller downloads its software if the versions on the access point and controller do not match.
LWAPP secures the control communication between the access point and controller by means of a secure key distribution, utilizing X.509 certificates on both the access point and controller.
From this doc:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_quick_start09186a00805100f5.html#wp47092
Hope this helps!

Multi Languague Support for OAF PAges

We have to develop the OAF Pages enabling MLS. This includes the LABELs also changing according to the user languague along with the data.
Can anybody answer the below questions
1> Is there a standard approach that oracle recommends ?
2> Any easy and best approach if anybody already implemented ?
Thanks
Sreedhar

Srini
I went through the doc. I understand we need to PERSONALIZE to translate the columns into different languages. But my question her is , do we need to personalize always to translate ? Because, I'm not required to personalize anything on the page. Is there any other approach to translate the columns without personalize the regions ?
Also, Do we need to export the personalizations at each REGION Level and then import into MDS ? Can't we do at a PAGE Level ? I'm new to the MLS Personalizations.
Thanks
