Totals in Discoverer

Hello,
I have Discoverer Admin/Desktop 9.0.2.53 installed on my local system.
I need to calculate an amount each break of the key as a sum of the current key plus the sum of the previous key.
E.g.
key1 100$
key1 50$
TOT 150$
key2 30$
key2 10$
TOT 190$ (150+40)
...and so on.
How can I do to obtain this?
Thanks a lot.
Roberto

Creating Total for Discoverer Plus 10 Cross Tab

Hi Everyone,
Any known issue in creating total for Discoverer Plus 10g CrossTab?
My Total did not display any value when the there is more than 1 data to be summed.
Anyone encountered this kind of problem before?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks
Regards,
Angeline

If attempting to calculate sum as total, try cell sum... If datapoints are a mix of detail and aggregates, try neutral aggregate for detail or better still seperate aggregate from group by items (e.g. in a cross tab worksheet, keep dimensions on the left hand side or page item and only aggregable facts in the datapoint area). Hope this helps.

Can't Display large total in Discoverer Plus

I am trying to display a large total (billions) in Discoverer Plus, however instead of displaying the actual number it displays "#######################". The number I am trying to display is 1,234,567,890. Other totals display fine, however they are only in the millions, not billions.
I am in Discoverer Plus so I can't change the cell/column size. I have also tried changing the font size to a much smaller size.
Any suggestions?
Currently Displays

Thanks for the info John.
I'm using Discoverer Plus and don't have Discoverer Desktop, although our admin does. If he makes the change on Desktop will the change be reflected on Discoverer Plus as well?
I have tried a few different formatting changes in Discoverer Plus however my Discoverer Plus is down right now and can't get in to see if the change you recommended is available in Plus.
Again, thanks for the help...it is much appreciated.

Total in Discoverer Plus

I have created a report in Discoverer Desktop Edition
(Version 4.1.44.00.00). The 'Person Code' column
has 'Count Distinct Total' and the total has been
displayed on the report. When I run the same report
in Plus (Release 4.1.44.00.00) the total shows a blank.
What needs to be done to correct this problem? Thank
you in advance.

Hi,
Try changing the aggregation behaviour in Plus by going into Edit -> Worksheet Properties -> Aggregation (Last Tab) and select the last 'Show the sum of the values displayed in the contributing cells', this suppresses the action and allows totalling on mixed item/aggregate columns.
Hope this helps,
PJ

Running total in discoverer

hi,
how can i acheive running total functionality in discoverer..i want to sum row1 with row2 then result sum with row3 and so on.my giving example below:
jan 1 1
feb 3 4
mar 4 8
apr 5 13..so on ,third col is runnig total col..
so if any one has solution for this,then pls let me know
thanks in advance

Manish,
You could easily do this within in a procedure that runs each night to populate the data into a table. Or you might try creating a function where you pass the date and then it calcs. the value from the beinging of the year to that date. The procedure is easier, the function is prettier.

Running totals in Discoverer

Hi,
Can I calculate totals for some columns in a discoverer sheet, but not show the detailed records which are summarized by the total?
E.g. my sheet is formed by 2 columns. For each distinct value of column1 the total calculates the sum of column2. I want to display only the first column and the corresponding total, not the details of column2 also and the total in the end.
Thank you.

Total on Discoverer Plus

I have a column of Total of all data poinst, and this total results ######## instead of the value in US$.

Hi Daniela,
Okay, I'm stuck... There must be some difference in settings between your installation of Viewer and Plus, or a difference in the workbook. The only thing I can suggest now is to find that difference.
Anyone else any suggestions?

Problems in Discoverer Grand Total

Hi,
I have a problem regarding group total in discoverer. I have two calculated columns suppose A and B and theier group totals at bottom. Now I have another column C which is B/A. The problem is grand total of C gives the totals of row values for C. Instead of that I want grand total of C = grand total of B/grand total of A.
How could that be possible?
Please help.

You would need to provide more detail about your 3 columns. On your column C total, are you using SUM or CELL SUM? That would be the first thing that I would look at. Certainly Discoverer is tricky about this kind of stuff. I have worked on true data warehouse software where you could define the total cell for column D to be the SUM(Column A) / SUM(Column B). Unfortunately Discoverer is not so straightforward as that.

Business object to Discoverer

Hi All,
Any documents available, for migrating reports from BO to Disc?
Thanks

I too am not aware of any way to migrate Business Objects reports to Discoverer.
We are coming from a B.O. environment, though we are in the midst of an ERP implementation (non -EBS to EBS) so we are starting from scratch. Here are some of my thoughts:
-If your data sources are not changing (e.g. your data warehouse or your relational database), I would closely examine your existing universes. I would anticipate a correspondence between your B.O. universes and your business areas in Discoverer. I would encourage creating ER Diagrams of the existing universes and this would be the building blocks for your work in Discoverer. I too am unaware of any nice tools to ease your pain.
-I like John's suggestion: You could maybe look at doing custom folders, where you could copy in the SQL statement, and then rebuild the report in Discoverer from that custom folder
-Our B.O. universes were pointing at a relational database and so we heavily leveraged using multiple Business Objects data providers with manual links between them. There is nothing like this in Discoverer. Brace yourself if you relied on this. This has been somewhat painful for me.
-Discoverer appears to have more functions available in creating calculations.
-Discoverer appears to me to be more rigid in totaling.
-Discoverer has features to allow calculations that take into consideration context (like groups) that are similar to B.O., but feel less intuitive. I hope I change this feeling, but right now they feel awkward yet.
-A lot of our old B.O. reports had multiple tables on one tab. You cannot do this in Discoverer. Discard any thoughts of trying this.
-If your company has great aspirations for using the Discoverer scheduler, please lower its expectations. Emailing and output to files in multiple formats is not out of the box. Armstrong's book does provide some good alternatives if you still have great scheduling aspirations.
-Memorize the Armstrong's Oracle Press Discoverer book.
-Lastly, the user community does not seem/feel nearly as big, but people try to help one another.
In many respects, I am still learning a lot (I have only been seriously working with Discoverer for about 8 months). If I made a wrong assertion, I am sure someone will correct me.
Prepare yourself for a lot of work.

Cummulative total and rank function

Hi,
I'm using Discoverer 3.1.36 and wondering if there is a way to
get cumulative totals with Discoverer and how
For i.e
column A      column B      column C
     AB          50          50
     BC          100          150
     MB          70          220
Also how to create the report that will show only top X values
and has rank column too
For i.e
Rank     Column A
1 50
2 30
3 15

try importing your own sql statement for using the rank
function. you may have to export sql first (to create the sql
file), then edit it and import it.
to get rank, you can try something like this:
SELECT "User Name", "Number of whtvr"
FROM
(SELECT t1.username "User Name", COUNT(*) "Number of whtvr",
RANK() OVER (ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC nulls last) rank
FROM table1 t1, table2 t2
WHERE t1.userid=t2.userid
AND t1.date BETWEEN t2.start_date AND t2.end_date
GROUP BY t1.username)
WHERE rank <= 10
ORDER BY "Number of whtvr" DESC;
try adding another column to assign a number to each row for the
rank, maybe a sequence generated number, if a rank column (from
the subquery) doesn't work.

SCOM 2012 - Event ID 6024 (Launching Restart Health Service. Health Service exceeded Process\Handle Count or Private Bytes threshhold.)

I am getting event ID 6024 (LaunchRestartHealthService.js : Launching Restart Health Service. Health Service exceeded Process\Handle Count or Private Bytes threshhold.) within an interval ranging from 12-17 minutes.
I am using SCOM (2012 SP1 and 2012 R2) on Windows Server (2008 R2 / 2012 / 2012 R2).
This issue is occurring only on agent managed computer (acting as proxy and discover managed objects on other computers setting is enabled) which i am using for monitoring my device. All discovery scripts (powershell) and monitors are targeted on this agent
managed computer.
There are total 80 discoveries and 900 monitors. 55 discoveries and 550 monitors are enabled by default and rest all are disabled.
I am seeing event id 6024 frequently only on agent managed computer. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Mukul

To fix issue 6024, you can follow below steps:
1. Open SCOM console. Go to Monitors -> Agent -> Entity Health -> Performance -> Health Service Performance -> Health Service State.
2. Double click Health Service Handle Count Threshold monitor and go to Overrides page.
3. Click Override -> For a specific object of Class: Agent. Select the affected SCOM agent QMXServer.
4. Check on the parameter Agent Performance Monitor Type - Threshold. Change the default value 2000 to an appropriate value, like 4000. You can check the Health service handle count alert in SCOM console to get the value when the alert is generated. You
can also launch the health explorer against QMXServer to check the value when the monitor state is changed from healthy to critical.
Also you can refer below links

SUM Calculations

Hi.
I am using OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.00.00) and am having an issue were I can't SUM a column. When try to sum the column I receive "Sum: " with no value. The things I have tried are: Changing the item to a detail, or Sum.
Creating a Calculation using the Item.
The data in the column are defined as a Number.
Anybody have any ideas on what I can do to fix this.
Thanks
Anami

If you refer to Discoverer documentation somewhere it is explained how it does the aggregations. For the totals, if Discoverer determines that the totals are invalid it will not display the result. consider a simple e.g
Master Master_num Detail Detail_num
m1 10 d1 1
m1 10 d2 2
m2 11 d4 8
m2 11 d5 9
Now if you ask Disco to total on Detail_num it will happily do it for you as there is "no duplication" of rows.
If you ask Disco to total on Master_num, it will tell "sorry can't do that", why? because you have defined the joins in the EUL identifying the master-detail relationship. Using this join criteria it determines which columns can be aggregated.
solution 1: Do a Cell sum on master_num, but if you just do cell sum it will show you (10 + 10 + 11 + 11) and if you pick distinct Cell sum then it will be (10+11)
So depending on what you want pick the right choice.
solution 2: change the join to one-to-one instead of master detail.
solution 3 : usually all the totals should come from the detail folder if master and child elements exists together in the same report. avoid master totals.

Discoverer Report Row Total

We are running Oracle BI Discoverer Viewer version 11.1.1.4.0. When we upgraded to this version we lost some functionality. In the previous version the report displayed the number of rows the query returned. Now the row totals display only under certain conditions. For instance, I have a inventory report name INV-REP-120 and it prompts the user for 6 parameters & displays 6 columns of data. One of the parameters is named ‘Keyword' and I’ll use this one in the problem description. When I set the keyword parameter to ‘HINGE’ The bar at the top of the results sheet it displays:
‘Rows 1-25 of 81, Columns 1-6 of 9’
When I change the keyword to ‘TUBE’ the viewer displays:
‘Rows 1-25, Columns 1-6 of 9’
The total rows are not displayed but the number of pages. It appears that if the total number of rows is less than 200 then the row total is displayed. I changed the rows displayed from 25 to 100 and scrolled down to the last page and now the reports displays:
‘451 – 458 of 458, Columns 1-6 of 9’
When I use the key word TEE I get :
‘Rows 1-50, Columns 1-6 of 9’
There are 596 tees, which would be about 12 pages of 50 rows. I noticed that at the top of table there is a field ‘Page 1 of 5.’ It looks like if there are more than 5 pages it does not display the total number of rows.
There seems to be some interaction between the total number of rows the number of rows per page and perhaps a setup on the back-end that determines whether or not the row total is displayed. How can I configure the viewer at the front-end and/or back-end to consistently display the row total for a report? Is there a Discoverer preference located in the pref.txt in the apps server that controls this?

Hi,
You can inform to your SP to edit the table EUL4_documents
and ask him to modify the name of the report that is stored in the column DOC_NAME .There is absolutely no necessary to open the work book that is stored in the database and change the work book name

Swamy!

Discoverer Report Totals

I am using multiple tables in a discoverer report and using group totals. The total headings appear on the report but not the totals.
Also, when using multiple tables in discoverer, how do you determine which table is being used as the primary read?
Thanks

I am using multiple tables in a discoverer report and
using group totals. The total headings appear on the
report but not the totals. ----- Which type of total are you using ? Make sure that the 'Data points' are Numbers. Also, make sure to change 'Show NULL values as' to 0

The page total amount is not correct on discoverer plus 10.1.1.48.18

on my discoverer report, there is sunnary field based on a column.
for example, I have a salesrep expense discoverer report.
the salesrep name is the page item, each page has one salesrep, under the page item there are many line which show the expense detail amount, there is a column called expense, under the expense column there is a total amount summary field to sum the expense for this salesrep.
Sometimes, the total amount is not the sum of the expense column, sometimes the total amount show negative zero as: -0.00. What I thought this maybe a number round issue.
Does anybody has similar issue? how to fix this ?
Thanks

I actually used toad to run the query and exported to EXCEL then sum it in excel, I got the correct total amount.
the following is the SQL query, we use the total feature to sum the commission:
