Upgrade Oracle 9iAS Discoverer Plus & Viewer

I need to upgrade Oracle Discoverer Administrator & Desktop edition to release 4.1.45.08.00.
This release also upgrades the EUL version. I connect to the EUL throught the Oracle 9iAS release 1.0.2.2.1.
I need to know what patch I must apply to the Discoverer Plus & Viewer.
Thanks a lot and sorry about my english.

Hi,
Check that the ICX system profiles are set correctly for your Discoverer configuration. In particular the ICX: Discoverer Launcher and ICX: Discoverer Viewer Launcher system profiles.
When IE displays an error is the URL displayed in the browser a correct Disco URL?

Oracle 9iAS Discoverer Viewer - version 9.0.2.53.16 - Exit Button

We are using Oracle 9iAS Discoverer Viewer - version 9.0.2.53.16. Is it possible to remove or customize the 'Exit' button in discoverer viewer? If yes then how?

Nevermind. I found a different solution.

Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications errors.

Starting Discoverer Plus/Viewer from menu item in Oracle Applications R12 errors.
Here is some general config information that is suspected to be the issue.
1. Running Oracle Applications R12 over HTTPS.
2. Running Discoverer Plus/Viewer over HTTP.
3. Calling menu item that calls a function to start Plus/Viewer.
Function Definition called by the menu item is listed blow.
Properties Tab: Type=SSWA jsp function Context Dependence=Responsibility
Form Tab: Parameters="mode=DISCO"
Web HTML Tab: HTML Call=OracleOasis.jsp
Fact: Starting Discoverer Plus using a URL works fine in the browser. The login page comes up and I can look in to Plus.
The page that dose a redirection to start the Plus applet or Viewer web page fails with this error in IE 7.
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
Thank you for your time.

Performance when executing query on 9iAS Discoverer Plus 1.0.2.2

Hi, anybody knows when there's information about Discoverer Plus configuration (9iAS release 1) to get a good performance? Because, when I run queries, the response time is not good enough.
I have configured the pref.txt file based on the advises of "Oracle 9iAS Discoverer: Best Practices for Release 1.0.2.2 (Discoverer 4i Version 4.1.42x and later)" paper, but without the expected results. Does exist another document about that?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Pablo Ibarra.

Hi,
I'm a Pablo´s partner, he is on vacation now and is very sorried about not answering this forum. In particular, we need documentation about the improvement of running Discoverer queries on 9iAS, may be through configurations on the web server.
We have tunned the queries on client/server, and they run on expected response times, do you know if there's a document "9iAS Discoverer Tunning"?, or something like that?
Thanks a lot in advance.

How to display binary file saved in BLOB column in Discoverer PLUS /VIEWER

HI, Friends,
I tried to display the binary file saved in the database in BLOB column with the *.doc or *.xls fomats, but it seemed not work at all. I can display them in discoverer DESKTOP, but not the web version PLUS or VIEWER. MY Discoverer PLUS/VIEWER version is 9.0.4.45.02 and the database is 9.2.0.4. Are there any special setting/configuration in somewhere (Discoverer administration/Applicaiton server/PLUS/VIEWER?)
Any help /information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Sorry but this feature is not available in the web version of 9.0.4.45. You will have to write your own mod_plsql function to download the file.

Joining tables in Oracle BI Discoverer Plus 10g

My company just implemented Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g and I'm a little confused. It looks like this new version of Discoverer was created with the idea of "simplifying" things for the end user. But it seems to be lacking crucial features that our power users need. Like writing their own SQL statements.
Does anyone have any suggestions? What version of Discoverer should our advanced user's use? Can you suggest another tool? We could always give them SQL Developer, but this seems like overkill. It seems like Oracle has ignored a certain market segment. That is the power user segment. There are many users who can write SQL but do not work in IT. SQL Developer is too much but Discoverer is not enough.

Hi
These days, Oracle is much more accepting of carrying on and even improving legacy products, so long as there’s customers willing to pay support fees.
You just have to see what happened to JD Edwards. When Peoplesoft purchased this several years ago they hardly made any improvements to it and it was being run into the ground. When Oracle purchased Peoplesoft they acquired JD Edwards too but rather than letting the slide continue they have actually have been actively improving it. So much so, that they have issued a major upgrade, thus prolonging the life of JD Edwards for years to come. Oracle could easily have let it slip into obscurity and told the JD Edwards' customers that they needed to convert to E-Business Suite, but they didn't. This is despite the fact that JD Edwards runs on one of their prime competitor's platforms, the IBM AS400!
So you see, Oracle are not going to cut off their nose to spite their face. I think Oracle has being very professional with regards to the products that it has acquired. They don't seem to be acquiring them with the intention of dropping them. They seem to be genuinely interested in market share and keeping customers happy. At least that's the way recent acquisitions have played out - like Siebel Analytics - aka OBI Enterprise Edition.

Link from Discoverer (Plus/Viewer) to Reports?

Is it possible to create a link from a cell on a Discoverer sheet to an Oracle Reports report? I.e. doubleclick on cell value "A" and run report with "A" as parameter?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Access links should be like this.
Discoverer Plus - http://<your domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus
Discoverer Viewer - http://<your domain>:<port>/discoverer/viewer
<port> default port is 7778.
Try now.
Your Administrator is responsible for you to provide the links for both. Check with him.

Export to EXCEL 4m Discoverer Plus/Viewer doesnt retain Header Formatting ?

Hi,
I am trying to export reports from Discoverer Plus and Viewer to XCEL
but the Header's Formatting like Bold and Background Color etc are
not being exported as seen in Plus.
Could you please advice on how to make this happen.
Thanks,
VJ

i tried this option..but the problem is as follows
Excel Export:+ The header comes like this
Report Name Company Name Date : 22-APR-10 Page: 1
Column1     Column2     Column3     Column4                     Column5                                     Column6                                                     Column7

122124     9752          7 METRO NORTH     716 MIDWEST REGION     DODGE CITY/ANDERSON TOYOT      LEXUS OF ROCKFORD
i.e the export to HTML is retaining the format but it is putting the heading into multiple cells..there by making it look bad when opened in Excel.
Wheras in EXCEL export it doesnot retain formatting like Bold,etc it merges all the cells of teh first row and is putting it there which is much better to view.
Is there anything we can do about it ??
Thanks

Error connecting in Discoverer Plus/Viewer 10.1.2

I'm triying to connect to Discoverer Plus or Viewer. When I get to the login screen, fill all the required fields, but I got the following message: "The application encountered an invalid state.
- - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
When I run the checkdiscoverer. It works ok in all the checks except for: "Error: Failed to bind to Discoverer Server.
Hint: Try increasing the timeout by changing the timeout value in opmn.xml.". As the hint said I increased the start timeout, I got it up to 3500 and even incresed the minprocs to see if that helped. Nothing worked.
I'm testing this in a Windows XP Pro SP2 installed 1GB Ram. I Installed the BI Tools, App server but no infrastructure. The Installation process finished without any problems, except for a warning regarding not being able to determine the IP address. I can access all the options of the app server.

Hi Christian
In your connection to the database are you using a DNS named server or are you using an actual IP address?
By this I mean, when you launch Discoverer, do you do it this way:
http://servername.domain.com:7777/discoverer/plus
or this way:
http://ipaddress:7777/discoverer/plus
If you are using the former, can you go to the server itself and run Discoverer ok? If you can then it is a case that your local machine cannot work out what the IP address is. Let's say, for arguements sake, that you server is http://myserver.mydomain.com and that the IP is 192.168.1.100
You could try editing your HOSTS file and inserting a line in there to associate the IP with the domain. To do this, follow this workflow:
1. Right click on Windows Start button and from pop upmenu select Explore
2. Navigate to the folder called Windows/system32/drivers/etc
3. Locate the file called HOSTS
4. Edit this file with Notepad
5. Insert a line like this:
myserver.mydomain.com 192.168.1.100
6 Save the HOSTS file and exit Explorer
This associates the IP with the server name.
Does this help

Michael

HELP: Synchronization between Disc Plus/Viewer/Admin/Client

Can anyone explain this to me: changes in end user layers in admin edition and reports in desktop edition aren't showing up in disc plus and viewer (using the same schema). I've even deleted business areas that are still showing up in disc plus!!

This could be a problem with diferent versions of discoverer. You can check the version of discoverer and the version of the EUL that it's using innthe help menu. For Example Discoverer 3.1 EUL it's Diferent from Disco 4 EUL and so on.
Hope this Helps. I think you're right. On the server I'm running 4.1.3.7, but on my desktop I installed the latest and greatest that came with the 9i Dev Suite release 2 and had to upgrade the EUL when I ran the admin edition. Do you know if Discoverer Plus/Viewer are compatible with 9i Dev Suite discoverer edition? If so, is there any configuration that needs to be done to have it synch with this latest discoverer release?
Thanks.

Discoverer plus patch installation help

i have installed the base version of discoverer 10.1.2.0.2 and version of plus installed is 10.1.2.48.18.
For discoverer plus to work in ie7 i came to know that i have to apply this PatchSet3 from the link
https://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=5983622 and CP6.
I have installed with the name BIHome_1 in E Drive.The path of installation is E:\Oracle\BIHome_1.Now when i am trying to install patchset3 "5983622" ,it is asking me for the name and path and by defult it is taking name as oracleas1 and path as E:\OraHome_1.
What shuld be the actual path of this patch?should i point the path to E:\Oracle\BIHome_1?
If i give the default path and try to install ,it is giving me error as "there is no patch that needs to be applied".
can you tell me correct path for this patch to be installed?
Am i using the correct patchset3(5983622) ?

Hi ,
From the path pf installation it seems that it is a Discoverer Admin/Desktop installation .
Is the above is correct ?
Patch 5983622 is Discoverer 10.1.2.3 patch which can be applied on Discoverer Admin/Desktop and also on Discoverer Plus/Viewer .
In order to apply Patch 5983622 on Discoverer Admin/Desktop do the following
1. Click on to the setup.exe
2. In the OUI make sure Source is pointing to <Your Patch downloaded location>Disk1\stage\products.xml
3. For Destination choose the Oracle_Home pointing to your Discoverer Admin/Desktop installation directory .
Thanks,

Install Discoverer Plus

Hi There,
Right now we have Discoverer Desktop installed in each user PC and connected to an ODS database machine.
What is the process and extra requirement to install the Discoverer Plus to current setup or need to re-install BI again?
Also what is the extra hardware requirement to install the Discoverer Plus?
Thanks and Regards,
Kevin C

Hi,
You need to install Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition on a server. This could be a separate home on the database server, or it could be dedicated server. The users would then connect to Discoverer Plus/Viewer on this server which would manage the connections to the database.
