Use short label in disco PLUS for OLAP report

Hi All,
I've noticed in the spreadsheet add-in you can decide under "query options" whether to use the Long or Short Description when displaying a dimension member. How do you do the same in discoverer PLUS for OLAP ? I cant find it anwhere.
Cheers,
Brandon

Hi Brandonm,
You currently do not have this option in Plus to have use the Short, Long labels.
I think this is planned for a future version, maybe in 11 we will have this.

Discoverer Plus for OLAP

Hi....
Our company had installed Oracle Application Server 10g and using Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18) and also creating the EUL as the data storage/mapping for our workbooks/reports.
Our company has a plan to use Discoverer Plus for OLAP and already installed the discoverer catalog.
How to create a connection using option "Connect To" OracleBI Discoverer for OLAP ?
What is the diffrence between Discoverer Catalog and Analytic Workspace?
What tools that we must use to create data for OLAP (to create some dimensions, measures etc)?
Any Help will be appreciated
Thanks,
Handoko

Hi Handoko,
You can establish a connection from Discoverer Plus for OLAP, by specifying the database connect information in the form of HOST:PORT:SID (e.g MyServer.com:1521:orcl10g).
The Discoverer OLAP catalog is used to store end-user reports and is installed and maintained using Application Server Control console. It allows you to install the catalog and authorize users to store reports in the catalog. The Analytic Workspace Manager is used to define your multi-dimensional model and load the data from source tables.
Mark Rittman provides some indepth documentation, have a look at the link below :

& Oracle’s info:

Hope this helps.

Has Discoverer Plus for OLAP any future?

Has Discoverer Plus for OLAP any future?
It only one desktop product for Oracle OLAP, but no evolution last time and require more functionality.
anybody tell about?

The patch number for 10.1.2.3 is 5983622.
Currently it is available only for Win32 and Solaris. I'm told that it will be available on other ports sometime in April.
Also a word of warning - 10.1.2.3 does not contain the fixes released for 10.1.2.2 in CP4, CP5 and CP6. There will be a one-off patch released shortly for 10.1.2.3 containing these fixes.

How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report

hello,
How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report ? For example something like "fsp_sort_1_desc" - if the user sorts by the first column ?
I cannot use the :REQUEST for this, sometimes the current sort column is not in the :REQUEST, but it is still active.
I thought it was posssible by using
APEX_UTIL.GET_PREFERENCE (
p_preference IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_user IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT V('USER'))
RETURN VARCHAR2;
function, but I don't really know which preference should I pass as parameter.
looking in WWV_FLOW_PREFERENCES$, i saw preferences_names like FSP4000_P527_R6281510839654570_SORT , I'm not sure how this name is formed.
I'm using generic columns for that complex report (which has a flexible number of columns shown), and the idea is that sometimes I have to overwrite that sort column, in case the user chose the version of the report with fewer columns than the previous one.
Can I get (using API) a list of all preferences set for some user ?
Thank you,

seems that it is FSP<app_number>P<pagenumber>R<regionnumber>_SORT.
is there anyplace where I can get these kind of things documented ?
Thank you.

Using Azure internal load balancer (ILB) for Sql Reporting Services

I am attempting to implement a scale-out SSRS deployment using the Azure ILB feature. I have created 2 Sql Reporting servers using the azure images and have created a ILB endpoint on both servers. I am then attempting to access the servers via the
ILB from my .Net web application. I can access the report server from my browser and am prompted for credentials using forms authentication. there is no issue accessing the reports from a browser however my web application cannot access the reports
and returns a 500 error. I have a hunch this is due to an authentication issue due to invalid kerberos proxy authentication.
Does anyone have any information regarding the possible authentication mechanisms that are supported using Azure ILB?

Thanks for the response Swallow0417, but as I stated I already had configured this to work in a browser. I should have mentioned that I already had set the machine key and altered the rsreportserver.config file as mentioned in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281307.aspx.
It turns out this was due to the extended data validation that was introduced in SQL 2014.
This page led me to alter rsreportserver.config so that:
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>Off</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>Any</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>
After restarting the report server service my application now can make the requests for the reports successfully. I'll provide the other steps I took to hopefully help someone else in the future:
1. Create 2 or more SQL servers in an Azure availability group on the same service in a Reports server scale out deployment. The SSRS Service account must be a domain account or it will not work
2. Create an Azure ILB using powershell and add the endpoints on your http(s) ports on the server in step 1. I also set the endpoint IdleTimeoutInMinutes to 30 on both endpoints as it seemed like there was some possible timeout issues. the endpoint MUST
also have DirectServerReturn Set to $true
3. disable the loopbackcheck see method 2 here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861
create a DWORD registry key value 1,
DisableLoopbackCheck,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
4. Configure View state validation by setting an identical machine key on all servers behind the azure ILB
5. Create a Host record in your AD DNS for the Azure ILB IP Address.
6. configure hostname
and URLRoot in rsreportserver.config - see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281307.aspx
Setting the hostname tag breaks the report manager url. It is only
required to set the URLRoot tag. I do not think it is required in this configurtaion only for Windows
NLB
6. Configure the authentication method in rsreportserver.conig
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>Off</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>Any</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>

Customising Discover plus for olap UI

Hi all,
I'm using Discover Plus with an OLAP data source and would like to customise the interface such that:
- The Query Pane window is switched on by default
- When creating a new report the "crosstab" radio button is highlighted by default (usually it's the crosstab and graph)
I realise that these are easy to change in the user interface itself, but I'd like to set their initial status when Discoverer starts - we're going to be rolling this out to around 500 users soon and these small changes will make life easier for everyone.
I suspect the answer lies in modifying one of the middle tier files, but having looked in pref.txt I can find nothing which relates to my requirements.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark...

Look for it in:
http://acidweb.ts.infn.it/oradoc/ias902/bi.902/a95458/conf_fil.htm#635592
There's a list of Discoverer configuration files. Hope this helps.

Use iPhone 6 or 6 plus for reading documents

Can we use the built-in Row fetch for Multiple reports in a page?

I need to create a page with multiple report regions. Each of it is based on a table. Those tables are different. I somewhat remembered that we can NOT use the built in automatic row fetch process if there are multiple report regions, neither the built in DML process. You have to make your own fetch and insert/update/delete process if you intend to.
Also if I write my own row fetch and update processes, do I have to consider lock mechnism? or just simply write select and insert/update?
Any input is appreciated.

I think I found the answer. Would Scott or other gurus take a look at the thread and confirm it, in case the limitation is not in 2.0?
Re: automatic row fetch
What I am concered about is that the locking mechanism. If I have to write my own process to fetch and insert/update, other than the regular select and insert/update statements, do I have to put commit by myself, or htmldb can handle it automatically? Is there an example for this?
Thanks in advance.

How to use p_mainsearch parameter in basic search for a report with bind variable?

Hello,
I'd like to extend the basic-search in content-area elements to extra records in my own tables.
So I'd like to use the p_mainsearch-urlparameter (which holds the searchtext of a basic search) into a bind variable of my own report. My report will be on an extra tab on the search-page.
Especially I don't know how to transfer the value of p_mainsearch into the bind variable of the report.
Has anyone done that so far?
Example?
Thank you,
Joerg

I found out the following way:
1.)Report
1.1)SQL-Query:
select * from <owner>.<tablename> where UPPER(column) like '%'||UPPER(NVL(:searchtext,'abczyx123098'))||'%'
(Note: bind variable is :searchtext).
1.2)in "before displaying page"-section in "additional plsql" add the following:
if length(get_value('p_mainsearch')) >= 3 then
portal30.wwv_name_value.replace_value(
l_arg_names, l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.searchtext,
portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(get_value('p_mainsearch')));
end if;
1.3) publish as portlet
2.) Integrate the report-portlet into a new tab on search page. Run basic search.
Change to the tab with the portlet.
For me it is solved.
Joerg.

Using Web Service a Data Source for my Report

Hi All,
I'm trying to use a Web service as a PDS for my Oracle9ias reports.
I have a few questions on this.
1) Can the webservice Return a Complex data type e.g java.util.Vector? If Yes, How does the report extract data frm the Vecor?
2) If the first option isn't feasible, Can I go for a array of objects as return values provided those objects are serializable?Again how would the report extract data from array of objects?
3) OR is it advisable to go for Document style web service that returns me an XML document?
Regards,
Ritesh

Disco Plus OLAP - Client Hardware Requirements

Hi,
We've just started experimenting with Disco Plus for OLAP and have built a MOLAP cube. In there are 51,000 customers, 12 order types, 80,000 activities and about 1000 dates, with one measure - Revenue. If I have my calculations correct, we're knocking on 81.6 Billion records just for that alone.
With this sheer weight of data involved, are there any hardware recommendations any forum member might like to suggest for a desktop client that will access Disco Plus OLAP to create and manage reports?
At the moment I'm running on a Core Duo laptop (2Ghz) with 1.25GB of memory - is this sufficient, or should I consider moving to an actual desktop machine rather than a laptop? What about memory? Should I basically seek the best available machine?
Thanks,
Andy

With that amount of detail, I'd suspect network speed and server memory are going to be more of an issue than client speed. If you are planning on running million row result sets in Relational or OLAP, you might be waiting awhile.
