View Reports file in Discoverer

It's possible to view reports created with Oracle Reports 9i in Discoverer Viewer9i or Plus? How?
Thank you
Marco

Not directly but Desktop has an 'Import SQL' function which you could use to pull in the query from Reports. There are limitations on what sort of query can be imported though.

Discoverer Viewer Configuration File

Hi,
There is a scenario where in, most of the users use Discoverer viewer reports from the same login ID, They do changes and save the Workbook. Now when a new user logins he see the changes saved by the previous user . Now we dont want to allow the users to save changes and want to change the config setting so that no user can do any changes.
As per my unerstanding, one way of doing so it by login to application server and Uncheck the preference check box and save the changes. Doing this the preference tab will not be visible to any user.
Want to know is there any other way by which preference tab can be Disabled but still can be seen on the right corner of the viewer page?
Or is there a way we can change the configuration setting in any of the config file of discoverer viewer so that users are not able to change the setting...
Discoverer version is 10g.
Thank You.

Anuj Malhotra

Hi Michael,
The Scenario is like, most of the users use Viewer only to access reports.
The main aim right now is to some how not allow users to change the settings whcih they change using the preference tab or presentation options.
I checked it the config document of Discoverer viewer and found:
The Steps to remove Preference tab or presentation options in Oracle Application Server Discoverer Configuration Guide
10g (9.0.4) are as follows:
1. Open the ui_config.xml file in a text editor or XML editor
2. Locate the <appearance> tag in the file
change the value of the display_preferences_link tag to false
change the value of the display_presentation_options_link tag to false
3. Save the ui_config.file
But I didnt not find the steps to remove the preference tab or presentation option using Configuration.xml file in Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Configuration Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1 ).
It was mentioned that to remove the presentation option in 10g version we need to login to Oracle Application server and uncheck the preference tab Option.
Want to know is that the only way of removing presentation options or preference tab from 10g Version or something can be done from configuration.xml file also.

Anuj Malhotra.

Discoverer Reporting time in Discoverer view /plus

Hi I am running reports in the Discoverer View. Some reports are taking more than expected time. I want to know exact time taken by the reports. IS there any tables that storing Execution time for Discoverer reports like start time and end time for the report.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can turn on statistics collection and then look in the EUL5_QPP_STATS table for the start time and duration of all the workbooks run on the system.

Discoverer Viewer Report in Web

Hi,
I had created the report usingOracleBI Discoverer Plus Version 10.1.2.45.46c & able to visualize the report in OracleBI Discoverer Viewer Version 10.1.2.45.46c.
URL fo accessing the report is as:
http://machinename1:7777/discoverer/viewer
If i try to connect to from another machine (machine2) as
http://machinename1:7777/discoverer/viewer
i'm unable to connect & i get the error page can not be displayed.
Is it necessary to have the URL only with domain name as
http://machinename.domainname:portno/discoverer/viewer
I had already installed OWB, Oracle BI etc. If i had to create a domain then i have install all these & need to work from scratch.
Is there any way to access the report across the internet or web.
Plz do provide a solution for this issue.
Thx in Advance

As long as you can access the middle-tier server where Discoverer Viewer is running, you should be able to run and view Discoverer worksheets.
While it is difficult to even start guessing what the problem might be, if the machine you installed Discoverer on has DHCP addressing, you will run into problems.
Thanks

Hi Aditya,
Thanks for your reply.
I am using Enterprise edition of SharePoint 2013 only. SQL Server 2012 SP1.
I have configured Reporing Services also successfully. I got "Reporting" folder in "15" hive location "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices"
SSRS Service application also i have created success in CA Manage Service Application.
I have done "Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint" also which is "rsSharePoint.msi".
What should i do apart from this? Can you tell me. Its frustrating like anything.
I have added the "PowerPivot" excel in "PowerPivot Gallery" and clicked the icon "Create Power View Report"
Thanks in Advance.

Discoverer Viewer(4i) to run Discoverer-reports(10g) with Apps(11.5.0)

We are running Discoverer Viewer(4i) to run Discoverer-Workbooks(10g) with Apps(11.5.0) but we are facing error like 'Unable to fetch workbook' .I guess this is b'coz EUL created in 10g not getting compatible with 4i Discoverer Viewer.
If this is the problem what is my next step?
Can anyone plz help me in detail.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You would need to upgrade everything to the same level if you want to open Discoverer 10g workbooks. This means your EUL will need to be upgraded and you will need to abandon the 4i server and upgrade to the 10g server.
I would encourage you to do so anyway because 10g is much better than 4i.
Best wishes

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

Crystal report ( how to create a hyper link for the crystal report file)

hello all,
how to create a hyperlink for my report file....nd i want it open in excel format.

Hello Uher,
sorry for the insufficient details,
actually we are calling some actuate reports from actuate server, and the URL looks like this
"https://iconsole.xxx.com/iconsole/viewer/viewreport.jsp?
outputFileType=XLSX&fromwhere=viewDocument&outputName=
/filelocation/ReportOutputs/Reportname.xlsx&serverurl
=http://xx.xxx.com:8010&volume=xxx&userid=xxx&password=xxx"
which would generate an excel output,
my question is, can we have some url in which we would specify the output format, as far my research i found URL reporting
some thing like this
"http://" + servername +
":8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?outputfiletype=xlsx/
filelocation/userlogondetails
but my client needs an excel output, with out going through any web page or viewer controls and generating buttons.
Thank you

Power View RDLX File Format - Connect to Source in SharePoint

I am currently trying to Open (and Edit) a Power View Report which i create on Excel, on my System, and then Upload with the workbook on SharePoint.
I have followed the following Tutorial in Order to accomplish this:
Configure Excel Services data refresh - External Data Source
After doing so, i was able to succesfully open my First Sheet (Power Pivot Sheet) from the Excel Workbook which i had uploaded, i noticed something about a Trusted File Location with the Excel Service on Central Admin (SharePoint) one had to Configure, i
did that as well,
but whenever i press the Power View Sheet, i get the following Error Message:
(-Used to get this error for the PowerPivot Sheet as well, but that got fixed after solving everything as said in the Tutorial, but it still remains whenever i open the Power View Sheet)
Which basically reads:
Error while refreshing external Data
The Data Connection File used
in the Workbook
DataSource.odc
Does not provide for a
Trusted Storing Location.
Error refreshing data from
TabularModel (Basically the Connection Name of the Connection created in Excel (and afterwards exported as DataSource.odc on SharePoint)
At least one Data Connection
in this Workbook could
not be refreshed, the following
Connection could not be refreshed
TabularModel
Has anybody ever been able to Upload a Power View Report, Created on Excel, to SharePoint, and connect that to a External Datasource ?
in the MSDN Tutorial, they said this was possible through this exported .ODC Connection file, but it only work good for PowerPivot and other Excel stuff, not Power View
Thanks a lot for your Help in Advance, always deeply appreciated

Interesting. Please review this documentation and see if it helps:

A failure occurred while the server was processing report file

Hi All,
I keep getting this error while opening the report in Infoview, "A failure occurred while the server was processing report file".
I checked Event viewer there i have lot of errors with the same message and the source is "BusinessObject_crproc".
Please advise me what i have to do to resolve the issue.
Environment: BOXI3.1, CR2008, Windows Server 2003
Thanks
Sudharsan.

We got this error message on a report that had 5 subreports, 3 of which were based on stored procedures. The report was running fine in our Dev environment and in the CR developer, but not when we published it to another environment. The problem was caused because the stored procedures had been changed in Dev (so that they ran correctly) but these changes had not been released to the other environment. Once the scripts were run to update the stored procedures the report ran successfully. So it apepars that the problem was because the stored procedure/s the subreports were using were failing, but we only got the RCIRAS0546 error message.

Having trouble opening Crystal Report files from a document library

I am trying to open Crystal Report .rpt files from a document library in either the native, client Crystal Reports software or in Crystal Reports Viewer. When I add the Crystal Report files to a document library and attempt to open them SharePoint displays
a prompt asking me to save the file locally instead of opening the file. I have done a lot of research online and found several sites discussing similar scenarios, however, I have not been able to get these solutions to work. Here is a short list of sites
I have referenced for possible solutions:
http://naadydev.blogspot.com/2013/03/crystal-report-viewer-sharepoint-2010.html?showComment=1383339860122
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/52aabf2d-10dc-424c-bd50-124fc972a9b9/crystal-report-viewer-integration-with-sharepoint-2010?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/42731/Crystal-Reports-WebPart-for-SharePoint
Here are the steps I have done to try to get the .rpt files to open:
Added the Crystal Report extension .rpt as a MIME type
Installed the Visual Studio 2012 Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar
Installed the 64-bit Crystal Reports runtime
I have also created a solution file based off the Code Project site which partially works, but not quite right. In this project I have created a document library called "Crystal Reports rpt Files" and deployed the solution file to a site. When
I open the Web Part Maintenance Toolbar I can see the selected .rpt file in the drop-down, but no Crystal Report file is displayed on the page itself.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Does anyone have experience working with Crystal Reports and SharePoint 2013 (or earlier versions) that could lend some advice?
Thank you,
Alex

We are having the exact same issue, has anyone resolved this yet?

Viewing reports with Drill Down option

Hi all, here is the complaint that we received:
Please try to find a means to help!
When I’m in my Report and when in an account and I go to a deal to alter or look at it, when I return to reports I always am driven back to the top of the report file. If I’m in December and looking at the entire year I have to go through all accounts once again to get to the same starting point. A great irritant. I can’t help but think that there is a better way.
Anyone know if this can be changed? Thank you in advance!!!

Sorry, let me explain...
The problem isn't with the report, they have issues with what happens after you drill down into the account from the report and go back to the report.
When they go back to the report after adjusting the account/opp it doesn;t go back to what they were looking at, the view will go to the top of the report. Say they were looking at Account #100 out of 250 (250 total accounts in the report), if they drill down into account 100 and then go back to the report they will be taken back to account #1.
Is that more clear?
What they want is to be able to go back to the view of Account #100.
