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 :

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.

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.

Installing BI Discoverer Plus for multidimensional OLAP ?

Hi there,
it seems I really need to ask for help after getting lost in the forest that Oracle Software is. I hope my question is not too bothersome to people on this forum. So here's the situation:
I have an Oracle 11g database on a CentoOS server, with OLAP option. I have created a simple star schema from my data and an analytical worksheet (although not without pain, there's another thread about that). Now I wish to access the OLAP data through a tool on my Windows XP workstation and be able to manipulate the data to create reports. My goal is to create a small demo to help convincing our client that OLAP reports is the way to go to play with their data, create custom reports, etc. In fact what I'd like to do is to play with the OLAP model like I used to a few years ago when I was using Business Objects as as client, I think they called it Universe Management or something. The thing is you get your model elements (measures, levels, attributes, etc) as icons in a palette and you can drag&drop them on a worksheet to dynamically create reports, crosstabs, etc. That was very nice and accessible to almost any user.
Now my question: what piece of Oracle software should I install on each machine to be able to do that ? I tried with Oracle Client BI Tools on XP but this seems to only include Discoverer "classic" or whatever, that only manipulates relational data. I think I need Discoverer "plus", but where is it located ? This is what I found on the website: "OracleBI Discoverer can be installed from the Oracle Business Intelligence CD". Well ok, but which CD ? There seems to be several of them, like Oracle BI EE, Oracle BI SE, Oracle BI SE One, Oracle BI Tools, etc. Additionaly do I really need to install a full-blown Application Server on the CentOS system to access Discoverer Plus ? This frightens me a bit, you know, I'm aiming for a small demo with two or three tables, I'd be thankful not to have to spend a whole week installing a web infrastrucutre for that.
Well this all looks somewhat confusing, so I thought I'd be better off asking those who know, hence my post. Again I hope this doesn't sound to bothersome.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Gareth and all,
in fact I have installed the "Oracle BI Tools" for windows (as_windows_x86_bi_tools_101202.zip) which give me access to
- Oracle Discoverer Administrator
- Oracle Discoverer Desktop
However according to the [Discoverer documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13917_03/1intro.htm] these are not the tools I'm looking for; as it says : "if you want to create new worksheets and analyze data from both relational and multi-dimensional data sources across the Web, you will use Discoverer Plus". As it seems, Discoverer Desktop only accesses relational data through an EUL, I really would like to play with my OLAP cube, because I'm intending to create a demo of what will eventually be a much larger OLAP system.
So I'm still desperately looking for Discoverer "Plus". From the page you indicate I had already installed not the full AS but the "Business Intelligence" CD, which is supposed to include Discoverer (as indicated in the 'Included" list). I did a "complete" install, however I'm still unable to locate anything ressembling Discoverer. I have Publisher, Dashboard, Delivers, Marketing, Disconnected Analytics... There's Answers that might be similar to Discoverer, but it looks like a whole different beast and much more demanding (like I'm not even able to figure out how to define a new data source). Well I was hoping to be able to view my tiny cube in a few clicks and "Discoverer Plus OLAP" looked like the right tool for that.
So the next step might be to install the full AS, however it'll take the whole week-end to merely download the 4 CDs. And will it include Discoverer PLus in the end, or am I getting to come back empty-handed again ? Well this is all getting a bit discouraging, please if anyone here knows a convenient way to end up graphically manipulating an OLAP cube and creating simple reports from it please advise ! :-)
Anyway thanks all for your support,
Chris

I want to send emails using Discovere Plus.

Hi,
I want to send email using discoverer plus. I know i can send using discoverer viewer but i do not want to use the discoverer view for the same.
Can any one tell me how to send a report in excel format via email in discoverer plus.
We have the send option under File menu in discoverer desktop but not in discoverer plus.
Thanks in advance
Ahmed

That would have to be a product enhancement. With our upcoming integration with BI Publisher and with Delivers (part of the BI Suite Enterprise Edition) we believe this requirement should be met. Please look out for more announcements and details on these functionalities.

Oracle discoverer ver 9.0.2.39.02 - Error While using discoverer plus

Hi,
I have installed oracle 9i discoverer ver 9.0.2.39.02 and while tyring to use Discoverer Plus (http://ip:port/discoverer/plus)
I get error when creaating a workbook using workbook wizard, if i go thru the steps 1 to 10 It just does'nt do anything when i click Finish. At the same time
If i click Finish on the Table layout screen immediately after selecting the items it generates the worksheet
what could be the reason for me unable to generate the worksheet.
Create / edit Business Privilege is granted to the user.
can anybody help me.
Thanks

Hi
But Desktop is not the product that you reported the error on, you said that Plus was giving you the problem.
Desktop generally has far fewer issues that Plus because it is a client-based tool and I would expect it to work fine in Desktop.
Have you ever had 9.0.2 Plus working as you describe or have you recently installed it? Either way, I strongly recommend upgrading your Discoverer Plus to the version in my previous reply.
By the way, I think you will find that most people rapidly got off 9.0.2 as soon as 9.0.4 came out which was 10g Release 1. If you look on my blog: http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/ you will see a couple of surveys that were conducted earlier this year. The top one indicates that only 4% of Discoverer sites are using 9.0.2. Of those I would suggest most will be on the 54 release which really was quite stable.
You will fnd it really hard to get help if you stay on the 39 release because there are so few folks around who have it installed.
Best wishes

To visualize the report created using Discoverer Plus 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

Hi,

How do i view silverlight/moonlight content using firefox 6 for linux?

In firefox 7.0.1 for linux the moonlight add-on is not compatible.
Is there another way to view silverlight/moonlight/netflix content?

Thanks for that; I have done all that you suggested and moonlight successfully installed.
Unfortunately in my case it does not operate normally, all I get is a blank white screen.
Being a bit of a novice, I have probably done something stupid. :-(

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:

There's a list of Discoverer configuration files. Hope this helps.

Third Party Tool using OLE DB for OLAP

We have built a query in BEx 7.0 Query Designer and released for access via OLE DB for OLAP to Cog nos 8 Repor Designr.
I am trying to see the SQL/MDX code Cog nos is sending to BW to retrieve data. Is there a way to see what BW gets from Cog nos report on the BW side? Just to clarify, getting this info for the BW query executing without the 3rd party tool is not useful, because we dont have any issues running the BEx query, however 3pty tool gets back bad data. Specifically when using a query with a BEx reusable structure.
I have further details on the design of the query, however I am trying not to create a very long and messy thread with unnecessary info. Please ask if those details are necessary to understand the issue.

Here is a little more info on how the query is setup and why I think it is having a problem.....
Query has Two Structures....
Rows:
Reusable Structure (Without Key Figures) with 20 Rows (selections and formulas) defining each line of a Financial Statement. Structure Name is "XYZ Statement"
Colums:
Reusable Structure (With Key Figures) with 3 Columns (05/2007 Actuals, 05/2007 Plan, Variance). Structure Name is "Comparison"
Free Characteristics:
GL Account
Cost Center
Other Char...
What Cognos 8 sees in the package:
In Cognos, Structure "XYZ Statement" appears as a regular dimension, the same way Free Characteristics do. The Structure "Comparison" appears as a Key Figure, aka Measure.
How the Cognos Report is built in Report Studio:
If the report is built NOT using the dimension "XYZ Statement", regardless of whatever Free Characteristics you use from the query as a datasource, you will not get any data, however it works fine when the "XYZ Statement" dimension is used.
What I think the problem is:
I am thinking all Cognos reports build off this package MUST use the dimension "XYZ Statement" (aka Reusable Characteristic Structure in BW), other wise the query does not return any data.
How I am trying to validate this theory:
Query is the datasource for Cognos. Executing RSRT only allows me to get details on the query execution via BW, however since the Cognos report is not returning correct data, I am trying to see what the Cognos Report is passing back to BW, to understand/validate what I think is the issue. If this is just the way it works, then I want to validate and move on.

Newbie who want to use Java API for OLAP

Pin object using scroll motion (for mobile website)

I want to pin an object in a specific position. But since the pin option is not available for phone website I was wondering how can I do this using scroll motions.

Hi
Apply scroll to the object with no field value for movement which would fix that no page.
Thanks,

List Views displaying error - when using Lookup column for filtering ( which are indexed )

I'm trying to filter a large list that has more items than the list view threshold. The list has a lookup column that is indexed. If I try to filter by other columns, the view works fine as long as it returns fewer than 5,000 items. However, if
I try to filter by the lookup column, I get the error about not being able to display the items because the list is too large.
The views are returning items which are less than threshold value , but still I am seeing the same issue.I Created some pages and added this filtered views to the pages it is showing below error
This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold ....
IF I navigate the view in the list it's returning zero records with out any error page . But no records.
Is there a known issue with filtering large lists by lookup column? Any other troubleshooting suggestions? Everything I'm doing here is through the web interface.

Thank you for your reply. Yeah it’s default limit. But when I created view based on some filter condition on lookup column it’s not working.
For example:
Created a View based on Lookup column DEPT using filter condition Dept = HR , returned 1400 items
Created another View based on Lookup column DEPT using filter condition Dept=Admin , returned 3600 items
Adding this list view webparts to the page also working fine , displaying the results .
After adding one item to this list , both the views are not displaying any results. Now the count is 5001.(it exceeded the list view threshold)
The page where the list view web parts are added throwing the below error.
This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator.
To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create views for this list, ask your administrator to modify
the view so that it conforms to the list view threshold.
Learn about
creating views for large lists.
I am experiencing this problem only with lookup columns, Choice and site columns are working fine in this same situation .
Thanks,
