Wanted: Oracle Technical Editor for Discoverer Handbook

Hello everyone
I am addressing this to Oracle employees.
I have been tasked by Oracle Press to update the Discoverer Handbook from 10g to 11g. We need to have a technical editor from within Oracle to validate content and correct any mistakes or invalid statements.
If you work within Oracle and would be willing to help with this project, please email me. I will then put you in touch with the editors at McGraw-Hill. They will then handle everything going forwards.
Best wishes

  • Required Oracle FND tables for Discoverer Install (Oracle App user)

    Hi does anyone know of set documentation or, via SQL Trace, which existing tables Discoverer looks for when setting up an EUL? For instance, our install requires you select the Oracle Apps User Schema and put in the password for that schema where your FND tables reside.
    Assuming some are missing in our current setup, what would be required in order for Discoverer to work in conjunction with the Oracle applications roles and responsibilities, etc.
    I found this list in Discoverer documentation and confirmed I know have that setup correctly with proper grants, etc.. The EUL is created but does return an error of "Table or View does not Exist" which can be passed over and you can proceed into the EUL - but there is an error upon logging into EUL.
    grant select on FND_USER to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_APPLICATION to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_USER_RESPONSIBILITY to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_ORACLE_USERID to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_DATA_GROUP_UNITS to &EULOWNER
    This is Discoverer 10g and Oracle 10g database.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Rod,
    I have confirmed that the Discoverer Administrator Responsibility has Administration, Desktop & Plus privelages.
    Furthermore, the account I am trying to login as - DSCADMIN has those permissions and is assigned that responsibility as well.
    It should be noted that when logging into the EUL as the DSCADMIN account, it prompts me to create a new EUL as one does not exist....however under the EUL ADMIN account (where the EUL was created), it recognizes the EUL since it is the owner.
    Am I missing something further - I've been through the documentation several times and can't figure this out - I have continually made progress but then hit a speed bump each time.
    It should also be noted that DSCADMIN is a database user schema account and also an Apps user as well - but this is how it was setup in our old enviornment so I wouldn't think this would make a difference.

  • SMARTFORMS - want to Change Editor - For 'Code'

    Dear Friends,
    I can work on Report & Screen efficiently.
    But, I learned Smartforms as Trial & Error - also developed a few.
    For Smartforms - In 'Code' - I have to write no. of lines ( a lengthy code).
    Is it possible u2013 to change the editor (like u2018textu2019) or display the Code in full page.
    Thanking you in anticipation
    Regards,
    Ashlesha

    HI,
    If you want to change the code of smartform, Open the smartform and go to Global Definitions -> then click on initialization tab. Click on pencil button to change it to write mode.
    Alternatively,
    After activating the Smartform, Go to Menu -> Environment -> Function Module Name ->Click.
    Copy the name of the FM including slash. open SE37 and paste the FM name to display the source code of the Smartforms.
    Hope it will help you.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Match of Oracle Discoverer Handbook w/ 9i version of Discoverer?

    Hi.
    How does Armstrong-Smith's Oracle Discoverer Handbook (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0072126353/qid=1042581573/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-8595244-9204917?v=glance&s=books) match up with the newest version? Is it still useable, or has the UI or architecture changed in such a way that the book is obsolete?

    1.Goto discoverer Plus configruation.
    2.Goto Logo change the option button from None to File and Choosed the .jpg file from C:\Logos.
    3.Restarted the application server.
    4.Open the BI plus reports in IE. But still I am seeing the same Oracle Logo only.
    5.But whatever the look and feel like plastic/system/oracle I changed I am able to see the changes.
    6.The logo change is not as simple as I thought??. I need to create Jar on this logo and I need to put the jar file in java /j2ee directory???.
    Thanks,

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • Query retrieval limit for discoverer reports in oracle applications

    Hi,
    I would like to set the query retrieval limit for discoverer reports in oracle applications. Can i have the steps for the same?
    Cheers
    Maytas

    Hi Maytas
    As Michael said the query retrieval limit can be defined by Discoverer Administrator
    like :
    - Discoverer Administrator >> Tools >> Privilege >> Select the user that will see the workbook >> Query Governor tab and there you setup the query retrieval limit.
    Note:
    Normally if you defined the limit for the user via Discoverer Administrator it should work but i saw that this was not happened in my case when i open Viewer so i entered with my eul owner on Discoverer Plus and defined the limit for all the workbooks
    Tools >> Options >> Query Governor >> Limit Query retrieved data to

  • Can we use replication usings oracle 10g steams for EBS r12 database?

    HI,
    We are using EBS 12.0.6 and database 10.2.0.3 on linux 32-bit/64-bit OS (Multi-Node env).
    Actually We want to decrease the load of custom reports on actual production system, so thats why
    we need reports server and as my past experience I had used oracle streams for replication with simple schema based replication and tablespace replication also.
    So, please educate me, that can i used the oracle 10g streams for EBS schemas like APPS, GL ,INV, PO, ONT, ODM, AR, AP, CM etc?
    Please provide us the above related env docs and road Map.
    If you have any other way to create the Report Server?
    Regard,
    Fayaz Ahmed

    Hi,
    We are not in a position to upgrade the EBS from 12.0.6 to 12.1, because this is lengthy task, but we had already tested technically it in test env, but functional testing in pending.
    Now we want to immediate solution if possible, because this is production?
    So, please suggest another.

    If the platform is XP Prof. You have to stop the services before you de-install the modules. To complete clean up the Oracle installation, after you run the Oracle installer, you have to remove the key in Windows registery and then remove all the related directories.
    The "getting started for windows" document has a detailed instruction of how to do this (from stopping oracle services to deleting directories). I tried it at least twice, it works.
    Good luck.

    Please advice,
    Sushant

    Well, if I had to do it, here's how I'd start.
    1. Get the SQL from the Oracle Report and then create a database view that's more generic based on the SQL but still gets the answers.
    For example, you'd not code many conditions, etc. but the database view would be pointing to the correct Oracle Apps tables / views.
    Once you've got the view, bring it in to Disco Admin, etc. and create a report from it that now adds the extra conditions needed. That way you can use the underlying concept without hard coding things like dates, etc. which you would ask the user at run time.
    However ... as you may well know ... Oracle Reports can do some 'strange and/or powerful things' on the fly and, for example, it may be something like a temporary table generated for the report, etc. so may become a much bigger issue.
    2. If you have NoetixViews views then they'll most likely already have the views for these queries already created as they're reasonable for what's needed in an Oracle environment.
    3. I'd see if there is already a pre-defined BIS view that covers this as well. Again, you're in an area that's pretty popular so if a BIS view already covers much of the same info then you've got a create view 'head start' already. Check views owned by Apps starting with the application plus FV or FG (the one you'd really want) such as: GLFG_Budgets_To_Actuals to see what I mean.
