What are the benifits of Discoverer Drake

Hi
We are currently using App server 10g 9.0.4
One of the features we wanted was to pass parameters from Portal into Discoverer, upon speaking to Oracle they told us this was not possible in this version of Application server. They also said it may be possible in the new version (drake)
Can anyone confirm this is possible and if so whether it is a useful peice of functionality and works well

It looks like you can pass parameters to Portal with Drake. Drake is so much nicer than 9.0.4. I am hooked on the ease of use. I always wanted to easily pass parameters between worksheets and Drake makes this so easy now.

  • What are the differences between Discoverer 9i and 10g?

    Hi!
    Does Discoverer 9i Plus gives the functionality of creating 'multiple graphs' like in Discoverer 10g? What are the other differences, if there are any other prominent ones?
    Thanks and best regards,

    Hi
    Well not really. Discoverer is an end user reporting tool, providing the ability to generate high end reports, typically with a chart and drillable table. BIP is targeted at the other end of the spectrum, where Oracle Reports sits. It has some disco like capabilities but its strengths lie in generating documents e.g. invoices, POs , letters, listing reports, etc. It can also generate electronic formats, EFT, EDI, XML, etc.
    In its standalone flavor, it comes as a server component, managing users, report security, scheduling, real time reports, etc.
    So, it overlaps a little with Disco, it overlaps far more with Oracle Reports. It the strategic operational reporting solution going forward, its bundled with BIEE. BIEE being the Oracle BI product going forward. I dont think you'll find Disco shipping with BIEE.

  • What are the benifits of upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion?

    I'm looking for the benifits of upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion

    You cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion anymore. Mavericks is now the current version. Got to Apple's website to see what the features of Mavericks are, then decide if upgrading is something you should do.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • What are the DIFFERENCES between Discoverer and BI Publisher?

    Hi,
    I was asked by my manager to look into BI Publisher and give a report. Went through and the first thing that came to my mind was Oracle Discoverer.
    I don’t see any difference between the 2. Both are end user reporting tools, , with basically the same functions and options, or AM I MISSING something here???
    Surprisingly, both Discoverer and BIP are part of Oracle BI EE. So why have 2 products that basically does the same thing in BI EE??
    I would appreciate if anybody can enlighten me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    CS

  • What are the major differences b/w DTP & Infopackage

    HI Experts,
    what are the  major benifits of DTP over Infopackages????  also what are the major differences b/w them ????
    Cheers
    Swaps

    Since you are talking of DTP's, I assume you are working on BI 7
    In BI 7:
    Infopackage- is used to pull data from the source system to the PSA. PSA is compulsory in BI 7. Beyond this infopackage doesn't play any role.
    DTP: DTP's are used to transfer data from one data provider to another.
    it can be
    PSA - DSO/Cube
    Cube - CUbe
    DSO - Cube
    DSO - DSO and so on
    Hope this helps

  • What are the best practices for the RCU's schemas

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is some best practices about the RCU's schemas created with BIEE.
    I already have discoverer (and application server), so I have a metadata repository for the Application Server. I will upgrade Discoverer 10g to 11, so I will create new schema with RCU in my metada repository (MR) of the Application Server. I'm wondering if I can put the BIEE's RCU schemas in the same database.
    Basically,
    1. is there a standard for the PREFIX ?
    2. If I have multiple components of Fusion in the same Database, I will have multiples PREFIX_MDS schema ? Can they have the same PREFIX ? Or They all need to have a different prefix ?
    For exemple: DISCO_MDS and BIEE_MDS or I can have DEV_MDS and this schema is valid for both Discoverer and BIEE.
    Thank you !

    What are the best practices for exception handling in n-tier applications?
    The application is a fat client based on MVVM pattern with

    That would be to catch all exceptions at a single point in the n-tier solution, log it and create user friendly messages displayed to the user.

  • What are the pro alternatives to Compressor?

    I've been compressing a lot of material recently, mostly shot on DVCPRO HD and edited on FCP. What's been happening is that some - but surprisingly not all dissolves - are breaking up into pixels or rather blocks of pixels. The problem, as I've recently found out, has been documented here so I won't waste anyone's time agonizing over it. I'll just say that using Compression Master, Sorenson Squeeze and bitVice produced artifacts free files right off the bat.
    What's infuriating about the Compressor is that every time I try to test a short piece from the middle of the sequence, it compresses fine but then when the whole 20 min sequence is compressed the problem comes back.
    I've tried CBR, closed GOP, IP structure etc as suggested in one of the posts and it did get rid of the pixelation but I'm still not happy with the results. The picture looks a bit soft and washed out. Shockingly comparable to a well compressed random, internet downloaded DivX file that I can play on the same player. Is it the Compressor, DVDSP or the true nature of the DVCPRO HD format showing its ugly face?
    What are the professional MPEG encoders that could save me all that headache? I'd rather pay good money and finally get it done right than spend my time beta testing software that is clearly not ready for the prime time.

    Hi,
    Hope you have maintained u2018Delivery relevant billing type F2u2019 and u2018Order relevant billing type F1u2019 in the billing tab of the Sales document type in VOV8.
    If you create delivery related billing, the system will pick F2. This is controlled in Item category (VOV7). Billing relevance in Business data of Item category decides whether this is delivery related or order related. u2018Au2019 for delivery related billing; u2018Bu2019 for order related billing and so on.
    Item category is determined by this combination: Sales document type + Item cat group + usage + higher level item cat.
