Window Sizing for Discoverer Desktop -- version 10.1.2.45.46c

I have something weird happening now with Discoverer desktop. I can only use it in Maximized screen mode. This just happened a few days ago.
Any suggestions

Did actually figure this out. These are the basic steps :
Minimized the screen
Clicked Alt and spacebar (this pops up a menu).
Selected Move.
Using cursor keys I arrowed down and right a couple of times (cursor starts in top left)
Then I clicked on screen and the Desktop window showed up. I resized to where I wanted it.
Did this process a couple of times until when I opened up a new window it came up to the size I wanted.

Discoverer desktop version

I created the worksheet using oracle discoverer desktop version in report developer suite.How can i publish it to the web?

In the Desktop version did you save your workbook to the database? There's an option to save to Database and after you do that you can share the workbook to other users. Once that is done, authorized users can view the workbook through Discoverer Plus or Viewer.

Default Excel for Discoverer Desktop

I have searched through the forum but never really found an answer for changing the defalut excel for Discoverer Desktop. We are using 10.2.2.45.45c. When exporting to excel it defaults to Mircrosolft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook. We need it to default to Excel 2003 or later this year to Mircosoft Excel 2013.
Is there a registry setting somewhere I can add ?
We have a several excel files that are produced by command line and this is starting to cause us some grief.

The administrator is a client-tool, installed from the bi-tools cd. The default url for viewer/plus looks like http://<server>:<port, default 7778>/discoverer/plus or /viewer. When you don't run in applications mode (for Oracle eBS) then you can use db-accounts to logon to Discoverer, in the Administrator logon with the EUL-owner, go to manage->privileges and give certain db-accounts the privilige to query/create workbooks and manage access to one or more business areas.

Firefox for Android won't remember menu setting for "load desktop version" ("Last ned desktop-sider"n norwegian)

Have tried this on both release, beta and nightly versions.
Also have problem with AdBlock Plus and AdBlock Edge settings.
Some settings are not saved, and there is no way to edit filter list or add an image/ad from right-click menu
(but I guess that question is better asked in the AdBlock groups :-)

But why doesn't Firefox remember this setting?
Most pads have similar resolution to desktop PCs.
And then one would want desktop-pages all the time.
A bit unnecessary to have to install a plug-in for that.

I cannot open visualizer in window mode for the new version of iTunes 11.0.

Hi,
I used to turn on the visualizer in window mode. But since I updated to iTunes 11.0, the visualizer can only be turned on in full screen mode. People said that double-click on a playlist or right-click to show "open in a new window" should work. However, double-click on playlist only allows me to rename the playlist and I didn't find a option of "open in a new window" in right-click pop-up menue as well. Any help?
Thanks,

Hey,
I had actually been wondering the same thing as all I ever read is the old way, of hitting Cmd (Cntrl)+F to enter / exit Fullscreen Moide. Upon reading the Help section in Itunes regarding Shortcuts I discovered that this is now changed to hitting:
Command (Control) + Shift + F .
Hope that helps you or anyone who wasn't aware it changed and was hopelessly stuck in Fullscreen Mode as I was for the past few weeks.

Discoverer Desktop installation fails on Windows 7

Hi All,
We are installing Discoverer Desktop version 10.1.2.00 on Windows 7 32-bit version 6.1, runing the setup.exe gives error
ERROR:
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements....
Checking operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 Actual 6.1
Failed <<<<
Exiting Oracle Universal Installer
Is Dis Desktop 10.1.2.00 on Windows 7 ? any additional patched to be applied?
Kindly suggest
Thanks
SK

You can install Discoverer using XP SP2 compatibility mode. Right click the install.exe file and go to the compatibility tab. You should be able to get it from there.
Setup should proceed as normal. You may, however, get an error when trying to login to Discoverer. I am still confounded with this error;
Failed to connect to database - ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION.
Since Discoverer is not certified with Windows 7, good luck trying to find a solution. I have been working on the problem for days now without any luck.

Oracle Discoverer Desktop Report output showing unicode characters

Hi,
Oracle Discoverer Desktop 4i version Report output showing the below unicode characters.
kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
We ran the same query in sql at that time the data showing correctly.
Please let me know, is there any language settings/ NLS settings are need to set
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_BIToolsHome_1
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry

USING DISCOVERER DESKTOP CAN'T EXPORT AND GET ERROR ORA-00000

we use a win 2000 server to export discoverer reports by command-line methods.In the past ,everything is ok. But from last week , we found some reports always keep in export phase and can't export anything, also with ora-00000 error.
there are 2 things should be mentioned:
1. in the past , these reports can export without any error
2. we can export the same reports normally on another server(but we don't want to change server for some reason)
I know Oracle suggest we update to discoverer 10g, but it can't tell me why another client can export normally
so where is the cause?
Discoverer Desktop version - 4.1.46.08.00
EBS version - 11.5.9

Hi
Presumably you have tried rebooting?
If you have windows updates set to automatic it is possible that one of the recently applied updates has done this.
Best wishes

Where is Discoverer Desktop installation disks?

I already have Oracle Application Server 10g installed on Windows and have been using Oracle Portal. Now I want to explore Oracle Discoverer.

I have searched oracle.com, but cannot find a download for Oracle Discoverer Desktop nor Admin.
Where do I find these tools?

Hi,
It should be the following:

The Oracle Discoverer Desktop and Oracle Discoverer Administrator are included in a product known as:

and they are available only to Windows platform...., at least till 10g version....

Discoverer Desktop (4)- Receiving error Attempt to Open Workbook Failed

Hi,
The reason for this error is multiple people are opening same workbook. This has never been a problem before as the user would receive message: "Open Workbook as Read Only..."
Now they only get the message: "Attempt to Open Workbook Failed."
We have tested here and have determined it is not a generell issue because we have the problem only on two workstations.
I check the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER for diffenerence between the workstations but without any success.
There is no file access problem
Any idea?
Thx
Arnd

Hi all,
We are having exactly the same problem. I've come to the point that there's a problem between Discoverer Desktop 4i and XP SP3.
The scenario we have is:
a) If an user with SP2 creates a workbook and saves it into the network shared folder,
a.1) It can be opened by users with SP2 as many times as the want. They just receive the "Open Workbook as Read Only" warning message.
a.2) Users with SP3 can open it only if the workbook is not open by any other user. After that all users receive the "Attempt to Open..." error message.
a.3) If a user with SP3 makes any change to the workbook and saves it, it doesn't matter which SP version you have, the file becomes "corrupt" and only one user can open it at the same time.
b) If an user with SP3 creates a workbook and saves it into the network shared folder it can only be opened by one user at the same time
I've also made tests and the same error occurs if the .dis file is located in a local directory (c:\My Documents for example). I can not open it twice in my computer in two different discoverer desktop instances, and I have SP3, while another user with SP2 can.
Any ideas? Our Discoverer Desktop version is 4.1.48.06.00
Regards.

Discoverer Desktop 9i - how to find worksheet id

Hi,
I'm using Oracle9i Discoverer Desktop version 9.0.2.0.0.
I miss some information to create the url needed to launch the workbook from internet explorer.
The url is composed in this way:
http://DNS/discoverer/viewer?nlsl=it-it&cn=connection_acronym&wb=workbook&wsk=worksheetID&qp_param1...
I don't know how to get the worksheet ID, can somebody help me?
Is there any other standard way to compose the url?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
I think you will be unlucky because I don't know of a way to get this information in 9i. Even in 10g R2 you cannot get at this information from within Desktop. You have to use Plus.
To find out the unique ID of a worksheet in Discoverer 10.1.2 Plus:
1.Start a Web browser.
2. Run Discoverer Plus and open the worksheet.
3. Choose Edit | Worksheet Properties to display the Worksheet Properties dialog.
4.Display the General tab and look at the value in the Identifier field.
With regards to looking at the options for the URL, take a look at chapter 8 of the 9iAS Discoverer Configuration Guide:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/A95458_02/urlstart.htm#1004903
I hope this helps

None. Discoverer Desktop is a client-server product available on Microsoft Windows.
The web versions of Discoverer - Plus and Viewer - are available on additional platforms.

The latest desktop version is a downgrade

agree with all of you guys... i also have a terrible issue... when i select a song in my main playlist the title doesnt mach with the song selected, progam show next song instead of the selected one.... no words

After updating Spotify on Windows today, here's a list of things about the latest version I consider disimprovements:
- column widths are not adjustable anymore (Why? Just why?)
- the "Play" and "Plus" buttons left to the "SONG" column in front of every song are a waste of space to me and should be concealable
- waste of space in general (Why has the gray bar on top with the search bar in it become so big?)
- everything is too big (I'm aware of the new zoom feature, I mean everything around the playlist window) --> the spaces between everything
(I have a normal screen resolution of 1920x1080 and still find that the gaps between buttons and text take too much space)
- there's no search feature in playlists anymore
--> I used to be able to hit any letter on my keyboard and I would jump to a certain track (also depending on which column I sorted the tracks by); this and a search feature/filter with ctrl+f should be standard
I'm on version 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd
Less is not more when it comes to usability on PC. This rule of thumb may apply on smartphones and tablets but it's wrong to conclude that PC users want zero options, too. The layout for the desktop version should be way more functional (at least as much as it used to be).
I would love as many options as possible to customize not only the layout but any feature provided.
