Notes

The instructions in this chapter assume that the Discoverer installation is associated with an Oracle Internet Directory and with the two database schemas that Discoverer requires (the PStore and Portlet Provider schemas). If the Discoverer installation is not associated with the Oracle Internet Directory (and the PStore and Portlet Provider schemas), end users do not see the Discoverer connections page, and must enter login details directly using the Connect to Oracle BI Discoverer - Connect Directly page.
Before users can use Discoverer to analyze relational data, the database must contain a Discoverer EUL Version 5.1.x.
You can use the checkdiscoverer utility to verify a Discoverer configuration and report on failures or anomalies (for more information about the checkdiscoverer utility, see Section 11.2, "What is the checkdiscoverer utility?").
In some circumstances (for example, to provide a clean environment in which to run Discoverer Plus), you might want to remove the Discoverer Plus applet from a client machine. To remove the Discoverer Plus applet from a client machine, do the following:
1. Display the JVM control panel (for example, on a Windows machine, display the Control Panel, and double-click the Java icon).
2. Click Settings in the General tab to display the Temporary Files Settings dialog.
3. Click Delete Files.
Alternatively, manually remove all files from the Sun Java Deployment Cache directory. For example, on Windows, remove all files from the C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows user name>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\Cache directory.

You might also have to clear the browser's temporary files.
In some circumstances you might want to remove the Java run-time environment plug-in from a client machine. To do this, remove all versions of the Java 2 Runtime Environment SE from the client machine.
You can upgrade the Java Plug-in on a browser machine without affecting the certified Java Plug-in version installed with Discoverer. For example, when you log in to Windows you might see a Sun Java Plug-in pop-up that informs you that a new version of the Java Plug-in is available for download. If you download and install the new version, Discoverer continues to use the Java Plug-in version installed when you first started Discoverer on that machine.

2.1 General information about starting Discoverer

To start Discoverer Viewer, you just need an Internet browser, as follows:

To start Discoverer Viewer over HTTP, start an Internet browser and enter the Discoverer Viewer HTTP URL (for example, http://<host.domain>:<HTTP port>/discoverer/viewer).

For more information, see Section 2.11, "How to start Discoverer Viewer over HTTP."
To start Discoverer Viewer over HTTPS, start an Internet browser and enter the Discoverer Viewer HTTPS URL (for example, https://<host.domain>:<HTTPS port>/discoverer/viewer).

For more information, see Section 2.5, "About running Discoverer over HTTPS."

Depending on what software you have installed on your machine, you might also need the following:

If the client browser machine does not have a JVM installed, you must install a JVM and initialize the Discoverer Plus applet for that machine. For more information, see Section 2.6, "About running Discoverer Plus over HTTP for the first time on a client machine."
To start Discoverer Plus over HTTPS, you must have installed a security certificate from a Certificate Authority. For more information, see Section 2.5, "About running Discoverer over HTTPS."

Notes

For information on finding out the default Discoverer port number, see Section 4.8, "How to view ports used by Fusion Middleware."

2.2 Which Web browsers does Discoverer support?

Discoverer is certified to support the following Internet browsers:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7
Mozilla Firefox 2
Mozilla Firefox 3

For the latest information on browser support, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes.

2.3 About restricting how users can start Discoverer

In a secure Discoverer environment you want to enable only authorized end users to access Discoverer. For example, you might want to limit users to read-only access to Discoverer workbooks using Discoverer Plus.

Depending on your security requirements, you might do any of the following to provide a secure Discoverer environment:

You might run Discoverer Plus in read-only mode for specified Discoverer end users by removing the Create/Edit Query privilege in Oracle BI Discoverer Administrator. For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer.
You might enable Oracle Advanced Security (formerly Advanced Security Option) encryption between the middle tier and the database.

For more information about other Discoverer security features, see Chapter 13, "Maintaining Security with Oracle BI Discoverer."

2.4 What are the storage requirements and privileges required to start Discoverer Plus and Discoverer Viewer?

To start Oracle BI Discoverer Plus, you require the following on the Discoverer Plus client machine (that is, the browser machine):

Administrative privileges on the client machine, because you need to be able to install a Java Virtual Machine
At least 50 MB of Users Personal Profile Space for the Oracle Jar Cache
A minimum of between 100 - 150 MB of available disk space to install a JVM

To start Oracle BI Discoverer Viewer, you need only to be able to run a standard Web browser (for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer) that has JavaScript and cookies enabled.

2.5 About running Discoverer over HTTPS

Before you can run Discoverer over HTTPS (that is, in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) mode), you must have installed a security certificate from a Certificate Authority (for example, Verisign) on the Oracle HTTP Server on the Oracle Fusion Middleware instance. For more information about installing security certificates, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide and Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Security Guide.

An Oracle installation includes a dummy certificate on the Oracle Fusion Middleware instance that you can use to confirm that HTTPS is deployed. You must install a valid security certificate to ensure that communication with the Oracle Fusion Middleware instance is secure.

A security certificate confirms to the Discoverer client machine that the holder of the security certificate is who they say they are.

How to start Discoverer over HTTPS is different for Discoverer Viewer and Discoverer Plus, as follows:

To run Discoverer Viewer over HTTPS, simply specify HTTPS on the Discoverer Viewer URL, and specify the HTTPS port number.

For example:

https://<host.domain>:<HTTPS port>/discoverer/viewer

When the Security Alert dialog is displayed, click Yes to accept the security certificate issued by the certificate authority you are using. Discoverer Viewer then starts in HTTPS mode. For more information about starting Discoverer Viewer, see Section 2.11, "How to start Discoverer Viewer over HTTP".

To run Discoverer Plus over HTTPS, you install the Web server's security certificate into the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) certificate store in all client machines that run Discoverer Plus. For more information, see Section 2.5.1, "How to install a security certificate on a Discoverer Plus client machine".

Note: To deploy Discoverer Plus over HTTPS, you must select the Secure Tunneling security protocol in Oracle Fusion Middleware Control (for more information, see Section 13.6.3.5, "How to set up Discoverer Plus to use the Secure Tunneling communication protocol").

2.5.1 How to install a security certificate on a Discoverer Plus client machine

You install a security certificate on a Discoverer client machine when you start Discoverer Plus for the first time over HTTPS (that is, in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) mode).

Tip: If you do not have a JVM installed on the client machine, before you try to start Discoverer for the first time in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) mode, do one of the following:

Run Discoverer Plus in HTTP mode, which installs a JVM on the client machine for you. For more information, see Section 2.6, "About running Discoverer Plus over HTTP for the first time on a client machine."
Install a JVM on the client machine manually.

To install a Discoverer Plus security certificate:

Start a Web browser and enter the Discoverer Plus HTTPS URL containing the fully qualified host name (including port number if required) used by your own Oracle installation.

For example:

https://<host.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus

where:
- <host.domain> is the server name and domain on which the Oracle HTTP Server is installed
- <port> is the HTTPS port number (default 4443) on which Discoverer is installed
- /discoverer/plus is the URL command that starts Discoverer Plus
The Security Alert dialog is displayed.
Click View Certificate.
Go to the Details tab.
Click Copy to File to start the Certificate Export Wizard.
Click Next to display the Export File Format page in the Certificate Export Wizard.
Select the Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) option.
Click Next to display the File to Export page in the Certificate Export Wizard.

You now choose a temporary name and location for the exported certificate file.
Enter a file location and file name (with a '.cer' extension) for the exported certificate file in the File name field (for example, c:\tmp\mycertificate.cer).
Click Next to display the final page of the Certificate Export Wizard dialog.
Click Finish to complete the certificate installation.

A confirmation dialog is displayed.
Click OK to close the confirmation dialog and the Certificate Export Wizard and return to the Details tab of the Certificate dialog.
Click OK in the Details tab of the Certificate dialog to return to the Security Alert dialog.
Leave the Security Alert dialog displayed.
Import the security certificate file that you saved earlier into the certificate store of the JVM you are using, as follows:
- if you are using Sun Java Plug-in, see Section 2.5.2, "How to import certificate details into the Java Plug-in certificate store"
(optional) Delete the certificate file that you saved earlier (for example, c:\tmp\mycertificate.cer).
At the Security Alert dialog, click Yes to accept the security certificate and start Discoverer Plus.

Discoverer Plus starts in HTTPS mode and displays the Connect to Oracle BI Discoverer page.

Note: In HTTPS mode, Discoverer Plus displays a padlock symbol on the status bar of the browser, which indicates that the Web session is secure.

Notes

For information about installing security certificates with a JVM other than Java Plug-in, consult the proprietary documentation for that JVM.
If you install a new JVM when you start Discoverer Plus, you must reinstall the Web server's security certificate into the JVM certificate store on all client machines that run Discoverer Plus.

2.5.2 How to import certificate details into the Java Plug-in certificate store

When configuring Discoverer Plus to run over HTTPS using Java Plug-in, you import the certificate details into the Java Plug-in certificate store after you have used the Certificate Export Wizard to export a certificate file.

Display the Java Control Panel.

For example, on Windows display the Windows Control Panel, then select the Java icon.
Display the Security tab and click Certificates.
Display Trusted Certificates from the Certificate type drop down list (if it is not selected).
Click Import and import the certificate file that you saved in Section 2.5.1, "How to install a security certificate on a Discoverer Plus client machine" (for example, c:\tmp\mycertificate.cer).

The security certificate is displayed in the list of certificates in the Java Plug-in certificate store.
Click Apply.

2.6 About running Discoverer Plus over HTTP for the first time on a client machine

When you start Discoverer Plus for the first time on a client machine, you perform a one-time setup process to install a Java Virtual Machine and initialize the Discoverer Plus software. This process is typically performed when:

you want to test that Discoverer is working
a Discoverer end user wants to start Discoverer Plus for the first time on a client machine

If you upgrade Discoverer, you might have to repeat the setup process. For example, you might install a new version of Discoverer Plus that requires a new version of the Java runtime environment.

Oracle BI Discoverer installs the Sun Java Plug-in on client browser machines. For more information about changing the Java plug-in that Discoverer uses, see Section 4.10, "About running Discoverer Plus with different Java Virtual Machines".

The Discoverer Plus initialization procedure is different for different browsers. Refer to the appropriate task below:

For Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Windows client, see Section 2.8, "How to start Discoverer Plus over HTTP in Microsoft Internet Explorer for the first time on a Windows client machine".
For Netscape Navigator on a Windows client, see Section 2.9, "How to start Discoverer Plus over HTTP in Netscape Navigator for the first time on a Windows client machine".
For Netscape Navigator on a UNIX client, see Section 2.10, "How to start Discoverer Plus over HTTP in Netscape Navigator for the first time on a UNIX client machine".
For Firefox on an Apple Mac client, the minimum certified version of Java Plug-In required by Discoverer Plus must be installed. The Safari browser does not support the minimum certified version of the Java plug-in required for this release. For more information about the minimum versions required by Discoverer Plus, see the Release Notes.

To check that the browser has the required Java Plug-in, type about:plugins into the browser. You should see an entry for the installed Java plug-in in the Installed plug-ins page.

For more information about starting Discoverer Plus, see Section 2.7, "How to start Discoverer Plus".

Notes

If single sign-on is enabled, you are first asked to authenticate as a Oracle Single Sign-On or Oracle Access Manager user before a Discoverer connections page is displayed.
If single sign-on is not enabled, Discoverer end users are asked to enter a database password when they select a private connection.

Note: A Discoverer connection stores login information.
To start Discoverer Plus in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must have the Security level set no higher than 'Medium' or custom equivalent (that is, using the Security dialog in Microsoft Internet Explorer).
If a Security Warning dialog is displayed when you start Discoverer, click Yes to install and start the JVM. If you have previously configured the machine to always trust content from Oracle Corporation, this dialog is not displayed.

Note: Discoverer Viewer requires no additional software to be installed on the client machine.

If the Discoverer initialization takes longer than the session timeout (for example, you might be accessing Discoverer over a slower network), increase the Timeout value in the pref.txt file on the middle tier and apply the preferences. For more information, see Section 9.6, "List of Discoverer user preferences".

Notes

To start Discoverer Viewer over HTTPS, enter the Discoverer Viewer HTTPS URL (for example, https://<host.domain>:<HTTPS port>/discoverer/viewer). For more information about running Discoverer Viewer over HTTPS, see Section 2.5, "About running Discoverer over HTTPS".

2.12 How to modify the URL that starts Discoverer

In general, you start Discoverer by entering a URL in a browser, as described in this chapter. That URL has a format similar to the following:

http://<host.domain>:<port>/discoverer/<component-name>

The /discoverer/part of that URL is called the "context root." If your organization requires that all users enter URLs that have specific formats (that is, have a certain context root), then you can modify the default URL that starts Discoverer to match those requirements. After you modify the default URL, share that URL with the Discoverer users in your organization.

The following procedure describes how to modify the default URL for Discoverer by changing the context root. As part of the modification, you stop and restart all OPMN processes and WLS_DISCO Managed Server. WLS_DISCO Managed Server has a complete set of Java EE containers written entirely in Java that execute on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) of the standard Java Development Kit (JDK). Discoverer has a Java EE application that is deployed to WLS_DISCO. The Discoverer application is accessed through the port for the Oracle HTTP Server.

The following procedure uses an example of modifying the URL to include the /myBI/BI11 directory in the context root.

Stop the OPMN using the following opmnctl command:
```
$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl stopall
```
Run the command changeContextRoot, which is located in the ORACLE_INSTANCE/Discoverer/Discoverer_instance-name/util/ folder as follows:
```
changeContextRoot presentContextRoot newContextRoot
```
To include the directory /myBI/BI11 in the context root, run the command as follows:
```
changeContextRoot discoverer myBI/BI11/discoverer
```
If SSO is enabled, edit the module_disco.conf file by following these steps:
1. Open the module_disco.conf file from the ORACLE_INSTANCE\config\OHS\ohs-component-name\moduleconf directory in a text editor.
2. Navigate to the following line:
  
  <Location /discoverer/portletprovider/viewer>
3. Edit the line to read like:
  
  <Location /myBI/BI11/discoverer/portletprovider/viewer>
4. Navigate to the following line:
  
  <Location /discoverer>
5. Edit the line to read like:
  
  <Location /myBI/BI11/discoverer>
6. Save your changes and close the file.
Restart OPMN using the following command:
```
$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl startall
```

To use the modified context root, you must update the Discoverer application as described in the "Update (redeploy) an Enterprise application" section of Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help

After you modify the files and restart the service as described in the previous procedure, users can start Discoverer components using the following URLs:

Discoverer Plus:

http://<host.domain>:<port>/myBI/BI11/discoverer/plus
Discoverer Viewer:

http://<host.domain>:<port>/myBI/BI11/discoverer/viewer
Discoverer Portlet Provider:

http://<host.domain>:<port>/myBI/BI11/discoverer/portletprovider

Note: If single sign-on is enabled for Discoverer, to modify the URL you must change the <Location> tag for each Discoverer component in the mod_osso.conf file. For example, to change the URL for Discoverer Plus, change <Location /discoverer/plus> to <Location /myBI/BI11/discoverer/plus> in the mod_osso.conf file.

For more information about editing mod_osso.conf, see Section 13.8.1.2, "How to enable and disable Single Sign-On for Discoverer."
