New Discoverer 9.0.2.54 Versions Available On Metalink
A new version of Discoverer Plus/Viewer 9iAS, version 9.0.2.54, is now available on metalink as patch no. 3079487.
It supercedes the version of Discoverer that comes with 9ias 9.0.2.0.1 (9.0.2.39) and the 9.0.2.53.x versions that most people have in production, and comes with the following new functionality;
- Blank passwords now allowed for connections
- New configuration parameters for stylesheets
- Changes to Discoverer's use of the Oracle database optimizer when predicting query response times
- Changes to Discoverer's Enhanced Data Aggregation Functionality
- Various bug fixes, including Portlet refresh issues and graphs not being displayed for worksheets with many parameters
- Discoverer Plus and Viewer now display headers and footers defined in Desktop
After you've patched Discoverer Plus and Viewer, you'll also need to apply patch no. 3079459 to any Discoverer Admin or Desktop installations, to bring them up to 9.0.2.54. As the last step, and if you've not already upgraded to 9.0.2.53.x, use the patched-up version of Discoverer Admin to connect to your EUL, and let it upgrade your EUL tables to the latest version - if you miss out this step, Discoverer Plus and Viewer won't let you access a connection until the EUL has been upgraded.
