Discoverer Views not Working in Accounts Receivable Business Area

Question

Discoverer Instance: OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.54.25
Database: Oracle 10G
Apps Version: R12
Problem: Related to our EUL for Apps
Description: A lot of views in the AR Business Area depend on views that are created with synonyms that have VPD data restrictions.
Example of this problem
The “ARFG_AR_TRANSACTIONS “view depends on the “APPS.RA_CUSTOMER_TRX” synonym. This synonym and “APPS.RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL” are both private synonyms owned by APPS that have the following creation script:
CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM "APPS"."SYNONYM_NAME" FOR "AR"."RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL";
The first synonym returns a null set when queried and the second synonym returns an identical set to its source table.
Source of the problem: It appears to be VPD data restrictions.
How to check to see if there are VPD data restrictions:
select
a.object_owner,
a.object_name,
a.function,
a.policy_group,
a.policy_type,
a.policy_name
from
DBA_POLICIES a
where
a.object_owner='APPS'
AND a.object_name='RA_CUSTOMER_TRX';
Solution: Our Discoverer administrator entered a service request on this and we were advised to apply patch # 6819715.
Can anyone speak of any issues associated with this patch?
Thanks,
Patrick
