Administration Edition- View Business Areas

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install the Oracle discoverer Administration edition for a user, but only with query/view rights on Business Areas ?.
The user should not be able do make changes , but only to view : eg : folder links, custom folder queries, properties etc.
Or is there another way of getting the information regarding the setup for a certain Business Area ?

Hi,
It depends what version of Discoverer you are using. If you are using a later version (10g) then you can give the user administration privilege but no privilege to change the EUL (e.g. format business area). Then when the user connects to Disco Administrator they get read only access to the EUL.
If you are using a previous version then you will have to either write a report off the EUL tables that gives them all the information they need (The Oracle provided EUL Definition Business gives most of this information), or implement your own read only constraints using database triggers.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

  • Unable to view Business areas even after giving administrator rights

    Hi All,
    I have been given permission as administrator i.e all privileges are given. All roles have been selected for that particular user. When I tried to access the userid I get a message 'Does not have access to any EULs ...' . But when my administrator logs in with my user id he did not get any error.
    The only difference I am able to find is the EUL version. The EUL version from his administrator edition is 4.1.37.00.0. Whereas when I log in with my administrator edition the EUL version is 5i. Will the EUL version make the difference. Or will there be any other reason. If so what is the step to overcome?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    When you can't access to a business area is due to the user hasn't permission for Database tables. You can have two identical Discoverer users and one can access to a business area and the other no.
    If you want to access to a business area first you must check if you have select and create session permission for the database tables. If so, is when you must check rights in Discoverer.

  • Discoverer Views not Working in Accounts Receivable Business Area

    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,

  • How to view all workbooks in a Business Area? (4i)

    Discoverer 4i, Using Desktop Admin and Desktop Client.
    I've got a user set in the Admin layer as:
    Security -> Assigned to the Business Area and set as 'Allow Administration'
    Privileges -> All 'User' and 'Administration' options ticked
    When I log in with this user to the Desktop Client and go on to any responsibility I see no workbooks (or only workbooks that are created/shared to the user or chosen responsibility).
    It was my understanding that when a user is set as a Business Area Administrator and has all the Admin privileges they should be able to view all workbooks? I've certainly see this functionality in the past although I'm not sure if this was a Disco 10g function.
    Thanks in advanced for any responses,
    Tim

    Official answer from ODM on Metalink:
    "+The behaviour you see is expected behaviour for all Discoverer releases from ver 3i to 11g . Only the owner of the workbook can see the workbook or can share the workbook to other users . Any other user (with or without Discoverer admin priviliges) is not able to see / manage the non-owning workbooks.+"
    I.e. this can't be done...

  • Export views and business areas from dev to prod.

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using oracle database 10gR2 and Oracle BI Discoverer Administration 10gR2.
    I have an End User Layer disadmin1 with 10 business areas. This EUL also have folders for the views in its own schema. I used original import/export utility to export this EUL from Development to Production environment.I exported the schema disadmin1 form development and imported it into production into same shcema disadmin1 (This exported the views too) . It is absolutely working fine.
    Now I have to develop 5 more business areas in the same EUL as phase 2 development I am keeping the EUL disadmin1 for bug fixing for initial 10 BAs, and I have another EUL disadmin2 to develop new business areas. For these new business areas, I have to firrst create views and then create folders on these views in disadmin2. I will export the new business areas form discoverer utility 'Selected Business Areas' from disadmin2 and will import them into production in original EUL disadmin1. My problem is how can I export new views from development to production.
    Thanks for the help.

    With Discoverer, there is not necessarily one right way to do things. There is certainly nothing wrong with the process you are doing. I believe Oracle had a different process in mind with Oracle, but that does not mean your process is wrong. Did you install the seeded (Oracle term) business areas that come with Discoverer, and activated the business views for those Oracle business areas? Put those into Production and your users can develop workbooks on the fly in Production, rather than wait for something to go through a development-test-production process. Which can be good or bad depending on your individual situation. As for creating new views, I suggest talking to your Oracle technical team to see what process they have for approving new views in production and getting those views created. I would suggest getting those approved and created first before relying on using them for Discoverer development (just in case the creation is not approved), but that is just my opinion.

  • Few folders in Business area not visible in Desktop edition

    I am using Discoverer 4 on Windows NT. I created a new business area using Administrative edition. When I used Desktop edition to create a new workbook, in Step 2, when I selected the new business area I created, the folders (tables) in this business area are listed in the Available list. A few of the folders that are shown in the Administrative edition are not shown in the Available List in the Desktop edition. Are there specific conditions for a folder to be listed in the Available list of the Desktop edition?
    Please reply to [email protected]
    Thanks.

    I had a similar problem. What you might want to try is to Refresh the business area in the Admin edition. That should work.

  • Can't see business areas in Discoverer user edition

    I have setup a business area and folders in admin edition. But when I go to user edition I don't get the list in available business areas. The folders are set to 'visible to user'. What could be the reason.
    Thanks in advance.
    Alok

    Each user much have (security) access to the business area,
    and have the 'user edition' privledge.
    Both of these settings can be found in the Administration Edition
    under the Tools menu.
    While you're there, you can review the settings for the Query Governor
    as well.

  • Not able to view Folders in Business area.

    Hi,
    User has been given access to XYZ business area from discoverer Admin but not able to view folders in Discoverer Plus (web based) but he can view the folders under same business area (ie XYZ) using Discoverer Desktop Application. Only one user is facing the problem other users with same business area (ie. XYZ) can view all the folders under that business area. User tried on other PC also but result the same.

    I faced same kind of problem some time back & found JInitiator as the cause. Try unintalling older Installation of JInitiator & reinstall it & it should work.

  • Page Forward & Reverse buttons do not work & are "grayed-out" after upgrading to, as is the Main-Menu Items such as File-Edit-view etc...

    After upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 all functionality appeared to be intact. Then after a few days it lost the ability to "page forward" or to "page back" and are "grayed-out". Additionally, the Main menu items such as File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help are also grayed-out and non-functioning.
    Also, the "Search Window" does not search, Web Searches need to be performed from within the URL window instead, for some crazy reason. If the URL window is blank when I enter a search into the actual search window the following appears in the URL window, "Search Bookmarks and History", which makes no sense.
    I have noticed similar complaints in this Forum in the past but I have not seen any posted resolution to these issues. Is there a solution?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • My photos are stuck in the editing view

    All of my photos are stuck in the editing view and I am unable to return to thumbnail view.  I can move to different "events" and photos, but they are all in the editing view.  When I select view and then go to thumbnails, the options are unavailable.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I probably didn't explain the problem clearly. 
    When I open an event I would like to see the collection of photos, in thumbnail version.  Since last night, the photos are in the large view - one photo at a time.  I have to scroll through them to find the photo I want.  This is the case in all of my events and albums. 
    When I go to the view tab and click on thumbnails, the options are unavailable - they are there, but are light grey and they aren't accessible when I click on them.
    When I refered to my photos being stuck in the editing view, I should have said they are stuck in the large view, showing one photo at a time only.
