Can't Create Saved Connection in 11g (Discoverer Plus).

Question

We're getting ready to go live with a new installation of Discoverer Weblogic 11g, but we have run into a problem. We are getting errors when we have any user try to create a saved login connection from their login screen. We hit "Create Connection" and enter all the required login info (as we always did with our 10g version), but when we hit 'Apply' or 'Apply and Connect' we get the following errors.......
A connection error.
- Oracle BI Discoverer Viewer cannot save the connection. Check for other errors.
- ORA-04063: package body "PROD_DISCOVERER_PS.WWSSO_API_PRIVATE" has errors ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "PROD_DISCOVERER_PS.WWSSO_API_PRIVATE" ORA-06512: at line 1
Users can login just fine when they enter all their info on the login screen, this is only happening when we try to create the saved connection. Is anyone else running into this on 11g? Is there a setting we are missing or something? Maybe something in the pref.txt file? Any help would be appreciated, especially since we are being asked to go live soon. Thanks!

Additional info:
Based on the error messages, we can see something is wrong with the package being called. We had a long running help ticket with Oracle opened, but in our opinion, it was not really resolved. We provided the following info after a request from Oracle....
The package does exist. The package is valid but the package body is invalid due to missing dependant objects
It is owned by PROD_DISCOVERER_PS.
The database version is 11.2.0.1.0 (64 bit)
SQL> select OWNER, OBJECT_TYPE
+2 from all_objects+
+3 where object_name = 'WWSSO_API_PRIVATE';+
OWNER OBJECT_TYPE
PROD_DISCOVERER_PS PACKAGE
PROD_DISCOVERER_PS PACKAGE BODY
We have tried to recomplie the package, still invalid.
After some further questions we were asked to provide info on the app_registry.......We got an error when trying that.......
The app_registry object does not exist ...
SQL> connect sys as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> select comp_id,version,status from app_registry;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
In the end (after a lot of back and forth), Oracle could not reproduce our problem on their test system. Because their test system uses Enterprise Edition and we installed Standard Edition, their solution was that the issue is caused because we are using Standard Oracle DB and we should be using Enterprise Edition. Creating a saved connection doesn't sound at all like something that would be affected by Standard or Enterprise edition. That's not an easy "solution" for us right now, and we can use a real fix. That's like taking your car into the shop because your blinkers don't work on your 2010 model car and the dealer's solution is "Oh, your 2010 car blinkers don't work? We have a 2011 model and they work just fine. You'll need to buy a 2011 car so the turn signals function."
