Confussing between Database User and Application User in Discoverer

Hi All,
I am new to Discoverer.
Please let me know the difference between Database User and Application User in Discoverer Administrator as well as in Discoverer Desktop Editions.
1) While I am trying to connect to Discoverer Desktop, I am unable to connect to it with Apps Database User.
2) Where the Discoverer compenent will be installed and what the configuration settings need to done work on it.
Please let me know the answers soon.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello
I think a database user should pretty much be self explanatory - this is a user account that exists in the database. This account is created by your Database Administrator (DBA).
The second kind of user that Discoverer understands is a user that exists inside Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), formerly known as Oracle Applications, hence an application user. This user account gets created by the EBS system administrator.
Now, just because you're using EBS, it does not automatically follow that users will be application users. Let me explain.
Discoverer can be installed in one of two modes, standard mode and Applications mode.
The vast majority of organizations use standard mode which means they allow database users to access the system.
The only time that you will need an applications account is under the following two rules:
1. Your organization is using E-Business Suite, AND
2. Your Discoverer administrator has installed Discoverer in Applications mode.
Applicatons mode does not happen automatically, even if you have EBS, and you cannot install that mode by accident. You have to tell Discoverer that it is operating in that mode, provide some additional EBS account information, make security assignments and set users have to deliberately tell Discoverer they want to connect using an applications account.
May I suggest you get hold of a copy of the Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook that I wrote. That book explains in detail the differences between the modes. I also have a free white paper on my website that describes how to install Discoverer into Applications mode.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

  • Difference Between Database Schema and Database User Account ??

    First i would like to know what an Oracle Database schema exactly is ?
    And what is it for and also What is it's use ?

    a user is a schema and schema is a user. but when this applies to the user that he become a schema, only if he has got some objects. so we can say while creating the user which dosent contain any objects called simple user account but afterwords when he has got an objects then we can say its a schema as the above user has shown you through the exampleIt is just word-play. There is nothing in like a 'status' indicator to say "USER_A is just a user but USER_B has become a schema". Many people use the terms "user" and "schema" interchangeably, and some very good DBAs will insist this is correct. I don't disagree with them even though I usually try to make the distinction.
    In a typical application, all of the objects (tables, procedures, etc) that implement the app will be owned by a "application schema owner" - a user which exists for the sole purpose of owning the schema. Said user will have no privileges at all .. especially not CREATE SESSION. Except for possible maintenance activity no one ever actually connects as this user. User accounts are then given to actual humans who connect with their own accounts. The accounts have the necessary system and object privileges granted to them - via a role. One could also create a special account (let's call it APP_ADMIN) that is used for maintenance and batch operations within the application.

  • Difference between database, websheet and packaged applications

    This is fully covered in the documentation:
    About Database Applications
    About Websheet Applications
    About Packaged Applications
    There is little difference between packaged applications and database applications, other than that packaged applications are supplied by Oracle and database applications are created by you.

  • Difference between component configuration and application configuration in webdynpro

    what is the difference between component configuration and application configuration in webdynpro?

    Hi Rohit,
    With the component configuration, you can control the behavior of each individual component within a Web Dynpro application or the user interface of individual views. For each component, several records of configuration data can be created.
    Using the application configuration, it is now possible to assign the configuration required in the current application to all the components used.
    In short : Component Config belongs to WDP Component and Appl'n Config. belongs to WDP Appl'n.
    Check this document for more information.

  • Difference Between central instance And application instance

    Hi every body can any one tell me that
    what is the difference between Central instance and Application instance.
    If i am using 4.7 ee with orcale data base.

    Check these links
    http://oreilly.com/catalog/sapadm/chapter/ch01.html
    Basically these terms comes when you are working on live servers where all the users log into to do their daily work.
    We says when we want to distribute the workload on servers we requires central instance and application servers.
    Normally it is not known to common users where they are logging into...but they can login directly usign the specific Instance details of servers.

  • Architecture mismatch between ODBC driver and application

    Hi,
    I have Windows 2008 server R2 OS which is 64 bit OS. I have created an SQL Server ODBC connections for my CMC database. I am trying to install Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 SP3 but I am getting this "architecture mismatch between ODBC driver and application" error while choosing the ODBC datasource for CMS.
    I thought CRS 2008 version would easly be installed on Windows 2008 server as it mentioned on the installation guide.
    How do I resolve this issue?

    Moved to BOE Admin forum.
    CRS 2008 is a 32 bit app so all attachments, Printers, DB clients, etc. must all be 32 bit or support 32 bit applications.
    Use the 32 ODBC administrator in \windows\syswow64 folder.
    Thank you

  • What is the diffrence between sap events and application events

    Hi all,
    what is the diffrence between sap events and application events.Can any one tell me with examples.
    regards,

    Hi,
    Look at this,
    <b>System Events (Default)</b>
    The event is passed to the application server, but does not trigger the PAI. If you have registered an event handler method in your ABAP program for the event (using the SET HANDLER statement), this method is executed on the application server.
    Within the event handler method, you can use the static method SET_NEW_OK_CODE of the global class CL_GUI_CFW to set a function code and trigger the PAI event yourself. After the PAI has been processed, the PBO event of the next screen is triggered.
    The advantage of using this technique is that the event handler method is executed automatically and there are no conflicts with the automatic input checks associated with the screen. The disadvantage is that the contents of the screen fields are not transported to the program, which means that obsolete values could appear on the next screen. You can work around this by using the SET_NEW_OK_CODE method to trigger field transport and the PAI event after the event handler has finished.
    <b>Application Events</b>
    The event is passed to the application server, and triggers the PAI. The function code that you pass contains an internal identifier. You do not have to evaluate this in your ABAP program. Instead, if you want to handle the event, you must include a method call in a PAI dialog module for the static method DISPATCH of the global class CL_GUI_CFW. If you have defined an event handler method in your ABAP program for the event (using the SET HANDLER statement), the DISPATCH method calls it. After the event handler has been processed, control returns to the PAI event after the DISPATCH statement and PAI processing continues.
    The advantage of this is that you can specify yourself the point at which the event is handled, and the contents of the screen fields are transported to the application server beforehand. The disadvantage is that this kind of event handling can lead to conflicts with the automatic input checks on the screen, causing events to be lost.
    Hope u understood.
    Thanks&Regards,

  • SSRS 2012 ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application

    I have a SSRS installation, I have deployed my connections to, but they fail with title message.  The drivers and ODBC on the box are setup and work fine with 32 bit ODBC conn manager. 
    When I run or configure my connections on the site, via the browser, I get errors connecting.
    I tried to find which app pool http://server/ReportServer application used, but I am not finding that, so my first ?
    How do I find in IIS what app pool SSRS application is using?
    I have 2008 server, running SQL 2012 V.S. 2010 and I think I need to enable my app pool to use 32 bit, but cannot figure out which one it uses?  I see default set to 32 bit = true, which I thought would be it.
    Can I set my SSRS project to use x86, platform? Like I did with SSIS? 
    If so, how?  SSRS and SQL 2012 somewhat new for me. Thanks

    Hi DCady,
    To manage a data source that connects to a 32-bit driver under 64-bit platform, we use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. To manage a data source that connects to a 64-bit driver, we use C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe.
    Generally, if we use the 64-bit odbcad32.exe (C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe) to configure or remove a DSN that connects to a 32-bit driver, for example, Driver do Microsoft Access (*.mdb), we will receive the following error message:
    The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
    To resolve this error, we need to use the 32-bit odbcad32.exe (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbacad32.exe) to configure or remove the DSN.
    Besides, please make sure there are no DSN using the same name in both 64-bit and 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator.

  • Difference between Business message and application message

    Hi B2B Gurus,
    Can you please explain the difference between Business message and application message?
    Regards,
    Praveen

    Hi Praveen,
    Business message status reports identify business message instance details for a document protocol. These details include the sending and receiving trading partners, the agreement name, the business action, the business message ID, the status, the exchange protocol and document protocol, and message details.
    Application Message Reports provide information related to the SOA Composite—the name, version, and so on, if a back-end composite application sent or received the message.

  • Different between database lock and sap lock

    Hi All,
    What is different between database lock and sap lock why sap introduced locking mechanism.
    Thanks
    Santosh

    From a database perspective, every dialog step forms a physical and logical unit:
    the database transaction.. The database lock administration can only coordinate
    this type of database transaction. From an SAP point of view, however, this is
    not sufficient, because SAP transactions, which are formed from a sequence of
    logically related work steps that are consistent in business terms, are generally
    made up of several dialog steps. SAP systems need to have their own lock
    management. This is implemented using the enqueue work process. This also
    ensures that the platform-independence of the lock management is maintained.

    HI
    An entire table can be included in a database view. In this case all the fields of the included table will become fields of the view (whereby you can explicitly exclude certain fields). If new fields are included in the table or existing fields are deleted, the view is automatically adjusted to this change.
    Database view:

  • What is the exact difference between Database Cloning and Database Refresh?

    Hi,
    Can anybody tel me the exact difference between Database Cloning and Database Refresh?
    I Have some conflicts in these topics.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    Refresh is what it says, "refresh" . You have a main site which would always have the data being inserted into it. There would be another site which would remain some where else . This site needs to be refreshed with the primary site. So you need to do export from the primary, push it to the secondary site and done!

  • Difference between Database, instance and schema

    Hi
    I don't know the clear difference between database, instance and schema.. In the broad sense, everything seems to be the same. If anyone can differentiate between them with some example, that will be of great help.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    In Oracle, people often do use "database" and "instance" interchangeably, or together as one term: "database instance".
    A "schema" is quite different. A schema is a collection of objects (such as tables, indexes or procedures). Every object belongs to exactly one schema, and every schema is a part of exactly one database. (Names may not be unique, however. For example, your database may have one schema named SCOTT, and another schema named USER1. Each of those schemas may have a table named EMP. The EMP table in the SCOTT schema, or SCOTT.EMP, is not the same as the EMP table in the USER1 schema, or USER1.EMP. A different database, my database for example, may also have schemas called SCOTT and USER1, which are completely independent of the SCOTT and USER1 in your database.)
