Creation of a new EUL in APPS mode

I need to create a new EUL in APPS mode, so, I'm following some steps from http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2009/03/clamping-down-discoverer.html, in order to do everything right from the beginning.
I'm thinking in create new tablespaces (for EUL data and summaries, and temp), new database user CUST_BI with these tablespaces, and then create the new EUL. I'm following the Metalink note 373634.1, but I'am in doubt if the bold parts are OK:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/eulapi -CREATE_EUL -APPS_MODE -CONNECT system/<password>@<db> -USER CUST_BI -PASSWORD <password> -DEFAULT_TABLESPACE disco_tbsp -TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE disco_temp -EUL_LANGUAGE US -APPS_GRANT_DETAILS apps/<password> -log EULcreation.log
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/eulapi -CONNECT CUST_BI/<password>@<db> -GRANT_PRIVILEGE -USER DISCOADMIN -PRIVILEGE administration -PRIVILEGE all_admin_privs -LOG grantEULAdminPriv.log
1) Is the CUST_BI database user in the right place ?
2) As you can see, I need to separate the BI administration from EBS administration... and DISCOADMIN is a new Apps user... any checklist/recommendation for this new Apps. user?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1) Is the CUST_BI database user in the right place ?Yes, though you should add the language code to the user name, e.g. CUST_BI_US. This will be the EUL owner, the schema that holds all the EUL tables. The temporary tablespace you specify in the create_eul command is only used when you connect as the EUL owner, so is not important.
When you connect as an apps user the connection will be made using the APPS database user, and therefore the temporary tablespace used (and location of MVs) will be the temporary and default tablespaces associated with the APPS user. You can change the temporary tablespace just for the Discoverer users by issuing a ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA command in a PL/SQL procedure called during the initialisation of the Discoverer sessions.
2) As you can see, I need to separate the BI administration from EBS administration... and DISCOADMIN is a new Apps user... any checklist/recommendation for this new Apps. user? The disco administration user can be any apps user who has EUL administration privileges in the EUL. This user should then be used to create all business areas, etc.

EUL in apps mode

I'm confused as to how exactly security works in an EUL in apps mode. Let's say I've assigned an business area to a user. However, in the applications, the user does not have the responsibility to view that data. In Discoverer, it seems that security stops at the business area assignment (i.e., if the user has been assigned the BA, they can build and run a worksheet and then view the data). If this is indeed the case, what exactly is the "apps mode" part supposed to do? I'm confused...

John,
I've since found out some interesting stuff... (metalink.oracle.com is a wonderful thing!). Yes, if your EUL as created in "apps mode" then you should only grant security to the responsibility. (This is a quote from the db-link-related document referenced below) "When an applications mode EUL is created, it is set-up to interface to Applications Security Tables instead of the Data Dictionary." Those tables are fnd_user, fnd_responsibility_vl, fnd_application, etc. That's a biggie -- business areas built on custom views or tables are not filtered through the responsibility -- it's a big hole in security. Bottom line, it sounds like if you grant security on a business area to an individual, they'll be able to see the data regardless of their responsibilities assigned them in the front-end. I've also tested this theory and it seems to be true. See metalink Doc ID 191586.1 to find out how to join EUL tables with the FND tables. It's soooooo much easier to see which users/responsibilities are assigned on the back-end than through Discoverer Admin when you have 50+ business areas.
I've inherited an Oracle-vendor built, but not rolled-out, "apps mode" EUL. I'm tasked with figuring out how it works and getting it rolled out ASAP.
Also of note, "apps mode" euls have a problem with database links -- see Doc ID 113381.1 on metalink.

DB schema migration of Apps mode EUL

Hi,
we have a DEV environment with an APPS mode EUL (EUL4_US) that has been upgraded to 10.1.2 and has a custom business area with a lot of custom folders and workbooks. Discoverer desktop is currently the primary mechanism for creating and viewing reports. The DEV environment also had the 'The Discoverer V5 EUL' administration business area and workbooks installed fine.
We have tried to migrate this to a testing environment using the database level imp/exp procedures after generating all the business views on the test box along with compiling all customisations (functions/views etc.).
Since the migration, none of the non-SYSADMIN user owned workbooks appear and the admin business area didn't 'obviously' migrate across properly (even though the functions were registered ok).
We noticed on the target env that the Apps user that owned the workbooks on DEV did not exist on test. We created the user, but it made no difference.
We tried to import the admin eex file again in refresh mode but received errors such as:
Access is denied trying to modify the Folder with identifier 'EUL5_BATCH_QUERIES'
...even though we cannot see the businss area from admin edition when logged in with Business Views Setup responsibility.
Importing the eex file in 'rename' mode was semi-successful - the business area and workbooks imported, but the workbooks failed to open with missing item errors (which needed substituting).
Creating a query from scratch against the admin folder EUL5_WORKBOOK_MANAGEMENT shows all the 'missing' workbooks along with their owner.
What is happening? What can I do to address the issues? It looks like a security problem.
Cheers,
John

Further news.
I've sorted out the 'missing' business area. I needed to login as EUL4_US in database mode to grant the business area to the apps responsibilities. Not sure why the import didn't take care of that.
That just leaves the issue of missing workbooks. Running the standard Workbook Management report shows a weird issue:
All the workbooks are shown on the workbook access tab but the page item 'document created by' shows '***Undefined error 2***'.
Does the ownership get stored in the EUL tables as an id or as the username? Just wondering whether my Apps user has a different fnd user id between environments and that is causing the missing workbooks issues.

Create an load New EUL before upgrading to 11.5.10 Oracle Apps

We are scheduled to upgrade from 11.5.9 to 11.5.10 and I have 3 Discoverer EULs to upgrade for cutover. On top of that we need to create a new EUL that will not be available to the users until after the Oracle Apps upgrade. My question is, can I create the new Discoverer EUL and load the business areas, and import the upgrade EEX files before the actual upgrade of Oracle Apps. No one will have access to this EUL. Once Oracle Apps is upgraded I would refresh all the Business Areas per the usual upgrade instructions, then grant user access.
Thanks
Grant

Thanks for the reply. I will be using MKS Toolkit to import the eex files. My admin tool is 4.1.xxx. The main thing I was worried about was that I would not be able to regenerate the views before the import. I guessed that it would not matter as long as I did the generate views before I do the refresh. I didn't think this would be a problem but I wanted to ask.
Again, Thanks
Grant

Discoverer In Apps Mode Help

I am currently working on a project using oracle discoverer and it is being run in "apps mode". This is the first time I have worked practically with discoverer and I am unfamiliar with the standard apps EUL. I understand that the EUL uses a number of views which are located in the apps schema (not sure if these are standard apps views or if the apps eul has created them, the eul as you will have gathered has been installed to the apps schema)
I have been looking for a reference document that covers the apps mode eul however I have been unable to locate anything that describes the workbooks or anything at all about the apps eul in general apart from install documents etc.. from otn.
Has anyone worked with the apps eul?, do you have any feedback/comments about it and if you have any references/docs regarding the eul structure and the available responsibilities etc.. that would be great.
Thanks for your help in advance
Keith

Keith.
Huge potential question, but here's a quick run-down.
There are 2 types of EULs (well 3 now that OLAP is supported). The 'standard' EUL was the only type of EUL at one time where all users were database users or database roles. All worked well and people were happy.
Then Oracle came out with the Apps EUL. The concept is entirely similar to the 'standard' EUL in the sense that the users now ARE NOT database users, but are Oracle Apps (Enterprise Suite) users or responsibilities. It has a bit more smarts also in that (and you may not have set this up properly if having problems) you also have to identify the 'gateway' info in the Admin, desktop, Plus versions. This setting if found in the various programs in the Tools -> Options -> Connections area. You want to make sure that if you only have an Apps EUL, then choose the 2nd. radio button (connect only to Apps EULs). If you have more than 1 EUL (and IMO you should strive NOT TO), and one is Apps and one is standard, then choose the 3rd. radio button. If only a standard EUL then choose the 1st. radio button. For the gateway info top box, 99.9999% of the time (I've never seen otherwise), you put in: applsyspub/pub. For the gateway info. bottom box, again 99.9999% of the time, you put in: apps.
All that is doing is that when an Apps user logs in (ie: Apps username, password and EUL), then it has to use the gateway info to call up Oracle Apps, get info about that Apps username, and present a list of responsibilities they can choose from.
So ... when you have business areas, you have to share them like you did in the standard EUL you know. You could have chosen to share ba's with a database name or a role. If you're smart (IMO), you'd have only shared with roles.
Likewise, in an Apps EUL, you can share the ba's (and therefore see the data their folders are pointing to) with Oracle Apps usernames, or Oracle Apps responsibilities. LIkewise, if you're smart (IMO), you'd only share with responsibilities.
When you create a workbook as a particular user, you can share access to that workbook with an Oracle Apps username or responsiblity. I'm sure you can guess who I believe you should share it with.
So, it's all pretty identical to what you're used to. The only other thing you're referring to ( I believe ) is the BIS views. These are 'freebie' views (well you paid for 'em with Oracle Apps), that can be 'generated' similarly to NoetixViews. There's lots of opinions of these views when compared to NoetixViews, but the concept is similar. Views are owned by the Apps schema, and without going through the process, you 'generate' them in Oracle Apps where lots of good info about your particular environment (ie: kffs, dffs, etc.) are 'put' into the generated view. You'll see many versions of a view where the Oracle Apps schema abbreviation is first, then the 'type' of generated view, then the viewname. Trust me on this - or look up further info - YOU ONLY WANT TO POINT TO THE xxFG_ type of views.
So, you'll see view types for a particular view such as: ARBG_actuals, ARBV_actuals, ARFV_actuals and ARFG_actuals.
Again, without going into the whole subject, the xxFG_ type views are 'fully generated' versions (well, my guess at the FG_ name). These will have all the good stuff in them and only use them.
One last point (to this supposed 'SHORT' explanation), you may well get no rows returned when looking at the Discoverer folders that are pointing to those BIS views (or new folders you create similarly pointing). That's not that "it doesn't work". It's because many of the BIS views have security right on the view. You'll see many times around the last line of the SQL code for the view reference to: CLIENT_INFO, or GL_Security_Pkg, or HR_Security_Pkg, etc. That's just the BIS view stopping you from seeing the data if you're not allowed to see it. In fact, if you bring up the view in TOAD or a similar SQL product, you again may well see no data. Just for testing (and there are other methods such as setting your environment variable), just comment out the security part of a copied BIS view and look at it again in TOAD, etc.
That should give you a SHORT explanation. For more on BIS views, search this forum and the Discoverer forum for BIS info as I know I've written more on the generation process, etc.

APPS MODE User Issue

We upgraded from 4i to 10g and have always used APPS MODE EUL. The following two users were setup wayback in 4i.
DB User:
JACN_DISC_US - EUL_OWNER
Apps User:
DISC_US - Apps Mode EUL Administrator
Now my problem is somewhere / somehow we now have a DB User:DISC_US and this user has privileges in the EUL.
When I select from the table eul5_eul_users I get #3074 and DISC_US in the eu_username column (#3074 is FNDUSER "DISC_US").
1. What impact might this have on my EUL?
2. Any suggestion on how to rid myself of DB User: DISC_US
I'm not sure how it happened. There are others that have access with capabilities.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi,
In an APPS mode EUL you should only see PUBLIC and the eul owner in the eu_username column. All other rows should be in the #userid or #respid#appid format.
An additional row in the eul5_eul_users table probably won't affect your EUL unless the user owns some objects in the EUL. If the user doens't own any objects you could just delete the row from the eul5_eul_users table. Otherwise you would have to export the EUL, remove the DISC_US and eul owner users from the database. Then create a new eul owner and import the EUL.
Hope that helps,

Function of HOLD DATA in the settings for creation of a new screen.

Hi,
Since i'm new to ABAP and still learning my way through, i would really appreciate if somebody can help me out with the exact functioning of selecting the check box 'HOLD DATA' under the settings option while creation of a new screen.
Thanks for any help extended.

Take simple scenario of SE38. The Screen for the transaction has the Flag "HOLD DATA" as Ticked.
Now enter some program name on the field and Click - Utilities-> User Profile -> Hold data.
Now come out of the transaction, go back to the same transaction. The name of the Program that you entered earlier will appear on the input field.
So if the screen doesn't have "Hold Data" set the functions of HOLD data, SET DATA, DELETE data will not work.
Also try using SET DATA For the Program input field.
SAP Help :
If you activate this option, the following functions are supported for the screen at runtime:
System -> User profile -> Hold data
-> Set data
-> Delete data
The Hold data function allows you to hold onto any entries you have made on the screen. When the screen is next processed (even in a different mode), the system then automatically redisplays the data in the input fields.
If the option is not activated, these functions are ineffective at screen runtime.

Step By Step Creation Of A new Business Object

hi,
Please Give Me Details Of A Business Object,like step by step creation of a new business object and it's utilization.

Create a business object (SWO1).
Give the business object name prefixed with Z_.
Enter the following fields with values:
Object type:      Z_TESTXX
This is the internal technical key. Page: 1
Object type can have maximum 10 characters. This must be unique across all object type. Objects are specific instances of object types at runtime.
Object name: Object_Name_for_XX
The object type is addressed with this name by external applications. This is a descriptive English name and can be up to 32 characters. This also must be unique across all object type.
Name:      Object Name: XX
This is a meaningful name of the business object.
Description:     Object Description: XX
Page: 1
Object description, can be up to 40 characters.
Program:      Z_TESTXX
Each object type has an ABAP/4 program in which methods of the object are implemented. This program is generated automatically when you create or revise an object type.
Application: indicates cross application.
3: Create an event.
Open the Object type in change mode. When you change your subtype the first step is to create a new event, this is done by selecting the Event node and clicking the create button. Give the event a name and a description. Next set the status of this object type component to implemented.
Event:          Z_EVENT_XX
Name:          Event name: XX
Description:     Event Description: XX
Click on the new event andu2026
Edit - Change Release Status- Object Type Component - Implemented
(A small box sign vanishes from the right side of the event, indicating that it is implemented)
There can be multiple triggering events for a standard/customer task.
In R/3 4.0 the release strategy for new Object Types and Object Type Components (methods, attributes, events, etc.) was enhanced. Now when an object type and/or components are created, there are different statuses to select, based on its required purpose. The statuses are:
u2022     Modeled - objects cannot be accessed at runtime. This is the status that is automatically set when an object type or component is created. Items with a modeled status cannot be referenced in any type of workflow task.
u2022     Implemented - objects can be used internally in a test environment. They are accessible, but may not be stable (especially if no delegation has been defined).
u2022     Released - objects are ready for production. Note: Local objects cannot be released.
u2022     Obsolete - objects are typically replaced by new functionality or incompatible with previous versions.   This status is optional.
4: Create a method.
Next a method must be created without using any function module template. When creating the method ensure that the method call is synchronous - this means that the method doesn't require a terminating event.
A method can be synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous Method
Method that, for the duration of its execution, assumes the process control and, after its execution, reports to the calling component (work item manager, in this case).
Synchronous methods can return the following data, if defined: Return parameters, one result and Exceptions.
Terminating events can also be defined for a single-step task described with a synchronous method. At runtime, the relevant work item is then terminated either when the synchronous method is successfully executed or when one of the defined terminating events occurs.
Asynchronous Method
Method that, after its execution, does not report directly to the calling component (work item manager, in this case).
Asynchronous object methods do not return results, parameters or exceptions.
At least one terminating event must be defined for a single-step task described with an asynchronous object method.
At runtime, the relevant work item is only terminated if one of the defined terminating events occurs.
Next set the status of this object type component to implemented. The methods are not implemented unless you once open their program. Select the method and open its program. It gives a message u201CDo you want to generate a template automatically for the missing sectionu201D. Click u201CYesu201D. Inside the program insert the code u201CCALL TRANSACTION u2018FB03u2019. Display Financial Document.
Method:     Z_METHODXX
Name:      Method name: XX
Description:     Method Description: XX
Edit - Change Release Status - Object Type Component - Implemented
5. Create Key fields.
Create key fields with ABAP dictionary field proposal.
It is the identifying key, via which the system can access a specific object, that is, an instance of the object type. The key fields of an object type are usually also the key fields in the table containing the header data for the object type. Only character-based data types are allowed as key fields. The total length allowed for all key fields is 70 characters. Each key field refers to a field in the ABAP Dictionary.
Enter u2018BKPFu2019 in table name field and select all the key fields. Press Continue button. Next set the status of these key fields to implemented.
Edit - Change Release Status -Object Type Component - Implemented
6:Implement business object.
The whole business object needs to be implemented so click on the business object title andu2026
Edit - Change Release Status - Object Type - Implemented
Now you can check the syntax, generate the Business Object and then test it. Execute the custom method you created and give the Company code, Document number and Year.

IE 11 not launching in app mode

IE 11 will not launch in app mode, it only will launch in desktop mode. I have read the other posts and my issue is different. There are no other browsers on my machine than IE 11. In the control panel, in internet options, I set internet explorer

the result.
Here is the kicker, two days ago it worked for 5 minutes! There are no other software on this machine, it is a brand new Lenovo Yoga 11s. What is up with this browser not running in app mode?

Hi,
Please take a look at this settings:
Click the tools button in IE 11(IE 11 on the desktop), choose
Internet options, navigate to programs tab, on the

Full Screen Safari in Single App mode

I'm trying to configure some ipads for use as web kiosks. I can set Safari to single app mode and to only allow the one website we want used, but it still shows the bookmarks, share, new tab, and other buttons, along with the address bar, at the top. I also tried configuring a web clip for the site, and setting the web clip to full screen mode. That worked to get rid of the address bar etc, but if safari is in single app mode I can't launch the web clip, and if it's not in single app mode, the web clip works but other apps are also available.
How can I get Safari locked down to single app mode and showing the website in full screen only?
Thanks!

Profile Manager cannot set ibooks as single app mode in iOS

Right now I had updated all my iPad to iOS 8.0.2, and the server is updated to the newest version,too.
Sadly, When I want to setup the iPad to single app mode with iBooks, I cannot find it in the list.
Is this means ibooks is no long support on the single app mode? Then why give us the new function about push ibooks?
I have try the assistant function on my iPhone (8.0.2) itself, it can be locked in iBooks.
Any one can tell me what is the problem?
Many many thanks!

HI Hines,
I had the same problems after the 3.0.2 update: enrolling of devices not working, unable to push configurations from Profile Manager, etc.
The update was a simple 3.0.1 => 3.0.2 on already updated OSX Mavericks to 10.9.1 and it seemed that all was ok, not like this situation: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24450438
Services used:
-Web
-Profile Manager with 20 iPads/iPhones already enrolled and with some in-house app pushed
I followed a solution similar to what suggested from Hines, apart from point #6. I was unable to re-download Server.app from App Store, greyed-out button.
So I was very happy to have another mac to download a fresh copy of Server.app.
Then:
-Deleted and thrashed the old version
-Message "all services stopped"
-Reboot
-Copied fresh "Server.app" to /Applications
-Started "Server.app" that made some initial auto configuration
-Services restarted
I just had to restart the postgres service and seems that I didn't lost any data/config (I hope, I'm already checking!)

I know that Apple is essentially an hardware manufacter manly for consumer target now but that a simple minor update broke an entire software meant to be solid, like a server must be, is just plain unacceptable.

Start google chrome app mode maximized (gnome)

Hi All!
I am using google chrome's --app mode ("Application Shortcuts https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95710?hl=en ).
I am using gnome (3.16.2) and I am trying to make the shortcuts open maximized, instead of apppearing in a tiny window on the top left corner of the leftmost monitor.
Chrome version is 43.0.2357.125 .
Adding --start-maximized to the command line has no effect.
Thanks in advance,
Udi.
Last edited by nonZero (2015-06-16 20:25:14)

The full command may be for example:
google-chrome --app=https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive --start-maximized
I think I have found another clue:
If I change the size of the window *without* maximizing it, close it, and reopen it, it will remember the size and will open the window exactly on the same place.
However, If the window is maximized, it will not remember the "maximized" state and the new window will be tiny instead.

Doubt in creation of a new object

Hi All,
I have one doubt in creation of a new object.If a new object is to be created and it is not a subtype
of any existing object, then what should we enter in the Program field for creating the object?
I hope I am clear with my question.
Thanks in Advance,
Saket.

Hi Saket,
Following will be required for created a custom business object.
1. Object Type - ZTEST (Internal Techincal Key)
2. Object Name - ZTESTNAME (Technical Key Name)
3. Name - TEST (Name of BO, it is used while selecting the object type)
4. Description - (Short Description of BO)
5. Program - ZTESTPROGRAM (ABAP program in which the methods of the object type are implemented)
6. Application - A or B.. etc (Area to which your BO is related)
Please remember that you can learn these basic things by giving F1 help on those fields and in HELP.SAP.COM.
