Customised Oracle Application and access to roles - Discoverer 10.1.2.0.2

Hi Gurus!
We are developing a customised Oracle application where we have users and roles...user - role mapping is done in the system administration module of the application.
Now, we are also developing Oracle discoverer reports based on this. Using 10g (10.1.2.0.2) for that.
When I am creating an EUL, I select 'New EUL for Oracle Applications users only' option, but, I do not have any 'FND schema' to specify. That's where I'm stuck up!
I want to give access to the 'roles' in tha same manner as I would give to the 'responsibilities' in Oracle Apps. But, I don't know how to do it here.
Can someone guide me on this?
Thanks and regards,
Aparna

Hi Aparna
If your application is not E-Business Suite you cannot install Discoverer into Apps mode. This mode is reserved for applications which are E-Business Suite, which basically tells Discoverer to use authenticate users using the FND tables owned by the APPLSYS user.
In your case, even though you appear to be using Oracle applications, because you want to take advantage of your roles you will have to install Discoverer into standard mode. As you are creating your EUL you need to uncheck the box which says grant access to PUBLIC and make this a private EUL. Then you will not have the headache of worrying about setting up new users. You simply manage what a role can do (Tools | Privileges) and what a role has access to (Tools | Security).
Now, when any any user connects to Discoverer their role will be evaluated and access will be restricted.
You can do the same thing using a PUBLIC EUL, except you need to reduce what that user can do (Tools | Privileges) to an absolute minimum, and then take control of this using roles. For example, you could have a set of functional roles, one each for say AP, AR, GL and so on, but you could further break this down by privilege, thus you could have roles called AP Viewer, AP User, AR Viewer, AR User and so on. The User roles would have full access while the Viewer roles would have a much reduced set of privileges.
You are basically setting up the Library approach that I discuss in my Discoverer 10g Handbook and in my white paper which you will find on my downloads page here: http://learndiscoverer.com/downloads/downloads.htm.
I hope this helps

  • Oracle applications and xserver

    Oracle apps dbas,
    When I tried o view the graphics in workflow manage on OAM, always got the error:
    "BIB-7000 Cannot access X Server".
    I found the metalink note: Note:351839.1 to explain the cause.
    But still a little bit confused about the Oracle Application and the xserver.
    How can I know the xserver is running on which machine?
    How can I know that every user can establish a xsession to access the server?
    Currently, I set the display on the box to my local computer.
    Is there any good documents to explain the xserver mechanism?
    Thanks,
    Lily

  • How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3.

    Hi All,
    How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3 system.What are all the possible ways to move bulk data from Oracle Apps to SAP r/3 system.
    Provide any 3rd party tools which supports data migration and also pls rpovide the SAP's own data migration tools with supports the above feature.
    Awaiting for best possible solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    the 3rd party tool is ETL , you can use ETL tool and the prepare the load files then you can use LSMW method to upload the data to SAP.

  • Oracle Identity and Access Management (11.1.1.3.0)   and IM difference?

    What is difference between Oracle Identity and Access Management (11.1.1.3.0) and Identity Management (11.1.1.3.0) ?
    From
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/oid-11g-161194.html

    When you run the config, you are asked to add some product. Have checked the "Oracle Access Manager with Database Policy Store" product?
    If not, you can add it by extending the domain. Once done you have to start two WLS servers (AdminServer and oam_server1):
    Start AdminServer with $DOMAIN/bin/startWebLogic.sh
    Start oam_server1 with $DOMAIN/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh oam_server1
    It might be that oam_server1 asks for username and password. This is fine for the first time. During the first start the necessary directory structure is created. Once it came up and enters RUNNING state, kill it and create a file boot.properties in $DOMAIN/servers/oam_server1/security with the entries username=name and password=pw in two lines and start oam_server1 again.
    Starting oam_server1 is recommend to get proper values in the oamconsole.

  • Registering Web Applications and accessing common files

    If I create 3 web applications and have a seperate folder for common jsps
              that the jsps in these 3 web apps include, how can I access the jsps and js
              in this common folder? The JSP compiler was able to compile. The folders I
              created are all under the applications directory, including the common
              folder. I use the inclide file directive with ../common/scripts.js and the
              compiler could not recognize the location.

  • Oracle applications and C#

    Hi Gurus,
    Iam building an application in C# which connects to oracle apps DB and does some operations. My concern is that
    the application works fine with apps user since it access the apps table. But i dont want to use apps user.
    In a typical production scenario, nobody will give apps user and pwd, so the application cannot be used in
    the production.
    Is there a work around for this ?
    Thanks,
    Sathish

    Hi Srini,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I could think of that, but again it is cumbersome to give access to all tables and API's that iam using. And i never know what are the tables in turn the API's access.
    So obviously we need to provide ALL access to apps tables for the custom account which is not possible in the production.
    Is there anyway we can initialize the apps ?? or any API available?
    Thanks,
    Sathish

  • Problem with applications and accessing database

    Hi
    I have a serious problem with my applications.I was trying to change "users"'s folder icon so I changed the setting in information.I don'y know what I did but It made these problems:
    many of applications does not open for example
    itunes-->The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have permission...
    picasa alerts me with a database error
    yahoo messenger just pops up once and doesn't open.
    firefox the same problem
    net monitor alerts with a database problem.
    evernote same problem
    all of my address book is erased.
    I think somehow I removed the db files or I changed the permission and the programs can not access to their db files.

    don't know the last thing I have done was trying to change the icon and after that I found out about the problem.Maybe sth else caused the problem . anyway I copied all of my files to a new user and I removed the user with problems & everything is ok here.thank u all.

  • How to add a CSV file to a desktop application and access it?

    I'm writing a desktop application for looking up phone numbers (this numbers are stored in a .CSV file). Where should I put the file in the project and how to access it? I intend to put it in the project and open it in a buffered reader!
    Thanks!

    The best place to put application data is probably user.home, as described in the [Store Application Settings and Components|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2305] post at SDNShare.
    If those listings are still messed up, try these alternate renderings of [AppStore.java|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/test%2FAppStore.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0] & [AppStoreDemo.java|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/test%2FAppStoreDemo.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0].

  • Oracle Portal and access data from OID

    I was trying to do the employee search on Portal. I need to enter firstname or lastname of an employee and click search button and it display employee details
    These are the steps I followed
    I created a database provider "Portal1" using the schema Portal
    Then I created a dynamic page using that provider
    This is the code I have in the dynamic page
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Example</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <H2>Example of A Dynamic Page</H2>
    <ORACLE>SELECT * FROM PORTAL.WWSEC_PERSON
    </ORACLE>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    Dynamic page was created successfully.
    This is my intention. Create a dynamic page and run it as a portlet and publish it in the portal repository. Then use that portlet as any other portlet on the page.
    I assume if I use a bind variable in the sql, I'll be able to pass the parameter (lastname/firstname) from the page and display the employee details on the page.
    This is my problem. When I tried to run the dynamic page as portlet, I am getting the following error. Please advise if I am doing something wrong or is there any other way to access emplyee details
    INTERNAL ERROR
    "Failed to parse the query, ORA -00942 table or view does not exist
