Discoverer 4i error msg "A database role exists which confilcts with this username"

Question

When I try to open workbooks -> from database, I get a Discoverer 4i error msg "A database role exists which confilcts with this username" with only an "OK" button in the window. The database works fine for Discoverer 3.1. After clicking on the OK button, I get an empty list of workbooks to open. If I create a new workbook & try to save it, I see the list of dozens of workbooks in the database.
Which role is it complaining about? How can I fix this?
null

Answer 1

What you will have to do is log into the database as a user with DBA priveleges, query the DBA_ROLES table (SELECT * FROM DBA_ROLES) and see what role exists that has the same name as the user you are logging in as... that should give you a direction to either rename the role, or the drop the user and recreate with a unique name... Good Luck!
