Discoverer Admin Login ??

Dear Members,
I am very new to discoverer, so my question is very basic. Our Company has two EUL. one whose version is 4i and another whose version is 3i.
There are few reports which were built using the version 3i EUL. We needed to migrate these reports to 4i. I need to stress here that we have 4i already installed. I installed version 3i of discoverer to find what are there in the EUL. I have a very basic question here.
When we log on to the Discoverer Admin we enter a username and password. Is this an application username and password or Database account. Suppose i want to upgrade the EUL , from which id should i login. Is this an Apps id or database login ???
Do we need to create a separate user especially for logging into discoverer admin or can we use an apps account. It would be great if any body explains , from which id do we generally login in admin.
What is the importance of colon(:) after the username while logging in to discoverer??
Thanks
Sandeep

Roelie,
Thanks for all your replies, it did help me. I did some investigation of what EUL we have. We have two schemas which are EUL_US and EULOWNER. EUL_US schema has a table eul4_bas which lists all the Bussiness areas that it has.
EULOWNER schema has a table eul_versions and when i query that table i find the ver_release as 3.1.13.0.0.0 which is the EUL version and EUL_US schema has a table eul4_versions and when i query this table i find the ver_release as 4.1.14.0.0. This means we have two EUL out of which one is Release 3 and another one is Release 4.
I suppose EULOWNER schema is for 3i release of discoverer and EUL_US schema is for 4i release of discoverer, correct me if i am wrong. I installed discoverer 3i to find what bussiness areas i have. I logged in as the eul owner on the EULOWNER schema. I did see some BA. Roelie you mentioned to query the table eul3_bas to find the ba, but i do not find this table in any schema. i did found eul4_bas table and could see the ba in it.
Can any one say in which table can i find the bussiness areas for the 3i release of discoverer.
So now our aim is to upgrade the 3i version of EUL to 4i. Since we already have an 4i version of EUL, how should i proceed. Thereare few reports which are built using the 3i version of the EUL. If i upgrade the 3i version of EUL to 4i will it any way affect the already exsisting 4i EUL ??
Our final goal is to move to 10g but before that we first need to move to 4i and then 10g.
It would be great if any one could help me out.
Thanks
Sandeep

Not able to connect through Application user name in Discoverer Admin

Hi,
I created an EUL with all privileges it needed. I created a business area from that EUL and shared it to Application User name through giving access privileges (from Security and Privileges). When I am trying to login through the Application User name in Discoverer Admin it is giving the error like:
Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applcations database: invalid username/password.
Earlier I did in another instance it worked fine but now itself I am facing the problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Arun Babu R.

Hi,
Please post the application release along with the database version and OS.
What is the Discoverer version?

Do i need a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

after having my mbp upgraded with new m.lion by apple tech service i noticed that applications like iphoto, garageband and imovie are gone
researched online and was told that i had to acess the `purchase` via AppStore where it asks me to log in with Apple ID and password
i used the usual admin login and password and didnt work, also on itunes and icloud the similar case
do i need to register with a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

Just use the same Apple ID and password that you used to access this forum - that's your Apple ID.
The user name and password on your computer has nothing to do with your Apple ID.
Good luck,

Whenever I launch firfox through non admin login, I get an alert message.

Whenever I open firefox through non admin login, I get following alert message. "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
After this, firfox opens but whenever I go to any web page having secure connection like orkut, facebook etc. firefox crashes. It works normally through admin login.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I suppose this started when I updated it to latest version i.e. 3.6.8 ==
== User Agent ==

Importing PL/SQL function in Discoverer Admin

Gents
I'm trying to import a PL/SQL function. In fact this functions is in a package.
When I try to import in Discoverer Admin, I'm not able to see this package and the function.
It's possible import a function from a package in Discoverer?
Must a grant some privilege in package or create a synonym?
Regards
Honorio

Hey,
I have a similar problem.
I created a PL/SQL Function which i registered in my EUL. Bun when I'm using this function on an item in a custom folder, this custom folder disappeared from my Discoverer Plus list of folders? When I delete the item which uses this function the folder shows up in my Discoverer Plus list of folders.

Product number CQ183A can not access setting in EWS keeps asking for admin login and password.

I installed the printer everything works until I try to access certain settings in the Embedded Web Server. I pops up a box asking for admin login. Initially, the status page claimed the Admin password was set even though I never set that up. Through chatting with tech support rests cleared this, it is now reporting Not Set. However, I still can not login to check/change settings etc.
I think this printer had been purchased then returned to the store because the manual was missing. I downloaded the manual and did not find any mention of how to access the password settings. So far tech support has not been able to answer my question,
Is there a default?
How do I access the EWS settings -> security to setup a password?

Hello MREnder,
From what I am reading, you may need to call in to get a factory reset done. These resets can only be done over the phone. You can find the number at eprintcenter.com under the support section.

Is there any solution to this ?

Cannot See Database Tables in BI Discoverer Admin

Hello All -
My organization recently upgraded to Discoverer 10g from Discoverer 4i. In 10g the EUL is called BIEUL and in 4i it was called V9EUL. During the upgrade, all the Business Areas belonging to V9EUL in 4i were assigned to BIEUL in 10g. I'm not sure how our DBA accomplished this part of the upgrade.
When I'm logged into BI Discoverer Admin (version 10.1.2.00.00) I am unable to see the database tables in order to create folders from them. For instance, today I want to create a brand new Business Area so I click on File...New to start the Load Wizard then I click on "Create a new business area" then I specify to load the meta-data from the on-line dictionary and click the "Next"button. In the next window (Load Wizard: Step 2) I can see all the available users as I expect so I check the user I want and click 'Next".
Here's the point where the problem arises. In the window "Load Wizard: Step 3" I see the user I chose in the "Available" list on the left, but when I click on + to see the tables owned by the user it does not expand and I cannot go any further.
I experienced the same thing when I try to add a "New Folder from Database" to an already-existing Business Area.
Many Thanks in Advance,
Patrick

At first it sounds like it's a simple matter as the EUL owner not having the rights to see the tables / views pointed to by the EUL (grants).
However, the part about the DBA where you say all BAs belonging to V9EUL in 4i wre assigned to BIEUL in 10g, I hope the DBA didn't do anything fancy. All the EUL manager should have to do is fire up the new version of Disco Admin 10g and it will see that the existing EUL is a version 4 one and will ask if you want to upgrade. Saying yes, you will get an entirely new EUL, tables, etc. created pointing to the same database tables / views as your still existing v4 EUL is.
So you'll have 2 EULs - a v4 one and a v10 one as it's not a destructive upgrade.
Is it possible the DBA hacked something? - or just a grants problem to the new EUL owner?

How to find out the updates using query which has done in Discoverer Admin

Hi All,
I have done some updates in Discoverer Admin like add field in some folders and rename...I want to know the updates which has been done in the front end using sql query.
Could any one please tell me is there any query to find out the updates in Discoverer admin.
Thanks,
Kamal

Hi Siddarth,
Solution :
        1) Go to SE16 - Table Name : EKBE (PO History)
        2) Field - BUDAT (Posting Date)
        3) Transaction event Type:
                         - 1 (Only GR's )
                         - 2 (Both GR and IR)
        4) We can fetch both GR Numbers and also PO Numbers for which IR has not been done if transaction event - 1.
In addition to MB5S, you can try this also...

Complexity of PL/SQL in Discoverer Admin

Hi,
Read you can register PL/SQL in Discoverer Admin - how complex can this be?
Something comparable to the stored procedures in SQL Server?
I guess it returns only one value as the output?
Thanks!

As Rod mentions, it's a question of if you want to or not.
One method I have used with this idea in mind, is when wanting to set up a table to report against, dependent upon a worksheet that does nothing more than take a user's input and runs the process.
For example, you may need to build a table - for whatever reason - at the point a user runs the worksheet. Then the process runs, table built and the user goes to another worksheet to see / query the results.
I've always had the function call a pl/sql script (and make sure you have the autonomous transaction statement as specified by Rod), you just register the function in Disco and all works fine.

I have created a page where I have buttons like delete and create report buttons. I am able to delete or add row in report(on same page), but whenever I click on delete or Add button, application ask for Admin username and password. Afte giving username/password, operation gets successful. But I dont want this login page to pop after clicking delete or add button.
I have not written any process which ask application for this pop up. Infact i dont have any idea why pop up is coming.
To tackle this problem,I tried entering following in OPTIONAL URL REDIRECT in Delete button.
javascript:confirmDelete(htmldb_delete_message,'DELETE');
But after that delete button became inactive. I am not able to understand, what is going wrong here:-(
Please help me to get rid of Admin login Pop up.
Thanks in advance!!!

User logins fail; admin login is okay

I'm running 10.3.9 all the latest updates on a 1 Ghz DP G4 with 1Gig RAM.
Admin login works fine; three user logins go nowhere... beachball just spins and I have to power off the comp to get out.
If I log in as Admin user and switch to another login, password is accepted but the desktop remains blank.
Running the comp in target mode, I can see the files of the various users.
Disk Utility looses connection (as mentioned in another post), not certain if this is also an iTunes update issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
1Ghz DP G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

After following the information to move iTunes to the desktop, I was able to run Disk Utilities and repaired persmssions.
However, there was no change in the ability for users to login. These users are managed, not standard.
I reinstalled OS 10.3 in archive mode, checked logins (which were fine) and installed the 10.3.9 update. Logins are broken again.
I can change the users to standard and they can login with no problem, but the moment I restrict anything (such as cannot change the dock) the logins fail.
Changing the users to standard allows logins; make them managed and they fail.
Certainly seems like a permissions issue, but repairing permissions does no good.
Any suggestions other than doing a clean install?

Preventing Discoverer Admin replacing underscores with spaces on refresh

Hello,
On refreshing a Business Area, Discoverer Administrator will automatically replace underscores with spaces for any new items/folders to be incorporated. I would prefer this not to happen i.e. the names should retain the underscores. I haven't found any way to do this from within Discoverer Admin - are there some registry settings that I can tweak or is it just not possible,
Thanks in anticipation,
Kevin.

Hi,
Well, you could try using a eul_trigger$refresh_new_column trigger. I must admit I have never tried this, but the details are in the documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13916_04/appendix_b.htm#sthref2417).

Hi Tamir,
As i was having only discoverer plue in 11i i can only export using disc.admin.
Disc plus dont have options for this
THanks a lot for your tip..It worked
I selected
Refresh The Object
and "By Identifier"
I checked only take ownership if original owner can not be found
and it worked fine
I have few more clarifications
1)
When I click on =Refresh the object
there is a check box at the bottom says: Preserve Display Related Properties
Should I check it or not
2)
Also when I open the workbook under my name
workbook was opening only with this option->
Open the workbook in the current database account
If the workbook is asking if i need to substitute a join, I may need to do that right?
thanks
