Discoverer Standard Business Areas

Hi,
Does anyone have a link to any documentation where I can find out the list of Business Areas that come as standard with Discoverer?
Many thanks
Martin

Pl also identify the EBS version. See if these MOS Docs (and the docs they refer to) can help
Discoverer HRMS Business Areas For Compensation Workbench and Benefits          (Doc ID 560773.1)
Oracle Human Resources Management Systems (HRMS) Discoverer for Total Compensation and Benefits (OAB          (Doc ID 362434.1)
Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12          (Doc ID 373634.1)
The BAs and discoverer reports are shipped with each HRMS RUP or family pack. These need to be loaded into the database.

How R12 seeded (standard) business areas are created in fresh EUL

Hi,
As per Note ID 1074326.1 under section "6.8. Import Discoverer Content for E-Business Suite Release 12 using adupdeul.sh mode=complete"
all the existing business areas are also included while import.
Kindly let me know how R12 seeded (standard) business areas are created in fresh EUL.
Regards,

Hi,
The adupdeul.sh script uses the Java command line utility to import the EUL stored in the .eex files that are included in the R12 installation.

How to Copy Standard Business Areas in Oracle apps

Does anyone knows how we can copy new Standard BUsiness Areas in Oracle Apps for fresh implementations.
Thanks

Hi,
You can export the business area and then import it selecting the option to create a new version of duplicated items.
However, I wouldn't recommend doing this. If you just want a new business area, then create a new business area and use manage folders to move the folders you want into the business area. In general there is no need to copy the folders for new implementations but if you want to add copies of folders into the new business area then drop and drop the folders into the new business area.

Import Standard Business Area of Oracle Applications

Dear all,
I install Discoverer Administration 4i and i create EUL (Apps) to connect to Oracle Applications 11.5.0, when I import Standard(BASE) Business Area of Applications
,some BA are imported but not all.
Can anyone help me to import all BA ?
Thanks to all

Hi,
If you are just starting off, then you would be better off using the latest Discoverer 10g as Discoverer 4i is in de-support mode by Oracle.
see
Note 237607.1
Note 313418.1 Using Discoverer 10.1.2 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i
the java EUL command-line, comes with a logging feature.

Refresh Standard Business Area - Now have multiple flexfield segments

Hi,
Having a problem with one of the business area's not showing the correct folders in a UAT environment, so i refreshed the Business Area (right click -> refresh). We have 2 chart of accounts, 2 sets of books, 2 operating units etc, and now its added in a GL flexfield segment for each Chart of Accounts instead of the individual ones before hand. See pic below. This is a real problem, and this needs reverting back to how it was. We have 2 EUL's, one on Disco V4, and the other on Disco V10.

Would appreciate any help on this as its going to cause so many problems.

Hi Gary
When you did the refresh you would have been warned that Discoverer had uncovered changes between the folder in EUL and the object in the database. In order to get where you are you would have had to have accepted the changes because Discoverer will not of its own accord change your folder unless you agree to let it do so.
Just restore the folder from the last backup. That would be the easiest way of getting it back the way it was. If you don't have a backup then you'll have to manually work the folder to get it back into a clean state. I don't think you have damaged your EUL. You've just either got to restore the folder from a backup or manually put it back to rights. If you haven't been taking EUL Export backups now would be a good time to start.
The moral of the story is to pay close attention to what Discoverer reports when you ask it to do a refresh. If you see something you don't understand and need to check it out you should click the Cancel button. The EUL will be left unchanged and you can go and determine what is going on.
Best wishes

Oracle discoverer Administration - Business Areas

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install the Oracle discoverer Administration edition for a user, but only with query/view rights on Business Areas ?.
The user should not be able do make changes , but only to view certain BA : eg : folder links, custom folder queries, properties etc.
Or is there another way of getting the information regarding the setup for a certain Business Area ?

Hi,
It depends what version of Discoverer you are using. If you are using a later version (10g) then you can give the user administration privilege but no privilege to change the EUL (e.g. format business area). Then when the user connects to Disco Administrator they get read only access to the EUL.
If you are using a previous version then you will have to either write a report off the EUL tables that gives them all the information they need (The Oracle provided EUL Definition Business gives most of this information), or implement your own read only constraints using database triggers.
Hope that helps,

Discoverer refreshof business area

Hi I refreshed the Accounts Payables business area in the seeded EUL_US EUL. Now I am unable to see any of the invoice folders that use to exist in this EUL. Please advise how I can get all the old folders back.
I selected the AP business area then clicked on file and then refresh and then all the AP folders were gone.
Thanks.
Suhail

Hi,
how I can get all the old folders back.You can import the folder from another instance if you have.
There isn't a rollback for the discoverer administrator.
Also i suggest that before performing a refresh to a BA verify the the validation of folders by going to:
"View-> Validate -> folders" in the menu of the administrator

Not Standard Business Area determination

I need to determine Business Area acording to storage locations. I know that this solution is poor, but I cannot choose another way.
Storage loactions are already known during goods issue in delivery. So during, postings materials in delivery, Businness area should be determined/ changed. New business area must be updated also in related sales order, because from this document is taken into invoice and posting documents. What user exist should I use?
Maybe business area can be determined already during invoice creation? What do You think.
Thanks in advance for help!

Hello Gosia
I think you can influence Business Area determination during invoice creation:
Try Include LV60AA89 (Form VBRP_GSBER_ERMITTELN) in which you have the enhancement spot:
ENHANCEMENT-POINT VBRP_GSBER_ERMITTELN_01 SPOTS ES_SAPLV60A.
The include also uses Function module RV_BUSINESS_AREA_DETERMINE.
Work with an ABAPer ( if you are not one).
Let me know if it helps.

Can we copy standard buisness area folders to customise business area folde

hai,
I want to copy standard business area folders to customise
business area folders.How I have to link AP_PO_INV and how many folders
i will get in customise business from ap,po and inv.what are they.
Thanks

Hi,
As Russ says, yes you can take the supplied folders and copy these into your own custom Business Area - then add or subtract to them as much as you like.
How you join them will depend on your APPS set up - assuming that the joins supplied by Oracle do not fit your purpose.
You can also join your own simple/custom folders to these standard folders - again this depends on what you want to report and how you have set up your APPS (use of DFFs, custom tables etc)

Business area is nothing but a set of folders specified to that responsibility.

Expectations:
Client wants Input and Output tax
line items at Business Area level.
Please help to post the taxline itmes at business area level.

Hi Ashok,
It is not possible to derive business area wise tax line items. As per SAP standard business area never pass to tax line items while posting the journals ,if there is no document splitting activated wrt business area and no enhancments to fetch business area.
You can achieve the same ,if you implement splitting business area level or else enhancment.

Copying business areas vs managing folders

Hi all,
I am currently implementing the standard Oracle EUL alongside a bespoke one, but as ever 'standard' is not going to be completely that. So I have copied the standard business areas by exporting, renaming and importing in order to end up with a new business area that I can add to, take away from and generally mould to fit the business without destroying the original Oracle one.
This does mean that each folder needs to be renamed (as importing obviously won't let you keep an existing name) etc etc, so I'm now wondering whether it would have been a better idea to create a new BA and then share the existing folders using 'manage folders' etc thus keeping an even more vanilla version. presumably the down side of this would be recreating joins etc.
Does anyone have any opinions/advice on the best option here?
Thought I should ask before I get too far down the wrong road!
Thank you in anticipation
Emily

Hi,
I have copied the standard business areas by exporting, renaming and importingProbably not a good idea. Business areas are just buckets for holding folders. You assign security to business areas and therefore the business areas can be used to control access to the folders.
So it depends on why you want more business areas/folders. If you just need more business areas so you can more finely tune the access to the folders then you should create extra business areas and use manage folders to move the folders into the business areas. All the joins will be intact.
If you need additional folders because they need different joins or different item classes, then you need create new folders in the business area. You can do this by copying the folders, exporting/importing or by creating complex folder that map to the original folder. My preference is to create complex folders.

Restirct Data of Business Area based on Operating Unit

Hi,
I got two different responsibilities attached with two different Operating units assigned common standard business area Accounts Receivables. So i want to restrict data output based on Operating unit.
Your valuable inputs are highly appreciable.
Regards
Venkat,

Venkat.
Just to make sure I undertand you.
You have a responsibility called something like: AR_US and it's associated with an operating unit US. You have another responsibility called something like: AR_UK and it's associated with an operating unit UK.
1. If that's correct, then you could write 2 different workbooks where each one filters on what each responsibility is allowed to see and only share each workbook with the appropriate responsibility. Both responsibilities would be allowed to 'see' the same folder(s) in the EUL. The condition in each workbook (not the best option but done at many clients I've seen).
2. You could have a different business area for all folders for each responsibility. Then any report written against each one would just choose the appropriate folder (not the best option).
3. You could have one business area where you filter the data right on the folders in the EUL. Would require you to retrieve the current responsibility in the EUL, but not a problem. However, as hard coding the responsibilties at the folder level - not dynamic.
4. You could put the filtering in the actual database view. This is the slickest method as you only have one business area and any reports against the business area would simply filter the actual data on the row level. Additionally, any external query tool (ie: TOAD, etc.) would not see the data unless they set an environmental variable or comment out the security in the view. The easiest way to see how to do this is to copy the BIS format if you have BIS views installed in your organization (and are running Enterprise Suite (Apps)). Look at various views and look for near the end of the view code, a line such as: WHERE gl_security_package ...). That's where they do the filtering so you might want to see if there are any filtered accounts receiveable BIS views already doing this. (by the way, the BIS views you'll be looking for will be owned by APPS and start with: ARFG_

Discoverer Report: How to find Business Area name from Report Name.

Hi
I opened a report in Disco Desktop 4 -> Resonsibiolity --> Report Name.
So I know Report name but don’t know which Business Area it belongs to.
How to find Business Area Name from Report Name?
Cheers
Vijay

Hi,
There is no relationship between reports and business areas. Each report can be built from many folders. Each folder can be in many business areas.
However you can try the following SQL which may give you the result you want for an v5 EUL. You will have to modify for Discoverer 4 EUL:
select distinct doc_name, obj.obj_name folder_name, bas.ba_name
from eul_us.eul5_documents doc
, eul_us.eul5_elem_xrefs xref
, eul_us.eul5_expressions exp
, eul_us.eul5_objs obj
, eul_us.eul5_ba_obj_links bol
, eul_us.eul5_bas bas
where xref.ex_from_id = doc.doc_id
and doc.doc_name = &your_report
and xref.ex_to_id = exp.exp_id
and obj.obj_id = exp.it_obj_id
and bol.bol_obj_id = obj.obj_id
and bas.ba_id = bol.bol_ba_id

Discoverer Views not Working in Accounts Receivable Business Area

Discoverer Instance: OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.54.25
Database: Oracle 10G
Apps Version: R12
Problem: Related to our EUL for Apps
Description: A lot of views in the AR Business Area depend on views that are created with synonyms that have VPD data restrictions.
Example of this problem
The “ARFG_AR_TRANSACTIONS “view depends on the “APPS.RA_CUSTOMER_TRX” synonym. This synonym and “APPS.RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL” are both private synonyms owned by APPS that have the following creation script:
CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM "APPS"."SYNONYM_NAME" FOR "AR"."RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL";
The first synonym returns a null set when queried and the second synonym returns an identical set to its source table.
Source of the problem: It appears to be VPD data restrictions.
How to check to see if there are VPD data restrictions:
select
a.object_owner,
a.object_name,
a.function,
a.policy_group,
a.policy_type,
a.policy_name
from
DBA_POLICIES a
where
a.object_owner='APPS'
AND a.object_name='RA_CUSTOMER_TRX';
Solution: Our Discoverer administrator entered a service request on this and we were advised to apply patch # 6819715.
Can anyone speak of any issues associated with this patch?
Thanks,
Patrick
