Discoverer V5 EUL Business Area

Can anyone tell me how to get the Discoverer V5 EUL business area installed and how to get the EUL 5 Data Definition reports? We upgraded from 4i to 10g recently and we have the business area and reports for EUL 4, but I need these same components for EUL 5. I need the statistics reports for the new version.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi Troy
Now this one I can answer :-)
You log on into SQL Plus, or use TOAD, as the EUL owner. You locate and run the script called EUL5.SQL which you will find in the $ORACLE_HOME\discoverer\util folder on the PC where you installed Discoverer Admin 10.1.2.
Next you launch Discoverer Admin and use File | Import to load the EUL5.EEX file which you will find here in the $ORACLE_HOME\discoverer folder on the PC where you installed Discoverer Admin 10.1.2
That's it. You can now connect to Plus as the owner of the EUL and run the workbooks that come pre-built.
Best wishes
Michael
P.S. if you are using E-Business Suite you need to run the script called EUL5_APPS.SQL

  • Discoverer V5 EUL Business Area to Multiple EULs

    Hi,
    I have an EUL DISC3 which has V5 EUL Business Area & workbooks installed. There is an old EUL DISC_ADMIN which we are keeping aroud for some reason.
    Now we want to use these EUL5 Workbooks to create workbooks against DISC_ADMIN EUL. How can I do that?
    Do I need to run eul5.eex again without running eul5.sql because it is the same database?
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There are two ways you could do this. You could change the owner property of all the EUL5 Definition folders in the DISC3 EUL so that the folders point to the DISC_ADMIN EUL. Then run the workbooks using the DISC3 EUL.
    Or, you could load the eul5.eex into the DISC_ADMIN EUL and run the eul5.sql again (as the DISC_ADMIN EUL owner) and then run the workbook using the DISC_ADMIN EUL.

  • Can only Discoverer Administrator create business area for EUL ?

    Hi experts
    I have a problem. I've got eul.eex from other people, I imported it to discoverer,so I can see the business area , folders and the tables I can connect with.
    But right now ,I need to change these table's names which means I can't use eul.eex to finish my business work(also I need to change the name of current business area). Is there any easy way to resuse eul.eex that I don't need to re-create a new *.eex to adjust the modification of table's names?
    BTW. I've read Oracle discoverer 10g administrator guide , and it introduced that I can use Discoverer Administrator to create a new business area , so here's my another question , is Discoverer Administrator the only tool to create a new business area and folders ?

    I've already solve it , installing Discoverer Administrator and Discoverer Top on my pc

  • Best practices for EUL/Business Areas

    What is the best way to handle multiple business areas? Even if they have no relations with each other?
    Should I have one EUL with many business areas in it? Or many EULs with one business areas in each?
    Does any one know where I can find the advantages and disadvantages of each?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hey there (repost of a similar thread in this forum).
    Many clients I've been at have the exact same discussion. And the one I push for is to have 1 EUL, let the BIS views have their own business areas and like you said, don't customize them.
    For all corporate business areas, folders, etc. just create them in the same EUL but the business areas have a corporate prefix (ie: coca cola would have a CC_ prefix). That way ALL folders can access the BIS views if wanted (ie: join across business areas), special setups (ie: LOVs) could be in a particular business area where ALL folders could access) and updating BIS views with new versions would be a problem.
    I really don't like multiple EUL as it's one of those simple things that can be a gotcha' for many end users that drives the helpdesk nuts trying to understand why a particular user can see his info.
    Just my take (and of course, what I think is the 'best practice' 8-) ).

  • Can I extract Conditions and Calculations from the Discoverer V5 EUL?

    I have been using The Discoverer V5 EUL Business Area to extract information on workbooks such as the owners, report names, descriptions etc. I am trying find out if the conditions and calculations within reports are stored separately within the EUL5 tables? So far I have only been able to extract the entire SQL.
    Does anyone know if the conditions and calculations are stored within the EUL5_DOCUMENTS.DOC_DOCUMENT field or elsewhere? I am looking for a quick way to access them which avoids having to look at each report manually.
    Thanks
    GB

    Hi GB
    You are out of luck. Conditions and calculation associated with a workbook are embedded within the workbook itself and are not accessible outside of it. Workbooks themselves are stored as binary objects within the database and are not decodable.

  • Set default business area in discoverer

    Hi, All
    I have a problem about the business area shown in the report.That is, When I open discoverer report,the business area that show in the drop down button does not match to the folders that I use to create my discoverer report. Anyone know how to correct this problem?
    Thank you
    Mcka

    Same issue here. I noticed one thing that by default the first Business Area in the list is shown & not the one we choose for current report. And i don't think, Oracle can provide any way to change it because Reports are associated with folders & there is no clear association of reports with Business areas.

  • Business Area not visible to account with admin privileges

    Hello,
    I've encountered the following scenario on visiting a client site:
    A Business area has been created by the EUL owner account (IFL) and he has granted admin privileges to another account (BRIANB who has been granted the DBA role). However, when BRIANB logs onto DIscoverer Admin, the Business area in question is not visible. BRIANB is able to create a new business area in the EUL which includes folders that are part of the 'invisible' BA. BRIANB is not able to access the 'invisible' BA using Discoverer End User. I'd be very grateful if anyone out there has an explantion for this,
    regards,
    KEvin.

    Problem solved. My client inadvertently created an additional EUL when initially logging onto Disco Admin as BRIANB. Thereafter this was the default EUL. The errant EUL has now been deleted the required BA's are now in view,
    Kevin.

  • Export views and business areas from dev to prod.

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using oracle database 10gR2 and Oracle BI Discoverer Administration 10gR2.
    I have an End User Layer disadmin1 with 10 business areas. This EUL also have folders for the views in its own schema. I used original import/export utility to export this EUL from Development to Production environment.I exported the schema disadmin1 form development and imported it into production into same shcema disadmin1 (This exported the views too) . It is absolutely working fine.
    Now I have to develop 5 more business areas in the same EUL as phase 2 development I am keeping the EUL disadmin1 for bug fixing for initial 10 BAs, and I have another EUL disadmin2 to develop new business areas. For these new business areas, I have to firrst create views and then create folders on these views in disadmin2. I will export the new business areas form discoverer utility 'Selected Business Areas' from disadmin2 and will import them into production in original EUL disadmin1. My problem is how can I export new views from development to production.
    Thanks for the help.

    With Discoverer, there is not necessarily one right way to do things. There is certainly nothing wrong with the process you are doing. I believe Oracle had a different process in mind with Oracle, but that does not mean your process is wrong. Did you install the seeded (Oracle term) business areas that come with Discoverer, and activated the business views for those Oracle business areas? Put those into Production and your users can develop workbooks on the fly in Production, rather than wait for something to go through a development-test-production process. Which can be good or bad depending on your individual situation. As for creating new views, I suggest talking to your Oracle technical team to see what process they have for approving new views in production and getting those views created. I would suggest getting those approved and created first before relying on using them for Discoverer development (just in case the creation is not approved), but that is just my opinion.

  • Discoverer Admin EUL Schema

    Is it possible to get the schema of EUL (Business Areas and Folders created in EUL) in some format lie ER diagram from the Admin.

    There is no such utility in Disco Admin, which can generate such ER diagrams. But you can use Disco status workbooks & the Disco BA based on EUL schema to generate reports showing such information. (See Oracle Disco Admin Doc, chapter titled : EUL Status Workbooks).

  • 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,

  • Move Business Area and EUL from one schema to another

    Hi,
    I need to take a EUL from the schema where it is now and bring it to another schema. I use Oracle Discoverer 3.1 Admin Edition to Export Business Area then import it in the new schema. Everything works fine except the fact that workbooks (.dis file) created in the original schema returns no data (as it does in the original schema).
    Anybody can help ?

    Hi,
    There could be a number of reasons for this, but the first thing to check is whether Discoverer is generating the same SQL when the report is run in the two EULs.
    If the SQL is the same Discoverer could still return different data if for example there were user specific conditions in the query or language specific conditions in the query and the default language was different in the EULs.
    Are you using an Apps or database mode EUL? What is in the workbook query that you are running?

  • I am not able to see the Business area in Discoverer desktop

    Hi,
    r
    I am new to Discoverer
    I have created a business area in EUL with user name and password as dewip/dewip in Discoverer administrator and now when I am logging in to Discoverer Desktop with the same user name and password to create workbook I am able to log in but I am not able to find the Business area in the Discoverer desktop.
    After creating the business area do we need to do anything ( We don't even have save option to save also).
    In Discoverer admin -> tools-> privilages I checked to see the privilages for this user ,but I could not see this user name(dewip) only.
    Please help me ,its urgent.
    Thanks,
    gsr

    Hi gsr
    If you are working on Desktop and you change the default EUL but it doesn't stick this means that you don't have Admin rights over your machine.
    In order to make these setting stick you need to have permission to update the system registry.
    If you really cannot be given these rights then I suggest you ask you system admin to change the registry setting for you on your machine so that it reflects the correct EUL. You will find it here:
    1. From the Start button, use Run | regedit
    2. Open your registry to display HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Oracle | Discoverer 10
    3. Expand the folder called Database
    4. Inside here you will see one set of settings that begin with AEUL and another with UEL. The format is like this:
    AEUL_username_database and UEUL_username_database
    5. You should see the name of the default EUL in the column called Data
    6. Right-click on the setting you want to change and from the pop-up select Modify
    7. Type the name of the EUL that Desktop should default to for that user in the database, making sure you type it in UPPERCASE
    8. Click the OK button
    9. Close the registry
    When you now connect to Discoverer Desktop you should be in the correct EUL.
    Note: this is only required if you don't have admin rights on your PC. If you do have admin rights then Discoverer will set this for itself.
    By the way, if you or anyone reading this is unsure about manually editing your registry you should back it up first. Here are the steps:
    To backup your registry, follow this workflow:
    1. From your PC, click Start | Run
    2. In the Run dialog box, type "regedit" and press the Enter key
    3. The registry will now be displayed
    4. From the registry menu bar, select Registry | Export Registry File
    5. When the Export Registry File dialog box opens, give a name to the file you want the registry to be saved as
    6. In Export Range, check "All" or "Selected Branch" - Selected Branch will export the current folder, so if you happen to have already navigated down tp the appropriate Discoverer Administrator folder you will be able to back it up
    7. Click the Save button
    8. Close the registry editor
    To restore your registry, follow this workflow:
    1. From your PC, click Start | Run
    2. In the Run dialog box, type "regedit" and press the Enter key
    3. The registry will now be displayed
    4. From the registry menu bar, select Registry | Import Registry File
    5. Navigate to the folder in which your registry is saved and locate the file
    6. Click the Open button - the registry will be restored
    7. Close the registry editor
    Best wishes

    Log into Discoverer Plus, cancel through the Create Workbook page and then choose Tools/Options, EUL tab and ensure that you are connecting to the correct EUL.
    Also, in Disco Admin, ensure you have granted the Disco Plus logon account access to the Business area.

  • Import selected business area from an exported EUL file

    Hi,
    Iam using Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1) , Is there a way to import selected business Area from an Exported EUL file into the Discoverer.
    Thanks,
    Krishna

    Hi Krishna,
    We cannot import a specific business area from the exported file as the file is combo of all BA's in .eex format.
    Instead before exporting process,i.e when going through the export wizard you can select specific business area required and then import it.Hope this helps you.
