ERD for Discoverer EUL tables

Does anyone know if Oracle supplies an ERD for the Discoverer EUL tables. I would like to have such a thing to generate reports about system use etc.

Hi Russ
How are you doing?
I'm afraid Oracle considers that to be proprietary information and is concerned over folks being able to reverse engineer the product hence they won't give away the inner workings of the EUL.
However, they did allow me to publish some of the workings in my Discoverer 10g Handbook which are printed in Appendix A.
In reality, if folks get hold of and install the EUL5 end user layer that is supplied on the Discoverer Admin CD it is not too hard to decipher most of what is going on.
Best wishes

  • ICX profile settings for Discoverer EUL

    Hi, I'm using Discoverer 4i Viewer with E_Business and I create a new EUL.
    How can I switch from the old EUL to the new one in order to see my reports ?
    I found this note on the Discoverer Forum:
    "Looks like you are using Oracle E-Business. If you launch
    discoverer viewer from E_Business then your ICX profile settings determine
    which EUL you be connecting to.
    The ICX profile settings is in your E-Business profile settings."
    Where can I find and modify my ICX profile settings ?
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    Thanks for your help guys, but unfortunately it doesn't still work....
    My previous EUL was called just "EUL". Now I created a new one called "EULEXP" and I modified the parameter ICX_DEFAULT_EUL with the value "EULEXP", but when I try to access my reports from Discoverer Viewer, automatically into the URL call appear again eul=EUL and not eul=EULEXP as shown below:
    http://gnvdev.ote.gr:8025/discoverer4i/viewer?ac=ORACLE~3a~22OTE~20HELPDESK~22~40crmdb&eul=EUL&nlsl=en-us&wbk=STATISTIC_REPORT_2_OK1
    If I try manually to set eul=EULEXP I have this error
    Authentication Failed.
    (Default or specified schema containing EUL tables is inaccessible )
    Where do I make the mistake ?
    Thanks

  • Required Oracle FND tables for Discoverer Install (Oracle App user)

    Hi does anyone know of set documentation or, via SQL Trace, which existing tables Discoverer looks for when setting up an EUL? For instance, our install requires you select the Oracle Apps User Schema and put in the password for that schema where your FND tables reside.
    Assuming some are missing in our current setup, what would be required in order for Discoverer to work in conjunction with the Oracle applications roles and responsibilities, etc.
    I found this list in Discoverer documentation and confirmed I know have that setup correctly with proper grants, etc.. The EUL is created but does return an error of "Table or View does not Exist" which can be passed over and you can proceed into the EUL - but there is an error upon logging into EUL.
    grant select on FND_USER to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_APPLICATION to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_USER_RESPONSIBILITY to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_ORACLE_USERID to &EULOWNER
    grant select on FND_DATA_GROUP_UNITS to &EULOWNER
    This is Discoverer 10g and Oracle 10g database.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Rod,
    I have confirmed that the Discoverer Administrator Responsibility has Administration, Desktop & Plus privelages.
    Furthermore, the account I am trying to login as - DSCADMIN has those permissions and is assigned that responsibility as well.
    It should be noted that when logging into the EUL as the DSCADMIN account, it prompts me to create a new EUL as one does not exist....however under the EUL ADMIN account (where the EUL was created), it recognizes the EUL since it is the owner.
    Am I missing something further - I've been through the documentation several times and can't figure this out - I have continually made progress but then hit a speed bump each time.
    It should also be noted that DSCADMIN is a database user schema account and also an Apps user as well - but this is how it was setup in our old enviornment so I wouldn't think this would make a difference.

  • Discoverer EUL for mutilple PROD database -- USER duplicates

    I currently have an EUL that is using a database instance (PROD) but in the near future I will be needing to also use (preferably in same EUL tables) TWO other production database instances.
    There may be DUPLICATE database user accounts between the THREE database instances; how does one handle this ?

    Hi,
    The reason the report fails with "Item dependency not found in EUL " error is most likely because the user does not have access to one of the business areas in the EUL or user in the database does not have access to a table/view or function used in the EUL. Is the EUL a database or Apps EUL? Check that the user can access all the EUL folders and items that are used in the report.
    The users' settings such as fan trap detection are held in the PC registry and so usually not overwritten by a re-install.

  • Discoverer eul version

    hello
    been using discoverer 4.1.37
    i'm testing the upgrade to 4.1.48 but when i connect to the EUL i'm not getting any "EUL needs upgrading" messages.
    can you confirm what the eul version should be for discoverer 4.1.48
    when i look at the eul4_versions table it says 4.1.14
    cheers

    Going back a bit in my memory, but I'm sure I remember that the 4.1.48 upgrade did indeed need a new EUL as many changes were made - a way better version.
    Once you're on 4.1.48, I believe you can't go back down to the lower version either, due to the same reason; new features, etc. added that weren't supported before.
    The key issue for you is not that it needs a new EUL, but when you upgrade your existing EUL, is it a destructive upgrade or not? In otherwords, does it create a entirely different brand spankin' new EUL, or does it alter the old one.
    Alter the old one and you've got problems if people are using the old one. A new one and you can test it to your hearts content and migrate reports into the new one before turning off the old one.
    I'm 99% sure it's not a destructive upgrade and indeed, creates an entirely new EUL. Maybe someone can add in if they're 100% certain.

  • TRM for Discoverer 4i

    Hi -
    We have Disco 4i installed. I need to query some of the tables to determine what workbooks are shared with what users and/or responsibilities.
    I have found the eul4_documents table which stores my workbooks. And I see the eul4_access_privs table, which I think stores the shared users - but I can't seem to make sense out of this table. Can anyone help?
    Also - is there a trm out there for Discoverer? The etrm on metalink doesn't seem to include Discoverer.
    Thanks!
    Lori

    The administrator is a client-tool, installed from the bi-tools cd. The default url for viewer/plus looks like http://<server>:<port, default 7778>/discoverer/plus or /viewer. When you don't run in applications mode (for Oracle eBS) then you can use db-accounts to logon to Discoverer, in the Administrator logon with the EUL-owner, go to manage->privileges and give certain db-accounts the privilige to query/create workbooks and manage access to one or more business areas.

  • Seeded EUL tables in Oracle Apps installation

    Hi,
    I am interested to know whether an Oracle Application (E-Business) installation comes with some set number of seeded EUL tables. Or does the number of EUL tables depend on the modules installed with E-Business?
    A related question is, when does a new EUL table get created? As you can guess I am a newbie with Discoverer but I know there are the standard tables like EUL5_Documents, EUL5_OBJs, etc.
    Thank you,
    Ellice

    Hi,
    When a Discoverer end user layer (EUL) is created, a set of tables (EUL tables) is created in a schema (the EUL owner). Application tables are then loaded into the EUL using Discoverer administrator and this results in rows being created in the EUL tables. The number of EUL tables never changes.
    The E-Business Suite comes with a Discoverer EUL (stored in .eex files) which can be loaded into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator (or using the seed command file). Loading the E-Business Suite EUL creates Business Areas and folders in the EUL allowing you to report on data in the E-Business Suite tables. You can either install all the modules or just some of them, most people just install all the modules as it is easiest.
    Hope that answers your questions.

  • Discoverer EUL Maintenance from Apps

    Hello
    To add setup changes and also key accounting and descriptive flexfields into Discoverer I think we need to regenerate the EUL views by running certain concurrent programs in Apps.
    On checking, I see 2 programs Discoverer End User Layer Maintenance, 1 for Financials Intelligence and 1 for Purchasing Intelligence. Are these the ones?
    Does anybody know about all the Apps concurrent programs to refresh Discoverer EULs with changes?
    Thanks

    well ... I hope they got their solution as it was over a year ago according to the original date of the post 8-)
    It sounds like you're talking about the BIS views in Oracle Apps. If so, yes, there's a process you run in Oracle Apps - as a particular user - to regenerate the BIS views in the database - and to pick up changes you've made in desc. flexfields, key flexfields, etc.
    Once done, the views in the database will be the correct 'generated' ones. However, you now have to bring the defintions into Disco EUL.
    You log into Disco Admin - and this is important - GO IN AS THE CORRECT USER who owns the database view (can't remember, but I think it's the account / responsibility that just did the regen in Apps). If you don't go in as the correct user (ie: you go in as a Disco EUL Admin, the owner of the EUL, sysadmin, etc.) - you're hosed. When you perform a refresh (and of course, don't check what changes it's talking about), then you'll lose all your views in the EUL (don't ask how I know this!).
    When you're in as the correct person, you perform a refresh on all BIS business areas, Disco Admin will compare your EUL's definition of the views vs the fancy, new ones in the database and add the columns (or may take away if so, old ones) to the ones in the EUL.
    However - just a note - if you're using a newer version of Oracle Apps (ie: including patches thay may have been done) than the last time you brought the BIS views into the EUL, you obviously won't see any new BIS views in the database that may have been added in the new version. The regen will compile them for you, but as you're performing a refresh, you may miss some hot, new, fantastic, save-the-company, views.
    That's a different story and one where you might want to make sure that the .eex file (that comes with upgrades and many patches) is the newest one used in the EUL when importing BIS view definitions.
    Sounds like fun ...

  • Reasons for Introducing database functions for Discoverer Reporting Needs

    Hi All,
    I would like to know the criteria other organizations have used in creating custom database functions specifically for Discoverer reporting needs. It seems good and appropriate to identify these reasons in order that they have a sufficiently good reason (e.g. in presenting this to a change management board).
    Here is a quick swipe:
    -query explain plan improvements
    -take away the complexity of having the end user deal with complex calculations
    -consistency of a value (e.g. a complex amortization calculation)
    -an attribute is used from a dependent table with a minimum cardinality of zero
    Can anyone list other good reasons in terms of Discoverer reporting?
    Thanks,
    Patrick
    Edited by: Patrick Bacon on Jul 15, 2009 10:30 AM

    Hi Patrick
    In addition to the reasons you have given the reasons for having functions anyway apply just as equally to Discoverer as they do to other applications.
    Typically the main reasons why I would use a function are:
    a) due to the complexity of the code, or
    b) to evaluate something which an end user either could not do or does not have access to.
    For example if a user needs to have aggregations from multiple tables side by side in a report, typically from tables which have no joins between them, I write functions to go get the individual results.
    One specific function that I use a lot is one that calculates the number of working days between any given two days. Some of my HR customers use such a function to calculate the number of sick days for an employee when obviously only working days should count. Doing this in a normal Discoverer calculation would be very hard. Retail customers might use this for calculating the number of days it took to ship and item.
    There are other reasons why I use functions but these are the typical ones.

  • How to Export EUL tables ?

    Hi all,
    I have upgraded Discoverer admin/ desktop form 4.1.37 to 4.1.48. When i try to connect to Administrator it asks me to export EUL tables so that it will upgrade EUL. Iam unable to connect to Adminstrator/Desktop 4.1.48 as a Application user.
    How to export EUL tables?
    Thankyou

    Hi,
    Your DBA should export the EUL owner schema using the database command exp. This will export all the EUL tables and will enable you restore the tables if the upgrade fails.

  • Query retrieval limit for discoverer reports in oracle applications

    Hi,
    I would like to set the query retrieval limit for discoverer reports in oracle applications. Can i have the steps for the same?
    Cheers
    Maytas

    Hi Maytas
    As Michael said the query retrieval limit can be defined by Discoverer Administrator
    like :
    - Discoverer Administrator >> Tools >> Privilege >> Select the user that will see the workbook >> Query Governor tab and there you setup the query retrieval limit.
    Note:
    Normally if you defined the limit for the user via Discoverer Administrator it should work but i saw that this was not happened in my case when i open Viewer so i entered with my eul owner on Discoverer Plus and defined the limit for all the workbooks
    Tools >> Options >> Query Governor >> Limit Query retrieved data to

  • Script to delete expired or errored scheduled workbooks for Discoverer

    Hi All,
    Can any one pont me to find a script to delete all expired and Errored workbooks in Database for discoverer?
    Appreciate all your assistance.
    Thankks
    -S

    Hi Asim,
    I don't think you can share the results of the scheduled workbook using Desktop. As for Plus, when you're signed on as the other user are you in the same database & eul and are you looking for "scheduled workbooks"?

  • Default URLs for discoverer 4i

    Hi All,
    Could anybody please tell me the default URLs for discoverer 4i adminitrator/viewer/plus and how to create a discoverer 4i user account so that user can log in and use the discoverer viewer/plus?
    Thanks a lot!

    The administrator is a client-tool, installed from the bi-tools cd. The default url for viewer/plus looks like http://<server>:<port, default 7778>/discoverer/plus or /viewer. When you don't run in applications mode (for Oracle eBS) then you can use db-accounts to logon to Discoverer, in the Administrator logon with the EUL-owner, go to manage->privileges and give certain db-accounts the privilige to query/create workbooks and manage access to one or more business areas.

  • AIM Document for Discoverer Reports

    Hi All,
    I want to know if there are any Oracle's standard (AIM) documents for Discoverer Reports, similar to MD Documents for Oracle Reports?
    Can you send me any such document? Or where can I find them?
    You can send me on "[email protected]" if you have any.

    Hi Pradeep,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. I have the table names but I need to create a functional specification document for reports like:

    2. RG23C Part 2
    3. ER1
    4. RG1
    5. PLA
    For all these reports we had already suggested the option for dowload to excel but client wants the reports to be created. Can I get some sample functional spec. for some of the above mentioned reports.

  • Default Excel for Discoverer Desktop

    I have searched through the forum but never really found an answer for changing the defalut excel for Discoverer Desktop. We are using 10.2.2.45.45c. When exporting to excel it defaults to Mircrosolft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook. We need it to default to Excel 2003 or later this year to Mircosoft Excel 2013.
    Is there a registry setting somewhere I can add ?
    We have a several excel files that are produced by command line and this is starting to cause us some grief.
