How to Define Workbook / Business Ares Security Correctly for new Users

Hi All,
Please could you help me understand the Security Model for Workbooks and business Areas as I believe I am very close to understanding it, but missing something important.
Background Information:
We are using the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger) to build our reports on. These are the steps I am taking to try and assign a new user & responsibility access to the existing report.
1. I create the Report in Discoverer Desktop under the ‘General Ledger Responsibility’ logged in as myself – assume report name = ‘Report_1’.
2. I create a new Responsibility in Oracle Apps called ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’.
3. I create a new User in Oracle Apps called ‘Joe Bloggs’ and assign the responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ to the Joe.
4. Logged in as myself in Discoverer Desktop, Responsibility ‘General Ledger’ I Share the Report (Report_1) to the new Responsibility I just created ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’.
5. In Discoverer Administration, Security, I assign the new Responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ to the predefined Oracle Business Areas (Payables, Receivables, Purchasing & General Ledger).
6. In Discoverer Administration I set privileges so that the Responsibility ‘Discoverer Resource Coordinators’ can do all tasks, query data, administer. .etc. etc..
7. I therefore believe everything has been done and attempt to Login and run the report under Joe Bloggs, but am unable to retrieve any data.
Help… what am I missing!
Thanks,
Lance

Dear All,
This has now been adjusted according to your recommendations but to no avail.
Myself and Lance have ensured that this new responsibility has unlimited access to all the existing Business areas to eliminate joins within folders not being recognised, we have also ensured that the workbooks that have been created are shared with the correct responsibility.
I have thoroughly tested this set up by logging in as this new responsibility within Disco. Client to try and retrieve data in a new Workbook, but even for the simplest of queries this fails.
It seems that there may be a problem with the Responsibility linking to the EUL, could this be due to the new responsibility being created after the Current EUL was set up?
Does anyone have any information or knowledge where this could happen?
Regards

    Hi Gurus,
    I am working on a issue of business area not being auto populated in MIRO transaction. Can anyone please help me out with how to make the business area populate in there.
    I have already checked that business area is set as a mandatoty field in this transaction and linked with Plant (OMJ1). Also the cost centers also have the business area defined at the master data level.
    I really appreciate the quick response
    Regards

    Hi,
    Entries happen in background like tax you are not able to get the business area(if you are using new general ledger you can get just check once)
    for other entries line items like vendor you can give the business area in MIRO header.
    After you posted the document check the gl account balance respective business area wise in FAGLB03.

  • How can I make Business area field optional in MIRO

    Hi,

    check the GL accounts field status variant attached to the Invoice posting.
    also check in PO whether u have the BA field filled up. in case u r using BA accounting then that value shld be there..... as u said u dont want to put BA as field in miro , that means u r not using BA thing... so u can always maintain all the FSV of GL for BA as optional/supressed...

  • 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.

  • Business area not determined for line item?

    Hello All,
    I am trying to create a sales order. When I enter a line item and enter plant for the item, it gives me an error "Business area not determined for the line item #" and it does not accept the item.
    I have already checked in the enterprise structure in IMG that the business area is defined and assigned for this plant.
    Is there anything else need to be done? Do we have to define or assign the business area in material master?
    I would appreciate  if somebody can answer.
    Thanks.

    There are three rules for determining a business area:
    o   Rule 1: plant and division 
    o   Rule 2: for each sales area          
    o   Rule 3: for each plant and item division

  • Automatic Business Area Derivation Rule for Vendor Line Item in MIRO

    Hello Experts,
    We trying to use Business Area concept for our client.
    I have completed all configuration setting for the business are derivation like
    1. Creation of Business Area
    2. Assign Business area to Plant / Division (OMJ7)
    3. Business area determination from sales area (TVTA)
    4. Business Area by Sales Area
    5. Checked Field Status Group for Customer and Vendor Reconciliation Account
    It is working for for compelete sales process and in Procurement cylce it is picking business for MIGO transaction both the line items.
    But
    In MIRO (Purchase invoice posting) it is automatically taking Business area to the GR/IR line item and it not taking Business area for the vendor line item (automatically)
    I comes know that there is a business area derivation rule for this to happen automatically.
    Can you please propose the soulution for the automatic derivation of business in MIRO for vendor line item.
    Regards,
    Chalapathi

    Hi,
    I do mot think there is a BA derivation rule for MIRO.
    The best you can do is:
    1.  Use a user exit or enhancement point for deriving the BA from the GR/IR line and populate that in the vendor line
    or
    2.  You make BA as a mandatory field in the field status group for the vendor reconciliation account.  This will then force the user update the BA.  We use this option.  This is so because at times, the vendor item may need a different business area than the GR/IR line.
    Cheers.

  • How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server

    Hello,
    I'm curious if there is a batch file that can be made to move the contents that are setup like this....
    I'm having to redo a TS cluster and I'd like to make a batch file script that can be executed that moves the contents of say 'jsmith's local desktop profile @ \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith to a centralized folder on our roaming desktop profile server that saves
    all of the files for the desktops @ \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith.
    The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then
    next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and
    have all of the files they are used to having.... 
    Now I know I can do this with a MOVE command I've just never done one to this exact.
    Hopefully someone knows the command to move all the contents of one folder on one server to the folder on a different server. I've already got the bulk of the coding done of the .bat script I just don't know this move command:
    would it be this:
    move \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith *.* \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith
    any help would be appreciated, I'm sure this is a easy command to do!
    This is the coding I have so far....
    @echo off
    color 0A
    title Moving Local Profile folder to Centralized Profile Folder on Core Server.
    :start
    echo Welcome, %USERNAME%
    echo What would you like to do?
    echo.
    echo 1. Moving Local Profile folder to Centralized Profile Folder on Core Server
    echo. 
    echo 0. Quit
    echo.
    set /p choice="Enter your choice: "
    if "%choice%"=="1" goto Move-user-profiles
    echo.
    if "%choice%"=="0" exit
    echo Invalid choice: %choice%
    echo.
    pause
    cls
    goto start
    :Move-user-profiles
    echo.
    set /p profile="Enter user profile: "
    move "\\NGTTS1\users\%profile%" *.* "\\NGTFS1\users\%profile%"
    echo moving files from local profile folder to FS1 profile server, stand-by...
    echo.
    goto cancel-special 
    :cancel-special
    set /p cancel="Type cancel to stop action: "
    if not "%cancel%"=="cancel" exit
    cls
    echo Action is cancelled.
    echo.
    pause
    exit

    In Windows we would do this using Group Policy.  There is a Policy setting that csn move the Desktop folder to any server you want to move it to.  Once set it will automatically do this for you.
    You should post in the Group Policy forum to find out how we use Group Policy to manage users profiles in Windows.
    You cannot use a script to relocate a users Desktop folder.  The desktop is locked by the time the users logon script is finished running.  It the desktop and profile are already being managed by Group Policy then this can only be done with GP.
    There are also numerous issues associated with deployment and re-deployment that you need to address  Post your questions in the Winows Deployment forum to get assistance with deployment issues.
    Again - want you are asking is not generally possible because of how Windows is designed.  This would only likely work on a simple system or on a stand alone PC and then only under a very limited set of circumstances.
    Use GP folder redirection to do this.  For deployment use Deployment Forum and for TS specific issues post in the RDS forum. 
    All of  this needs to be considered correctly for TS users inn a TS Cluster environment. (TS Cluster?? - not sure what you mean by that.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
