Only the Admin can view the data in the Discoverer Reports

Question

Hello,
Discoverer Version Info:
OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.3)
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.55.26)
Discoverer Model - 10.1.2.55.26
Discoverer Server - 10.1.2.55.26
End User Layer - 5.1.1.0.0.0
End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.55.26
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
Everything was working fine until we applied some database patches.
Users cannot see any data in the discoverer reports. Only the Admin can see data. Even the LOVs do not populate any values for the regular users.
Can someone please advise as to what is happening?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi Akshaj,
It would certainly be hard for me to replicate (I am on 10g), but perhaps you could identify the patches that were applied and this would help people discern the problem.
I would narrow down this problem to one business area. Next, identify what users or responsibilities have been granted access using the Discoverer admin tool. Has anything changed?
Confirm which users have been granted access. Has this changed because of the patch?
I would look at the session sql to see if there is some change after the patch (something like this):
select
from
v$sql
where
parsing_schema_name = 'APPS'
and module in ('Disco10, DISCOADMIN:Discoverer_login_responsibility','dis51ws@apps_server_url (TNS V1-V3)')
order by first_load_time desc;
Hopefully you have a test or development environment which has not received this patch and you can juxtapose the authentication behavior.
