SSO Using Sys_Context function in Discoverer to validate

Question

We are using a calculation which uses the function SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') in 10G, we are now upgrading to 11G and this function does not work. Can someone direct me to what action I need to change 'Client_Identifier" to or how to make this work in 11G

Answer 1

Hello
Are you talking about upgrading Discoverer from 10g to 11g or the database from 10g to 11g?
Also, when you say "it does not work" can you be more specific? Do you get any error messages and have you been able to test this using something like TOAD?
Perhaps it is as simple as a missing grant to the Discoverer user? Here's the script I use, perhaps you can take a look and see if your users have the same privileges.
accept username prompt'Enter Username: '
accept pword prompt'Enter Password: '
create user &username identified by &password;
grant connect, resource to &&username;
grant analyze any to &&username;
grant create procedure, create sequence to &&username;
grant create session, create table, create view to &&username;
grant execute any procedure to &&username;
grant global query rewrite to &&username;
grant select any table, unlimited tablespace to &&username;
grant execute on sys.dbms_job to &&username;
grant select on sys.v_$parameter to &&username;
Does this help?
