Unable to log into plus as apps user

Question

I have created an APPS EUL using instructions provided by link: Armstrong-Smith Consulting and am able to log into Discoverer Administrator as SYSADMIN and administer the EUL that was created under a DB Account.
I gave administrative rights for a business area to an apps user.
I am trying to log into Discoverer Plus and/or Viewer using the apps user account with administrative rights to the business in the EUL above and am getting the following error;
<p>
<strong>Error</strong>
A connection error has occurred.
-Unable to connect, possibly due to an invalid Applications GWYUID setting. Please contact your Discoverer manager.
How do I go about connecting to the APPS EUL or am I approaching this the wrong way? The end goal is to set up end users who can use this EUL to create reports for our facility.
Apps Version 12.0.x
DB Version 12.x
E-business Suite

Hi
Is this Kevin? :-)
If so, I sent you an answer in an email. If this is not Kevin, here is a possible solution:
It sounds like your APPLSYSPUB account has a different password to the standard PUB. Because of this you will need to change this setting inside your pref.txt file.
If you look in this folder: *$ORACLE_HOME\Discoverer\Util* you will see a file called pref.txt. Edit that file and look for the GWYUID setting and change the password to match what you have inside Admin.
After you have edited the file, save it then from the same folder execute the file called applypreferences. On Windows it is a BAT file, on Linux and Unix it is an SH file.
After you have applied the privileges you need to stop and restart the Discoverer server using opmnctl shutdown followed by opmnctl startall when run from the *$ORACLE_HOME\opmn\bin folder*.
This should do it.
Best wishes
