Oracle Discoverer 3i Viewer provides additional capabilities for working seamlessly with Oracle Applications.

A.1 Specifying display of the Applications User Checkbox in Connect Dialog

You can set up the Discoverer 3i Viewer Connect dialog to enable an Oracle Applications user to log on using an Applications `Responsibility' by displaying the Applications User checkbox.

To set up the Connect dialog to display (or hide) the Applications User checkbox, access the configuration file located in: <iSUITES_HOME>\apache\apache\htdocs\disco3iv\html\disco3iv.xml
and set the "show_login_method_control" argument to "true" or "false" as required.

To specify the default state of the Applications User checkbox, change the following line in the disco3iv.xml file:

<application auto_connect="false"/>

<application auto_connect="false" apps_logon="yourdefault"/>

where "yourdefault" is either "true" or "false".

For more information about editing the disco3iv.xml file, refer to Section 3.2.6, "Editing the disco3iv.xml file".

A.2 NT Registry Settings for Oracle Applications Users

There are four NT Registry settings that you can set in the pref.txt file specifically for Oracle Applications end users.

Table A-1 Registry settings stored in the pref.txt file.
