Oracle Discoverer 3i Viewer Edition provides additional capabilities for working seamlessly with Oracle Applications. You can specify NT Registry settings that automate much of the log on procedure for end users.

A.1 NT Registry Settings for Oracle Applications Users

In section Section 2.3.4.1, "Editing the Discoverer Server Preferences", you edited the Preferences file (pref.txt) with the IP addresses or machine names of each server being used for Discoverer Server. You use the same process to edit the other items in the Preferences file listed in Table Table 5-1, "Registry settings stored in the Preferences file". The other items in the Preferences file affect default settings that apply to all end users. When a new session starts, the settings in the Preference Repository take affect. You can view the individual end user preference settings from within the Windows NT Registry Editor.

For Oracle Applications end users, there are four specific NT Registry settings that you can use. The table below lists these NT Registry settings. For complete instructions on using all the NT Registry settings, see Section 3.3, "Editing the End User Preferences".
