What is a Discoverer connection?

A Discoverer connection stores login details that enable you to connect to Discoverer. Each connection stores the following information:

• database user name

• database password

• database name

• (optional) Oracle Applications responsibility

• language

• EUL

Discoverer login details are saved automatically when you create a connection. From then on, you can start Discoverer simply by clicking on a connection name in the Discoverer connections list that is displayed when you run Discoverer.

Notes

• You can also start Discoverer without creating a connection, by connecting directly (for more information, see "How to start Discoverer by connecting directly").

• For more information about saving login information in a private connection, see "How do I create and save login information in a Discoverer connection?".

• If you require login details to enable you to create your own Discoverer connections, contact the Discoverer manager.
