Oracle Discoverer Desktop User's Guide 10g (9.0.4) for Windows Part Number B10272-01 |

This Appendix contains the following sections:
The following Oracle Applications features are supported by Discoverer:
These features are only available when Discoverer is running against an Oracle Applications database (Applications Mode).
To connect as an Oracle Applications user (Applications Mode), you need the following:
When you connect to Discoverer as an Oracle Applications User, the Connect dialog prompts you to enter your Oracle Applications connect details, (see Status box in Figure B-1).
If Discoverer is not configured to use Oracle Applications EULs, you need to re-configure your Connect dialog, (see Appendix B.3.3, "Configuring the Oracle Applications user Connect dialog").
Note: An Oracle Applications User check box appears beneath the Connect box when Discoverer is configured to use both standard EULs and Oracle Applications EULs, (see "Connecting to Discoverer as an Oracle Applications User"). |
Once you have configured Discoverer to use Oracle Applications EULs, (see Appendix B.3.1, "Before you start"), connect to Discoverer as follows:
Note: The Oracle Applications User check box appears beneath the Connect box when Discoverer is configured to use both standard EULs and Oracle Applications EULs, (see "Configuring the Oracle Applications user Connect dialog"). |
NOTE: The Oracle Applications User check box is displayed when Discoverer is configured to use both Oracle Applications EULs and standard Discoverer EULs, (see also Appendix B.3.3, "Configuring the Oracle Applications user Connect dialog"). |
The Choose a Responsibility dialog displays a list of Responsibilities that are defined. If there is more than one Responsibility defined, you must choose one assigned to you by your Oracle Administrator.
Before you can connect to Oracle Discoverer as an Oracle Applications User, you have to configure the Oracle Discoverer Connect dialog, as follows:
If you wish to change the default Gateway User ID and Foundation Name settings, see Appendix B.3.3.1, "Entering details into the fields GWYUID/Password and FNDNAM".
When you connect as an Oracle Applications User, you may wish to change the default Gateway User ID and Foundation Name:
NOTE: See your Discoverer manager for Gateway User ID and Foundation Name details. |
To configure Oracle Discoverer to use only standard EULs, configure the Connect dialog, as follows:
When connecting to Discoverer Desktop as an Oracle Applications user, you can edit your shortcut properties to enable you to log in automatically in various ways.
Here are three examples that show how your Discoverer shortcut can be configured:
dis51usr.exe /APPS_GWYUID GATEWAY_ID /APPS_FNDNAM FOUNDATION_ID /APPS_USER
where:
GATEWAY_ID is your Gateway User ID, (this must be in upper-case).
FOUNDATION_ID is your Foundation name, (this must be in upper-case).
Here, the /APPS_USER argument specifies that Discoverer should connect using Oracle Applications usernames. In the Discoverer Connect dialog, the user enters their username as a concatenation of the Applications username and responsibility, separated by a colon character (:). The Password and Database string are entered as normal. For example:
dis51usr.exe /APPS_GWYUID GATEWAY_ID /APPS_FNDNAM FOUNDATION_ID /APPS_USER /APPS_RESPONSIBILITY RESPONSIBILITY
where:
GATEWAY_ID is your Gateway User ID, (this must be in upper-case).
FOUNDATION_ID is your Foundation name, (this must be in upper-case).
RESPONSIBILITY is your Responsibility, (this is case insensitive).
Here, the /APPS_RESPONSIBILITY argument specifies that Discoverer should connect with the Responsibility defined. In the Discoverer Connect dialog, the user enters in their Username, Password, and Database as normal. For example:
dis51usr.exe /APPS_GWYUID GATEWAY_ID /APPS_FNDNAM FOUNDATION_ID /APPS_USER /CONNECT username:responsibility/password@database
where:
GATEWAY_ID is your Gateway User ID, (this must be in upper-case).
FOUNDATION_ID is your Foundation name, (this must be in upper-case).
username is your Username, (this is case insensitive).
responsibility is your Responsibility, (this is case insensitive).
password is your Password, (this is case insensitive).
database is your Database, (this is case insensitive).
Here, the Discoverer Connect dialog is bypassed and a connection is made automatically.
