Set Up and Implement Discoverer End User Layer 4i (EUL)

1. Start the Apache & Discoverer Services

[IAS HOME]/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start[IAS HOME]/806/discwb4/util/startall.sh.Also run startgatekeeper.sh (if it is not included in startall.sh).Make sure Discoverer Launcher & viewer page is coming up fine.

2.Install Discoverer 4i Administration edition in a desktop.

3. Apply latest discoverer admin edition patch 3206101 in the desktop where discoverer admin edition is installed.

4. Apply the patch 3451630,3622870 on the desktop where discoverer administration edition is installed.

5.Download the MKS tool kit software & install on the same desktop where discoverer administration edition is installed.

6. Stop Apache & Discoverer services.

[IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start [ORACLE_HOME]/discwb4/util/stopall.sh.

Run the below commands & make sure everything is stopped.ps –ef | grep disco.ps –ef | grep osagent.Ps –ef | grep oad

7. Update pref.txt at [IAS HOME]/806/discwb4/util

a) Append the pref.txt with the values in DeltaPref.txt

b) Collect the new variable & values from New_pref.txt and update

pref.txt

c) DefaultUserTypeIsApps = 1

d) ShowUserTypeChoice = 1

e) Remove the entry DisableAutoOuterJoinsOnFilters from pref.txt

f) Update the pref.txt with IP address of the host

8. Apply the updated pref.txt from <ORACLE_806_HOME>/discwb4/util/

$./applypreferences.sh

Check the file error.txt and make sure there are no errors.

9. Restart the services

[IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl stop[ORACLE_HOME]/discwb4/util/stopall.sh[IAS_ORACLE_HOME]/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start [ORACLE_HOME]/discwb4/util/startall.sh

10. Create Tablespace for new 4i EUL – End User Layer

create tablespace DISCOVERER datafile '<mount>/discoverer01.dbf' size 1024M reuse extent management local uniform size 128K;

11. Create new Discoverer 4i End User Layer, this creation process to be done from windows pc thru Discoverer Administration Edition

Before creating 4i EUL, a) Install Discoverer Administration Editionb) MKS tool kit in a windows desktop

From the desktop execute the following

Z:\>C:\orant\DISCVR4\DIS4ADM.EXE /CREATE_EUL /APPS_MODE /CONNECT system/<password>@<sid> /USER EUL4_US /PASSWORD eul4pw /DEFAULT_TABLESPACE discoverer /TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE temp /SET_EUL_LANGUAGE US /APPS_GRANT_DETAILS apps/<password> /SHOW_PROGRESS

The above screen shows the completion of 4i EUL creation

12. Set the following profile options

ICX_DISCOVERER_RELEASE = 4

ICX_DISCOVERER_LAUNCHER = http://<HTTP Server>:<Port>/discwb4/html/discolaunch.htm?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]

ICX_DISCOVERER_VIEWER_LAUNCHER = http://<HTTP Server>:<Port>/discoverer4i/viewer/?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]

ICX_DISCOVERER_USE_VIEWER = Yes

ICX_DEFAULT_EUL = EUL4_US or EUL

ICX_DISCOVERER_EUL_LANGUAGE = US

ICX: Media directory = OA_MEDIA

ICX: HTML directory = OA_HTML

ICX: Default Flow Operand = is

Applications SSO Login Type = LOCAL (optional)

13. Apply the Patch 2921686 for the Business View Generator and restart the services

14. Submit the request “Generate All Business Views” - thru Business view setup responsibility. Make sure the request completes without any errors.

15. Recompile all objects in the APPS schema using adadmin

16. Ensure the BIS views exist and all BIS views are valid by issuing the following command in SQL*Plus:

select object_name from user_objects where object_type = 'VIEW' and status = 'INVALID' and ( object_name like '%FV_%' or object_name like '%FG_%' orobject_name like '%BV_%' or object_name like '%BG_%' );

17. From the windows desktop, connect to Discoverer Admin Edition as EUL User and grant EUL Administration privileges to SYSADMIN/System Administrator thru menu Tools -> Privileges

Note: - For all further End User Layer Administration activities you must use the Oracle Applications User/Responsibility SYSADMIN/System Administrator. This Applications user must import and own the Workbooks and Business Areas of all future Discoverer 4i patches and share them as applicable with other Applications users and responsibilities.

18. In order to import the additional discoverer reports.

a. Create a folder in windows desktop as c:\au_topb. Download all the file from $AU_TOP/discoverer from the server

to the desktop where discoverer administration is installed.c. From the windows desktop, thru MKS Tool kit,

Start -> Run -> CMD -> ksh (Now the cmd is enabled with ksh env)

Now you could find few driver file & adupdeul.sh at c:\au_top\discovererFrom the ksh environment, execute the following

sh adupdeul.sh \connect=sysadmin/<PASSWORD>@<SID> \resp="System Administrator" \gwyuid=APPLSYSPUB/PUB \fndnam=APPS \secgroup="Standard" \topdir=c:/au_top/discover \language=US \eulprefix=EUL4 \eultype=OLTP \mode=complete \exedir=c:/orant/discvr4 \logfile= import_eul_us_test.log

After the import check the import_eul_us_test.log for status = 0.If there is any error please resolve that before you proceed.

d. Refresh the Discoverer 4i End User Layer, by connecting to

C:\orant\DISCVR4\DIS4ADM.EXE /CONNECT "SYSADMIN:System Administrator/<password>@<db>" /EUL EUL4_US

Then Open all Business Areas and select all, then from menu File -> Refresh.

Repeat the above steps c & d for other driver files if there are any updates has been released and make sure the status of import is 019. Restart the Application services

[[ORACLE_HOME]/discwb4/util/startosagent.sh & startoad.sh

[[ORACLE_HOME]/discwb4/util/applypreferences.sh

[[ORACLE_HOME]/discwb4/util/registerall.sh

21. Now stop the services & start it again.

22. Restart the Application services

Now the both 4i Discoverer plus & Discoverer viewer are ready.

Discoverer Viewer: http://<HOST>:<PORT>/discoverer4i/viewer

Discoverer Launcher: http://<HOST>:<PORT>/discwb4/html/discolaunch.htm

Login to the above URL thru sysadmin login.

23. Grant EUL user privileges for required Application Responsibilites.
