  If you select this option, the Oracle Applications User check box is not displayed in the Connect dialog.

• Connect to applications EULs

  Use this option if you only want to connect to Oracle Applications EULs using Discoverer Administrator.

  If you select this option, the Oracle Applications User check box is not displayed in the Connect dialog, but you must login using your Oracle Applications user ID and Responsibility.

  Note that if you select this check box, you can only log in to Oracle Applications EULs.

• Connect to both standard and applications EULs

  Use this option when you want to be able to connect to both standard and Oracle Applications EULs using Discoverer Administrator.

  If you select this option, the Oracle Applications User check box is displayed in the Connect dialog.

  • You can connect to Oracle Applications EULs by selecting the check box and specifying Oracle Applications connection details.

  • You can connect to standard EULs by clearing the check box and specifying standard database user details.

Applications EUL Settings

Use these fields with an Oracle Applications EUL. Discoverer Administrator uses default values for both these fields if you do not enter any values.

Gateway User ID (GWYUID) / password

Use this field to specify the user name and password of the public Gateway (identified by the Gateway User ID/password) that Discoverer Administrator is to use when logging in to an Oracle Applications EUL. Use the slash (/) character to separate the user name and password.

You enter a Gateway User ID to override the default values (APPLSYSPUB/PUB) that Discoverer uses.

If you do not specify a Gateway User ID and password, Discoverer Administrator will use the default values specified above.

Foundation Name (FNDNAM)

Use this field to specify the FND schema that owns the core Oracle Applications tables and views.

Enter a Foundation Name to override the default value (APPS) that Discoverer uses.

If you do not specify a Foundation Name, Discoverer Administrator will use the default value specified above.

Notes

• The default values for the Gateway User ID/password and Foundation Name for Discoverer Administrator, are defined in the Windows Registry. For more information, see "About Discoverer Administrator and Discoverer Desktop registry settings".
