15 steps to Create an End User Layer for R12 and Importing all Business

Areas

Summary: Discoverer 10g Import of all Base EEX Files are done when the existing
End User Layer needs to be rebuild or corrupted.

This action plan will help in building a fresh End User Layer from the existing EEX
Files on the Middle Tier of the Server. The entire below action plan does not require
any Windows Utility as 10g BI has EUL API's to handle the discoverer related
activity. This enhancement help Discoverer Administrator to work more on less time
with flexible EUL API utilities. The same activity could also be performed using the
Discoverer Administrator Utilities on Windows.

Execution Summary: EUL5_US Database Export is taken as a Rollback Action Plan.

The End User Layer EUL5_US is completely dropped. Using the EUL API's or
DIS51ADM the new empty EUL is created. Once the EUL is Created, Generate All
Business Views is run from the Oracle Applications. Once Generate All Business
View is completed, Invalid Objects in the Database is compiled and made sure that
there are no new invalids. Mount EBSO Application Tier Server Node
$AU_TOP/discover to Oracle10gAS Discoverer Instance. Import the Contents using
adupdeul.sh using MKS Toolkit and Refresh all the Business Area.

Caution: All Customers Customized Business Area and Workbooks will be

completely removed when importing all the Base EEX Files.

Services / Component Affected: All Discoverer related Services

Downtime Estimation: This action plan depends on the Database Load and an
average time will be around 8 Hours

Action Plan using EUL APIs:

1. Take an EUL User Database Export ( User : EUL5_US )

Operations will take the export dump and move it to $AU_TOP/discover.

2. Run the following sql;

select default_tablespace from dba_users where username='EUL5_US';

3. Drop the EUL5_US User ( drop user eul5_us cascade; )

4. Connect to the 10g Discoverer Instance

5. Make sure TNSPING Works towards the EBSO Instance from the 10g Discoverer
Instance.
6. Create New Discoverer End User Layer
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/eulapi
-CREATE_EUL
-APPS_MODE
-CONNECT system/@
-USER EUL5_US
-PASSWORD
-DEFAULT_TABLESPACE
-TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE
-EUL_LANGUAGE US
-APPS_GRANT_DETAILS APPS/

7. Regenerate Business Views by running the "Generate All Business Views" Resp:
Business View Setup responsibility.

8. After Regeneration of the Business Views has been completed, check the
Business View Generator output file. It should not contain any errors.

9. Recompile all objects in the APPS schema using adadmin.

10. Ensure the BIS views exist and all BIS views are valid by issuing the following
command in
SQL*Plus:
$ sqlplus apps/@
SQL> select object_name from user_objects
where object_type = 'VIEW' and
status = 'INVALID' and
( object_name like '%FV_%' or object_name like '%FG_%' or
object_name like '%BV_%' or object_name like '%BG_%' );

11. Mount EBSO Application Tier Server Node $AU_TOP/discover to Oracle10gAS

Discoverer Instance.

12. Grant End User Layer Administration Privileges to SYSADMIN

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/eulapi
-CONNECT /@
-GRANT_PRIVILEGE
-USER SYSADMIN
-PRIVILEGE administration
-PRIVILEGE all_admin_privs
-LOG

13. Make sure user SYSADMIN has full security access to all Business Areas
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/eulapi
-CONNECT /@
-GRANT_PRIVILEGE
-USER SYSADMIN
-BUSINESS_AREA_ADMIN_ACCESS %
-WILDCARD
-LOG

14. Import Discoverer Content for Release 11i using adupdeul.sh mode=complete
sh adupdeul.sh
connect=sysadmin/sysadmin-password@< ;EBSO_DB>
resp="System Administrator"
gwyuid=APPLSYSPUB/PUB
fndnam=APPS
secgroup="Standard"
topdir=
language=US
eulprefix=EUL5
eultype=OLTP
mode=complete
iashome=
logfile=import_complete_eul_us.log

15. Refresh the Discoverer End User Layer
