Configuring Discoverer Plus to pre-populate login credentials

Have you ever noticed how Discoverer does not remember your user name, database and EUL whenever you log out and wished there was a way to make it do so?

Well, there is a way but you need to add some parameters to your URL to make it do so.

Let's assume the following:

• User Name is michael
• Database is prod
• EUL is eul5_us

All you need to do is to add switches to your URL and then save it in your favorites. The switches you need are:

• For User Name  use us=
• For Database use database=
• For EUL use eul=

Putting this altogether I can use: http://myserver.com:7779/discoverer/plus?us=michael&database=prod&eul=eul5_us

If you are using E-Business Suite you can also pre-populate this setting too by adding: lm=applications, like this:
