Dear Experts,

I've installed Oracle Discoverer using weblogic on
Server: 64 bit Redhat 5.5

I can get to the weblogic admin console at:
http://black.testrac.com:7001/em

All the systems are up with lots of green lights and arrows.

But what is the secret to login to Oracle Discoverer as a user?

This webpage (on my server)
http://black.testrac.com:8090/discoverer/viewer

Brings me to a screen like the one shown here:
http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13918_03/urlstart.htm#i1014049
in section 13.4.3


I keep looking and looking all over Oracle Docs for a simple example on how to login.
But alas, as usual, have not had any luck.

1)
What are all the unspoken prerequisites???
(ie. With the Oracle database, you need sqlplus and a tnsnames.ora file on the client, and the listener must be started or the server)

1b) Must I create connection strings before a successful login?

2)
What is a simple example of a database connection string that works? (Non-RAC)
ie. servername:1521:THEORACLESID
or
THEORACLESID
or
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = black)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = STOREHOUSE)))
or
something else?
??



3)
The options in the drop down, Connect to, are:
Oracle BI Discoverer
Oracle Applications
Oracle BI Discoverer for OLAP


What are the default user names and passwords?
ie. in Oracle Apps R12, there is:
SYSADMIN/sysadmin
OPERATIONS/welcome


4)
Where are some clear and concise docs on this?

Thanks a lot!
