The “Oracle” option is the new logon method which utilizes the Oracle web based screen to capture your user name and password. This method is also compliant with Oracle Single Sign On. When you click the sign on button you are presented with the screen below where you select which Oracle connection you wish to use.

When you click the logon button the Oracle log on screen will appear. Enter your applications user name and password.

When you click Login on this web browser the window will close and you will be presented with a list of responsibilities that are linked to your user name. You will see one of the two windows displayed below. If your site is licensed to use the GL Wand Multiple Sets of Books feature, you will see the image on the right. Else the screen will appear like the image on the left. Trial users using an in-house trial key will by default have access to the Multiple Set of Books (MSOB) feature.

  

Select the responsibility that you wish to use and click ok. If you are licensed to use the GL Wand MSOB feature you can select multiple responsibilities. Click an item to select it and click it again to unselect it.

If you are licensed to use the MSOB feature you also have the option of logging on to all the available sets of books. This option must be enabled by setting the applicable profile option at user level. With the profile option set to yes for a particular user, that user will have an extra item in the list of available responsibilities. This “All Sets of Books” option allows a user to log on to all the sets of books configured in the Oracle instance without needing to select multiple responsibilities.

Please note that when logging on with the “All Sets of Books” option, no security rules are enforced. For this reason you must enable this option for those GL Wand users that are authorized to report across all the configured sets of books. By default this options is disabled for all users.

If you log on to an Oracle Release 12 instance and the data access set linked to the chosen responsibility contains more than one ledger or ledger set you will be logged on to all the applicable ledgers.
