Overview of End User Layer
An Oracle Applications mode EUL is a Discoverer End User
Layer based on an Oracle Applications schema (containing
the Oracle Applications FND (Foundation) tables and
views). Oracle Applications EULs employ Oracle
Applications user names and responsibilities whereas
standard EULs use database users and roles.
The only database user (that is, non-Oracle Applications
user) that can connect to an Oracle Applications mode EUL
is the EUL owner. The EUL owner is the database user that
is used to create the EUL. However, the EUL owner can
grant administration privileges to Oracle Applications users.
The authorized Oracle Applications users can then connect
to the Oracle Applications mode EUL using Discoverer
Administrator.

Overview of Business Areas
A business area is a collection of related information in
the database.

A business area is a set of related information with a
common business purpose

For example, information about Sales may be stored in
one business area, while information about Cops is
stored in another business area.

In simple words it can be termed as collections of
objects in a particular module

Overview of Business Folders
Simple Folders Folders that are based on a
database table (e.g.: ITEM)

Custom Folders Folders that contain a
custom SQL query.

Complex Folders Folders that are based on
multiple simple folders.
