Depending on the internet browser you are using and how your company's network server is configured, you might see a dialog about security when you first start Discoverer Viewer. This security dialog appears when Discoverer Viewer requests extra permissions to access the Discoverer server or local devices (e.g. printers). If you do not want to see the dialog every time you connect, select the option "Always trust content from Oracle Corporation." Click Yes (or OK or Grant depending on browser) to continue starting Discoverer Viewer.
When you start Discoverer Viewer, you cannot open multiple browser windows (e.g. for Internet Explorer) and continue to use Discoverer Viewer in the new browser windows.
