Toad hangs when retrieving User Script 

When using the Schema Browser, user selects select a User and the User Script tab. Toad hangs (or taking a long time) on a 10g db. When user uses 9.2.0.5 database, User script works as it should.

Does not appear to matter which user is selected . Toad does not return script and it hangs. Changing the Optimize hint does not address issue.

Also, right-clicking a user then clicking Create Script does not work no matter to File, to Screen, or to Clipboard.

If you have connection issue, modify bi_init.bat under BI install folder\oraclebi\orahome\bifoundation\server\bin, replace all ORACLE_HOME to OBIEE_HOME, and add new ORACLE_HOME for the actual oracle installation path:
@echo off
set OBIEE_HOME=C:\Program Files\Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus Client\oraclebi\orahome
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\11.2.0.3\owb
set ORACLE_INSTANCE=C:\Program Files\Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus Client\oraclebi\orainst
set ORACLE_BI_APPLICATION=coreapplication
rem call %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\%ORACLE_BI_APPLICATION%\setup\user.cmd
