reg_key.dc is a good try, as the documentation says :  When an individual user changes a preference, this change is stored in the reg_key.dc file on the Discoverer middle tier.

Did you follow the MOS note -> How To Migrate Discoverer Plus and Viewer User Preferences After Moving from One Server to Another (Doc ID 459508.1) ??

Did you copy the files to the correct locations?

- copy $OLD_ORACLE_HOME_/discoverer/util/pref.txt to $NEW ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/util/pref.txt
- copy $OLD_ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/.reg_key.dc to $NEW_ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/.reg_key.dc

As you may already saw, the reg_key.dc is a hidden file, it has a "." as prefix.. So did you do that copying correctly?

Are you sure that you remove the reg_key.dc file in the new oracle home, before this copying activity?
You can't see the "." hidden files in Linux without using ls -al.. If you use just ls, they wont be shown..
