How to quickly create or modify Oracle E-Business Suite BI Publisher based reports

BI publisher is used extensively in Oracle E-Business Suite. The standard Oracle design for the report layout often prevents the report from being exported to Excel in a usable format.

Making changes to the displayed columns or parameters usually requires the submission of time consuming change requests that often sit in long queues waiting for development resource availability.

Oracle BI Publisher report development requires specialist developer resources to build / modify the XML layout designs. The end to end process typically takes a few days per report plus the test and debugging cycles.

From an operational view-point; waiting for such requests will result in a manual re-work process including V-Lookup's and or reformatting of report data. This wastes time and effort and often leads to mistakes and or incorrect results.

In this video we will demonstrate a much faster method. In this example it took just a few minutes including import and modification of the standard Oracle BI report to Blitz Report.

We also cover, how to alter the report output and add new parameters without the need for the laborious time-consuming XML template re-design.

Rapid report build steps:

1. Download and install Blitz Report to your development instance.

2. Import a standard Oracle BI Report, in this example we will use the 'All Inventories Value' report.

3. Make the required report changes.

4. Validate the report to the standard Oracle report and add version control details.

5. Import your new Blitz Report to UAT or test instance, etc.
