RWMS uses Oracle BI Publisher as the interface for RWMS reports. RWMS reports may be custom-designed by your own organization. The BI Publisher interface is also customized to organize and present the reports available to RWMS users. The BI Publisher tool also exposes its reports as a web service which can be accessed from the Oracle forms.
Click Reports from the top horizontal navigation menu of the RWMS user interface. The Oracle BI Publisher 11g web interface opens on a separate window/tab on your browser.

Note: You can use Oracle BI Publisher in your web browser to view reports. The RWMS application is still available and you can continue with the operations. |
The following figure shows the default view when BI Publisher is opened from the RWMS application.
