Instance Viewer Options

For instance documents derived from the US GAAP taxonomy (or a related extension) Disclosure Management uses the SEC Interactive Financial Report Viewer (also known as the SEC viewer). The dependent files required to render the US-GAAP-based instances are not shipped by Oracle. Disclosure Management users must download the source code for the SEC viewer. The source code can be downloaded from: http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/xbrl/xbrlviewerlicense.htm.

Note:

The SEC Viewer can be used only to display instances derived from a US GAAP taxonomy. It should not be used to view an instance that directly references the US GAAP taxonomy for SEC submission. When viewing instances that reference taxonomies not located in the same directory, the SEC viewer may not contain the full set of taxonomies. For example, if taxonomy “A” is in the ADir directory and it references taxonomy “B” in the ADir\BDir” directory, the instance package may not include all the referenced taxonomies. The limitation exists because the taxonomy references may become too large, and including them all in the instance package is impractical. To resolve this issue, copy the taxonomies from the file system of the server to the file system of the client and maintain the original directory structure.

  To download the latest version of the SEC viewer:

  1. Go to: http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/xbrl/renderingenginelicense.htm.

    Three downloads are available. Although Disclosure Management supports all three downloads, Oracle recommends that users download the personal renderer, which is the smallest file (12MB).

  2. Select Download the Rendering Engine configurable binary distribution.

    The link is: http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/xbrl/renderingengineconfigurablebinary.zip.

  3. Select the link: http://www.viewerprototype1.com/downloads/secviewer_src_2008-12-24.zip and download the viewer.

  4. Unzip the source code files to your installation root source folder.

    Note:

    It is recommended that you unzip the SEC source code files to a local drive instead of a shared network drive.

  5. From the Disclosure Management ribbon, select Options, and then XBRL.

  6. Select Use the SEC Interactive Financial Report View to render the US-GAAP-based instances.

  7. In the SEC Viewer Path, enter the root location of the source folder.

  8. Click OK.
