You define a report by assigning values to report tags using the reports editor or a text editor. You can create a new report definition for each report, or you can open and modify a report definition. You can save the report definition with an RPT or HDE format.
You must specify these attributes for every report:
This example shows a Report Type, Report Description, and Point of View for a Journal report.
The Point of View definitions are different for each report. For detailed examples of reports, see Explore Data Report Example, Journal Report Example, and Creating Intercompany Partner Matching Reports .
The date, time, and user fields are automatically displayed as header information on all reports.
When you create a Journals, Explore Data or Intercompany Partner Matching Report on the Desktop, the report definition is created automatically and opened in the System Reports module. When you create a report from the Journals module on the Desktop, it opens in the View tab in the Reports module. When you create a report from the Journals module on the Web, you can preview the report or save the definition. When you create a report from the Explore Data module, it opens in the Design tab. You can use the Design view to modify a report script before you generate the report. You can then set a report description, apply a new style sheet, and save the report locally or remotely.
When you use reports on the Web, the system creates temporary files and log files containing information about these operations. You should set up a file transfer directory other than the Financial Management Web directory to store these temporary files. For information about creating this File Transfer directory, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
