The following diagram provides an overview of where data is stored
for your reports for integration with BI Publisher.
Figure 1. Application and BI Publisher
The application contains:
- The application data that appears on your reports.
- The language-specific headings, labels and messages on your reports.
- The layout file name to be used for the report.
BI Publisher contains:
- How your reports look.
- Information about scheduled reports and reports that have already
run.
The DBMS contains the SQL used to retrieve the data on your reports
(residing in database functions).
Note: BI Publisher can be configured to retrieve data via a service
call. Because every business object can be read via a service call,
elements that reside in a Character Large Object (CLOB) can be displayed
on reports produced using BI Publisher. See your product's Optional
Products Installation Guide for information on this configuration.
