Testing P6 Sample Reports

To test P6 sample reports, you must:

Assign Enterprise Reports module access to the P6 user.
Have a Oracle Analytics Server user who matches your P6 user name and has the P6 Reports role.
Run publication services first to ensure the report runs successfully.

To test sample reports:

Log in to P6.
Click Reports.
On the Report page:
1. Click the Reports tab.
2. Select a report.
3. Click Run....
In the Run Report dialog box:
1. In the Schedule Name field, enter a name for the report.
2. In the Template list, choose a template to apply to the report.
3. In the Output Format list, choose a file format for the delivery of the report.
4. In the Delivery Type list, choose to have the report sent through email or display the file immediately.
  - If you chose Email, click Send Email and enter or select email addresses for the intended report recipients.
  - If you chose File, the report will display after you click Run.
5. If you chose Email, in the Notification section, choose to send yourself a status notification of the report run.
6. In the Report Parameters section, specify values for the parameters in the Field Name column. You can enter values directly in the field or double-click in the field and click Select to open a selection dialog box.
  Notes:
  - When selecting project parameters, if you choose to add an EPS to the Selected Projects list, only the projects directly under the EPS are added. If additional EPS elements are under the parent EPS, these projects will not automatically be included in the report; however, you can select additional EPS elements and add them to the Selected Projects list.
  - To avoid system performance issues, be as specific as possible when entering values for reports. Narrow down your choices to include only what is absolutely necessary.
7. Click Run.

Tips

Refer to the sample reports included with P6 for examples on how to create Oracle Analytics Server reports to use with P6 on an Oracle database.

You can find sample reports in the P6reports.zip folder of the P6 EPPM physical media or download.

Use the BIPP6reportsOracle folder.
Note: The P6 EPPM sample reports were designed to be run against the small data set included in the sample database. These reports are provided as an example of the product's capability only. Oracle provides no guarantee, implied or explicit, that the sample reports will run against your database or will produce meaningful data when they are run against your database. You may modify the sample reports to suit your own data set, including adding filter criteria to limit data output or changing filter criteria to suit your data.
