Understanding Report Objects
You can create report objects using OMW. You can also access RDA directly from Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Solution Explorer to create report objects. The object information that you are required to enter varies depending on which method you use. When you create a new report object in RDA, you create a report template and, optionally, a batch version. The only time that you can create a batch version in RDA is when you initially create a report template. All other batch versions are created from the Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Batch Versions (P98305) application.
When you create a new report object, you must provide the following information regarding the report:
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
Object Name |
Identifies the name of the report. Begin report names with the letter R, followed by the product code, and then a unique identifier. The object name appears in the upper-left corner of the page header. |
Description |
Describes the purpose of the report. Enter a description that serves as a useful identifier, such as General Ledger by Batch. The description appears in the center of the page header below the company name. |
Product Code |
Use product codes to ensure that the custom objects remain unaltered by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software upgrades. Product codes 55–59 are reserved for customers. |
Product System Code |
Identifies the system where the required data resides. Typically, the report shares the same product system code as the business view that will be used to fetch the data. |
Object Use |
Use this range of codes to classify the report. Object use codes 160–166 are report-related classifications. |
Update Report/No Update Report |
Indicates whether the report will update data in the database. Only report developers with permissions can design an update report. If the developer has permissions, the Update Report option is selected by default. |
