BI Publisher Archived Report Files

The archived report output files follow a default naming convention if you have not customized the output file name using the Update Report Definition - Bursting and Delivery application.

If you have customized the output file name using the Update Report Definition - Bursting and Delivery application, the output files are saved with the customized file names in the archived folder.

See 4.2.9.1 Customizing Report Definition Output File Name

The default report output file names begin with the report name and version. The template language and the batch and report definition job numbers are then appended, followed by other system-generated information. The output files look similar to these examples:

  • Regular report definition output file: RDT13546_EN_3657_3759_1.pdf

  • Bursted report definition output file: R014021_XJDE0001_EN_111_32_JDE_1224_4524_14_1231890577_EN-US_ADDRBOOK1_2.rtf

The file names in these examples are the actual reports that were generated when a report definition was submitted. The important segments in the examples are as follows:
