JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Embedded BI Publisher Process Overview

Creating customized reports using the embedded BI Publisher involves these steps:

  1. Use Oracle's BI Publisher Template Builder, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, or Adobe Acrobat to create a blank template file.

  2. Add an object to the BI Publisher Object Repository (P95600), using the template name for the object name.

  3. Create a report definition in the JD Edwards BI Publisher Report Definition application (P95620), associating the source batch application (UBE) and the template.

  4. Submit the report definition to generate an XML data file.

  5. Download the XML data and design the template in the desktop application that you used to create the template.

  6. Update the report definition in the BI Publisher Report Definitions application, defining criteria such as output types, bursting, and delivery options.

  7. Upload the completed template into BI Publisher Object Repository.

  8. Submit the report definition to BI Publisher.

  9. Use Report Definition Jobs (P95630) to access the submission details, view details of the output, view the output delivery, and view the output.
