Managing BI Publisher Objects in Object Management Workbench

When you access the BI Publisher Repository (P95600) or BI Publisher Report Definitions (P95620) applications from JD Edwards Solution Explorer, the objects that you create are added to your default project in Object Management Workbench (OMW). As non-Object Librarian objects, templates and report definitions are not available to users in other environments until they are advanced through project statuses and, finally, transferred to a data source. To advance the status of an object, you must move it from your default project to a project.

In addition to being available in JD Edwards Solution Explorer, you can also access the BI Publisher Repository and BI Publisher Report Definitions applications through OMW. To add new objects within OMW, select an OMW project and then click Add. Select either Report Definition or BI Publisher Object, as this form illustrates:

When you click OK, either the BI Publisher Repository application or the BI Publisher Report Definition application launches, depending on the type of object that you are creating.

Once the objects exist in OMW, you can modify them by clicking the Design button, which will launch the appropriate application. You can also use OMW to copy or delete templates and report definitions, as you would with other OMW objects.
