Siebel Reports Business Service

You can use the Siebel Reports Business Service to run, share, or print a report automatically without any user interaction. You can run a report from a workflow process or in reply to a script that you write. You can create a workflow process that includes a business service step, and this step can reference a Reports Business Service method.

For example, you can create a workflow process that automatically:

• Runs a report according to a specific query
• Saves a report in a specific format
• Sends a report to a customer in an email message

Note: The Reports Business Service can't be run on the Mobile web client.

The reports are generated in the background by connecting to the Oracle Analytics Publisher server. The Siebel file system stores the report output, which users access from the My BI Publisher Reports view.

Note: BI Publisher has been rebranded as Oracle Analytics Publisher.
