Configuring Embedded Reporting

Recruiting customers can use Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) or Oracle Analytics (OAS) Publisher technology to create reports on all their recruiting data. End-users are able to import, customize and run reports directly in the Recruiting Center.

With this feature, the Embedded Reporting server interacts with Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) or Oracle Analytics (OAS) subject areas to extract reporting data, and with Oracle BI Publisher to execute and render pixel perfect reports. Report writers have the ability to create and deploy new reports for end users, and reports are viewed in Recruiting.

Different roles are involved to configure embedded reporting in Recruiting:

• Oracle Support enables Embedded Reporting in the customer zone.

• The system administrator configures and assigns user type permissions to users.

• The report writer builds new data models and also develops, configures and deploys reports.

The main tasks when configuring Embedded Reporting are:

1. Enabling the Embedded Reporting feature.

2. Granting permissions to users.

3. Creating a report definition category to group report definitions.

4. Creating a data model definition which consists in the following tasks:

   1. Defining the properties of the data model.

   2. Defining a data set for the data model.

   3. Creating a list of values for the data model.

   4. Defining parameters for the data model.

   5. Validating the data model definition.

   6. Activating the data model definition.

5. Producing the report with Oracle BI Publisher.

6. Creating a report definition.

Important Information

This first release of the Recruiting Embedded Reporting feature is intended to set the foundation for the feature and to support conversion of content via 3rd party partners. The content development features are functional but new and complex, so intended towards early adopter users who are familiar with Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) or Oracle Analytics (OAS) Publisher or Native Reporting report development only.
