Report System

Reports in Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud are always associated with a report system type that defines the communication type between Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud and the external report server. The following report systems are supported in Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud:

  • BI Publisher: A SOAP request is sent to the Oracle Analytics Publisher service and the SOAP response is parsed for content and errors. It includes details of the Oracle Analytics Server, such as report path prefix, host, port, and user credentials. These account for format, locale, and VPD user information.
  • Other via HTTP: Use Other via HTTP for non-Oracle Analytics Publisher integrations. It is assumed that the report path is a URL to the report with an optional {report} parameter that is replaced with the report path. This URL report parameter is appended as HTTP request parameters. Each request parameter name matches the name of the report parameter. This includes setting &P_DESIRED_MIME_TYPE=<requested MIME type>.

It is strongly recommended that you use Oracle Analytics Publisher as the report system type. This document describes the information pertaining to the Oracle Analytics Publisher report system type.
