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, 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>.
  • Oracle Analytics Cloud: For generating Reports or Documents from Oracle Transportation Management, see the “Enable Report Generation from within Oracle Transportation Management” section in the Administration Guide.
