Reporting Tool Algorithm

The base product provides an installation algorithm plug-in spot called Reporting Tool. This plug- in spot should contain an algorithm that invokes the reporting tool real-time. The corresponding algorithm type, called algorithm reference: F1-BIPR-INV, invokes Oracle Analytics Publisher Enterprise.

This algorithm relies on information defined in the Reporting Options table: the reporting server and folder names for accessing the reporting tool. The algorithm constructs several strings, for example, the URL of the Analytics Publisher, information about the report being requested and user info in the format expected by Oracle Analytics Publisher Enterprise. The Java program returns the correct URL to the browser. The browser then opens an Analytics Publisher Enterprise window with the appropriate URL.

To use the algorithm reference: F1-BIPR-INV algorithm type to invoke Oracle Analytics Publisher Enterprise, perform the following steps:

  1. Create an algorithm for this algorithm type.

  2. In the installation options, add an entry to the algorithm collection with an algorithm entity of Reporting Tool and indicate the algorithm created in the previous step.
