Run Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Reports through Oracle Argus Safety

You can execute Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher periodic reports as a one-step or two-step process. The Report Batch Print screen provides this option.

The screen provides the following options if you have enabled the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Aggregate Reporting module:

• Run Using: This drop-down list lets you choose between the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher and Argus Native options.
• When you select Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher, the system provides the following additional options for running the report:

  Table 1-2 Options for Running the Report using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher

  Field Name or Parameter	Description
  Report Template	This drop-down list is populated with all available Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher report templates that can reuse the configuration for the PSUR or other periodic reports.
  Use Generated Case Series	This checkbox is enabled only if a case series has been generated using the selected report configuration. It is selected by default if a case series already exists for the selected report configuration. If the Use Generated Case Series checkbox is checked, the system generates the report on already existing case series. The Use Generated Case Series checkbox is checked when a final report that was generated for the selected report configuration is pending submission.

  The Print operation works in same way for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher reports as it works for Argus Native reports.

  After a case series is generated for an associated report configuration, any existing case series associated with that report configuration is replaced with that case series. The system keeps only one case series for a report configuration at a time.

  All reports executed through Oracle Argus Safety UI are tracked using the Oracle Argus Safety application. The status for all Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher reports is available in the Background Periodic Status screen of Oracle Argus Safety.

When you select Argus Native from the Run Using drop-down list, the system hides the Report Template option. Any case series generated as part of Argus Native report execution is not saved in the system by default.

If you select Run Now, the system immediately generates a report for the selected configuration. If you specify a date and time in the Run At field, Oracle Argus Safety schedules it for the provided date and time.

For every Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher report generated from Oracle Argus Safety or the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher scheduler interface, the system adds an entry into the Oracle Argus Safety database.
