Defining Oracle Reports Programs

You can use Oracle Reports as an integrated development environment to develop reports in Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub, launching Oracle Reports from a Program definition.

Oracle LSH Programs of type Oracle Reports can have two types of Source Code: Oracle Reports, which are uploaded from Oracle Reports, and PL/SQL, for subroutines; see Creating a PL/SQL Package Storage Program. (See also: Setting Up Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).

Oracle Reports Builder includes the following features:

• A query builder with a visual representation of the specification of SQL statements to obtain report data
• Wizards that guide you through the report design process
• Default report templates and layouts that can be customized to meet your organization's reporting needs
• The ability to generate code to customize how reports will run
• A Live Previewer that allows you to edit report layouts in WYSIWYG mode
• An integrated chart builder that helps you to graphically represent report data
• Web publishing tools that dynamically generate web pages based on your corporate data
• Other standard report output formats like HTML, PDF, Postscript, and ASCII (to make use of Oracle LSH's Publishing Light features, you must use PDF)
