Blitz Report Assignment Upload – Oracle EBS SQL Report

Oracle E-Business Suite SQL report from the Enginatics Library powered by Blitz Report™.

Overview

Upload to create, update, copy and delete Blitz Report assignments, which make reports available at site, application, request group, responsibility, user, form or function level.

Upload modes:

An assignment is identified by report, assignment level and assignment value, and by Description at Request Group, Responsibility and Form level, where it names the application. A row matching an existing assignment updates its Include/Exclude, Disabled, Form Block, Users and parameter defaulting; any other row creates a new assignment. Changing the level or value of a downloaded row therefore copies the assignment, for example to copy the seeded Enginatics application level assignments to custom applications. Delete = Yes deletes the assignment, or only the parameter defaulting of the row’s Parameter Name.

Users limits an Include assignment at Application, Request Group, Responsibility, Form or Function level to the listed users, entered as comma separated user names.

At Form level, Form Block limits the assignment to one block of the form, and Parameter Name with either Block Name and Item Name or a Constant Value defaults a report parameter from a form field or a constant when the report is opened from the form. Id or Value tells whether the form field holds the parameter’s id or its displayed value.

Assignments of uploads can only be maintained with Blitz Report Access System.

Logic

  1. Mode Selection:
    • Create Empty File: Generates a template.
    • Create/Update: Processes the uploaded rows.
  2. Processing:
    • Validates the Report Name and Target Level (User/Resp/App).

    • Inserts or updates records in the assignment table.
  3. Copy Logic: If copying, it reads the source assignments and inserts new records for the target, preserving parameter defaults if applicable.

Parameters

FAQ

Q: Can I assign a report to all users? A: Yes, by assigning it at the “Site” level (if supported) or by assigning it to a responsibility that all users possess (like “System Administrator” or a custom “All Users” role).

Q: What happens if I upload an assignment that already exists? A: The tool typically ignores duplicates or updates the existing record (e.g., changing the start/end date) depending on the specific logic and columns provided.

Q: Can I use this to revoke access? A: Yes, usually by setting an “End Date” in the upload file or by using a specific “Delete” mode if available.
