Blitz Report Column Translation Comparison between environments - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
Blitz Report Column Translation Comparison between environments is a localization and migration quality assurance tool. It compares the translated column headers of Blitz Reports between two environments (e.g., Test vs. Production). This is critical for multi-national organizations ensuring that language translations are correctly promoted.
Business Challenge
- Localization Integrity: A report might have perfect French column headers in the Test environment, but they revert to English or old translations after migration to Production.
- Missing Translations: Identifying columns that have been added to a report but lack translations in the target environment.
- Version Control: Verifying that the latest terminology updates approved by the business have been successfully deployed.
Solution
This report compares the XXEN_REPORT_COLUMNS_TL table (Translation table) across a database link.
- Language Specific: Focuses on a specific language code (e.g., ‘F’ for French, ‘D’ for German).
- Discrepancy Detection: Highlights where the translation text differs between the source and destination.
Technical Architecture
Key Tables
XXEN_REPORT_COLUMNS: Base column definitions.XXEN_REPORT_COLUMNS_TL(Local & Remote): Stores the translated names of the columns for each installed language.
Logic
- Link: Connects to the remote database.
- Join: Joins local and remote translation tables on Report Name, Column Name, and Language.
- Compare: Checks if the
TRANSLATED_COLUMN_NAMEdiffers.
Parameters
- Remote Database: The database link to the comparison environment.
- Language: The specific language code to compare (e.g., ‘US’, ‘F’, ‘ESA’).
- Show Differences only: Toggle to filter the output to only show mismatches.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
