Validates Blitz Report LOV SQLs for valid syntax. This can be useful after mass migrating reports from other tools such as Discoverer, Excl4apps, splashBI or Polaris Reporting Workbench into Blitz Report.
Parameters
LOV Name like, Category, Report Name like, Validation Result
Used tables
xxen_report_parameter_lovs, xxen_report_parameters_v
Categories
Related reports

Blitz Report LOV SQL Validation - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
Blitz Report LOV SQL Validation is a health-check tool. It parses and validates the SQL syntax of all List of Values (LOV) definitions in the system. This is particularly useful after a mass migration of reports from legacy tools (like Discoverer), where SQL syntax might differ slightly or references might be broken.
Business Challenge
- Migration Cleanup: You imported 500 reports from Discoverer. 50 of them have LOVs that fail because they reference a Discoverer-specific view that doesn’t exist in the new environment.
- Proactive Maintenance: Finding broken LOVs before a user tries to run the report and gets an error.
Solution
This report iterates through the LOV definitions and attempts to validate the SQL.
- Syntax Check: It likely uses
DBMS_SQL.PARSEor similar logic to check if the query is valid. - Result: Returns a status (Valid/Invalid) and the error message if applicable.
Technical Architecture
Key Tables
XXEN_REPORT_PARAMETER_LOVS: The LOV definitions.XXEN_REPORT_PARAMETERS_V: Where the LOVs are used.
Logic
The report selects LOVs and runs a validation routine (likely a PL/SQL function in XXEN_UTIL) to test the SQL.
Parameters
- LOV Name like: Filter by name.
- Category: Filter by report category.
- Report Name like: Filter by the report using the LOV.
- Validation Result: Filter to show only “Error” or “Invalid” records.
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.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
