Blitz Report Parameter Anchor Validation - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
Blitz Report Parameter Anchor Validation is a technical diagnostic tool for advanced parameter configurations. In Blitz Report, “Anchors” are used to position parameters relative to each other in the form (e.g., “Start Date” should appear next to “End Date”). This report validates that these anchor references are correct.
Business Challenge
- Form Layout: If an anchor references a parameter that has been deleted or renamed, the report submission form might render incorrectly or throw an error.
- Integrity: Ensuring the metadata for the report layout is consistent.
Solution
This report checks the XXEN_REPORT_PARAMETER_ANCHORS table against the XXEN_REPORT_PARAMETERS table.
- Orphan Check: Identifies anchors pointing to non-existent parameters.
Technical Architecture
Key Tables
XXEN_REPORT_PARAMETER_ANCHORS: Stores the layout rules.XXEN_REPORT_PARAMETERS_V: Stores the parameters.
Logic
The query likely performs a left join or a “not exists” check to find invalid references.
Parameters
- Category: Filter by report category.
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.
