Case Study: Blitz Report Parameter Default Values
Executive Summary
The Blitz Report Parameter Default Values report is an administrative utility that provides visibility into the configuration of default parameter values across the Blitz Report system. It details how defaults are applied at different levels—global report definitions, specific templates, and user-level preferences—ensuring transparency in report execution behavior.
Business Challenge
Blitz Report offers a flexible parameter system where default values can be layered. A report might have a standard default date range (e.g., “Current Month”), but a specific user might have overridden this to “Last Month,” or a shared template might enforce a specific “Department” filter.
- Complexity: When a user complains that a report “defaults to the wrong data,” it can be hard to determine if the issue lies in the report definition, a template they are using, or a personal preference they set months ago and forgot.
- Auditing: Administrators need a way to audit these settings to ensure standard operating procedures are followed (e.g., ensuring all financial reports default to the correct ledger).
Solution
This report generates a detailed listing of all configured parameter default values.
- Comprehensive View: It displays defaults set at the Report Level (base definition), Template Level (saved layouts), and User Level (personalizations).
- Troubleshooting: Quickly identifies conflicting or outdated defaults that may be causing user confusion.
- Cleanup: Helps identifying unused or invalid default value configurations that should be removed.
Technical Architecture
The report queries the Blitz Report metadata repository, specifically joining the parameter definitions with the default value storage tables.
Key Views and Tables
xxen_report_parameters_v: Contains the base parameter definitions.xxen_report_param_default_vals: Stores the specific default values assigned to parameters for templates or users.xxen_report_templates_v: Provides context for template-specific defaults.
Parameters
- Category: Filter by report category (e.g., “Human Resources”).
- Anchor: Allows filtering by the specific context or “anchor” to which the default value is attached.
- Report Name: Search for defaults associated with a specific report.
Performance
The report is highly efficient, querying indexed metadata tables to provide immediate results.
FAQ
Q: Can I use this report to bulk-update default values? A: No, this is a reporting tool. To update values, you would use the Blitz Report setup forms or API.
Q: Does it show system-level defaults like ‘sysdate’? A: Yes, it shows the literal values or SQL expressions used as defaults.
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.
