Case Study: Blitz Report Pivot Colums Validation
Executive Summary
The Blitz Report Pivot Colums Validation report is a technical integrity check for Blitz Report templates. It verifies that all pivot table definitions stored in the xxen_report_template_pivot table have corresponding column definitions in the xxen_report_template_columns table. This ensures that pivot tables in reports are correctly structured and display data as intended.
Business Challenge
Pivot tables are a key feature for summarizing and analyzing data in Blitz Reports. However, if the underlying metadata for a pivot table becomes inconsistent—specifically, if a pivot definition exists without a matching column definition—the report layout can break. This leads to:
- Broken Reports: Users encountering errors when trying to view pivot tables.
- Data Discrepancies: Missing or incorrectly mapped columns in the pivot view.
- Administrative Burden: Difficulty in identifying which specific template is causing the issue.
Solution
This validation report compares the records in xxen_report_template_pivot against xxen_report_template_columns. It identifies any “orphan” pivot records that lack a corresponding column definition, allowing administrators to quickly pinpoint and rectify the metadata inconsistency.
Impact
- Report Stability: Ensures that all pivot table templates are valid and functional.
- Data Accuracy: Guarantees that the columns displayed in pivot tables match the underlying data structure.
- Efficient Maintenance: Provides a direct list of invalid templates, saving time on manual troubleshooting.
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.
