Executive Summary
The Blitz Report Text Search tool is a powerful utility designed to search for specific SQL text strings across reports, parameters, and Lists of Values (LOVs) within the Oracle E-Business Suite environment. It is particularly useful for identifying dependencies and usage of specific code snippets or LOVs, and for previewing records that would be affected by mass change operations.
Business Challenge
Managing a large repository of reports and their associated components in Oracle EBS can be challenging. Developers and administrators often need to find where specific SQL logic or LOVs are used to assess the impact of changes, debug issues, or ensure consistency. Manually searching through each report definition is time-consuming and prone to error. Additionally, performing mass updates requires a safe way to preview affected records before committing changes.
Solution
The Blitz Report Text Search provides a centralized search mechanism that scans the definitions of reports, parameters, and LOVs for a specified text string. It allows users to filter by category, record type, and report name, and supports case-sensitive and regex-based searches. This tool streamlines impact analysis and facilitates safe mass updates by offering a preview capability.
Key Features
- Comprehensive Search: Searches across reports, parameters, and LOVs for a given SQL text string.
- Impact Analysis: Identifies which reports use a specific LOV or contain specific SQL logic.
- Mass Change Preview: Used to preview records that would be modified by the Blitz Report mass change functionality.
- Advanced Filtering: Supports filtering by category, record type, and report name.
- Flexible Search Options: Includes options for case matching and regular expression (regex) mode.
- Exclusion Criteria: Allows specifying text strings to exclude from the search results.
Technical Details
The report queries several internal Blitz Report views and tables, including xxen_reports_v, xxen_report_parameters_v, xxen_report_parameter_lovs, xxen_upload_columns_v, and xxen_upload_sqls_v. It leverages these views to inspect the underlying SQL definitions and configuration details of the reporting environment.
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.
