Case Study & Technical Analysis: Blitz Upload History
Executive Summary
The Blitz Upload History report is a critical governance and auditing tool for organizations utilizing Blitz Report™ for data uploads. It provides a comprehensive audit trail of all data upload activities, ensuring transparency and accountability. By tracking who uploaded what data and when, this report supports compliance requirements and helps system administrators monitor system usage and data lineage.
Business Challenge
As organizations democratize data entry and updates through Excel-based uploads, maintaining control and visibility becomes paramount. Common challenges include:
- Lack of Traceability: Identifying the source of data changes when multiple users have upload privileges.
- Compliance Risks: Auditors require proof of who authorized and executed data changes in the ERP system.
- Data Retention Management: Managing the growth of upload history data to prevent unnecessary storage consumption.
Without a centralized history, organizations risk losing oversight of bulk data changes, leading to potential security and data integrity issues.
Solution
The Blitz Upload History report addresses these challenges by offering a detailed view of the upload log.
- Full Audit Trail: Captures the Upload Name, User, Date, and Status for every transaction.
- Retention Policy Support: Works in conjunction with the profile option
Blitz Upload Data Retention Daysto manage how long history is kept, balancing audit needs with storage optimization. - Searchability: Allows administrators to quickly find specific uploads by name, date range, or user.
Technical Architecture
This report queries the internal metadata tables of the Blitz Report™ framework:
- Core Tables: Joins
xxen_upload_data,xxen_report_runs, andxxen_reports_vto reconstruct the upload event context. - Security Integration: Links with
fnd_responsibility_tlandfnd_concurrent_requeststo provide context on the responsibility and concurrent request ID associated with each upload. - LOB Handling: References
fnd_lobsto potentially link back to the original uploaded file content if configured.
Parameters
- Upload Name: Filter by the specific name of the upload definition.
- Started within Days: Limits the report to recent uploads (e.g., last 30 days) for focused auditing.
- Uploaded By: Filter by the specific user ID or name who performed the upload.
Performance
Designed for administrative oversight, the report is highly efficient:
- Indexed Queries: Utilizes standard indexes on the
xxen_tables to ensure fast retrieval even with large history logs. - Optimized Joins: Efficiently joins with FND tables to resolve user and responsibility names without performance drag.

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.
