Executive Summary
The CSI Installed Base Extended Attributes Summary report is a master data management tool for the Oracle Installed Base. It lists the “Extended Attributes” (user-defined fields) that have been configured to track additional technical or business data for item instances. This report helps administrators understand the data model extensions that have been applied to the standard Installed Base functionality.
Business Challenge
Standard fields (Item, Serial Number, Owner) are often insufficient for complex products. Companies use Extended Attributes to track specific data like “Software Version,” “Calibration Date,” or “IP Address.”
- Configuration Visibility: As these attributes are custom-defined, it can be hard to get a clear list of what attributes exist and where they are used.
- Data Governance: Ensuring that attributes are named consistently and applied to the correct item categories.
- Reporting: Knowing the attribute names is a prerequisite for building custom reports that query this data.
Solution
This report provides a dictionary of the defined Extended Attributes.
Key Features:
- Attribute Definition: Lists the Attribute Name, Level, and other definition details.
- Value Analysis: Can potentially show the distribution of values (depending on the specific query implementation) or just the structure.
Architecture
The report queries CSI_I_EXTENDED_ATTRIBS and CSI_IEA_VALUES.
Key Tables:
CSI_I_EXTENDED_ATTRIBS: Defines the attribute structure (metadata).CSI_IEA_VALUES: Stores the actual values assigned to specific instances.
Impact
- System Documentation: Acts as a data dictionary for the custom attributes in the Installed Base.
- Report Development: Assists developers in finding the correct column/attribute names when building custom queries.
- Standardization: Helps enforce naming conventions for new attributes.
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.
