Executive Summary
The DBA Feature Usage Statistics report is a critical compliance tool. It queries the internal Oracle usage tracking to see which database features have been used. This is the same data that Oracle LMS (License Management Services) uses during an audit. It helps organizations avoid unexpected bills for expensive options like “Partitioning”, “Advanced Compression”, or “Diagnostics Pack”.
Business Challenge
- Audit Defense: “Oracle is auditing us. Are we compliant with our contract?”
- Cost Avoidance: “Did a developer accidentally use the ‘Advanced Security’ option in the new code?”
- License Optimization: “We are paying for ‘OLAP’, but are we actually using it?”
Solution
This report queries DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS.
Key Features:
- Feature Name: The specific option (e.g., “Automatic Workload Repository”).
- Detected Usages: How many times it was used.
- Last Usage Date: When it was last triggered.
- Currently Used: Boolean flag indicating active usage.
Architecture
The report queries DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS.
Key Tables:
DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS: The system-maintained usage log.
Impact
- Financial Risk Reduction: Prevents multi-million dollar non-compliance fines.
- Governance: Enforces internal policies regarding which features developers are allowed to use.
- Contract Negotiation: Provides data to negotiate better terms during license renewals.
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.
