Use this report to migrate Discoverer workbooks to Blitz Report through the following steps:
Run this report ‘DIS Workbook Export Script’ to generate a list of commands to export xmls for all recently used Discoverer workbooks.
Create a new folder on a windows machine having the Discoverer Admin executable dis51adm.exe installed (contact Enginatics, if you need help with the Discoverer Administrator installation).
Open a Command Prompt window, cd to the new folder, and execute (copy and paste) the commands generated in step 1. This will start individual processes to export the workbooks as .eex files. Depending on your client capacity, you can run between 100 and 200 export processes at the same time. In case of errors, delete all zero size .eex files and rerun the script.
Zip together all generated (non-zero size) workbook_*.eex files. Do not include the generated *.log files. Note that the .zip needs to be created with older Windows10 compression methods, as the latest Windows11 method cannot be processed by the Oracle 19c database yet.
If you have more than one EUL, set the profile option ‘Blitz Report Discoverer Default EUL’ to the end user layer for which you run the migration
Navigate to Setup>Tools>Import>XML Upload and upload the .zip file generated in step 4. You will see a message with the count of uploaded xml files.
Run concurrent program ‘Blitz Report Discoverer Import’ from the System Administrator responsibility, and specify a report name prefix to easily distinguish the migrated reports.
Verify the migration result by running reports:
‘Blitz Report Parameter Uniqueness Validation’ and correct the nonunique parameter names.
‘Blitz Report LOV SQL Validation’ and correct errors plus change slow ‘distinct’ style ones to fast SQLs
‘Blitz Report SQL Validation’ and correct problems
‘Blitz Report Parameter Bind Variable Validation’
‘DIS Migration identify missing EulConditions’
‘Blitz Report Parameter Table Alias Validation’
‘Blitz Reports’ for Discoverer check for column ‘required_parameters’
‘Blitz Report Parameter Default Values’ for discoverer check for default value having partition
‘Blitz Report Templates’ and search for Subtotals: Y in the description and train the users to switch compact pivot to tabular format
Parameters
Accessed After, Workbook Owner, Workbook, End User Layer, End User Layer Password, Executable Path, DB Service Name, Not yet imported only
If you would like to try one of these Oracle EBS SQLs without having Blitz Report installed, note that some of the reports require functions from utility package xxen_util.
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.
