Executive Summary
The FND Lobs report allows you to search and extract files stored in the database as Large Objects (LOBs). This includes attachments, help files, and Blitz Report templates.
Business Challenge
- Attachment Search: Finding a specific document attached to a transaction when you only know the filename.
- Space Management: Identifying large files that are consuming database storage.
- Data Extraction: Downloading binary files (PDFs, Images) directly from the database for archiving.
The Solution
This Blitz Report queries the FND_LOBS table:
- Metadata: File Name, Content Type (MIME), and Upload Date.
- Program: The program or entity that owns the file.
- Content: Can optionally extract the binary data (BLOB).
Technical Architecture
The report queries FND_LOBS.
Parameters & Filtering
- File Name like: Search by partial filename.
- Include File Data: Toggle to include the actual file content.
- Uploaded within x days: Filter for recent uploads.
Performance & Optimization
- Caution: Do not run with “Include File Data” without filters, as extracting gigabytes of BLOB data will impact performance.
FAQ
- Q: Can I delete files from here?
- A: No, this is a read-only report. To delete files, you should use the “Purge Obsolete Generic File Manager Data” concurrent program.
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.
