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.
