Q1.

How To Create A Report

Ans. For Create Any Report

First Need to Understand the Requirement, Based On, Prepare Our SQL Query, Once the Query Gets
Ready, Upload it Into The Data Model, We can develop an SQL Query In the Data Model Itself, If
The Requirement To Create Parameter Then We Have a Section Parameter Where We Can Create and
attach The LOV With Parameter

(There are Different Types of Parameters We can create Dependent or Independent Based on
Requirement)

Now Create the Data Set Then Save The Data Model Type equation here .

Next- We have Two options to Create a Report Either Click on the Option Create a Report Else Goto
Create and Click On Report Both options land At the Same place Where We Create a
Report and Then Save It.

Now Our Data Model and Report Are Ready To Use

Q2. Dependent Parameter In Report

Ans. For Creating Dependant Parameter in the Report
First Write the SQL Code in the Query Then Create the Parameter
Next, Create LOV For Parameter, Suppose the First Parameter Is Supplier for That Write SQL Query
In LOV “Select Vendor_Name, Vendor_ID From Poz_Suppliers_v”
The second Parameter Is the Invoice for That Create LOV And Write SQL Query
“Select Invoice_num From Ap_Invoices_all Where Vendore_id = :P_Vendor_name”

Q3. Refresh Button

Ans. When We Create a Dependent Parameter In Case We Need to Enable the Check box of Refresh
other parameters on change, We Need To Enable that Check Box For the First
Parameter

Q3. Required (Mandatory) Parameter

Q4. Trigger In BIP

Ans. In Data Model There Is A Section Of the Trigger

We Have Three Type Of Trigger Option, Before Trigger,After Trigger,Schedule Trigger

Before And After Trigger Require PLSQL Statement We Do Not Have Scope To Use In Fusion
SAAS

Remain Schedule Trigger We Can Use In Fusion

A schedule trigger fires when a report job is scheduled to run. Schedule triggers are of type
SQL Query.
When a report job is scheduled to run, the schedule trigger executes the SQL statement
defined for the trigger. If data is returned, then the report job is submitted. If data isn't
returned from the trigger SQL query, the report job is skipped.

Q5. How To Increase the Run Time of A Report

Enable SQL Pruning: this might help to reduce report run time by not executing unused data sets
SQLs. In Data Model Property Increase “Query time Out” Foe Report

Q6. Tuning Performance

As We Know Oracle Notify That The Report Take a Long Time To Run Then The Report Gets
Automatically Cancel, For That Matter We Extract Some Reports Those Are Talking Long Time To
Complete. So There Are Few Report Notify In Our Organization. So Alings The Query First Use
filter conditions to limit data., Remove any unnecessary joins., Avoid too many sub-queries in
where clauses if possible. Instead, rewrite queries with outer joins., Use Oracle SQL Analytical
functions for multiple aggregation., Use CASE statements and DECODE functions for complex
aggregate functions.

Q7. I want to create a report output in 10 languages, do I have to create 10 layout templates?

And. No We Do Not Have To Create Multiple layouts for Different languages, just go to the Report
Property and download The Translation File. The. XLF File Open In System And Change In Target
Language Based On Requirement, Then Change Element Target Language Vai Help Of using
Google translator, Then upload The File On template, While Uploading. XLF File Choose the
Language Which We Use In Target Language

In That Way We Can Upload Multiple Language Layout On template

Q30.What is Bursting In BIP Report

Bursting enables us to deliver a single report to multiple destinations simultaneously. By taking

advantage of this feature, we can create a single report, then send it in any format (for example
PDF,HTML etc.) to multiple destinations (for example Email, Portal or Printer etc.).This feature also
enables to improve performance, since you fetch the data only once for different destinations.

Q. How to use Bursting In Report

There Are the Some Steps

First Prepare Our Bursting File, Using SQL Query (Based On requirements)

In Select Statement Select Key, Local, Template Name, Delivery Chanel etc. Also, we have 10
Parameters, Make Sure To Use Correctly

Once The File Gets Ready

Then Upload into The Bursting Part, where we Find There are Two more Filed in Bursting, Split by
and deliver by

Set the Split by And Deliver by Parameter

Then Save the Data Model, Goto Template Property Where Enable the Check Box ‘Bursting Enable’

Q. What Is Split by And Delivery By

Split By means: - We can divide the reports output on the basis of which column of the report.

Delivery By means: - This is uses to send the report output through The Column Select In Delivery
by

And Deliver by Column Should Be Same As We Take Key Column In Our Bursting File

Q. Should We Need To Hardcode The Value

No, We Do Not Need To Hard Code The value In Bursting File Or Its Based On Requirement

For Email Server – To send Report Output to Multiple Email Then Put Value In Column Then set Column In
First parameter

For FTP/SFTP Server-

Can We Send output same time at a different server

yes, we can, For That We Need To prepare Two busting File for Different Server ex. First busting is
for email and 2nd is for the SFTP server Then we Need to join both the bursting File with the UNION
clause In Our Bursting Part
How to Restrict To Send Blanck Output

Question: How to customize a standard report and what is the requirement?

Answer: We have some set of steps to customize any standard report.

First, we have to navigate to the xmlpserver. For that, we have to take the instance link and
concatenate the xmlpserver at the end of the URL.

Next, We have to navigate to the seeded report for example, we are customizing the Oracle “purchase
order PDF Report” report so we have to go to Shared/Procurement/Purchasing.

Next, We have to click on the More option and customize.

Once you click on the customize option, the report copy will automatically get created in the custom
folder.

Next, we must manually copy/download the data model and upload to the custom folder location.

Next, we must link the Custom Purchase Order report with the Custom Data model. Because the
report is still linked to the seeded data model.

Question: What changes you have made in the seeded report?

We had a requirement to add the company logo to the report template and add the Need by date field
in the report.

Question: How did you add the need by date or log?

Logo- The company logo needs to be added to the Report template, For that, I had downloaded the
RTF template and manually added the logo at the header.

Need by Date- Need by date column is already available in data set so I don’t need to modify the
query. I just ran the report and generated the XML file then I have uploaded the XML file to the rtf
template and a new column inserted at line level and inserted the need-by-date xml tag also.

Q. How Many Data Set Are Available In Purchase Order Pdf Report

Ans. There Are 8 Data Set Are Available Four for Draft And Four For Archive

Can We Create Another Data Set For PO Pdf Report

Yes We Can Create For Custome Data Model But We Do nOt Linke With Other Data Set , They Are
Using Trigger Also Use DFF

========================================================================
=======

WHAT IS SANDBOX

we can use SANDBOX for any kind of personalization or extension of page layout changes in Oracle
Fusion, for that we Have to create the sandbox. with the help of SANDBOX, we can allow the User to
whom can see The Changes or we can restrict the User, using the sandbox. This is really a good
feature because typically we do Personalization and extensions in the test environment and then after
the testing we do the changes in Production but in the sandbox feature, you can do the changes
specific to the sandbox that will not impact to complete application and once you are completely sure
about the changes then you can publish the changes under the sandbox
