Installing Blitz Report: Assessing Database Impact and Installation Time

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 7 replies

As part of the technical approval process for third-party add-ons, our DBA team requires absolute confirmation regarding the installation procedure for Blitz Report. Does Installing Blitz Report require a disruptive database restart or significant downtime on the application tier? We need a clear timeline for how long the process takes and assurance that the implementation is low-impact, relying heavily on standard EBS architecture rather than installing invasive middleware components that complicate future patching cycles.

    How is the installation handled? Does it require complex manual script execution or is there a simple executable for deployment, simplifying the task for our DBA team?

    Once installed, how does Blitz Report launch reports? Does it require us to register a new concurrent program for every single report we create, adding significant administration overhead?

  • Support Enginatics

    No, a major architectural advantage is efficiency: there is only a single registered concurrent program named Blitz Report that handles the execution of all reports created within the platform. This removes the administrative burden of constantly defining new concurrent programs.

    Is the user interface integrated into the modern EBS self-service framework, or does it utilize older technology?

  • Support Enginatics

    Blitz Report is a Java form that fully integrates with the EBS Forms Interface. This design choice ensures that users experience a familiar look and feel, leveraging existing EBS functionality like Concurrent Requests, security roles, and Value Sets, maximizing user adoption while minimizing training needs.
