Custom Blitz Report Icon Not Appearing on EBS Form

Avatar photoCustomer August 26, 2023 at 5:06 pm

I have successfully set up a Form Assignment for my report (e.g., assigning it to the ‘GL Enter Journals’ form name), but the custom Blitz Report icon is not appearing on the form for users. What might I have missed in the assignment setup?

      If the custom icon is not appearing after defining the Form Assignment, you must rigorously re-verify your configuration . First, ensure you correctly identified the standard form name using Help > About Oracle Applications . Second, check the Block Restriction field . If you entered a block name (e.g., GL_JE_BATCHES) in this field, the icon will only appear when the user navigates to that specific block . If you intended it to appear globally on the form, ensure the Block Restriction field is empty .

      If I need the report to be available from the form’s header *and* line blocks, should I create two separate assignments, or should the Block Restriction be left empty?

      If the Blitz Report should be available on all blocks of the assigned form, and the parameter values being passed are identical regardless of the block, you should leave the Block Restriction empty . If the parameters need to be derived from different item names depending on the current block, you might need separate logic, possibly handled within the PL/SQL execution itself .

      Does clicking the custom icon immediately execute the report, or does it open the Blitz Report run window first?

      The precise action depends on how the assignment is configured . When accessing the report from the Oracle standard form through the custom icon, the report typically launches directly with parameters defaulted as defined in the assignment . If the underlying PL/SQL uses the synchronous `XXEN_API.RUN_REPORT` or a simple `fnd_request.submit_request` call with pre-defined parameters, the report executes immediately , .

      If my users do not have access to the Forms navigation menu, can they still run Blitz Reports assigned to a form?

      Yes, if the Blitz Report menu entry is hidden (e.g., by running ‘Blitz Report Update Menu Entries’ concurrent program without a menu entry prompt), Blitz Report can still be run exclusively from the Excel icon in the top menu of the Oracle Forms navigation, which is where the custom icon functionality resides . The Form assignment feature is key to enabling access in this scenario .
