How to seamlessly integrate reports into EBS forms using Zoom

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 7 replies

We need to allow users to drill down from major EBS transaction screens, like the Purchase Order Summary, directly into a detailed custom data report, contextualized by the specific PO number they are viewing. Can Blitz Report integrate using the native Oracle EBS Zoom feature, and how seamless is the setup?

    Yes, Blitz Report is specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly into EBS Forms using the Zoom function. This integration method leverages standard EBS functionality, allowing you to embed contextual reports that run based on the data currently displayed in the form.

    Does implementing this type of integration require modifying or customizing the underlying Oracle Forms codebase, which we try to avoid due to upgrade headaches?

  • Support Enginatics

    A key advantage of this approach is that it is non-intrusive. By utilizing the native Zoom function, you configure the report within Blitz Report’s framework to ‘target the required EBS form’. This avoids complicated customizations to the Oracle Forms codebase itself.

    How many existing reports can we potentially assign using this method? We have both custom and potentially ECC-based queries we want to link.

  • Support Enginatics

    We seed the product with in excess of 200 Blitz Reports that can be assigned to EBS forms using the Zoom method, covering core financial, HR, and supply chain process areas. Furthermore, if you have Enterprise Command Center installed, you can import an additional 220+ standard Oracle ECC reports into Blitz Report and assign those in the same manner.

    What is the end-user experience when they run the zoomed report? Will they have to wait for a concurrent request to complete and then navigate to view the output?

  • Support Enginatics

    The experience is fast and immediate. The Blitz Report runs immediately through concurrent requests without needing manual registration in system admin. The output is instantly presented as a perfectly formatted Excel file, complete with filters already applied, which significantly saves the EBS user time during operational drill-down.
