Introducing the project implementation and upgrade toolkit

Customer March 31, 2020 at 4:06 pm

We are undertaking a major EBS upgrade (e.g., R12.2.10 to R12.2.12). Managing master data exports, configuration setup documentation (BR100s), and technical verification reports is challenging. How can the Blitz Report Toolkit assist our consulting teams?

  The Blitz Report Project Implementation and Upgrade Toolkit is designed specifically to simplify managing EBS projects and upgrades. It provides a ready-made solution for common project tasks such as exporting master data, tracking changes, and creating new operational reports efficiently.

  Specifically regarding setup and data migration, can we automate the extraction of BR100s, which are critical for documenting and validating configurations?

  Yes, the toolkit includes Support and Data Migration reports specifically designed for automated BR100 extracts for setup and data migration purposes. This streamlines documentation required during the project lifecycle.

  Our consulting team uses many custom SQL scripts for quick checks. Is there an efficient way for them to use these scripts within the toolkit environment and share the results instantly?
- Support April 3, 2020 at 12:35 pm
  Consultants can easily drop their favorite SQL scripts directly into Blitz Report. The results can be instantly generated as formatted Excel or CSV files, ready for sharing with the rest of the teams. Crucially, this process includes full version control tracked directly within your EBS instance.

  If we need to perform time-critical mass data exports—for instance, millions of records for financial comparisons—can the toolkit handle this volume reliably?
- Support April 7, 2020 at 3:31 am
  The toolkit includes Time Critical reports geared specifically towards mass exporting volume data. Furthermore, the Blitz Report engine is designed to export mass data from *any* EBS form by using its Excel export engine, overcoming limitations and ensuring reliable output, whether you have 5 million records or fewer.

  How does the toolkit help minimize reporting delivery time for the support and consulting teams during the pressured upgrade window?
- Support April 9, 2020 at 1:41 pm
  By providing instant report creation from simple SQL without requiring standard concurrent program registration, reporting delivery time is significantly reduced. The reports are also accessible directly in Oracle Forms, simplifying usage for functional users.

  Can we use this same technology to replace legacy Discoverer reports required for operational validation during the upgrade?
- Support April 12, 2020 at 3:23 pm
  Absolutely. The Operational reports category within the toolkit covers core processes like Record to Report and Purchase to Pay, and specifically allows for the replacement of Discoverer and BI Publisher reports using the import functions provided.
