We need a streamlined process for taking proven SQL scripts, converting them into EBS reports, and managing their lifecycle with robust version control and audit history. How does Blitz Report support this requirement for consultants and developers?

    Blitz Report is ideally suited for this. Consultants can simply drop their SQL scripts directly into the Blitz Report form. The system automatically handles the deployment, providing full version control with audit comments logged directly within your EBS instance.

    How does this process differ technically from deploying a standard custom concurrent program based on a SQL file?

  • Support Enginatics

    The key differentiation is complexity reduction. With Blitz Report, there is no hassle of registering new concurrent programs and reports with System Administration. The tool provides immediate registration and version control with a unique control number, avoiding duplication and lengthy setup procedures.

    If we modify a report, what specific details are retained in the audit history?

  • Support Enginatics

    The migration process tracks changes with full audit comments. This history documents modifications to the SQL query, changes to parameters, assignments (user, module, responsibility), and any custom column templates applied, ensuring complete traceability.

    Does this capability extend to reports originating from other systems, such as migrated Discoverer reports?

  • Support Enginatics

    Yes, the platform supports the replacement and import of legacy tools like Discoverer. Once imported, these reports immediately fall under the Blitz Report’s version control and audit framework.

    We need rapid turnaround on delivering a new report based on ECC dashboard logic. How fast can this development cycle be?

  • Support Enginatics

    You can develop proven EBS reports using ECC SQLs in under 5 minutes. This speed is achieved because you bypass the need for traditional concurrent development and deployment processes.

    What file formats does the system output for these new reports, specifically for high-volume extracts?

  • Support Enginatics

    The reports generate perfectly formatted Excel or CSV files. The tool’s export engine is designed for mass exports of volume data, ensuring reliability and overcoming limitations like the 65,536 row cap found in older BI Publisher XLS formats.
