Security Continuity: How Blitz Report Preserves EBS Responsibility and VPD Policies Post-Discoverer Migration

Security is paramount. Blitz Report is architecturally integrated into the EBS foundation and explicitly follows EBS assignment rules, ensuring full compliance with user responsibilities and security configurations from the moment of implementation .

Critically, Blitz Report fully enforces advanced database security, including the use of Oracle VPD policies at both the row and column levels . This means that when migrating Discoverer reports, the inherent security constraints travel with the data access .

VPD policies attached to tables dynamically restrict data based on user session attributes. When Blitz Report executes as APPS, custom VPD functions can check the application context (SYS_CONTEXT) to determine if the session originated from the Blitz Report module (‘XXEN_REPORT – %’) and apply necessary restrictions, such as hiding salary data or applying row-level constraints .

This robust layer of protection guarantees that your newly migrated EBS reporting capabilities maintain stringent data governance and cannot be bypassed, fulfilling critical audit requirements.
