Security Visualization: Blitz Report for EBS Logins Geolocation Tracking in Excel Maps

Avatar photoCustomer October 17, 2025 at 10:13 am

We recently implemented EBS 12.2.10, which provides the client IP address in the `FND_LOGINS` table. We are now tasked with visualizing our EBS logins geolocation tracking for security monitoring purposes. Manually converting IP addresses to city/country data and plotting them on a map is too slow. Can the Blitz Report tool automate this process and display the results dynamically using features like Excel Bing Maps and Pivot functionality?

      Yes, utilizing the geolocation features added in EBS 12.2.10 onward is an excellent security measure. We provide the ‘FND User Login History with Geolocation’ report, which uses a PL/SQL function to retrieve the city and country based on the client IP address.

      How do we integrate the map visualization into the report output?

      After running the report, you use the Blitz Report Pivot functionality to summarize the count of logins per city. This pivoted data is then used within an Excel template to insert a Bing Map. You save this file back into EBS as an Excel template, ensuring the map dynamically refreshes whenever the report runs with new data.

      For our specific environment, setting up the necessary geolocation API and Oracle Wallet seems complex. Are there guidelines for this underlying technical setup?

    • Support October 18, 2025 at 5:21 am  

      The underlying mechanism involves creating a PL/SQL function (`xxen_geolocation`) that connects to an external geolocation API, requiring specific database setup like creating an Access Control Entry (ACE) and importing the site’s certificate into an Oracle Wallet. Our documentation provides a template for this setup for your DBAs to follow.
