Overview of Embedded BI Publisher

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides an embedded BI Publisher reporting solution based on Oracle's BI Publisher. The solution integrates the embedded BI Publisher reports into JD Edwards EnterpriseOne life cycle management, and the embedded reports are created, managed and processed using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne toolset.

Embedding BI Publisher reduces the high cost of producing, customizing, and maintaining business documents. Built on the open XSL-FO (Extensible Stylesheet Language Formating Objects) The extended standard provides a full range of reporting capabilities, including charts, formulas, watermarks, and graphics. Using a set of familiar desktop tools, users can create and maintain their own report formats based on data extracts from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne reports.

This tight integration between the Universal Batch Engine and BI Publisher allows the batch engine to handle data selection, logic processing, and output to XML format. BI Publisher then accepts the XML and formats the data according to predefined templates for fonts, layouts, graphics, and distribution to a variety of print and electronic outputs.
