JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Embedded BI Publisher Process Overview
Creating customized reports using the embedded BI Publisher involves these steps:
- Use Oracle's BI Publisher Template Builder, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, or Adobe Acrobat to create a blank template file. 
- Add an object to the BI Publisher Object Repository (P95600), using the template name for the object name. 
- Create a report definition in the JD Edwards BI Publisher Report Definition application (P95620), associating the source batch application (UBE) and the template. 
- Submit the report definition to generate an XML data file. 
- Download the XML data and design the template in the desktop application that you used to create the template. 
- Update the report definition in the BI Publisher Report Definitions application, defining criteria such as output types, bursting, and delivery options. 
- Upload the completed template into BI Publisher Object Repository. 
- Submit the report definition to BI Publisher. 
- Use Report Definition Jobs (P95630) to access the submission details, view details of the output, view the output delivery, and view the output.
