Session: BI Publisher
Title: "Advanced Reporting with BI Publisher"
Speaker: Kanichiro Nishida, Sr. Principle Consultant, Oracle
I have to admit that I am not familiar with BI Publisher at all. However, I think it would be nice to have the product knowledge in case we need to create nicely presented reports. So, let me capture several the high points where I see relevant.
- Supports XML and XSL as report format and template, among other - can it be used for define.xml?
- Supports optional data export as XML - can it be used as CDISC ODM output for ViewPoint FUSE?
- Customizable RTF template
- Through JSP/Java servlet, user can directly import Microsoft Excel data into BI EE without needing to import the raw data into an Oracle table.
My head is spinning toward the end of the session. My impression is it is a very complicated too since Kanichiro kept toggling between application screens. Dizzy. Also, it is 5:30pm already.
