Oracle Discoverer is a business intelligence tool to support organizational
decisions. It uses a repository called EUL (End User Layer) which is based on
information stored and controlled by transactional applications. The main EUL goal
is to hide details and complexity of a transactional database, organizing data to
reflect the company specific business areas, making all data queries faster and
easier.
Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS - also known as Oracle Applications and sometimes
called Oracle Financials) has a BI module with an EUL mapped from Oracle EBS
transactional data, which permits Oracle Discoverer to be used as a decision support
tool for information stored into Oracle EBS database.
By using Oracle EBS security schema, which uses responsibilities to control access
rights, Oracle Discoverer shows its repository in a user friendly way, using folders
for each business area, listing all items that you can select for a query.
When you select an item for a query, all items that don't have relationship with
this first selected item will be disabled for selecting because every relationship
and dependencies are mapped through EUL.
All Oracle Discoverer queries can be viewed in a tabular or matrix formats, allowing
the definition of data fields (items) at the header of a report. This is used to
filter the result set of data to be shown. There are many data format functions and
it is possible to change the reports layouts, allowing conditional format of
characters fonts and colors for each column of data. Besides this features, you can
change columns positions, order and group data dynamically.
Oracle Discoverer can be executed by a local desktop software installation (Oracle
Discoverer Desktop Edition) or using a browser via web (Oracle Discoverer Plus).
Additionally you can export the reports for Html files, Microsoft Excel and other
file formats.
All of these characteristics make Oracle Discoverer a powerful and useful tool for
Oracle E-Business Suite reporting, beyond Oracle Reports and XML Publisher, each one
with its features and benefits. If your company has specific business requirements
that are not totally satisfied by Oracle EBS reports, please give us a call and we
will deliver you the best customized solutions using any of these reporting tools.
