 XML Publisher is a Template-based reporting tool that
makes report generation more efficient by separating the
data extraction logic from the report layout.

 When XML Publisher became part of the Oracle BI
Enterprise Edition Suite it was re-branded as Oracle BI
Publisher (Business Intelligence)
 Publisher is synonymous with BI Publisher. The two terms
are interchangeable.

 BI Publisher for e-Business Suite requires Oracle Applications
and the concurrent manager to generate reports. This product
is formerly known as XML Publisher.
 BI Publisher Enterprise is a stand alone comprehensive suite
of products that deliver the full range of BI capabilities
including:
 Interactive dashboards
 Full Ad-hoc reporting
 Proactive intelligence and Alerts

Oracle Reports:
The last major changes to Oracle Reports were in the 10g release. Since then, there
have been limited new features added to the product in Oracle Reports 11gR1 and
11gR2. Development efforts for Oracle Reports since 10g have been focused on
stability and bug fixes. We are planning to release Oracle Reports 12c as part of
Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c.
However, Oracle’s strategic reporting solution is now BI Publisher. While Oracle’s
support of Oracle Reports will extend well into the future, customers should begin
planning their migration to BI Publisher. Many Oracle applications and products,
including E-Business Suite, Siebel CRM and JD Edwards, have already changed
their reporting infrastructure to use BI Publisher as a replacement to earlier reporting
tools.
