1. Report Exchange Designer
Report eXchange Designer is one of the module of Oracle Applications Business Suite.
It provides generally used Fixed Asset reports that you can modify according to your
needs using some simple forms. These reports are run as a spawned process and not
designed in oracle report builder. It is generally recommended to not to design new
reports using RX but you can do so following some easy steps.
2. Steps of creating reports :
1. Creating View.
2. Creating Report
3. Creating Concurrent Program
1. Create a view with relevant data . This view should have its first column as
REQUEST_ID.
6. Enter the data as shown :
Application in which you
will run the report
Give any name to
your report
Responsibility from where you
will run the report
View name you created for report
8. Grouping of the data :
For grouping first select the column and then press + button (Increase Level) at right side.
9. Grouping Style :
You can group left or group above your data. For that change tab to Page Setup.
On this tab you can specify what information you want to display in your report heading.
10. Summary of data :
To get summarize data like (count or summation of particular columns) press column
details button at bottom.
Note : All these setting will be stored in default attribute set of your report as you can see
in the figure below. For your report there may be any number of attribute set with
different name and with different settings(like grouping on different column, summary on
different column, no of columns etc.). At the time of execution you will be asked to
specify which attribute set report you want to run on parameter form.
11. To copy one attribute set press Copy Attribute Set Button at bottom :
12. After copying you can modify new attribute set (like grouping, summary etc.)
In above screen you are now grouping on Work Order Type instead of Asset Number and
removed 2 columns from the same report i.e. when you run report selecting default
attribute set these 2 columns will be shown on report but not with sandeep_set.
Save all your work . you are done with report creation.
13. Find report id for this report.
Goto Help->Diagnistic->Examine
Select Reports Block and then find Report_Id field :
In above screen report id is 100183 . Note it down you will enter it in your concurrent
program parameter.
14. 3. Create a concurrent program .
Executable : FARXPBSH.
You don’t need to create or change the executable always use FARXPBSH.
Screen below is just for your reference
This executable publish seeded reports and reports developed by you.
It is a spawned process which is C or Pro*C program.
For all the reports use this executable.
16. Program Parameters :
Create following 4 compulsory parameters and enter the data as shown in following
screens :
17. Enter report id that we got at the time of report creation. --- 100183 in this case.
Confirm that display checkbox is unchecked for report_id parameter.
18. Here we specified DEFAULT as default value for Attribute Set.
At run time you can choose any attribute set you defined for this report.
19. Here we specified TEXT as default value for Output format.
At runtime you can choose other options i.e.
CSV – Comma Separated Values
HTML – HTML format
TEXT – Text Format
TAB - Tab Delimited
20. You can specify more parameters with these compulsory parameters.
Suppose you want to specify where clause for some column.
For ex : Asset Number should be in given range .
For this kind of parameter you need to specify relational operator with parameter name
surrounded by “[“ & “]”.
For Ex :
[ASSET_NUMBER>=]
[ASSET_NUMBER<=]
[ASSET_NUMBER=]
[ASSET_NUMBER IS LIKE ]
21. Now you are done with program creation.
Assign this program to appropriate request group of your application .
Now navigate to correct responsibility (In our example DMC Enterprise Asset
Management) and submit the request
