Register Fusion Financials BI Report as ESS Job

Registering a Fusion Financials BI (Business Intelligence) report as an ESS (Enterprise Scheduler Service) job in Oracle Fusion Applications allows you to schedule and automate the generation of reports. Here’s a general guide on how to register a Fusion Financials BI report as an ESS job:

1. Access Fusion Applications:

   • Log in to your Oracle Fusion Applications environment with the appropriate credentials.

2. Navigate to Business Intelligence (BI) Catalog:

   • Access the BI Catalog where your BI reports are stored. This is typically done through the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) interface or a similar BI tool used in Fusion Applications.

3. Locate the BI Report:

   • Find and select the Fusion Financials BI report that you want to schedule as an ESS job.

4. Access ESS Job Configuration:

   • Depending on your Fusion Applications version and configuration, there may be different ways to access the ESS job configuration. In general, you’ll need to access a menu or option related to job scheduling and ESS.

5. Create a New ESS Job:

   • Create a new ESS job and specify the following details:
     • Job Name: Give your job a meaningful name.
     • Frequency: Set the schedule for when the report should be generated (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
     • Parameters: Define any parameters or options required for the report.
     • Output Format: Specify the format in which the report should be generated (e.g., PDF, Excel).

6. Select the BI Report:

   • In the ESS job configuration, link the BI report you selected earlier. You may need to specify the report’s location in the BI Catalog.

7. Configure Output Delivery:

   • Define how the report output should be delivered. This can include options like email, FTP, or saving it to a specific location.

8. Set Job Dependencies (Optional):

   • If your ESS job depends on the completion of other jobs or conditions, configure any necessary dependencies.

9. Review and Save the Job:

   • Double-check all the job settings and configurations. Once you are satisfied, save the ESS job.

10. Schedule the Job:

    • If you didn’t specify an immediate execution, schedule the job to run according to your chosen frequency.

11. Monitor the ESS Job:

    • After scheduling the ESS job, you can monitor its status and view the generated reports in the ESS job dashboard or monitoring interface.

12. Testing and Troubleshooting:

    • Before relying on the scheduled job in a production environment, conduct thorough testing to ensure it works as expected. Address any issues or errors that may arise.
