Oracle Reporting Manager White Paper

Oracle Report Manager is an online report distribution system that provides a secure

and centralized location to produce and manage point-in-time reports

.

Oracle Report Manager users can be either report producers or report consumers.

Report producers submit, publish, and set security for reports. Report consumers view

and approve reports.

Reports can be published and presented to certain responsibilities without additional

security or a variety of security models can be applied, allowing only authorized users

to view entire reports or parts of reports. In addition, you can use your templates to

integrate reports displayed by Report Manager using your organization's individual

style.

Oracle Report Manager:

• Provides a centralized report distribution system for point-in-time reports.

• Enables information producers to submit and publish Financial Statement

Generator (FSG), Ad Hoc FSG, Variable Format, and Standard reports to a central

report sets.
