Enabling Folder option while scheduling the BI report through Content Server destination

Michelle Cooper

Description

As per Oracle, The Content Server delivery channel in BI Publisher supports the storage communicate via RDC /HTTP/JAX-RPC protocols to deliver to WCC server. Supporting Folder in Content Sever Deliver

Use Case and Business Need

We have many Outbound integrations that deals with BI reports. Previously we had an option to generate the files from BI report and place it in Oracle's Cloud SFTP and now its getting deprecated(unavailable from 1st Dec'17). Oracle recommends to use UCM instead. For this, first we need to setup Content Server in BI Administration and use the Content Server destination while scheduling the report. Some points that come into our mind while using Content Server Delivery channel

1. Oracle Cloud SFTP provided us to maintain a folder structure and we used to provide the path to generate the file in particular folder(eg: Accounts Payable file in /upload/E_1/Outbound/AP) 

2. Can we create the folder structure in WCC and maintain the files as per module?
Ans: Yes we can create the folders in WCC using Admin privileges

3. Can we see the folder options while scheduling the report?
Ans: No, as per Oracle its a standard functionality that we cannot see the folder options while scheduling the report.

So I have raised an SR with Oracle on Enabling the folder option and they have raised an ER. 
This was my idea which can help customers to create folders in WCC and use them while scheduling the report.
