Hello,

During our audit review of BI reports, we came across seeded reports which show a different last modified date than our system upgrade date i.e., from 23A to 23B, etc.

I checked on Oracle support, but not able to find anything that says the reports were last modified as part of certain patch. Is there any way I can find the patch/bugs/SR details justifying the last modified date change of seeded reports?

This is a priority as auditor are awaiting our answer on this.

    Hi,

    The last update dates can only be changed during Upgrade/Patch.
    Last update dates of OOTB / seeded Folders/Files can vary based on internal modifications/developments before final addition to Patch/Release/Upgrade.

    The last update date of OOTB / seeded Folders can be changed due to Oracle internal developments or modifications.

    It is Read Only for normal users, so normal user can't make any changes in any OOTB / seeded reporting components under OOTB / seeded Folders.

    Hope this help.

    Thank You!

    Hi @Bhaskar Konar,

    I would like to highlight that it's exactly the dates that the seeded reports changed by internal modifications/developments needs to be revealed clearly.

    Taking our case as example, we are in Cohort B. The quarterly upgrade dates are in Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec of 2024.


    While please refer to below screenshot, the dates those seeded reports getting modified is not aligned with the quarterly updates.
    In the screenshot, it's TEST environment, so the upgrade dates should be 1st week of the upgrading month, i.e. (consider the time zone here is UTC+8) 1st-2nd Mar, 7th-8th Jun, 6th-7th Sep, and 6th-7th Dec.

    But last modified dates in the TEST are like 18th Sep, 7th Nov by System Account.

    Can you please guide us how to reply to auditors when they ask "why the seeded reports getting update by Oracle and what were the notification sent to us"?

    Thanks much for helping us getting prepared on this.
