Exporting the BI Publisher Report

manyam16

Hello,

I have a BI Publisher report using RTF Template. Everything looks good. But, When I export the report, I am getting the report name (file name) as Employee_Employee.pdf.

How to make it just Employee. where to change the file name to be whatever we want when we export.

Can you please suggest.

Thank you,

Employee_Employee.pdf means you've saved both the report and the template with the same name. Adopt a sensible naming convention...

If most of your reports have one tamplate (tab) then use Report ... Now you have Employee_Report.pdf

If you've got various templates, then perhaps something like:

Employee_DepartmentSummary.pdf

Employee_MonthlyNewHires.pdf

Employee_YearlyTerminations.pdf

Employee_AddressDetail.pdf

Change the way you approach it versus trying to change the design and intent of the tool being used.

Thank you Thomas, I agree with you.

But when I change the template name to report, it is showing as Report on the tab which does not have any meaning. Is there any other way? or it is the limitation on the tool?

AFAIK the name will be reportname_templatename. You could call it as a product limitation or feature. I would suggest, raise an ER with Oracle for your particular need.

Sure, Thank you

Yes, it's the quirky limitation of a really old product. I doubt Oracle is going to make any improvements (significant) to this product.

You will have to use a little creativity as we all have had to with this product!
