Explanation:
The BI Publisher report is generated by the BI Publisher engine and rendered into a
desired format.
The same report can be rendered as PDF, MS Word, MS Excel, HTML, or even in
an interactive web view. This rendered output can then be sent on demand or on a

schedule to many destinations including e-mail, content repository, a file system, and
more.
Note: Having a content repository integrated with P6 can turn cluttered, unstructured content
into organized assets by making it easier to catalog, access, search, and reuse
documentation.
Note 2: BI Publisher
BI Publisher is a key part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack. The technology for
BI Publisher was originally developed for Oracle E-Business suite, but it is now used
in a wide range of systems, including Primavera Contract Manager, JD Edwards,
and PeopleSoft. From a user’s point-of view, it is very convenient to learn one well designed
reporting tool that is also used in many other systems. BI Publisher has
many users, and many resources available to help with reporting needs.
BI Publisher is designed such that the data being reported on is completely separated
from the layout of the report, and the layout of the report is completely separated
from the report output format.
