<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Oracle Reports technology, used by developers at Information Services to publish reports that users can run from Banner pages, is being retired in about a year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reports in use and still needed will be re-written (with considerable effort) using a newer technology.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oracle reports are run from FWIORPT and PWIORPT and many other Banner pages that have the “Create Report or Spreadsheet Option” under the Tools menu.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The “Create Report or Spreadsheet Option” may no longer be needed now that the Export Action has been added to the Tools menu on many Banner pages.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will soon share a list of reports we feel are obsolete based either on lack of use or on the fact that alternatives exist such as the Banner Export Action or a substantially similar Cognos report.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would appreciate your help understanding if and why any report marked “Obsolete” is still needed and should therefore be re-written.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will also host a meeting of Oracle Report power users to discuss this transition, hear concerns, and answer any questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
