<p class="MsoNormal">Hello again Banner report users:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As promised, attached you will find a list of all Banner reports. Finance reports on the first tab, AR the second and Payroll the third.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some reports are marked obsolete because they haven’t been run in the past year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most reports are still needed and will be re-written over the course of the coming year using IBM Cognos.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some Banner Finance reports such as Indexes, Account Hierarchy, Budget Status and Transaction Detail already have Cognos equivalents and will be marked obsolete.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We expect most reports will run fine from Cognos instead of Banner using the same parameter choices and formatted to look similar.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of course, those among us who are not already Cognos users will want to register for training in the coming months to ease the transition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Information Services is testing the ability to launch a Cognos report from Banner for situations where the Banner context is critical.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Information Services is also preparing a new live view of Banner data for Cognos reports that require up to the minute data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Three questions for you:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Is there any report that must be run from Banner instead of from Cognos ? Why is the Banner context critical ?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Is there any report you run from Banner where real time data is critical ? Or would the same Cognos report be adequate if it reflected yesterday’s Banner data ?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Would you like to participate in a Banner report virtual meeting to discuss this transition, ask questions and share suggestions with your colleagues ?<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please respond to me directly to identify reports that must be run from Banner, or must have real time data, and/or to receive an invitation to discuss this transition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Subject:</b> Banner/Oracle Reports Retirement<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Banner report users:<o:p></o:p></p>
<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>
