Embedded Analytics Publisher reports use data that is generated by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne batch applications. You can use an existing report if it contains the necessary data or create your own report using EnterpriseOne toolset.
In previous articles here and here, we created a Business View that we used to design a Batch application. In a future article, we will use this batch application report to continue demonstrating Analytics Publisher Desktop with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and creating report templates with Microsoft Word.
