What is bursting?
Bursting is a process of
-
Splitting data into
blocks
-
Generating document
for each block
-
Delivering the
document to one of more destinations
The data for the report is generated by executing query once and then
splitting the data based on a key value. For each block on data, a separate
document is generated and delivered.
Using BI Publisher’s bursting feature we can split a single report based
on an element in the data model, and deliver the report based on a second
element in the data model. Driven by the delivery element, we can apply a
different template, output format, delivery method and locale to each split
segment of the report. Example implementation are –
-
Report generation for
customer with their own company logo on the report.
-
Generation of pay
slips to all employees based on one report and delivered to them by email.
