      Hi Uva

      We have built a report which is Content Server data source to show a txt file content in the report output.

      The file was an attachment for an object, so we have built a simple SQL query to select out the right attachment record, then added a Content Server data source and connected the SQL with Content server group using DM_VERSION_NUMBER column from fnd_documents_tl table.

      Regards,

      Zoltan

        Hello Zoltan,

        I am attempting to pull documents from UCM from an OTBI report (accessed through dashboard) and found your post and wondering if you can share how you did this. I have created what you mention above (screen Shot attached) & it returns the data, but I need the actual image displayed or a link to click on to view. Ideally I would have to a group of images belonging to the same employee (same as displayed from the skills & qualifications Attachment Section Screen). Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated. 

        Thanks Much!

        Regards,

        Karl

      Hi Zoltan,

      Thanks for your reply.

      I assume, in your case File was uploaded by Ess Job, am i correct  ?

      But, in my case, if I manually upload Text file to UCM using File Import/Export. Can I view that text file using BI Report ?

       

      Thanks in advance.

        Hi Uva,

        In our case the file was uploaded using the Attachment feature that's why it was reachable through attachment tables.

        Regarding manual upload: The Content Server component is requiring at least one SQL query in the same model prior adding a Content Server data source this SQL should provide file metadata (somehow) So after manual upload you need to select out the file meta data somewhere from Fusion, but I am not aware about the place.

        Regards,

        Zoltan
