The Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise server elements are available as an “out of the box install” using the Oracle Universal Installer, and is available for download from. This latest version of Oracle BI Publisher brings the Desktop and Server versions of the product into a new release called Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise, and support is now extended to Oracle PeopleSoft and J.D. Following the initial success of Publisher 5.5, an updated client version (XML Publisher 5.6) was released in April 2006.

This initial release lacked several key features that stopped it being a complete end-to-end solution as previously mentioned the server element was more of a “toolkit” and you had to build the actual application yourself, and you still had to define some parts of the report – the “report definition” file with an “.xdo” suffix, that brought together the dataset, the template and details of any report parameters – by hand. Oracle BI Publisher Desktop was a Microsoft Word Add-in that provided the ability to import an BI or SQL data source, lay out a report template using standard Microsoft Word tables and formatting, and then run the report from within Microsoft Word. The original release was called XML Publisher 5.5 and consisted of 2 products – Oracle XML Publisher (Desktop) and Oracle BI Publisher (Server). It was first released with Oracle EBusiness Suite 11.5.10 towards the end of 2005. Oracle BI Publisher was originally developed to solve these reporting problems.
