authentication. Report server setup with PTH security.
To access BID users simply type, http://reports in their web browser
Domains created for each data mart. User group created for each domain.
Users directed to group view(s) upon accessing the BID.
Ad-hoc access is based on user roles and metadata driven secure reporting
objects. Master file lists for custom reports are restricted/filtered by domain.

Proxy Management Tool
Challenge: Users wanted to grant proxy rights to
their supervisors, admins, peers. Proxy rights
granted/restricted by application and cost center(s).
Solution: Proxy management tool using WebFocus
reports and HTML pages in the MRE.
Demonstration of Proxy Tool.
Parameterized Reporting
Reports are accessed through parameterized HTML
pages.
Extensive use of AJAX and JavaScript to modify
parameter behavior.
Parameter driven reports offer a high degree of
flexibility in reporting and are a step closer to true AdHoc functionality offered by reporting objects.

Report Caster
& Data Quality Tool
Data Quality Tool (DQT) is a generic SQL application used to test
numerous data quality scenarios on data warehouse source systems.
Challenge 1: Run quality checks on the physician credentialing and
tracking system. Exceptions from each quality check are written to a
single text file. Exceptions in the text file need to be grouped by
physician and sent to individuals responsible for maintenance.
Challenge 2: Run quality checks on the patient registration system.
Exceptions from each quality check are written to a single text file
containing email address of the registrar. Send emails to each
registrar with a list of their exceptions.

Challenge 1
Reporting server has a master file created based
upon the exceptions file.
ReportCaster job runs an alert procedure that
• Checks for the existence of the exceptions file
• Calls a WF procedure to run the report and archive the
exceptions file.
ReportCaster sends exceptions email to
distribution list.

Challenge 2
DQT tool in SQL Server generates exceptions file on a
fixed schedule.
Reporting server has master files created based upon
the exceptions file and a dynamic address list file.
ReportCaster job runs an alert procedure that
• Checks for the existence of the exceptions file.
• Calls a WF procedure to create the dynamic address list file from the
exceptions file.
• Calls a WF procedure to run the report and archive the file.
ReportCaster sends exceptions email to individual
registrars by bursting on the dynamic address list.
