Automate dynamically selected Discoverer report Export/Import

Question

hello,
I have a situation where in I need to export newly created reports and import them back again after cloning.
eg: user will create report in dev1 instance. This instance will get daily refreshed from prod. But we do not want to loose these reports after cloning of DEV1.
Query that we wil use to select reports is :-
select *
from eul5_documents
where doc_created_Date between (sysdate -1) and sysdate;
This is daily activity and hence has tobe automated.
Quick reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
In theory, your idea is sound. However, if your have any sharing of reports then these could be lost using your method as you will lose any that have been shared today.
Why don't you use Discoverer's in-built export | import capabilities via the Admin tool? This way you can be guaranteed to get everything right. You could use your SQL to detect workbooks that have been created during the day and then take those names and use the Admin tool to export them. Following the refresh from Production you could then import them.
Best wishes
