In my previous company we (DBA+Dev team) got involved with this product. I think it's more likely to end up in SO, but believe it might be useful to many other DBAs.

Probably on topic because the question is more about PL/SQL in an Oracle database than Oracle BI Publisher.
Note: I have never used the product, so my examples may be way off.
