The Managed Reporting Repository supports long file names for My Reports, Standard Reports, Reporting Objects, and Other files. The maximum length of a file name is 64 characters followed by a dot and an extension of up to five additional characters.

File names are created by Managed Reporting when procedures are copied into a Domain from Data Servers, imported from the file system, or created by a tool. The file name is based on the report description when created by a tool, or the file name when importing a procedure. When a file name is being created, only lowercase alphanumeric characters, underscores, and spaces are retained (all other characters are removed). Spaces are converted to underscores, and repeating underscores are replaced by a single underscore. The result is trimmed to 64 characters and the file extension is applied.

If this file name is unique, the file is written. If the file name is not unique, a random string containing alpha and numeric characters is created and added to the file name, and the file name is tested again for uniqueness. After a file name is created, it becomes the report HREF referenced by launch pages, drill-downs, includes, and schedules.
