Submitting XML Publisher Concurrent Program through PL/SQL

Hi,
I am trying to submit a XML Publisher concurrent program through PL/SQL API fnd_request.submit_request.
The request gets fired and completes successfully but it doesn't pick up the default template attached to it. Its output is plain XML but expected output is PDF report.
However when I submit this report from SRS, it picks up the default template and gives output in PDF.
Please let me know what could be going wrong?
Regards,
Nitin

Check out the FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT API. You need to call it before you submit your report.
Cheers,
Dave

I want to submit a concurrent program from pl/sql. Please help me.

Dear all,
I want to submit a concurrent program from pl/sql. But I failed. Please help me.
Detail:
I create a concurrent program in 'Cash Management, Vision Operations (USA)' responsibility. And it be submitted success in EBS.
Then
I create a test script in pl/sql. And use 'FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE' to initialize ebs, then use 'FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST' to submit
the consurrent program, But the procedure aways return 0.
I cannot found the reason. Please help me.Thanks.
Attached informations may describe the problem:
1.The concurrenct submitted success in EBS.
request_id = 4750655 (Sorry, I dont know how to add pictures.)

end CALLTEST;


Can you check from which schema you are executing FND_REQUEST? You can try as follows;
Connect to your required schema, create a synonym on apps.fnd_request, connect from apps and finally execute grant all on apps.fnd_request to all.
You can check for relevance from Doc ID: Note:147495.1
Please do keep in the mind the soultion above should be applied to a test/dev EBS instance first.
I hope this would be of help.

Invoke Java Concurrent program from PL/ SQL

Hi Experts,
I 've a requirement to invoke a Java Concurrent program form PL/ SQL. I 've defined default values for some of the parameters in the Java Concurrent program definition and some parameters do not have a default value. I would like to provide only the mandatory attributes that do not have a default value set from my PL/ SQL code. Can you please suggest how this can be achieved?
I tried giving null for those attributes. But, the java program takes a "" value instead of the default values. Any inputs here will be immensely helpful.
Thanks,
Ganapathi

Updating the correct format to be used for reference:
The correct format is:
fnd_request.submit_request(
application => 'PDT_CODE',
program => 'PGM_NAME', --program IN varchar2 default NULL,
start_time=> SYSDATE, --start_time IN varchar2 default NULL,
sub_request => FALSE, --sub_request IN boolean default FALSE
argument1 => rowdata,
argument2 => xxx
Note: the parameter name should be "argument1...n" (and not the actual argument name).
But I noticed that for parameters that are missed out, the default values still do not take effect. Can anyone please confirm this behavior?
Thanks,
Ganapathi

Scheduling of discoverer report via concurrent program or pl/sql code

Hi All,
I am beginner on Discoverer Report. As per my client requirements we need to do the scheduling of discoverer report rather than manually run it every week. Also we need to do this job by help of concurrent program or pl/sql code. But I don’t know how to scheduled the discoverer report.
Please any one help me or provide pl/sql code.
Thanks in Advance

This is one of those questions that has been asked on the forum for years now and the answer really hasn't changed in that - command line using .BAT files, command line using VBasic (Rod's expertise) and Java potential via Plus.
You can search the forum for the fully documented answers to this but basically:
1. you can use Disco Desktop - NOT Plus or Viewer - with good ol' MS BAT files using the command line interface
2. you can use Disco Desktop - NOT Plus or Viewer - with good ol' MS BAT files using VBasic calls
3. I think - although never have seen - using Java command line interface to control it via a Java program
oh yah ...
4. if you're running Oracle Apps I believe you can get the Concurrent Manager to run the Disco report for you as well (another of Rod's expertises)

XML Publisher Bursting Program - limitation of email addresses

In the XML Publisher Bursting program we were able to add only 3 email addresses(containing 87 characters) the email was sent successfully.
When we tried to concatenate with another email address (it went up to 115 characters), the email was not sent to any of the email addresses (but the bursting program completed with normal status)
Is there any limitation in adding the email address in the tag
<xapi:message id="123" to="[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]" attachment="true" subject="${MAIL_SUBJECT}">${BURST_MAIL_BODY}</xapi:message>
we also tried changing the bursting control file as below but still we did not receive mail to any of the email addresses
<xapi:Delivery>
<xapi:filesystem output="${FILE_SYS_OUTPUT}" />
- <xapi:email server="${HOST_NAME}" port="25" from="${BURST_MAIL_ADD}" reply-to="">
<xapi:message id="123" to="[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]" attachment="true" subject="${MAIL_SUBJECT}">${BURST_MAIL_BODY}</xapi:message>
<xapi:message id="123" to="[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]" attachment="true" subject="${MAIL_SUBJECT}">${BURST_MAIL_BODY}</xapi:message>
<xapi:message id="123" to="[email protected]
subject="${MAIL_SUBJECT}">${BURST_MAIL_BODY}</xapi:message>
</xapi:email>
- 
- <xapi:Document key="${MOT_SO_NUMBER}" output-type="pdf" delivery="123">
<xapi:template type="rtf" location="${TEMP_LOC}" />
</xapi:Document>
Is there any other solution to add more number of email addresses in the bursting program?

Is it possible to submit a concurrent program through self service res

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement in which when a user logs in and concurrent program run which basically generates online payslip for an employee.Is it possible to submit the concurrent program with the required parameters through the employee self service responsibility?
I would also like to know if the print option could be made available to see the respective payslips after viewing the output through the self service responsibility screen?
Please post your ideas.
Many thanks
Praznateja

Hi
Many thanks for the reply.I am quite new to Oaf so could you please elaborate on the steps required to build the above mentioned requirement?
My understanding is that
We need build a custom controller having submitRequest() method in the ConcurrentRequest class containing the required parameters by using the code below :
*//Sample Code*
public int submitRequest(
String ProgramApplication ,
String ProgramName ,
String ProgramDescription ,
String StartTime,
boolean SubRequest,
Vector Parameters ) throws RequestSubmissionException
ProgramApplication -Application Short name of application under which the program is registered.
ProgramName - Concurrent Program Name for which the request has to be submitted
ProgramDescription - Concurrent Program Description
StartTime - Time at which the request has to start running.
SubRequest - Set to TRUE if the request is submitted from another running request and has to be treated as a sub request.
Parameters - Parameters of the concurrent Request
Here is the example for calling a concurrent program from a OA framework page.
import oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.ConcurrentRequest;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.server.OADBTransaction;
public int submitCPRequest(Number headerId) {
try {
OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)getDBTransaction();
java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
String applnName = "PO"; //Application that contains the concurrent program
String cpName = "POXXXX"; //Concurrent program name
String cpDesc = "Concurrent Program Description"; // concurrent Program description
// Pass the Arguments using vector
// Here i have added my parameter headerId to the vector and passed the vector to the concurrent program
Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
cpArgs.addElement(headerId.stringValue());
// Calling the Concurrent Program
int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName, cpDesc, null, false, cpArgs);
tx.commit();
return requestId;
} catch (RequestSubmissionException e) {
OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
oe.setApplicationModule(this);
throw oe;
Please add on if there is something which is missed out

And metalink note 1100253.1 states that this issue (java.lang.StackOverflowError) might be caused by a too large set of data to be sorted in the layout file. Recommendation is to removed the sort from the layout file and instead sort the data already in the data definition.

XML Publisher:Concurrent Prg not picking the RTF Template

Hi All,
We developed the rdf report and design the layout and we registred it.when we run the concurrent program program is not picking the RTF template.
We are using the Following version.
Oracle Apps 11.5.10
xml pub is 5.6.2
So please do the need ful, pleaseeeeeeee
Thanks & Regards
Leela

that suggests you haven't got the setup of the data definition and/or the layout template right.
Go into the XML Publisher administrator responsibility and select 'Data Definition'
You need to make sure that when you create the data definition it has the same code as the concurrent program short name and application. This is the connection between the two.
Having create the data definition, click on the 'Templates' tab and create a template. It should connect with the data Definition you have just created.
Now upload your layout template file.
If you have this right, then you will be able to see the layout template from the onsite setting tab.

Calling Transaction Import Concurrent Program in PL/SQl program

Hi,
I am trying to run Transaction Import process by calling the concurrent program in my pl/sql program.I think I am passing all the right paramters which are necessary.But the actual PAXTRTRX is never being called and I am not getting any request ID back.No exception is being thrown.Following is how I am calling the concurrent program...
p_tran_imp_request_id := fnd_request.submit_request
     ( application => 'PA'
          , program => 'PAXTRTRX'
          , sub_request => FALSE
          , argument1 => 'My Transaction Source name here'
          , argument2 => 'My batch name here'
,argument3 => 'my TXN_INTERFACE_ID here'
If I run the PRC: Transaction Import from front end...the process is run and import was completed just fine.But I am not able to call concurrent program from my program.Is there anything I am missing...Is there any thing I need to do before I call the concurrent program...
Any help in this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the advise. Yes I was calling the initialize function but I was passing wrong application id and responsibility id to that.Now that is taken care of.
Thanks
