To publish an output of a report to be viewed by other users

We want to run Create Accounting program automatically at night under a special user lets say "SUPPORT".
We want 5 users from Finance to be able to view the output of this program. They do not have access to the same responsibility from which that report was run by SUPPORT user.
Is there any feature in R12 that you can use to publish output of a particular report to be viewed by other people? Does Role Based Access Control let you achieve this?
Thanks.

How to view / edit other users subscriptions to reports via report admin user ?

Is there a built-in GUI means or power tool to access a list of all the users' subscriptions to reports in SQL 2012 ?
It seems that report admin can only view his own subscriptions, same as any other user via "my subscriptions", but no found option for report admin user to view or manage susbcriptions of other users.
How would u recommend to view the list of all the subscriptions to reports in SSRS, and as necessary to
also manage them ?
p.s. Is there a GUI for this in SQL 2014 ?
Thanks

Hi moital,
According to your description, you want to access a list which contains all users subscriptions and edit them. Right?
In Reporting Services, we have a table named "Subscription" in the ReportServer database. It includes all the information of each subscription. Please go to SQL Server Management Studio and try the query below in ReportServer database:
select c.UserName,b.SubscriptionID,a.ItemID ReportID,a.Path,a.Name ReportName
from Subscriptions b inner join Catalog a on a.ItemID=b.Report_OID inner join Users c on b.OwnerID=c.UserID
It will return us each subscription with corresponding ReportName, UserName and Path:
Then we can go to the Report based on the path if we need to edit the subscription. We don't have build-in GUI for any version SQL, but this can be a good method to get the list of subscriptions.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Publishing Output of FSG Reports into Custom Directory instead of defaults

Hello,
We have a requirement of publishing the output of FSG Reports into a custom directory/network directory instead of default database directory. We are using report manager.
Please help !
Thx/Faisal Ahmad

Oh.. i thought you will hit here at last. But finding the path of the EXE every time in the client PC is not a suitable solution. So we cant hardcode the EXE path also.
But even here, we can handle in 2 ways.
1) Putting the EXE in the PATH variable of the SYSTEM
2) Finding the EXE path by reading the REGSITRY of the client PC.
But our current standards doesnt allows us to take either of this. Because we arent allowed to use HOST commands from the front end.
Anything else we can do to achieve apart from what i have said before
Many thanks for your participation and prompt replies.

How to view the output submitted by other user

Product : EBS R12.0.4
Plateform : RHEL AS 4.6
I want to view the output submitted by other users. I have tested it for responsiblity level in which sysadmin can view the other users request but it is labour work. Can anyone suggest to view it with less work.
Regards,

Hi,
you need to understand the new RBAC concept and the involved objects. Just to mention that Grants are here specific EBS-RBAC objects you have to deal with. You need to be sysadmin and functional Administrator to define and assign those objects. I know that the metalink note is short and could be longer, but all steps are right.
If you ask mainly what you are doing by utilizing this notes, you are defining additional where clauses, internally added to the basic object (here concurrent requests) and additionally you are granting rights to get buttons enabled (log / out).
If you need something else, just let me know.

EBS: Email XML publisher output, from After Report Trigger in Data Template

Here is what I'm trying to do:
-- In EBS (11.5.10 CU2), I'm using XML publisher (5.6.2) data template and layout template to generate Output files (PDF, EXCEL etc)
--In the Data Template's AfterReport Trigger, I'm using the Concurrent Request Id to locate the Output file name and trying to Email that output file.
Problem:
-- When the AfterReport trigger code is executed, the code is NOT seeing the output file and hence the file is NOT emailed.
Observations/Questions:
-- From what I observe, the Output Post Processor ( that generates the Excel / PDF files) is running AFTER the code in AfterReport trigger... and hence the AfterReport trigger is Not quite seeing / able to access the output file.
So, the sequence of execution seems to be:
-- Before Report Trigger
-- Data Query (SQL statement)
-- After Report Trigger
-- Output Post Processor
Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
If Yes, how else can the DataTemplate access the Output file?
If No, what could cause the AfterReport trigger to not see the output file?

Because the AfterReport Trigger is running before the Output Post Processor, it is Not able to see the output file. Is that a True statement?
I believe so, as the OPP works on the output of the Report after the Report has completed execution.
You could use the same approach as we do for bursting the report to different users. Write a Java Concurrent program based on "oracle.apps.xdo.oa.cp. XMLPReportBurst" with delivery channel Email to send the email output. You would need to add code to launch the Concurrent child request in your AfterReport Trigger:
function AfterReport return boolean is
jreq_id number;
begin
srw.message (100, 'DEBUG: AfterReport_Trigger +');
jreq_id:= FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST ('XDO','XDOBURST','','',FALSE,:P_CONC_REQUEST_ID,'Y',chr(0),
If (jreq_id=0)
then
srw.message (100,'Request id is zero');
end if;

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,
V

How to restrict material output in the report published in the portal

Hi all,
I am new to BI 7. I have a series of materials that start with the material IDs TR52, RL25, XY56 and son on. Now my user wants to view only the materials that are starting with the ID TR52 when he runs the report from the portal. In the material box when I type in TR I am getting the list of all the materials, the same is happening even when I try TR*. What should I do so that I can restrict the report output only to a particular material ID that my user types in?
Please help.
Thank you.
TR.

Hi Friends,
Thank you for the reply.
I tried to exclude the values, but i dont find any chance to exclude them
If i try the same from characteristic restriction, its allowing me to exclude.
Is there any other possibility to restrict these? Please suggest

XML Publisher rtf output not consistent with the rtf created

I am using XML publisher to generate a custom report.
The approach I folllowed:
1) AM Class: Write the VO data to XMLNode using vo.writeXML() method
2) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a data template and attach the xml created in step1 as "Preview Data"
3) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a rtf template (contains images and text), attach the data template (step 2) and attach the rtf created.
4) Controller class: Use TemplateHelper.processTemplate() method, passing the rtf template and the XML data from VO.
5) Verify the rtf output in application.
Issues I am having are as follows:
1) Major issue is page format. I have saved my rtf file with a different page format as below:
     File->Page Setup->Paper->Width:255 pt
               ->Height:165 pt
     File->Page Setup->Margins->Top: 12 pt
                    ->Bottom: 0.1 pt
                    ->Left: 0.1 pt
                    ->Right: 12 pt
When I open my document from the application, the margins and page setup rtf output is not retained (as given in teh doc), hence my whole layout is disturbed.
Thus, I am getting a very weird layout when I open my rtf output from application.
How can I retain the page settings?
2) I added a image, and the size of the image also is not retained as well.
And if I set the layout wrapping style anything other than "In line with text", the image does not show up in the output.
Would greatly appreciate if someone can put some light on this.

RTF & PDF output can't be exact same, we can minimize the difference by eliminating all extra spaces(Ex: from table rows, in between form fields etc.) from RTF while generating RTF output.
For reference:
BUG:8662322 - RTF FORMAT DOES NOT SHOWS WITH FIXED HEIGHT OF ROW

How to hide the specified rows in the output of the report?

Hello all,
    I have a requirement where i have to hide some of the lines (<b>initial 6 lines</b> that is <b>6 rows</b>) in the output of the report.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks for you time.

Hello Sai,
I believe this is query output ( e.g., )
Country   Sales
India        $100
USA        $200
Germany $300
You want to hide the line Germany $300
Case 1:
    If you can change the query, Filter on Country and exclude Germany
Case 2:
    If you can not change the query, use url appending and filter out Germany
Check webapi reference for the exact commands
Case 3:
    Only if you are using the NW2004s front-end, Report designer will be available for you. In this, you can delete the rows that you do not want and publish in web.
Case 1 and 2 solutions are available in older versions of front-end as well.

BI Publisher server vs. Siebel report templates

I am investigating creating BI publisher reports using data from Siebel.
Do you know what the advantage is of integrating BI Publisher with Siebel vs. using BI Publisher Desktop to create report templates and just adding these into a Siebel database to view the data that way?
Putting this another way, are there any advantages to running reports in BI Publisher server vs. running them in Siebel?
E.g. Is there anything else you can do with the data in BI Publisher server that you can’t do in Siebel?
Thanks
Steve

Hi,
The Main Difference is that reports in Siebel can Manipulate data, whereas BI publisher can only read data and publish processed output, it cannot Modify data in the Database.

Add new font to PO Output for Communication Report

I'm trying to add a new font (Edwardian Script ITC) to the PO Output Communication report. I have added the font file through XML Publisher Administrator, and I have an RTF template report and a test XSL-FO report both correctly displaying the font. The PO Output for Communication report is not displaying the font and I believe it has something to do with the fact that it is a java concurrent program.
Any ideas on what additional steps need to be done to get this font to show up on the PO Output for Communication? Has anyone been successful in adding a different font to this report?
Thanks,
Suzanne

My RTF template is showing the font, and my test XSL-FO template is showing the font. The PO Output for Communication XSL-FO template is NOT showing the font.
I even tested by replacing the PO Output for Communication template file with my test template file. When I do that the font not applied in the PO Output for Communication report, even though it was applied using the same template in a test report.

Please advise what you are trying to achieve.
