Bursting Query

Question

Hi,
I would like to use BI Publisher to email reports to customers using 'Bursting'. I have already defined the data source that is coming from a report based in answers (OBIEE). I am not sure how the query should be defined in the bursting properties as I am not directly querying any tables as below:
SELECT DISTINCT customer KEY,
'CUST_PDF' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' del_channel,
cust_email PARAMETER1,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER2,
'[email protected]' parameter3,
'Customer Arrears Update' parameter4,
'Dear'
||' '
|| cust ||chr(13)
|| 'Please find attached your arrears invoice.'
||chr(13)
|| 'Regards'
||chr(13)
|| 'Collections Team' PARAMETER5,
'true' parameter6,
'[email protected]' parameter7
FROM ?
I have already defined the data source and not sure how this query captures this. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks I am trying to avoid replicating code and building extra tables to store email addresses. I am trying to build the same query as in OBIEE but only selecting the relevant fields and conditions. I have used the 'Query Builder' in bursting properties as below:
select DISTINCT Broker."Introducer Name" KEY,
'Broker_Props_Monthly' TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'EXCEL' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'EMAIL' del_channel,
'[email protected]' PARAMETER1,
--'[email protected]' PARAMETER2,
--'[email protected]' parameter3,
'Brokers Test' parameter4,
'Dear'
||' '
|| Broker."Introducer Name"
||chr(13)
|| 'Please find attached your update.'
||chr(13)
|| 'Regards'
||chr(13)
|| 'Collections' PARAMETER5,
'true' parameter6
[email protected]' parameter7
from     "Applications".Organisation Organisation,
     "Applications".Broker Broker,
     "Applications"."Fact" "Fact"
where Organisation.Channel = 'FRM'
and ("Fact"."Proposal Date" between '01-FEB-2012' AND '29-FEB-2012' OR "Fact"."Activation" between '01-FEB-2012' AND '29-FEB-2012')
Unfortunately when running this job it fails:
oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: oracle.apps.xdo.XDOException: java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 27002] Near <->: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012]
The error message isnt very clear, can anyone help with identifying where the problem lies in the query.
Thanks
