Bursting to etext

Question

Hi All,
I am using BIP (5.6.3) embedded in Apps (12.1.2).
I am trying to use the bursting functionality to produce an etext file. Below is my bursting control file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi">
<xapi:request select="/">
<xapi:delivery>
<xapi:filesystem output="/usr/tmp" id="dd"/>
</xapi:delivery>
<xapi:document output="test" output-type="etext" delivery="dd">
<xapi:template type="etext" location="xdo://XX.XXARXAPFRM.en.00/?getSource=true">
</xapi:template>
</xapi:document>
</xapi:request>
</xapi:requestset>
Pretty basic!! When I run the bursting job in the Apps I get the following error in the log file for the bursting job:
XML/BI Publisher Version : 5.6.3

Can anyone confirm if bursting using a template type of etext and/or the output-type of etext is supported? I have tried various combinations of valid types some of which do not give the error but do not produce output. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I'm not an expert (I am about to work on this same requirement), so anyone else please feel free to reply.
This post confirms that etext is a supported bursting option: Re: My XSL template runs fine from concurrent manager, but fails while bursting
I noticed your document type was "etext". According to the user guide, I the valid values are pdf, rtf, html, excel, and text. Changing this one line might make all the difference:
<xapi:document output="test" output-type="text" delivery="dd">
Also, your filesystem output is missing the filename. I know the user guide only says to define the directory path here, but all the examples include the filename.
You might also want to make use of the xdodebug.cfg file to turn on statement level logging to get more details.
xdodebug.cfg should be put in your jre/lib dir. Find out which one by looking at the "java.home" property listed in your OPP manager log.
The contents of the file should be the following two lines:
LogLevel=STATEMENT
LogDir=/usr/tmp
Please post your new control file if you get it working.
