Calling a BI Publisher Report in EBS 11.5.10.2
I have created a custom BI Publisher report in OBIEE 10.1.3.4. This was developed on my desktop. Now i want to implement this report in EBS 11.5.10.2 application. What are my options. Also I think i need to install an OBIEE Server in an environment that EBS can access, right? Appreciate your inputs as I am working on a customer PoC.
Where is the OBIEE getting its data?
From EBS Apps Database.
I do not believe you will ever be adding in OBIEE to EBS. You can create the report template outside of EBS and then publish it within EBS (assuming the format is valid, etc.).
Yes the Custom Report is Built with a Custom RTF Template. Now how do I get to this BIP report to be called from EBS

Calling a xml publisher report from Ebs - question
Hi,
I know how to call a xml report from ebs using concurrent manager. But i want to open it from a form in application.
My situation is this:
There is a form in the payables modelue, where i search for all the invoices.
There is also a button action in this form wich take the id of the row in wich it is my position and open a rtf raport with this id.
What i need to do is to call my xml report in this button . To pass my raport the id of the row in wich i am and open my report with paramateres.
Can this be done? Has anyone tried this before?
Thanks in advance,
Best regardsHi,
You can use FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST for submitting the report. The syntax is as follows:
function FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST
(application IN varchar2 default NULL,
program IN varchar2 default NULL,
description IN varchar2 default NULL,
start_time IN varchar2 default NULL,
sub_request IN boolean default FALSE
argument1,
argument2, ..., argument99,
argument100) return number;
Here is the code that I used for submitting XML Report Publisher from within my Oracle Report's AfterReport trigger. The parameters are explained.
a:=FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO', 'XDOREPPB','Varun XML Report Printing', NULL, FALSE, :P_CONC_REQUEST_ID , 'MYONT','MY_PREPACK_XML','en-US' ,'N', 'RTF', :p_output_format,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL );
srw.message(123,'Value of New Request : ' || a ||' Output Format :'||:p_output_format);
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Calling A BI Publisher Report From A Link In An Apex Report
I have a report on my page
select id, aa, bb
from table_x
What I want to do is to have an extra column or use the id column as a link (which says Print Report) to call an BI Publisher report. This call should pass over the id and open the report in a popup window.
For certain reasons I do not want to use the built in report queries and layouts in apex, just call the report straight for BI.
I call other BI reports in my application, but always from a button.
Help appreciated
GusHi,
All that such a button does is submit the page and branch to page zero passing in the request field something like this:
PRINT_REPORT=my_report
So, to do the same in a dynamic action, use an "execute javascript code" action with something like this in it:
location.href = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=my_report';

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report
Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
KayHi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards

How to call the XML Publisher Report thro Standard PO Output for Comm.
Hi
We need to call our custom report(XML Publisher Report) from the standard PO Output for Communication Report.
There is a parameter(Purchase Order Layout) in PO Output for Communication in which we can see no. of standard reports. We want to add our custom report in that list so that when we will run this standard report by selecting our custom report for Purchase Order Layout parameter, we should get the output as per our Custom report.
Since PO Output for Communication is a Java Concurrent Program, we are not able to place our custom report in the list of Purchase Order layout Parameter.
RamWelcome to the forums !
Pl see if MOS Doc 305307.1 (How To Modify Print PO Report POXPOPDF With Custom Template) can help

Custom XML Publisher Reports in EBS 11.5.10.2 Fails Randomly
Hi Experts,
I have a Custom XML PUblisher Report Concurrent Program in EBS 11.5.10.2.
The Report fails randomly with a Warning. I get the following error,
[11/21/08 12:17:21 PM] [UNEXPECTED] [915997:RT3085490] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /u01/PROD/prodcomn/admin/out/PROD_irl-dub-finmdt-01/o3085490.out (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)

at oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.XMLPublisherProcessor.process(XMLPublisherProcessor.java:229)
at oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.OPPRequestThread.run(OPPRequestThread.java:153)
As you can the OPP fails to find the o3085490.out file in the $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT directory and actually the file is not there in the unix box on that location.
If the same report is submitted again it Works fine, But not at all times.. some of them fails with the above error message.
Any pointers to solve this one.
RegardsHi,
We are on Multi-node set up with two middle-tiers with a load balancing option Yes.
The XML Publisher Version is 5.6.0. Is it required to move to 5.6.3 ?
Please find a detailed explaination of the issue.
Issue
XML Publisher Reports Fails Randomly in Production
Detailed Explaination
XML Publisher Reports submitted in Production completes with Warning. You can say 1 out of 4 requests submitted in a sequence will fail.
The Log message of the COncurent Program is something like this,
------------- 1) PUBLISH -------------
Beginning post-processing of request 3091786 on node IRL-DUB-FINMDT-01 at 23-NOV-2008 15:36:58.
Post-processing of request 3091786 failed at 23-NOV-2008 15:36:58 with the error message:
One or more post-processing actions failed. Consult the OPP service log for details.
Checking the Output Post Processor Log gives the following message
[11/23/08 6:25:01 PM] [UNEXPECTED] [925353:RT3092523] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /u01/PROD/prodcomn/admin/out/PROD_irl-dub-finmdt-01/o3092523.out (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)

at oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.XMLPublisherProcessor.process(XMLPublisherProcessor.java:229)
at oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.OPPRequestThread.run(OPPRequestThread.java:153)
Its evident from the message the output file for the request is not generated.
Some Findings to pass on to Version 1
1. Report in not picked up for execution in this case as even the first statement is not executed and there is no oracle session and os process asscociated with it.
I enabled trace and the trace was generated only for the successful ones and it was never generated for the ones completed with warning.
2. The below query gives no values for the failed concurrent request, where as all successful ones have valid values.
SELECT oracle_process_id,oracle_session_id,os_process_id
FROM fnd_concurrent_requests
WHERE request_id = 3091786

Call a BI Publisher Report URL with parameters
Is it possible to call a BI Publisher URL from a form but pass the parameters along so the report can run with the user having to fill any parameters in? If so, how do you pass the parameters in the URL? We are trying to do some Proof of Concept work on a new project and would like to introduce BI Publisher into the mix instead of using Oracle Reports.

Calling a XML Publisher report from FND_SUBMIT_REQUEST
Hi,
I need to submit a XMLP report from FND_SUBMIT_REQUEST.
The report will have say, 4 templates for 4 seperate languages.
Now, when i call the report from submit request, i need to give the name of a template that will get attached.
Does anybody have any idea which parameter in the submit request parameter list takes the name of a template?
Please let me know if anybody has any info on this.
Can mail me at [email protected]
Regards,
SatrajitHi,
You can use FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST for submitting the report. The syntax is as follows:
function FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST
(application IN varchar2 default NULL,
program IN varchar2 default NULL,
description IN varchar2 default NULL,
start_time IN varchar2 default NULL,

XML Publisher report in EBS - Parameter Form Problem
Hi,
XML Publisher is a very powerful tool for report developing.
In EBS, we have some efficient issue for showing the parameter form when submit a concurrent program.
If the report is D2K Report or PL/SQL script, when submit a request, it almost shows the parameter form immediately after entering the name of the concurrent program.
But if the report output is XML and generate report using XML Publisher, it takes about 1 minutes to show the parameter form.
Is there any setting should be tuning in our environment or some patches should be applied??
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Zhxiang.Hi All,
Is there any suggestion, for the issue that t takes long time to show the parameter form?
Thanks in advance,

Calling a BI Publisher report from a dynamic action
Greetings,
I am working with Apex 4.1.0. I have created a BI Publisher query and layout and defined them in the Shared Components for my application. I also created a button defined as 'Download Printable Report Query'. When I press the button, everything works as expected. The page variable is passed to the report and the report prints as it should.
My question is, can I run this report using a Dynamic Action instead of a button?
Thanks
LarryHi,
All that such a button does is submit the page and branch to page zero passing in the request field something like this:
PRINT_REPORT=my_report
So, to do the same in a dynamic action, use an "execute javascript code" action with something like this in it:
location.href = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=my_report';

I call a bi publisher report from an apex button using:
javascript:popupURL('&BI_URL.Guest/MERCURY/CUSTOMS/REJECTS/MER_REJECTS_MISC/MER_REJECTS_MISC.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=0&_xdo=%2FGuest%2FMERCURY%2FCUSTOMS%2FREJECTS%2FMER_REJECTS_MISC%2FMER_REJECTS_MISC.xdo&P_REJECT_ID=&P59_REJECT_ID.&_xt=MER_REJECTS_MISC&_xf=rtf&_xmode=4');
{CODE}
The report opens but there is no standard toolbar, ie, cannot print or save. Do I need to specify something in the url.
If I open this as a pdf then the print, save options are there
GusI changed the url and have managed to get the report to open in Word properly, ie, with toolbar.
javascript:popupURL('&BI_URL.Guest/MERCURY/CUSTOMS/REJECTS/MER_REJECTS_MISC/MER_REJECTS_MISC.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&_xdo=%2FGuest%2FMERCURY%2FCUSTOMS%2FREJECTS%2FMER_REJECTS_MISC%2FMER_REJECTS_MISC.xdo&P_REJECT_ID=&P59_REJECT_ID.&_xt=MER_REJECTS_MISC&_xf=rtf');I changed the xpt=0 to xpt=1 and deleted anything after the _xf=rtf'.
This now opens in word correctly, but also opens an extra blank window. I have had this problem before and thought I had solved it by using the aboce codel.
Does anybody know how to stop the generation of the blank window
Cheers

Can we use xml Publisher reporting for sql* Plus in EBS
Hello All,
The current report is designed in Sql* Plus Executable report and the output is in txt format, Now the requirement is to have the output in Excel format.
So is it possible to use the xml reporting and make the output as Excel from the word template we design from MSword as we do for rdf(I have done few reports created in rdf to xml publisher reports in EBS and stand alone as well.).
Do the same procedure will suit for Sql*Plus reports tooo or Is there any work around to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Balaji.Hi
Thanks for the reply..
I tried to do the follwoing
1. changed the output to xml in the conc. prog.
2. ran the same report but i am getting the follwoing error in the output file
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource
Other reports which are using the Oracle Reports(rdf) as source, i am able to generated the xml as expected....
So my question is whether we can use sql* reports executable and generate xml in the conc.prog.
if any one has used the sql*reports for xml publisher reporting... please let me know, so that if its possible i will check my sql needs some validation or tuning...
thanks in advance

XML Publisher Report Output from OAF Page
Hi,
I created a button in a OAF page, and called the XML publisher Report program on click of this button. The concurrent request was ran when check from View Requests. When I click on viewout, the pdf document was open with the option, open, save, cancel. But this is not coming up in the OAF page. when debugged the code, the url is null.
Please see the below code.
OADBTransactionImpl oadbtransactionimpl = (OADBTransactionImpl)paramOAPageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction();
String s1 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
System.out.println("s1 = " + s1);
String s2 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
System.out.println("s2 = " + s2);
String s3 = "BEGIN :1 := fnd_webfile.get_url(fnd_webfile.request_out, :2, :3, :4, 2); end;";
CallableStatement callablestatement = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean).getOADBTransaction().createCallableStatement(s3, 1);
System.out.println("s3 = " + s3);
if(requestId != 0)
try
Number number = new Number(requestId);
callablestatement.registerOutParameter(1, 12);
callablestatement.setInt(2, number.intValue());
callablestatement.setString(3, s2);
callablestatement.setString(4, s1);
callablestatement.execute();
String s4 = callablestatement.getString(1);
System.out.println("Before S4 if statement");
if(s4 == null || s4.equals(""))
// throw new RuntimeException();
System.out.println("URL is null");
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
// throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
oadbtransactionimpl.putValue("OutputURL", s4);
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
}Look at the links AJ gave.
Basically what you will do is create a Data Definition and assign a Data Template to it. Create a (document) Template and assign it to your data definition. You will use the XML Publisher Java API classes to pass parameters to your data template and extract the XML data. Then you will use this in conjunction with your document template and the OAF integration region to present the final output to the user.
All of these things are in the XML Publisher documentation and Javadocs. -
