Can we schedule BI publisher report through pl/sql?

Hi,
If any new user is created and given "schedule report" privilege,
instead of logging to bipublisher portal with the user's id and scheduling individual report I want to have a pl/sql package which when fired, if finds any new user should run those reports and save output for the user.
For these I should call the bipublisher report in pl/sql through scheduler schema, set parameter values, provide run_interval, output_format etc.
Please let me know if this is possible and also give example code.
This is urgent requirement. Please reply ASAP.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi,
am also having same requriment, if u did plz guide me.
Thanks.

How i can ristrict my BI Publisher report in Dashboards.

Dear All,
How i can ristrict my BI Publisher report in Dashboards.
I have different branches in my report .
I have to send my report split by branches and have to give security to that branch user.
Is it posible in BIP or i have to do in Data Base Level.
I need more information on dashboards
Regards
Subbu..

Hi Subbu,
Apology for delay in reading your post.
Your needs and their solution are,
'split by branches ' - use bursting capability of BI Publisher
'have to give security to that branch user' - make out the report in specific folder and dashboard in BI Dashboard. Then give role based and grouped access to users to this Dashboard. For this navigate in BI Application to Settings > Admin > Manage Presentation Catalog. here you can setup dashboard specific security.
Cheers

XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL

Hi
Like to know how to develop the XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL, i did the following
1. created a pkg like as below
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.TEST_XMLTAG_PKG AS
PROCEDURE main (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2,
retcode OUT NUMBER
) IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
ctx DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
xml CLOB;
BEGIN
ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
dbms_output.put_line(xml);
Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
END;
END;
END TEST_XMLTAG_PKG;
this pkg produces the output with xml tag in the view log.
I have registered the conc program & xml rtf but it does not produce the output in PDF, , I am not able to get the xml tag when i click the Diagnostics --> View XML.
can you please let me know the next steps involved.
Regards
Yram

I think the problem is because there is no begin and end tag. save the xml from the logfile and open with xml editor or IE.. then you will see the problem.
add Begin and end tag...then you should be fine.. i.e
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<EMP_DATA>'); -- begin Tag
tx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
dbms_output.put_line(xml);
Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'</EMP_DATA>'); -- End Tag
Hope this helps..>Good Luck

Invoking XML Publisher Report from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have a PL/SQL procecedure which invokes the Concurrent Request for the XML Publisher Report. This one finishes with a warning and I get 'Unable to publish output' when I try to view the output. Exact Error: "Unable to find the published output for this request "
But if I run the same report using Concurrent program, the Report executes with no error. Also the desired output is coming. I am not sure where I am doing wrong in code.
My code which invokes the XML Publisher Report (from PL/SQL package)is something like this:
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout (template_appl_name => 'XXTMG', template_code => 'XXT_5001_BOL_T', template_language => 'EN', template_territory => 'US', output_format => 'XML');
l_no_of_copies := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_NO_OF_COPIES');
l_printername := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_PRINTER');
l_print_style := NULL; --For setting the Printer Options
l_result := fnd_request.set_print_options (l_printername, l_print_style, l_no_of_copies, TRUE, 'N');
l_result := fnd_request.add_printer (l_printername, 0);
y := fnd_request.submit_request ('XXTMG', 'XXT_5001_BOL', '', TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'), FALSE, 'CH-120079') ;
end;
Please let me know where I might be going wrong
Thanks

Hi Sumit,
You can try with this code:
exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(org_id)
exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id,resp_id,appl_id);
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout ('XXTMG' --template_appl_name
          ,'XXT_5001_BOL_T' --template_code
          ,'en' --template_language
     ,'US' --template_territory
     ,'XML' --output_format
if (x=TRUE) then
y := fnd_request.submit_request (
                    'XXTMG'           --application
                    ,'XXT_5001_BOL'      --program
                    ,SYSDATE          --start_time
                    ,FALSE               --sub_request
                    ,'CH-120079'          --argument1 (Program's Parameter)
if y>0 then
          dbms_output.put_line('Request ID '||y);
end if;
end if; --if (x=TRUE) then
end;
Make sure that program has only one input parameter. If program has other parameters then you can pass those parameters like argument1, argument2... etc.
Now you can see this submited request in your application using your user id. If you able to see your request in concurrent request then you can add printer parameters in this programs.
You don't need to pass all 100 parameters.
I am executing many programs/reports using this code.
Thanks

Can we schedule FSG thru Report Manager?

Hi all,
I am trying to schedule an FSG that is currently being published using Report Manager. So it has a repository location defined and a item link set up for quick view of the report. There are several content sets that are used to run the report. Currently the report is being manually published every month. Is it possible to schedule the FSG to run automatically every month at specified date and time?
Also is it possible to schedule or trigger the FSG publishing as soon as the GL period is closed?
Thanks
Sunil

Please see these docs.

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
Balaji.

XML Publisher reports through OAF in R12

Every time I submit a concurrent request I am unable to put a layout and thus no report is generated. If I run the report through forms there are no issues and everything works great. If I run it through OAF the layout never gets added to the request. All of the previous threads deal with versions of Oracle earlier than what I'm working with.
Here are the details when ran through OAF: http://i.imgur.com/bBYOe.png
Here are the details when ran through forms: http://i.imgur.com/1gfEt.png
Here's my current code:
This is in the AM. public int submitCPRequest() {
    try
    OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)getDBTransaction();
    java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
    ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
    String applnName = new String("UNIApps"); //Application that contains the concurrent program
    String cpName = new String("UNIA_OAF_XML_TEST"); //Concurrent program name
    String cpDesc = new String("");
    String time = new String("");
    // Pass the Arguments using vector
    Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
    // Calling the Concurrent Program
    cr.addLayout(applnName,cpName,"en","US","PDF","AMERICAN");
    //cr.addLayout(applnName,cpName,"en","US","PDF",null);
    int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName, cpDesc, time, false, cpArgs);
    tx.commit();
    return requestId;
    }catch(Exception e)
    OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
    oe.setApplicationModule(this);
    throw oe;
    }This is in the CO. public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)

    OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    if (pageContext.getParameter("report") != null)

How Can I Schedule a Deski Report in Infoview that has a VBA Macro

Hi experts,
i've made a report that has a vba Macro. I published it in infoview. If I launch it manually (clicking on the refresh button) the macro works normaly. If I schedule it the macro doesn't work.
What can I do?
Is it possible to make a program that simulate the opening and click on the refresh button?
Or i there is another solution?
Here is my Macro:
Private Sub Document_AfterRefresh()
Dim filtervar As Variant
Dim filterText, Filter As Long
Dim DocName, NewName As String
Dim Pathing, TodaysDate As String
Dim folderName As String
TodaysDate = Format(Date, "DDMMYYYY")
Pathing = "
Ktsdwh0\c$\OutputBO\"
DocName = ThisDocument.Name
filterText = "Dpre Cod Produttore"
filtervar = ThisDocument.Evaluate("=<" & filterText & ">", boUniqueValues)
For Each sepval In filtervar
    Filter = sepval
    For n = 1 To ThisDocument.Reports.Count
        Call ThisDocument.Reports(n).AddComplexFilter(filterText, "=<" & filterText & "> = " & Filter)
        ThisDocument.Reports(n).ForceCompute
    Next n
        MkDir (Pathing & Filter & "\")
        NewName = Pathing & Filter & "\" & Filter & "-" & TodaysDate & "-" & DocName   'for Prova_Prod.rep
'        NewName = Pathing & Filter & "-" & TodaysDate & "-" & DocName   'for Prova_Prod.rep
        ThisDocument.ExportAsPDF (NewName)           'to Save as PDF
Next
    For n = 1 To ThisDocument.Reports.Count
      Call ActiveReport.AddComplexFilter(filterText, "=<" & filterText & "> = <" & filterText & ">")
        ' To delete a Complex Filter, you set it equal to itself...
      ActiveReport.ForceCompute
    Next n
End Sub
Please Help!
Best regards

Hi Philippe,
If you are using Windows 2003 with SP2 then it might be the issue as already logged for BOXIR2.
You can test the issue by using only Windows 2003 without SP2.
In case your operating system is only windows 2003 then following information and code might be helpful for you to resolve the issue.
There are a number of things to check when setting up a macro to work through Infoview or scheduled. The first thing is that the macro needs to be triggered to run. This is done by putting a call to the macro in the Document_BeforeRefresh or the Document_AfterRefresh event handler.
The report server and job server are designed to process one report at a time. Through a macro it is possible to open more than one report, and do various processing with those additional reports. Since the report and job servers are not designed to process more than one report, your macro should not open an additional report.
The fact that only one report is processed at a time also affects the syntax you should use when referring to a document or report object. In the DeskI client you can use the ThisDocument object to refer to the report which is running the macro. You can also use the ActiveDocument object to refer to the report that is currently displayed. Most of the time these two objects will point to the same report. When the report server or job server process a report there would never be the possibility for a different report to be active, so the ActiveDocument object does not exist. This also applies to the ActiveReport object. Instead of using ActiveDocument your macro code should use the ThisDocument object. Instead of using the ActiveReport object you should use ThisDocument.Reports.Item(1) to refer to this first report tab in a report.
These items are the most common issues that will cause a macro not to run through Infoview or when scheduled. The best way to debug a macro which is not working in either of those places is to include code which will log the macro's progress to a file. This makes it easy to determine exactly which line of code is causing issues so that it can potentially be corrected.
