Can XML Publisher 5.6.3(EBS) be integrated with APEX?

On the following document, XMP Publisher 5.6.2 does not support integration with APEX. May I know about 5.6.3? Or is it about the product being an add-on with EBS causing the non-support to integration(meaning, even 5.6.3 is not supported)?

Thanks,

APEX integrates with the standalone version of BI Publisher. There was not a server component with the standalone 5.6.3 release. The integration relies on publisher providing a servlet for APEX to communicate with, 5.6.3 does not have this.
If you are talking 5.6.3 under EBS then I guess you could build a servlet on the mid tier that called the BIP conversion APIs - it would all be custom work.
The APEX integration needs 10.1.3.2 BIP to work with out of the box.

  • Can XML Publisher add a digital certificate (cert.pfx) via the xdo.cfg file or do I need to upgrade and use BI Publisher instead?

    Hi Guys
    I need to add a digital certificate to a clients customer statements and invoices. XML Publisher 5.6.3 has been used originally to design the templates as RTF. I have the following questions please...
    1. Can an RTF template be used or do I need to convert it to a pdf template?
    2. Can XML publisher even be used or do I need to get the DBAs to install BI Publisher. XML Publisher doesn't even have the signature properties in the admin screens that BI Publisher has.
    Below is a copy of the xdo.cfg file which currently does not add the pfx file...

  • Can XML publisher hold data source

    Hi XML guru's,
    I understand that, XML publisher holds templates. Which are used to create XML reports.
    Could anyone let me know, whether XML server can able to hold data source like stored procedures etc.
    So it can fetch data with in the XML publisher and generate a report accordingly.

  • EBS Security Integration with BI Publisher

    Hi All,
    I have few questions regarding integration of EBS Security with BIP. I went through the following document Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
    and have following questions.
    -- Upon on logging on into BIP after integration with EBS should I assign the three roles of BI i.e. BI Administrator, BI Author and BI Conusmer to all EBS roles for catalog permission set up.
    Below is my requirement. EBS user logging into BIP
    a) Set of Users should have to build reports , publish on dashboard etc.
    b)Set of users need only view reports i.e. read only.
    c) One User should have Admin privileges.
    How do I associated above with EBS roles. Should I assign BI roles to EBS roles in EM and give catalog permissions? Any thoughts will be really appreciated.
    Thanks
    SYK

    have you got a response for this? We are having the same issue after following everything as well.

  • Session keep Alive when EBS is integrated with OIF acting as SP

    We have an E-Business Suite R12(12.1.3) Application which is integrated with Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5. For authentication the Oracle Access Manager delegates the authentication request to Oracle Identity Federation acting as a Service Provider (SP). There is a home-grown SSO which acts as the Identity provider by Federating it with OIF using SAML 2.0 protocol.
    The integration is successful and EBS is able to authenticate using this third party SSO.
    Now there are multiple applications which are integrated with this third party SSO and the user can access any of these applications including EBS.
    Considering a scenario where a user is using EBS Application say for more than 30 mins. Now when he tries to login to another application the challenge screen is thrown though he can continue to work on EBS without any issue. The reason being that the session timeout on the IDP side is set to 30 mins.
    To overcome this issue the solution that has been thought of using a javascript for each page load on the application which will update the SSO token with the latest UTC time on the IDP server. This has been successfully done for all other applications except EBS.
    So my question is how we can call this java script for each page load for EBS?
    Thanks & Regards

    It appears that OAM is removing the url parameters for the p_done_url sent to it by OIF.
         302 Redirect to -> Location: https://sso.mycompany.com/oam/server/logout?p_done_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.mycompany.com%2Ffed%2Fuser%2Fsloosso%3Fid%3Dosso%26type%3D3&invokeOSFSLogout=false
         Result: 200. Set-Cookie OAM-ID to expired.
    Form Submits: https://sso.mycompany.com/fed/user/sloosso
    Result: 500 Error
    Notice the p_done_url value in the redirect has extra parameters which when the Form is submitted are lost.
    If I manually enter the url: https://sso.mycompany.com/fed/user/sloosso?id=osso&type=3&invokeOSFSLogout=false
    Then I am successfully logged out.
    This seems almost like a bug in OAM...

  • Can XML publisher

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where I have to convert the Word document stored in the BLOB column to be converted to PDF output. Can this conversion be done with BI publisher. can you provide documents for reference.
    Regards,
    Jay.

    Hi Jay,
    I haven't tried this myself, but this may work....In the RTF Template declare the following:
    <fo:instream-foreign-object content type="application/msword">
    <xsl:value-of select="WORD_DOCUMENT"/>
    </fo:instream-foreign-object>Where:
    WORD_DOCUMENT is the XML tag for your BLOB element.
    The Oracle doco says it will only work with Images, but since a word document is a MIME type then it may just be ok.
    Kind Regards

  • Xml publisher pdf layout in ebs is incorrect

    Hi,
    I am doing a pdf report for a pre-printed layout.
    My layout has to be exact for all pages.
    i have a grouping on top of my layout..
    when runing it in ebs the first page on top has less space , and the other pages has more space on top of the page.
    but the 2nd, 3rd, etc... has the exact layout
    can it be the G (grouping) on top of my page that is causing this problem?
    and how would i solve this??

    Can someone on Apps 11.5.10.2 who has applied the patch (I believe it upgrades the server version to 5.6.3) check and see if the behavior I described is the same on their system?
    Or can someone tell me if this is expected?
    Thanks again.

  • Can I publish a web page from my Mac with something more sophisticated than I-Web for my business?

    I want to construct a web page for my business. I-Web seems to be less sophisticated.  I wanted to use SiteBuilder by Yahoo, but Mac is not compatable. I have looked and have not found much, and that suggests that there are no tools to publish a web page other than I-Web.

    I don't use any of the free editors but a Google search resulted in several being available. Since they are free you could try them and stick with the one that best works for you.http://webdesign.about.com/od/macintoshhtmleditors/tp/free-macintosh-editors.htm

  • 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
    Kay

    Hi 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
    Kay

  • 11i EBS XML Publisher Report with Multiple Data Source

    I need to create XML Publisher report in 11i EBS pulling data from another 10.7 EBS Instance as well as 11i EBS in single report.
    I am not allowed to create extract or use db links.
    My problem is how to create Data Source Connection using Java Concurrent Program.
    The approach I am trying is
    1. create Java concurrent program to establish connection to 10.7 instance.
    2. Will write the SQL queries in Data Tempalete with 2 Data Source 1 for 11i EBS and 2 for 10.7 EBS
    3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
    Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
    thanks

    option1:
    The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
    @runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
    Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
    advantage , only one report.
    option2:
    create two separate reports summary and details
    and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
    Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
    Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

  • Scratch 22: Creating XML Publisher report from scratch in eBS

    Problem:
    How to build a XML Publisher (XMLP) report in eBS from scratch. Thus NOT adapting or converting an existing report.
    Context:
    I have an eBS R12 Vision instance up and running where I want to learn building XMLP reports.
    This is what all tutorials I can find tell me to do:
    Most reports apparently consist of a layout template e.g. TEST.rtf and a data template e.g. TEST.xml. Now in order to generate a new report layout I am supposed to take existing output in XML format and (using ‘Load Data’ function in Template Builder plugin in Word) specify in my layout template where and how I want the actual data to pop up. So far so good.
    But now I want to build the data template from scratch and use it combined with a layout template. So I build the data template but can’t use that for building the layout template. For that I need output, for which I need a layout template.....
    Sounds like Catch 22 to me. How do I break this?
    1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
    2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
    3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
    Oh yes, dunno the first thing about Java and do not have My Oracle Support..

    1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
    create data definition with your data template-> create concurrent -> output as xml -> run -> view output and your xml
    I thought the XDODTEXE engine would pick up the (Layout) Template through concurrent program definition CPD short name which in turn points to the Data Definition (and thus Data Template). So does your answer mean I can call straight from CPD to Data Definition? I tried registering my Data Template in the Template Tab but it will not take XML as a type.2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
    if you want to use xml publisher desktop then you need xml (with data, not definition)
    So that's not an option I understand. Weird cuz I'd expect this to be technically easier.btw you can create your layout (rtf) without xml (data) and without data template (xml with select statement)
    create filed and past tag definition
    Yes but in that case I'd have an empty report. How would that help me?bouble click on filed:
    "Text Form Field Options" -> "Add Help Text ..." -> "Status Bar" (tab) -> "Type your own:"
    if you use bi publisher desktop plugin
    bouble click on filed:
    "BI Publisher Properties" -> "Advanced" -> "Code"
    or switch to Word Properties
    "BI Publisher Properties" -> "Word Properties" and use above path
    3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
    may be ;)

  • JDeveloper and XML Publisher with EBS ?

    Hi All,
    Can anyone clarify my doubts ?
    I am new to Java and i have some experience in XMLP, but i saw in the User guide the Java API's, how to and where to run those API's.
    And is JDeveloper used with XMLP to run Java API's ?, if yes can u pls explain how to start working on that and what is the relation between JDeveloper and XML Publisher in EBS.
    I really appriciate your early reply.
    Thanks in advance.

    XML Publisher ships with 2 XDK parsers a 9i version for backward compatibility and 10g version - you can switch at runtim using the properties. However, you have to make sure that the XML Publisher versions of the libraries are used and not the ones coming with i.e. jdeveloper version or oc4j version that you are using. You should use the version shipped with XML Publisher, because these versions are thoroughly tested with XML Publisher.
    See the deployment notes in the install document:
    Oracle OC4J Deployment Notes
    The version of the XML Parser shipped with Oracle OC4J is incompatible with XML Publisher. When you create an XML Publisher application for OC4J you need to configure the system to use the XML Publisher version of the XML Parser. This can be accomplished by setting an orion-web.xml configuration file with the following content:
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
    <orion-web-app>
    <web-app-class-loader search-local-classes-first="true" />
    </orion-web-app>

    Correct - this is for a standalone install of BI Publisher and not applicable to EBS.
    2. as default xml publisher is active in ebs and we can use this for our report, is it true?
    Yes - you can use BI Publisher to create reports out of EBS base tables. If you are wanting to create reports out of any custom tables or remote custom databases, pl contact your Oracle salesperson for licensing issues.
    3. i think xml publisher in EBS give us only xml file and we should use Xml Publisher Desktop to see our reports (With xml file source), is it true?
    BI Publisher Desktop is a development tool to design the layout of the reports. EBS includes seeded xml templates as well as design templates. When XML reports are run, these two templates are automatically used to produce the desired output.
