Current Concurrent Program Output permissions

Hi,
I am working on Oracle Applications 11.5.10
Is it possible to send the concurrent program output of the current running program as a mail ? Or does the output file become available for reading once the whole program completes ?
I am writing the errors encountered during the current program into the output file for the current program. At the end of the program, I am calling a shell script to send the output file in mail. However I am getting an error message saying file not found or no permission on file. So wanted to know if I am doing the right thing. Or should I call the mail notification only once the whole program completes.
I tried to search the forum, but no where its mentioned if anyone is trying to access output file of currently running program. It will be great if someone can share their knowledge.
Thanks,
Sou

How to send concurrent program output file as an attachment in the notification mail

Hi All,
We are on Oracle apps version - 11.5.10.2
We have a requirement wherein we need to send the concurrent program output file as an attachment while sending the notification mail to the user.
Currently we have tried the approach wherein we are specifying the user id in the OPTIONS tab (Notifying the following people) while submitting the concurrent program.
But using this approach, the user gets only the URL of the output file in the notification mail and not the output file as an attachment.
Kindly let us know if anyone has incorporated the logic to send the output file as attachment in the notification mail.
Please Note - We do not want any custom code to be written to send the attachment.
Any pointers to this will be helpful.

Shruti

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.

BI Publisher Charts not getting displayed in concurrent program output

Hi,
I am using BI Publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 on Windows 7 with word 2007. After creating the Bar chart in RTF template of BI publisher when I load sample XML data and check it in "Preview" is displays the output correctly.
My requirement is to print the charts in concurrent program's output on EBS version 12.1.1. (preferably HTML but PDF will also do) However when I run the concurrent program which processes the data definition and the RTF template registered for this report, the output is just an image of the chart. The XML output generated by the program is not reflected in the chart display at all. (I have verified that XML is generated properly)
Can someone please let me know if there is some setup required to make the charts display properly in concurrent program output?
I have also tried BI publisher version 10.1.3.2.1 for this. With this the concurrent program output is just blank. Not even an image is displayed.
p.s. The program uses standard executable XDODTEXE (which is normally used to run BI publisher reports)
Thanks,
Archana

Hi,
I have finally found solution to this issue....
Two setups are required to display the charts in the concurrent program's PDF output:
1. We need to edit the variables CLASSPATH and AF_CLASSPATH. These variables should have the complete path added for the xdoparser.zip file on the server.
2. The DISPLAY variable should be correctly setup to direct the server output.
Also as per my findings so far, the BI (XML) publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 (or any 11g) does not work with EBS (at least for charts). We need to use BI publisher version which is XML 5.6.3 compatible for EBS. This version is 10.1.3.2.1. (patch 12395372) Now this 10g version does not work on Windows 7 so you need to use Windows XP!
With this... finally... your charts should be getting displayed in EBS output...
Cheers!! :-)

Concurrent Program outputs gettting merged

Hi,
We are facing a strange issue in our EBS 11i instance where the output of one concurrent program is getting merged with another program output.(i.e output of financial concurrent programs get merged with HR/Payroll concurent program output and vice versa). This is not hapeening foe all the programs but only hapeens for few specific programs.
Has anyone faced this issue previously or can highlight the cause for this abnormal issue.
Regards,
Rupdipt

Is this a cloned instance? Have you reviewed the contents of the output files to verify none of those output files from the source instance?
If the above doesn't help then I would suggest logging a SR.

Oracle Concurrent Program Output

I was tried to output concurrent report into HTMlL format, but it adds the tage <font="symbol">Field</font="symbol> between my data. So the output become some weird character.
Does anyone experience similar problem?
Thanks

Basically, i create the rdf report with the following parameters:
width : 30
height: 8.5
report width: 180
report height: 66
and in the concurrent program
column: 180
row: 66
orientation: landwide
when i set the output of concurrent program to text, it squeeze the text together. And when i set the output HTML, it displays all the column properly, but change the font to symbol.

Hi ,
COncurrent prorams is for Reports ?
if so try with solution.
write a unix script. or this purpose.
Something in the order of this should work. You get the idea.
1. Define printer styles
2. Define a printer driver to call script in the arguments field:
$ZZ_TOP/bin/email.sh $PROFILES$.FILENAME
$PROFILES$.USERNAME $PROFILES$.TITLE
3. Assign printer to the print styles and the driver
4. Register the e-mail printer
5. Default your report use the e-mail printer
# Example script email.sh
#!/bin/ksh
[email protected]
mailx -s "$3" $email_addr $1
exit 0
$1 is $PROFILE$.FILENAME
$2 is $PROFILES$.USERNAME
$3 is $PROFILES$.TITLE
try with this u will get some idea.
just let me know after you done it.

How to read XML data stored in CLOB in Concurrent prog Output

Hi All,
I'm trying to Generate the XML Data as concurrent Program output. I have a PL/SQL package which generated the XML data by using SQL/XML functions. I'm storing the generated XML data in a CLOB variable. But when i try to read the data using fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.OUTPUT,XML_Data) it doesn't display data more than 32767 bytes.
Please help me out to understand what could be done to read the data in chunks. I have tried many logic's to print chunks of data but the output tags are either chopped off and errors out saying Tag not found.
My logic is as below:
v_handler:= DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(v_xml_query);
--Sets NULL handling options
DBMS_XMLGen.SetNullHandling(v_handler, dbms_xmlgen.EMPTY_TAG ) ;
--Set special character handling
DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- Specified whether to use an XML attribute to indicate NULLness of particular entity in the XML document
DBMS_XMLGen.useNullAttributeIndicator(v_handler,TRUE);
-- set Checking invalid chars
DBMS_XMLGEN.setCheckInvalidChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- get the xml data as required
v_xml_data:= DBMS_XMLGEN.getXMLtype(v_handler);
SELECT XMLROOT(v_xml_data.extract('/*'),VERSION '1.0').getClobVal() into v_new_xml_Data from dual;
-- get the length of the xml generated
v_clob_len := dbms_lob.getlength(v_new_xml_Data);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The Clob length is :'|| v_clob_len);
-- logic to process string more than 32767 Processing by each character
v_offset :=1;
while (v_offset <= v_clob_len)
LOOP
v_char := dbms_lob.substr(v_new_xml_Data, 1, v_offset);
IF (v_char = CHR(10))
then
fnd_file.new_line(fnd_file.output, 1);
else
fnd_file.put(fnd_file.output, v_char);
end if;
v_offset := v_offset + 1;
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The offset is :'|| v_offset);
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 1);
THe above logic is for character by character which is a performance burden? Please let me know if there is any other work around for this

Hi,
Thanks for Replying. I have refered http://blog.oraclecontractors.com/?p=69 and then i added that piece of code. Basically, i'm trying to generate a report using XML publisher. To generate the XML data i'm writing a pl/sql package with SQl/XML functions. DBMS_XMLGEN would help me convert the XML Data as is. When the concurrent program runs this XML data will merge with RTF layout and generate required report. I'm able to generate the Report for data less then 32767 bytes. More than the limit i need to pass chunks of XML data to read as output. That's the reason i'm using fnd_file.output. But it reads only 32767 size at a time.
WHen i use the given logic, it works perfectly fine, but it loops for each character, for example if you have 30,000 characters it loops the same, which is peformance burden.
So i tried to write the logic of chunks but still i get the error that XML tag is not found or missing. I'm hoping this is very common issue, but after all my trails, i didn't find the right solution.
the other logic i tried was :
v_new_xml_data varchar2(32767)
v_iterations := CEIL(v_clob_len/v_chunk_length); -- v_chunk_length is 32767 and v_clob_length is length of the XML data stored inthe clob variable
For i in 0..v_iterations
LOOP
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'the loops v_pos :'||i||' and v_clob_length :'||v_clob_len);
v_new_xml_data := DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR ( V_XML_DATA,v_chunk_length,(i*v_chunk_length)+1);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,v_new_xml_data); -- read the output for every 32767 chunks
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG, 'Chunk length is :'||((i*v_chunk_length)+1));
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'out of loop');
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'length of new xml is '||v_clob_len);
Please, let me know if you need Further clarifications on the same.

How to convert concurrent program out files .out file to .txt files in

Hi
Trying to know if there is a way to convert the concurrent programs' output files witn '.out' extension to files with extension '.txt'
thanks
kp

Why you want to change the file extension to txt instead of out?
I believe you cannot do and you are not supposed to change it. Controlling the report output to different types can be done as explained in these docs.
