Difference between XML Publisher and Other tools like Aventx

Hi,
Please bear with my newbie question. From all the XMLP documentation that I have read, it seems like XMLP is the tool that I would need to distribute my ERP information either through print/fax/email etc. However, I have also been hearing about tools like Aventx which is a layer above XMLP and helps in delivering documents through fax/email etc.
What basically is the difference between XMLP and these other tools? Can I not just have XMLP sitting on top of my ERP and have my documents delivered without investing in these other 3rd party tools?
Thanks,
itzmey

Hi Itzmey
THe short answer is yes you could avoid the 3rd parties but, there is always a but. XMLP with extract the data, format the data and generate the ouput all completely integrated with the rest of the Apps techstack. However for the delivery you are going to have to write some custom code to get the documents out of the system i.e. we have not integrated the delivery of docs with the conc manager yet ... no I dont have a timeline at the moment. I wrote a series of articles on the blog about delivering from EBS http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher. Its not that tough but its a custom solution.
AventX and others fill that gap we have admirably. Yes, its a thrid party solution but its a very well thought out and integrated solution that they will support you on, etc.
So its up to you, custom or third party.

    Dear Members,

    1/ What is the difference between XML Publisher and BI Publisher.
    2/ Can I use BI Publisher with Oracle Applications V 11.5.10.2? If YES what I need to do to use BI Publisher?
    Your inputs will be of great help to me.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool,  a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you - Just what I needed

  • Difference between BI publisher and XML Publisher(EBS)

    I have created some reports in BI Publisher and integrated in dashboards.
    Now can i embed the same reports in E Business suite as concurrent programs. Is BI Publisher desktop is specific to Business intellgence or can we use it for E Business suite.
    If BI Publisher is same as XML Publisher. I will get both xml source and template in BIP itself. How can we integrate BIP report with concurrent program.
    I am a bit confused, excuse me if i am silly.

    BI Publisher is same as XML Publisher. ==>. It got renamed.
    In E Business suite, we can use BI publisher.
    BI Publisher desktop is just to create layout from desktop.
    if you want to register a same report in E Business suite as concurrent programs,
    then there are different method,
    1. use datatemplate
    2. use rdf
    3. pl/sql
    4. java
    and go through the doc's..

  • Difference between HR workflows and other module workflows

    Hi,
    I would like to know the major differences between HR related WF and that of other modules.
    Please lemme know.
    himanshu.

    Hi,
    There is not really any difference. Both use the same Business Workflow engine/framework. The actual difference comes from the business content itself. For example in HR you need to be familiar with the infotypes & org. structure etc., and if you know them and you know WF development in general, you should not have too much difficulties developing HR workflows.
    Your question is a bit like what is the difference between ABAP and HR ABAP. Well, they are not different, BUT there are some tricks, techniques and knowledge that you should have if you want to be a good HR ABAP developer.

  • Difference between client 800 and other client

    Dear Gurus,
    I have one more query one of my friend asked me is it possible to configure the client business process in client 800 in real time what makes the difference the client 800 from other client, i said 800 client is open client others are configured based on client bpp, but so we can configure the same process in 800 also so iam not confident in answering at that time, so looking for your input.
    Regards,
    Arun.

    Hi,
    Client 800 normally refer to IDES server. There is no hard rule that the client server numbering should be like this only.
    In general Client will be named as
    IDES is for training only.
    Development Client - Sand Box (for testing) which is can eb used for configuration has well as data testing. 
    Golden Client - Which will have only configuration setting and No Data.
    Quality Server   - Pre-produciton server, which will carry the copy of  Production Server.( configuraiton + data)
    Production Server - This is live server in which we do all day to day transctions.
    Note : All transportation request created in developement (ABAP - Work Bench) or Configuation done in Golden client will be move first to quality server, tested and then only it will be moved to production client. 
    Hope it is clear.

  • Difference between a brush and a tool preset

    Hi folks,
    I know this is a rookie question, so please bear with me.
    A friend just sent me a .tpl fiile, and I put it into my tool preset folder.  It is a fantastic brush/pencil.  My question is:  the .tpl file, when I loaded it, seemed to have a brush texture associated with it already.  Is that true?  Or were the tool presets simply being added to a standard brush?  If that is true, when I select the preset from the tool preset dropdown on the tool bar, how do I know what brush that preset is applied to?
    In short, I guess I don't understand how a preset can be applied to a brush that isn't in my current brush set.
    Thanks for any help!
    dppc

    It would appear a Tool Preset can contain a Brush tip without it being represented in the Brush Presets Panel.
    Just look at the size of a single Tool Preset saved out compared to the Brush Preset of the same Brush Preset saved out.

  • What's the biggest difference between Premiere Pro and other options?

    Thanks!

    "Other options" ... as in NLE's? You're not very specific there ... so all I can do is note that all other video processing programs are designed to realistically do one part of the task, with the need to pass-off to different programs typically by different makers to do the Whole Job. Adobe's pro video programs are designed to work together, and do so pretty well in all. PrPro for editing your footage into a viewable form/timeline, AfterEffects for any specific needs for Fx work, SpeedGrade for colorist/grading work (making it pretty or day-to-night or whatnot) and Audition for cleaning up, augmenting, or building your audio, then to Adobe Media Encoder for outputting to all sorts of codecs/formats for final use.

  • Difference between R/3 and CRM systems

    Hi,
    I want to know difference between R/3 and other systems like CRM, SCM. Shall we need XI to integrate them..
    I think that CRM,SCM are the modules of R/3 is correct..
    What kind of applications they are...
    Thanks,
    RamuV

    Hi Ramu,
    As you said they are R3 Applications only.
    can be connected with the help of XI.
    CRM uses BDOCs but XI can only deal with IDOCs. So when you will be working with BDOCs of CRM, then in CRM you will have to create custom IDOCs for the corresponding BDOCs and then you can have File-IDOC and IDOC-file scenarios working via XI to communicate between your CRM server.

  • Details and Differences between XML and AML

    Hi,
    I would like to know the differences between XML and AML. Also, basics and overview of AML, what is it? and when it is used?
    Please suggest some good links.
    Let me know if am posting to the wrong forum group.
    Thank You.
    Regards//.

    This "AML" thing... it isn't acute myelogenous leukemia or Applied Microengineering Ltd or The Association for Media Literacy or The Association of Muslim Lawyers or Alaska Marine Lines, right? That's what my Google search came up with. Nothing XML-related.
    Care to provide some more information?

  • Any basic differences between AT&T and Verizon, & other questions

    I am thinking of buying an iPad mini with retina display (32gb). This would most likely be the only iPad I would ever own. I would use it mostly at the house with wifi, but would like to have one with cellular for when we travel in the US and Canada, and for when the electricity goes out. We currently live in a location where both AT&T and Verizon are viable options, but sometime in the next year we hope to move. The state is rural and mountainous, so as we drive around, my spouse's iPhone (with an AT&T plan) often loses service, but so does my Jitterbug phone, which is not tied to any one carrier (as far as I know). A phone can get a signal in one locaton, but then lose it a few feet down the road. So, there is no way I can choose between AT&T or Verizon based on coverage because both are options right now and there is no way to predict which one(s), if any, might provide service to wherever we end up moving to. Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any basic differences between AT&T and Verizon (or any other of the possible carriers) in what they offer or how they work or what they charge and so on that can help me decide which one to choose since it is my understanding that once I pick one of them for an iPad, that decision can never be changed without purchasing a new device. (e.g., I had read somewhere that Verizon does not allow for voice and data at the same time, but since an iPad is not a phone, is that even an issue?) Also, will the iPad work if there is only regular 4G or 3G service? And will a cellular iPad work without signing up for a data plan since I expect to start with only wifi and then add a data plan later? Thank you.

    Alfred DeRose, Thank you for answering the second and third questions. Judging by what you wrote, I am assuming there are no differences between what AT&T and Verizon offer that affects iPads, other than looking at coverage area and the cost of "pay as you go" plans. And, as noted, coverage is not something I can base a decision on at this time. So, I either flip a coin to choose between AT&T and Verizon and hope the result is the right one after we move to wherever we end up finding a place to live, or I continue to wait for another year or more until we actually find a new house before I buy an iPad (or maybe a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"to save money, but I think I've probably settled on an iPad mini retina 7.9" despite its smaller screen). That does not move me along the decision-making process at all, but it is what it is.
    Greatcall has not answered my question about what carrier(s) the Jitterbug Plus phone uses. If, in fact, it uses just the Verizon network, I will try to pay better attention to any possible differences in service areas between that phone and my spouse's iPhone as we travel around the state to see if that helps at all. But coverage is so location specific here that I don't think it will.
