Launching BI Publisher

Hi All,
Ours is NOT a Oracle EBS environment. We are currently using Oracle Reports and we run reports by passing the appropriate URL to the Reports Server.
We are considering using Oracle BI Publisher / Oracle XML publisher. The question we are seeking to answer before we proceed is : CAN WE LAUNCH A REPORT FROM OUR WEB APPLICATION (USER PRESSES A BUTTON). IF YES, HOW IS THIS SET UP? WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS?
Thanks so much!
Prakash

You can launch a report via a hyperlink, just as you can do with Oracle Reports. Look in the Report Designer's Guide. Start at page 4-34 in the 10.1.3.4 documentation.
Accessing Reports via a URL
This section describes how to call a BI Publisher report via a URL from another application, for example from a portal or from an Application Express application.

  • How Do I Launch a Published App via Local Workstation IE Brower

    Quick "how to" question:
    I have a published web application that needs to be launched via a local end-user workstation IE browser. I have configured the published applicaton to "Try running from client first.." This does not launch IE from the local workstation but launches IE from the server. The application will work from the IE browser on the server but the management requirement is for the local workstation IE browser to run the application. Any ideas what I am missing with my configuration of the published application?
    I was told that in order for the IE web browser to launch locally on the end-users workstation, the user must be on the LAN where the Secure Global Desktop server is located. Is this correct? This still did not work even on the LAN with this current configuration.
    The version of Secure Global Desktop we are running is version 3.1.

    In version 3.1, rather than using a "Windows Application" object, you might just want to use a "Document Object".
    http://www.tarantella.com/support/documentation/enterprise/e3.1/help/en-us/base/standard/obj_document.html
    Your web application url will need to be resolvable / reachable from the referencing client device. If you're running the native client, you can choose whether to use a client-based browser, or a server-based browser.
    As for 'iexplore', is the application located in the same place on the server and client? Have you specified the full pathname for the application, that is "\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"?

  • Video from after effects doesn't launch after publishing flash catalyst project

    I created a website in flash catalyst. I used a video that i made in after affects as the intro to the site. When I run the project in the flash catalyst everything works fine, but when I publish it for deploying to the web and run the .swf file nothing happens. Does anyone knows what can be the problem?

    Hi Kirill.
    You can't see the video because your'e running the .swf generated for Deploy-to-web folder. You have to upload the Deploy-to-web folder content to your web server and it will run fine. (same happened to me once)
    You can only see the intro video in your machine by clicking in the .swf in the Run Local folder.
    Its happen because the video you've created is not embeded in the main.swf.
    Cheers.

  • Launching XML publisher from OAF

    Hi ,
    I am trying to run an XML publisher report from an OAF page. I get the following error whenever I run the report, "An error encountered either due to invalid Template details or due to null Data Input Stream".
    The code fails at,
                 DataTemplate datatemplate = new DataTemplate(((OADBTransactionImpl)getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(), "PER", "GVS_EMP_VERIF");
    I have tried various solutions mentioned in the oracle forums threads, but non solved the issue. Could someone please suggest what could be the issue? 
    Regards,
    BM

    Hi BM,
    Use TemplateHelper.processTemplate instead of DataTemplate.
    //Generate the PDF Report.
    TemplateHelper.processTemplate(
    ((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(),APP_NAME,TEMPLATE_CODE, ((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getLanguage(), ((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getCountry(),inputStream,TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF,null,pdfFile);

  • OBIEE 11g - Fusion Middle ware control and BI Publisher not launching

    Hello
    I have successfully installed OBIEE11G but the installation has not been stable. Sometimes I find all three components 1) web logic 2) fusion middle ware control and 3) bi publisher
    whereas most of time, only weblogic console is coming up.
    When I tried to manually start the fusion middleware deployment it gives following error
    weblogic.management.DeploymentException: [J2EE:160149]Error while processing library references. Unresolved application library references, defined in weblogic-application.xml: [Extension-Name: adf.oracle.domain, Specification-Version: 1, Implementation-Version: 11.1.1.1.0, exact-match: false], [Extension-Name: oracle.webcenter.skin, exact-match: false].And how do I start bi publisher services. Currently when I launch BI Publisher I get following
    Error 404--Not Found

    Hi,
    After complete installation of obiee 11g
    step 1 :- start the listener and services manually
    step 2 :- Start BI services from all programs/Business intelligence/start bi services.This enables you to start OPMN,Node manager,BI server,Presentation server,BI Publisher server
    This is the method i do follow for starting up.If you want to individually start and stop the services go to FM EM console and BI foundation in that capacity management in that screen you can start or stop.The URL's mentioned are correct with their default port numbers.
    Hope helps you.

  • Publishing project in HTML5 - video's don't work

    Hello,
    In my e-learning project I have implemented several video's as Event Video on a slide.  These video's work perfectly as I preview my project.
    But when I publish my project the video's don't seem to load.  Some video's show nothing (black screen), others show less than 1 second.  The video's were implemented as .MP4-files and the Encoder launched when publishing.
    How can I solve this problem ?

  • OAF page with XML Publisher report

  • Captivate 4 - after patch, published projects won't pause but skip ahead

    Last week, I installed the patch to bring my version up to Version 4.0.1 Build 1658.
    After the patch was installed, if I publish a file with a Table of Contents, it runs fine the first time.  However, the second time I launch the published file, the first slide will display for a split second, and then it jumps to the first quiz question (if I have quiz questions in the project), or to the last slide I visited prior to closing the project.
    If I then turn off the TOC and republish, I can navigate around the course, close it and re-launch, and it behaves perfectly.
    I would rather use the TOC than have to manually build out the buttons.
    I did a search, but I didn't find this problem elsewhere (doesn't mean it's not there, just that I couldn't find it ).
    Any ideas about this, or should I submit a bug report?
    This is a problem for my company - we've got a lot of folks working on a major Oracle roll-out, and the TOC definitely saves on development time if we could use it.
    BTW, we tested the issue with projects that were published the week before the patch was installed.  Projects with the TOC worked properly, and projects without the TOC worked properly.  So it does NOT appear to be an issue with our environment.  This is only happening with files published after the patch was installed that use the TOC.  Yes, I've checked settings on the click boxes and buttons to make sure the pause was still configured correctly.
    Thanks,
    Tichelle

    Hi there
    Perhaps try clicking Project > Table of Contents > Settings... and ensure the check box labeled Self Paced Learning is clear?

  • BIEE and BI Publisher standalone

    Hi,
    I am new to BI, I went through OBE for BIEE and BI Publisher. I have installed BIEE (and BI publisher desktop) successfully, when I launch BI Publisher shipped with BIEE, I dont get admin tab and thus account tab in preferences. Moreover, no option to create new report etc however, I can work in Dashboard and Answers. Then I installed BI Publisher standalone, I performed this installation twice, once it was installed at 9704 port (when OC4J of BIEE was stopped) and next time at 9705 port (when OC4J service was running). With this new installation I got admin tab and was able to create report and word template etc. But with that installation I was unable to proceed with section "Creating BI Publisher Reports Based on Various Data Sources" of BI getting started OBE : http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bipub/intro/gettingstarted.htm as MS word can either connect to 9705 BI installation only. Can any one please guide me what I am missing and that should BIEE and BI Publisher standalone be installed on same PC or not, or, what else I need to do to complete that OBE.
    NOTE: I have done all installation on VMWare, I hope it has nothing to do with the problem I am facing.
    Thanks in Advance and Best Regards,
    Qamar

    There are several reasons as to why you can have the BIP Admin tab missing in your installation. This issue is very well covered in the forum so I suggest you use the forum search and read them all.

  • Bi Publisher in OAF

    Hi,
    I am trying to load develop BI publisher report in OAF. I have tried below links to do but receving 'Error(39,41): identifier DocumentHelper not found'

    http://oracle-hack.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/launching-xml-publisher-from-oa.html
    Also i have done below action. Please do let me know if any thoughts
    Transfer the xdo directory and its contents from $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps on the server to myclasses.
    After the transfer is complete, you will have a directory named <JDEV_USER_
    HOME>/myclasses/oracle/apps/xdo on your desktop. The transfer of files with
    extension “.class” must be done in binary mode. XDO is the short name of the XML
    Publisher application. $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/xdo contains the BI Publisher API
    TemplateHelper.processTemplate. This API is used for generating the output for the
    BI Publisher report.

  • ASP and BI Publisher

    Hi,
    We are migrating an Oracle Forms/ Reports over to ASP.NET and want the new system to use BI Publisher.
    Does any one have any guidance of how to launch BI Publisher from an ASP.NET application.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    the best way might be to use the WebService API of BI Publisher. Call it from ASP like you all other WebServices. There are a lot of methods available.

  • Cannot Publish Slideshow locally

    This is probably page 1 stuff on iWeb but I am unable to get the Slideshow function to work.
    I've tried to keep things as simple as possible. I create a new site in iWeb using the Photo page template. I then Publish this to local folder on my Mac.
    When I launch this published site into Safari I can click on the thumbnails and get the photos in a separate window.
    Clicking on slideshow just launches the first image as though I'd clicked on the first thumbnail.
    I seem to get all the folders published I would expect, including the Slideshow_assets folder.
    Apologies if this is really old ground but a quick search didn't help.
    iMac 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1.25 GB RAM

    I just tried the codemanic demo on that link and the slideshow does not automatically move from photo to photo, you have to do it manually.
    Having downloaded the replacement Slideshow_assets file I also have the same problem locally on my iMac. Clicking on start slideshow does nothing more than display the first photo i.e. no dynamic slideshow begins.
    Any thoughts?

  • Custom link to Publisher Explorer

    Hi,
    I'm using ALUI 6.1, Publisher 6.4.
    To launch the Publisher Explorer I have to add the built-in "Publisher Adminsitration" portlet to a page, then click the "Publisher Explorer" link.
    I'd like to use this link in another portlet, ideally just using Adaptive Tags or something that doesn't involve .Net/Java programming. Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    James.

    Absolutely!
    To do it open publisher explorer.
    Then click CTRL+N to open a new window with the address bar.
    The address at this point should like something like this mess:
    http://yourSever/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_242_233_0_0_43/http%3B/plumtree3%3B7087/ptcs/navigate.jsp?cid=f9b7e4b6-ad98-4d88-9c85-ed42a617ae43&fbr=1221577369656
    Rip off all the junk following the ?, so the new url should look like this:
    http://yourServer/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_242_233_0_0_43/http%3B/plumtree3%3B7087/ptcs/navigate.jsp
    Then you can dump it into a portlet or navigation or whatever and it should work (works for me!).
    Good luck!

    Removed the part about bookmarking the link, because that won't work. Will only work within the context of the portal session.
