Publishing EBS 12.1.3

Hi all,
I'm trying to publish oracle e-Business 12.1.3 via UAG and am running into the following problem.
The application includes some AJAX which generates the navigator menu and includes the application's private URL which I am able to rewrite using AppWraps successfully so all of the links from the menu on the webpage work fine (both HTML links and links
to the Oracle forms applet forms).
A problem occurs if an HTML form link is accessed from within the Java applet; a browser window is launched trying to access the private URL which fails since the private URL is unknown to the client device. I'm hoping that the details of the URL which is
launched in the browser comes from the application server and is possible to be re-written so that the browser correctly points to the public URL for the application.
Has anyone experienced this issue and have they been able to resolve it? Any suggestions on how to proceed gratefully received.
Note: We are trying to avoid publishing using the sslvpn component if at all possible for various implementation specific reasons.
Thanks
Rich

Has no one successfully published EBS without using the SSLVPN tunnel?
Thanks
Rich

XML Publisher/eBS version

Hi,
If I look in the white paper "Publishing Concurrent Requests with XML Publisher" from January 2005 I can on page 9 see that there is a new field in the Submit Request form (Forms environment); "Layout", where you can tell which XML Publisher template the report should use. This fixes the problem that you need to submit two requests, one for the actual report to XML and one for the layout generation.
Does anyone know in which patch level/version on eBS/XML Publisher this new field is added? I have an environment 11.5.10 (unpatched) and there the new field is not visible? Does it come with the 11.5.10 CU2 or what do I have to do get this new field?
Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Please apply patch 3435480, that integrates the XML Publisher concurrent requests into one (instead of running two).On application of this patch, the service request form FNDRSRUN will upgrade itself to the newer version ($Header FNDRSRUN.fmb 115.136 2004/12/10 15:14 jtoruno ship). You will be able to see a new button called 'Options' in the 'Layout' section of the same SR form. This is the place where one selects the 'Template/Output Format' and then submit the request for further processing. We have implemented this with the 11.5.10 CU2 release and then applying the patch.
I hope this helps.
Thx,
Nitin

XML Publisher - EBS Applications Menu

Is there a way to create an XML Publisher report in Oracle Applications and then provide it as a menu item on the Applications menu for a specific responsibility? Also, will XMLP reports that use the secure views in Oracle HCM Applications be restricted for users who access them through the apps menu?
I am considering use of XMLP to create reports for one of the self-service HCM applications.
Thanks.

Hi,
If you use the secured views when you are writing the report then your data should be restricted accordingly. I haven't tried with HCM but it definitely works with the standard Operating Unit security.
Thanks
Paul

XML Publisher (EBS) Bursting and Group By

I have a feeling I already know the answer to this question, but maybe not and there is a way around it. I'm using the seeded report Deposit Advice XML from EBS, and I copied it so I can use bursting. Here is my problem. The xml is not grouped by the way we need it so when I burst it it will either email us the full file or each person in a separate email.
Here is what I'm TRYING to accomplish. Is there a way in the Bursting Control File to have records grouped, the bursted (either by print/email etc).
For example I would like to have all organizations_id in ('100','101,'102') grouped into one file then emailed. I don't think this is possible without changing the original xml file and since it's seeded and spawned thats not going to happen. It does filter the records and email me each person separately. But that's because the XML is formatted that way.
Any ideas?

I figured it out
in your select if you want to group your output by say Organization_id change your select in your burst file to the following
<xapi:request select="/PAYSLIP_REPORT/PAYSLIP/EMPLOYEE_DETAILS/ORGANIZATION_ID">

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..

Creating pdf report from xml publisher report

Hi,
I'm newbie to xmlpublisher env.
We've a report in Oracle 11i developed in unix shell script and run as concurrent program generating check details which will be printed on checks.
I was asked to migrate this report into R12 in pdf format.They provided rtf template and xml data.I installed xml publisher desktop.I would like to know how I can create pdf template,if necessary changing the position of fields on the template.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Sorry to say, but no you can not use the desktop or standalone edition for integration with EBS.
In your case there are 2 alternatives for you:
1) Update the Unix shell script so it's ok for R12 (it did a good job for a long time on 11i)
2) Leave the unix script and redesign for BI Publisher (ebs edition)
Both are taking the same effort in my opinion, only since you moved to R12 it's a good learning moment to get to know the strength of BIP.
Since you task is to modify the standard Oracle solution, which i guess is an rtf template provided download the MS Word plugin and adjust the template
If any detail help needed please contact me directly

Then your

How do I customize the Email Attachment name in Email Bursting?

I had worked on BI Publisher extensively on 10g and 11g. I have a client requirement with BIP email bursting to deliver the reports as email attachments. I'm able to do it, and also customize mail body etc. However the email attachment file name is randomly generated with some numbers. I read through the docs, and couldn't find any parameter mapping to the attachment/file name (like we do it with File bursting). How do I specify the mail attachment file names in my Busrting properties?
Thanks,
Padma

I think after the 'Output' we can specify the filename

Is it possible that 1 RTF template with 1 xml file produces many PDF files

Hello,
We are using XML publisher with eBS.
As part of it, we've got treatments that generate invoices.
One treatment produces 1 big XML file with many invoices in it.
Currently, this big XML file generates one big PDF file with all the invoices.
I'd like to know if it's possible to keep the big XML file (with many invoices), and instead, generate 1 PDF file per invoice ?
Basically we would like to split the big PDF file into small PDF, one PDF file per invoice .
If it's possible, then, how can we do it ?
I hope my explanation is clear.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Olivier

Have you tried the BI publisher bursting feature?
