Register BI Publisher report in Oracle Apps

Hi,
I wanted to know, if we can register a BI Publisher report in Oracle Apps. Please note that this is BI publisher Release 10.1.3.4...I am not using any rdf here.
Thanks,
As

Hii Gareth,
The steps you specified are basically used for former XML publisher but as i am developing the report in BI Publisher, when we create data definition in xml administrator responsibility, that time we need to upload a data template file that looks like following:
<dataTemplate name="InvoiceTest" description="Invoice Test" Version="1.0">
     <parameters>
          <parameter name="P_ORG_ID" dataType="Integer"/>
     </parameters>
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="Q1">
               <![CDATA[select a.invoice_num AS "Invoice Number",
        a.invoice_currency_code AS "Invoice Currency code",
        a.payment_currency_code AS "Payment Currency Code",
        sum(a.invoice_amount) AS "Invoice Amount",
        a.payment_method_lookup_code AS "Payment Method",
        sum(a.approved_amount) AS "Approved Amount",
        b.vendor_name "Vendor Name",
           b.vendor_id AS Vendor_id
               from ap_invoices_all a,
po_vendors b
where invoice_type_lookup_code = 'STANDARD'
and a.vendor_id = b.vendor_id
and a.org_id = NVL(:P_ORG_ID,a.ORG_ID)
group by
        b.vendor_name,
        a.invoice_num,
        a.invoice_currency_code,
        a.payment_currency_code,
        a.invoice_date,
        a.payment_method_lookup_code,
           b.vendor_id]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
</dataTemplate>
but as Latest BI Publisher does not provide/generate such file automatically (I am not using rdfs but querying the database from BI Publisher itself) so there is no use of using this way registering the BI Publisher report in Oracle Apps as using this way to register a BI Publisher report will lead me to manually make a data definition file and then register it into Oracle Apps. Please suggest me if there is any other way that i can go for or if there is any way i can get the data definition file automatically created from Latest BI Publisher.
Thanks for your help,

Register Drill-Down Reports in Oracle Apps 11i

I understand the registration process for registering a drill-down Oracle*Report in Oracle Applications is more complex as for a standard Oracle*Report. Does anyone know what the steps are, or where I can find documentation on this.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
ah ok, now the situation gets clearer ;)
Normally I would say that drill-down requires some kind of interactivity, so I am not sure if reports is the best way for this, because the functionality of reports is:
enter parameters > run > view output. But for drill-down you need some more functionality: select a column/value where you want to drill-in or out, have some kind of hierarchy to select the "drill-level"... I don't think that this is foreseen in Reports 6i. So I would try maybe two different ways:
1. design the report in a way that the users can select the drill-level (or level of detail) as a report parameter. For example you create a parameter "Detail Level" with possible values "Summary", "Detailed Rows". Based on the parameter value chosen the report returns different output. This keeps you of course limited to a certain, fixed set of drill-levels, but I think this is ok in most of the cases.
2. Another option could be to create several different reports, for example one "Summary" report and one "detailed" report, and in the summary report you could include links (dynamic URLs) to the detailed report, and when the user clicks on a certain value in the Summary report, then the detailed report is started for that specific value. However this is a bit more complex, I'd go for the first option.
But to get real drill-down functionality you should consider using Discoverer or BI Publisher technology, those are perfect for such kind of reports.
kind regards,
David.

BI Publisher Report in Oracle Apps 11i having multiple queries.

Hi,
I would like to know whether it is possible to have multiple queries in a data definition File.
QUERY1 - To find the last run date of a particular concurrent program

If any knows please let me know as it is bit urget for me.
Im leaving in Duabi, if any is intrested to teach me i will join or pls let me know any instute
Thanks,

Assuming that you intend to create a layout template to use against an existing report, then you should start by changing the output type in the concurrent program definition to XML. You should then run the report and save the XML file output. This will form the start point for yout layout template.
In order to create the layout template, you need to download the BI Publisher desktop. This is the add-in for Word which is used to build the template.
When you have these tasks completed, you can open up Word and you will find you have some new menu options. Load the XML data you created in the first step, and you can build your template. You will also be able to preview the output from within Word.
When you have completed the template, you need to go into XML Publisher responsibility. You should create a data definition which has a code the same as the concurrent program short name. This is the link between the template and the concurrent program.
You then need to define a template for this data definition which will have the layout template uploaded.
Having done this, switch to systeem administration responsibility, select the concurrent program menu entry and query back the program you are workin on. Click on the 'update' icon. You then need to click on the 'Onsite setting' tab. This allows you to attach the template to the program.
Hope this helps.

Integrating mod_plsql reports with Oracle Apps. A maddening dilemma.

I'm hoping there is some guru out there that has the perfect solution to this maddening dilemma I'm facing.
The crux of the issue is this.
I've created mod_plsql reports that can accept a session_id with which they can set a user context based on global application contexts set in Oracle applications by users as they log in.
At this juncture, I have not figured out a way to call those mod_plsql reports from Oracle apps using a variable session_id as defined for the user when they logged into apps.
My client want to be able to log into Oracle apps and then go to the mod_plsql reports from the Oracle Apps menu and maintain the user session, so that the mod_plsql reports are run using VPD to constrain access to the data they are displaying to that specific user.
The client does not have Single Sign On installed nor OID.
I had hoped to pass a variable parameter session_id from the defined menu function that would call the mod_plsql url, but I don't see any way to pass a variable there and am becoming convinced that doing so is not an option. Can anyone confirm this?
An alternate option I'm considering that seems like it would work is to create a JSP page that gets called from a menu function. In that JSP page, I would retrieve the session_id set in apps based on the context for the user_id that I could retrieve from fnd_global.user_id and assemble a URL with the session_id that the page would then re-route to the mod_plsql page.
Unfortunately, I'm not versed in JSP.
How hard would it be to create the sort of page that I'm talking about?
Would the JSP need to part of OAF?
Can anyone think of any other options that would take care of the issue I'm dealing with?
Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry it took me so long to reply back. I don't recall seeing the session_id or user_id being passed as part of the function set up, but the rest definitely are. I may be mistaken.
I did come up with a solution that involved the following.
The package was in another schema, but granting execute to apps and creating a synonym in apps allowed for all mod_plsql output to be generated by Oracle's apps ias server.
I could capture the session_id and the user_id using a function referencing icx_session. I build an additional procedure that gets called first by the app so that it can set the session_id and user_id to a context then set a cookie that all subsequently generated pages reference with that info.
That's the short of it and at this point I've long moved on to other issues but it certainly was a relief to get it working. No jsp necessary.
Thanks.
