Report Bursting in BIP

I am new to BIP. We have a scheduled report that bursts different pdfs every week on friday. These pdfs are bursted to an ECM folder through WebDAV.This folder is static. But I have to burst the pdfs to a different new folder everyweek. Is there a way to create a new folder every week dynamically while bursting the pdfs? Dynamic part is the Month and date like \November2008\11-28-2008\. Or is it possible to run any shell script within the BI report to create the folder before the pdfs are bursted?
Thanks,
Nag

Vetsrini,
Thanks for your quick reply. Do we need to call IBOT from PL/SQL package triggr? Would you please eloborate on IBOT? Thanks, Nag

Utilizing XML Publisher Report Bursting Program user-variables

When running the XML Publisher Report Bursting Program against a bursting control file, I see the following in the log:
Bursting propertes.....
{user-variable:cp:territory=US, user-variable:cp:ReportRequestID=4413342, user-variable:cp:language=en, user-variable:cp:responsibility=20678, user-variable.OA_MEDIA=http://hostname:8000/OA_MEDIA, burstng-source=EBS, user-variable:cp:DebugFlag=N, user-variable:cp:parent_request_id=4413342, user-variable:cp:locale=en-US, user-variable:cp:user=USER, user-variable:cp:application_short_name=XDO, user-variable:cp:request_id=4413368, user-variable:cp:org_id=204, user-variable:cp:reportdescription=Report Name, user-variable:cp:Dummy for Data Security=Y}
I would like to reference one or more of these in
1. My bursting control file
2. My template (to be output in final PDF).
I cannot seem to get this to work in my bursting control file by referencing:
${cp:user} (note that it just returns the word 'null' here instead of the value)
nor can I get it to work in my RTF template by referencing:
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘cp:user’)?>
Should this work, or I am missing something?
Thanks

Thanks Ike, it likely would. The thing I keep coming back to is an example in the BIP Developer's Guide that suggests you can set a property and have it made available:
DocumentProcessor dp = new DocumentProcessor (cfgFile, xmlFile, dir);
Properties prop= new Properties();
prop.put("user-variable:ADMIN_EMAIL","[email protected]");
dp.setConfig(prop);
dp.process()
Seems to me that the work going on behind the scenes here (based on log statements alone) suggest the same sort of integration.. but I suppose not.
Thanks

Report Bursting

Hi,
I have around 20 reports that need to be exported as pdf. I have to burst all the reports at once to a directory. I have an apex application that has all the report details. The user wants to have all the reports bursted to the directory at once when the user selects the reports he want to burst and clicks a button or a url to tigger bursting in BI Publisher. How can I do this?
Thank you,
Machan

use BIP web-services for this and see this forum how to schedule the report.
have a script to run it based on user action.
or
make it as a servlet and give url to users.
or
make a UI in apex for the report selection.
these inputs will call the java( BIP webservices and API) which will schedule the reports.
Write custom java code , which uses the BIP web-services and make it as a url
Re: Run BI Publisher from the command line through a shell script
Re: Run BI Publisher from the command line through a shell script
BIP has provided a webservice,
One of the function is to run or schedule a report.
Write a simple Java program, which will look at the server and point to run the report you wanted.

Report burst:To increase query performance in xcelsius

Is there anyway to increase query performance in xcelsius by using report bursting

Fremlin,
Report bursting is only for distributing your reports to your end users.
You can improve performance only by following the [Best practices|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a084a11c-6564-2b10-79ac-cc1eb3f017ac] in xcelsius.

Automatic Report Bursting based on column names given by user as parameter.

Hi,
Could some help me achieve the following functionality. The requirement are:
1. create a report that has parameters that are column names (display values e.g: department, location, employee job code)
2. the end user will select one or more columns from the multi-select parameter
3. we want that there should be a button on clicking that the user should get automatic file bursting. He should not be required to go to schedules tab and create a new job for that.
4. the report should burst to a file location depending on the columns selected by the user, e.g. if user selected department and location then we should have files saved in the set file location as sales-india.pdf, sales-us.pdf, hr-india.pdf, hr-us.pdf and so on.
I am new to BI Publisher.
Could you help me in creating such a parameter, what should be report sql for capturing the data from parameter and then doing report bursting automatically based on two or more parameter values given by the user.
There is no need to show the report to the user in BI Publisher as there are thousands of rows in a table. Three tables join to give the employee data.

Thanks for a quick response but I am still not clear on
1. how to do this using custom java code
and
2. actually user would login to interactive dashboard and there he will give these parameters using which we need to automatically burst a BI publisher report. Can this be done some how?

Sending HTML Email Using Report Bursting

Hello all,
I have a requirement whereby I am sending the report as an attachment to some users and as a link to other users. Report bursting would seem to be the answer and is working well with the exception of the HTML formatted email. When attempting to email a link, my html tags are still showing up as text. I have tried using < and >
I have also specified format=html in my distribution.xml file to no avail.
Any ideas ??
Monty

Where are you adding your html code for the link ?
Is it in a field in the report or are including it as part of the distribution.xml file?

FO processing for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program

Hello,
I am facing the following problem: if i try to burst a report using XML Publisher Report Bursting Program special characters like (ş,ţ,ă, etc.) in the resulting PDF look strange. I have tried running the report without bursting it and the characters appear just fine (after i've set the FO Processing Font Mapping). My guess is that XML Publisher Report Bursting Program is not using the right font mapping. Have you faced this problem before? Do you have any idea how to set the right font mapping for XML Publisher Report Bursting Program.
Thank you.

So the answer was to make sure the location in the bursting file (location="xdo://schema.template_code.en.US) exactly matches the language/country setting in the uploaded Definition. Then make sure the fonts have been added to the xdo.cfg file matching what your Font Mappings are:
<font family="Cambria" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIA.TTC" />
</font>
<font family="Cambria" style="normal" weight="bold">
<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIAB.TTF" />
</font>
<font family="Cambria Bold" style="normal" weight="bold">
<truetype path="/app/erp1/applmgr/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/CAMBRIAB.TTF" />
</font>
<font family="Cambria Bold" style="normal" weight="normal">

BI Publisher report bursting problem

I am not able to make my report burst to separate files for ftp delivery. I am running BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4.1 (stand-alone). My data query looks like this:
select a.agency_id, b.borr_name
from agency_tbl a, borr_tbl b
where a.rpt_date >= 20100101 and a.rpt_date <= 20100110
and a.borr_id = b.borr_id
and a.agency_id in (80013,80019)
order by a.agency_id, b.borr_name
My bursting/delivery query looks like this:
select agency_id "KEY",
'mytemplate' as TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FTP' DEL_CHANNEL,
'myserver' PARAMETER1,
'myid' PARAMETER2,
'mypwd' PARAMETER3,
'/home1/web-docs-443/files/pdffiles' PARAMETER4,
convert(varchar,agency_id) || '.pdf' PARAMETER5
from agency_tbl
where agency_id in (80013,80019)
and rpt_date >= 20100101 and rpt_date <= 20100110
(I have to put "KEY" in quotes because my database is sybase, and KEY is a reserved word.)
I have verified that both queries return data (6 records each, no null agency_id keys).
The goal is to create a file for each agency that lists their associated borrowers.
I can view the report without problems. But when I schedule the report and enable bursting, I get the "Job was failed" email notification, and the report history shows this:
Job Execution Information
History ID 218

Any help will be greatly appreciated. This has me stumped . . . I am out of ideas.

What caused our bursting problem:
We had to put the word "KEY" in quotes (in our bursting query), because KEY is a reserved word in sybase. But putting it in quotes caused a problem - the results of the bursting query did not contain a "KEY" tag.
. . . And the solution:
We added the connection property "GET_COLUMN_LABEL_FOR_NAME=true" to our sybase datasource definition. Many thanks to Tim Dexter, and to Paul from the sybase forums (http://newsgroupstats.info/article/forums.sybase.com/sybase.public.jconnect/2308/Column-aliases-not-working.html) c. 2007.
And thanks again to Jorge for the helpful suggestion.

Hi,
Just check this link to get some better clarity,
http://garethroberts.blogspot.in/2008/03/bi-publisher-ebs-bursting-101.html
https://sites.google.com/site/shareapps4u/learning-topic/xml-publisher/how-to-use-xml-bursting-to-send-xml-report-via-email
Then your
<xapi:template type="rtf" location="/tmp/XXCNC_CM_ITEMCOST_CHG.rtf" /> is wrong.. this need to point the xml template location. Just check the query and then u can replace this with your output
select
lt.application_short_name || '.' || lt.template_code || '.' || lt.default_language || '.' || lt.default_territory as burst_template_xdo_location
from
apps.xdo_templates_b lt
where lt.template_code ='<Template Code>'; --here value <Template Code> is 'XX_TEST_XML_DT'
