Invoking XML Publisher Report from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have a PL/SQL procecedure which invokes the Concurrent Request for the XML Publisher Report. This one finishes with a warning and I get 'Unable to publish output' when I try to view the output. Exact Error: "Unable to find the published output for this request "
But if I run the same report using Concurrent program, the Report executes with no error. Also the desired output is coming. I am not sure where I am doing wrong in code.
My code which invokes the XML Publisher Report (from PL/SQL package)is something like this:
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout (template_appl_name => 'XXTMG', template_code => 'XXT_5001_BOL_T', template_language => 'EN', template_territory => 'US', output_format => 'XML');
l_no_of_copies := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_NO_OF_COPIES');
l_printername := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_PRINTER');
l_print_style := NULL; --For setting the Printer Options
l_result := fnd_request.set_print_options (l_printername, l_print_style, l_no_of_copies, TRUE, 'N');
l_result := fnd_request.add_printer (l_printername, 0);
y := fnd_request.submit_request ('XXTMG', 'XXT_5001_BOL', '', TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'), FALSE, 'CH-120079') ;
end;
Please let me know where I might be going wrong
Thanks

Hi Sumit,
You can try with this code:
exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(org_id)
exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id,resp_id,appl_id);
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout ('XXTMG' --template_appl_name
          ,'XXT_5001_BOL_T' --template_code
          ,'en' --template_language
     ,'US' --template_territory
     ,'XML' --output_format
if (x=TRUE) then
y := fnd_request.submit_request (
                    'XXTMG'           --application
                    ,'XXT_5001_BOL'      --program
                    ,SYSDATE          --start_time
                    ,FALSE               --sub_request
                    ,'CH-120079'          --argument1 (Program's Parameter)
if y>0 then
          dbms_output.put_line('Request ID '||y);
end if;
end if; --if (x=TRUE) then
end;
Make sure that program has only one input parameter. If program has other parameters then you can pass those parameters like argument1, argument2... etc.
Now you can see this submited request in your application using your user id. If you able to see your request in concurrent request then you can add printer parameters in this programs.
You don't need to pass all 100 parameters.
I am executing many programs/reports using this code.
Thanks

Hi,
I tried the way suggested by Anil in the above link as well today, but still am getting the same error while openning the pdf .
Dont know why it shows error that either the file is not a supported file type or because the file is damaged.
Please suggest way to solve this error or some other way of calling xml report from OAF page.

How to call RDF report from JSP page

Dear all,
I want to call a RDF report from JSP page. I am creating the JSP page using j developer 10G.
Can anyone help me out in this case. Is there any tag or procedure or any other way by of that i can perform this work.
please help and send the reply on [email protected],[email protected]
thanks
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
You can use rwservlet - nothing really to do with JDeveloper. Once you have report server up and running (hint: read http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/toc.htm), you can call a report like this:
http://server:port/rwservlet?report=my_report.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=html&p_my_parameter=xxx etcHope this helps,

How to generate XML Publisher report from PLSQL Stored Procedure in APPS

Hi,
I have concurrent program of type PLSQL Stored procedure.I need to generate XML Publisher report from the same.I have changed the output of the concurrent program as "XML" but when I tried running it,the XML tags are not generated.Due to this I am unable to create the template.Its a urgent issue.
Please help me out .
Thanks in advance.
Kaveri

Hi Kaveri
Sadly there is nothing magic about that output field. The only program type that you can flip it to XML and then magically get XML is for Oracle Reports. For plsql you will need to recode the plsql to generate XML rather than text that you have now.
You have some options, best option first:
1. Move the sql to a data template - check the user guide and blog for help or
2. Use SQL XML or XMLGEN (not great for large datasets) or
3. Use dbms_output.put_line and write the XML file manually - not performant at all

Launching a Discoverer report from jsp page

Hi
I have a discoverer workbook created using BI Discoverer (for relational). I want to accept some parameters for this workbook from a jsp page, which will also have a "View report" button. This button when pressed should open up the Discoverer workbook and all the parameters from the jsp should be passed to the workbook.
Is it possible? If yes, any details on it?
We do the same thing successfully to launch Oracle Reports from jsps, we simply build the url in the jsp, and from jsp we submit it to a new window, and it opens up the report. Similar functionality we are looking to launch Discoverer reports.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Shalu

You can open the workbook with URL parameters with Discoverer Viewer much like you would Oracle Reports. Setting anything form the username, password, workbook name, worksheet, and parameters. All the information can be found in the following document:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/bi.1012/b13918/urlstart.htm
The specific question your asking is addressed under 13.5.2 Example 2. Let me know if you have any issues

Calling a XML Publisher report from FND_SUBMIT_REQUEST

Hi,
I need to submit a XMLP report from FND_SUBMIT_REQUEST.
The report will have say, 4 templates for 4 seperate languages.
Now, when i call the report from submit request, i need to give the name of a template that will get attached.
Does anybody have any idea which parameter in the submit request parameter list takes the name of a template?
Please let me know if anybody has any info on this.
Can mail me at [email protected]
Regards,
Satrajit

Hi,
You can use FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST for submitting the report. The syntax is as follows:
function FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST
(application IN varchar2 default NULL,
program IN varchar2 default NULL,
description IN varchar2 default NULL,
start_time IN varchar2 default NULL,
sub_request IN boolean default FALSE
argument1,
argument2, ..., argument99,
argument100) return number;
Here is the code that I used for submitting XML Report Publisher from within my Oracle Report's AfterReport trigger. The parameters are explained.
a:=FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO', 'XDOREPPB','Varun XML Report Printing', NULL, FALSE, :P_CONC_REQUEST_ID , 'MYONT','MY_PREPACK_XML','en-US' ,'N', 'RTF', :p_output_format,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,

srw.message(123,'Value of New Request : ' || a ||' Output Format :'||:p_output_format);
Hope it helps.

Calling XML Publisher Report from OAF using the conc programs xml output

Hi all
I am trying to call a report from oa Framework. I have developed the Template in the Ms-Word and for Generating the xml data i used the view object defined in OAF, this approach is working for me...i used the following code to do this in the AM as mentioned in many places...
public XMLNode getEmpDataXML()
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)findViewObject("EmpVO1");
XMLNode xmlNode = (XMLNode) vo.writeXML(4, XMLInterface.XML_OPT_ALL_ROWS);
return xmlNode;
now i want that instead of the view object i should use the xml generated by the report which is registered as concurrnet program with output as xml.
I am submitting the concurrent program and able to get the request id ...
Now from here what should i do.. please suggest...

Hi,
I am thinking of doing something very similar. What i was planning on doing is submitting the request, and then redirecting the user to the concurrent request page. They can then use the standard functionality to view output and get the xml to use the appropriate template.
i would be interested in how you get the concurrent request id from the submitted job.
Many thanks

Printing BI Publisher report from OAF Page WITHOUT Preview or Save Option

I have a requirement to print a BI Publisher Report on the invoke of a Button from a OAF Page. I have followed the method suggested in the below link to integrate OAF and BI Publisher.-
http://apps2fusion.com/at/51-ps/260-integrating-xml-publisher-and-oa-framework
In this scenario, I already developed Data Definition (XML) and Template (RTF) for the report and a self service page with 'Generate PDF' button. When the button is clicked the template is getting filled with the data from the database and displaying the PDF output. A dialog box with 'Open/Save/Cancel' appears before the PDF document is shown.
But my requirement is to avoid this dialog box and Save option so when the button is clicked the document has to be directly sent to the printer.
Is there anyway to achieve this? Please help as this is very urgent..
Thanks,
Naren

Naveen,
You need to read the documentation here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/documentation/xmlpdocs-084437.html
All of the information you need is in these:
Administration and Developer's Guide
Report Designer's Guide
JavaDocs
With the BI publisher (XML publisher) Java APIs, you can call a data template with parameters and get the XML from that.
For an example that should be very close to what you need to do, see the comments section of this page:
http://apps2fusion.com/at/ps/294-bi-publisher-document-viewer-common-region-embeded-report-output-in-oa-framework-page-part-2
Find the comment titled: "Alternative: BlobDomain from data template"
The great thing about using a Data Template is that, while you are NOT concurrent program dependent, you can still set up a concurrent program to run it for other purposes if you wish. Data Templates offer a lot more flexibility.

Printing BI Publisher report from OAF Page

We have a requirement to display a BI Publisher Report on the invoke of a Button/Link from a OAF Page. One way to achieve this without invoking a concurrent program is by following the method described in the link below :-
http://apps2fusion.com/at/51-ps/260-integrating-xml-publisher-and-oa-framework
In the current scenario, we already have developed Data Definition (XML) and Template (RTF) for the report and is used too. We want to use the same Data Definition and Template but invoke from a OAF Page. Is there a way to achieve this?
In the method mentioned in the above link, we would have to create many VO's to generate the XML, since the XML needed in our case is a detailed one, we would need to create many VO's to achieve this. Hence looking out for a way in which we can invoke the Data Definition (XML) already registered in the BI Publisher.
Any inputs to achieve this would be helpful.
