Use of Oracle Content Publisher

Are you all using it to do entire sites, or jsut individual portlets (like Publisher)? It appears to be overkill for simple content managed portlets. I may be missing something in the documentation.

Hi,
To check if the function is working fine , we inserted the output from temp table into a normal physical table .We queried the physical table and found the values there.
So , the function is working fine.
We dont have any statement like 'PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION ' in our function.
Do we need to add it?
Just to clarify the issue , We have populated the temp table by calling a function and after that we are trying to query the temp table.However, it appears that the session changes between teh function call and issuing of select query .This is resultin into no data being fetched as the values in Gloabal temp table persist only for a session.
Thanks!

Oracle BI Publisher desktop - insert field does not make absolute path

Hello everyone,
I am using the Oracle BI Publisher desktop 11.1.1.5
Lets have the given demodata
<demodata>
     <person>
     <name>Peter</name>
     </person>
     <relative>
     <name>Mike</name>
     </relative>
</demodata>
As you can see the tag <name> is used as subchild in person, relative.
next i start winword 2007 using the bip-extension. There is a button 'insered field' that opens a window with the demodata tree.
When i pick person->relation->name there will be the expression <?name?> insered.
Thats my problem, i need the absolute path to be insered, in this case <?/demodata/relation/name?>
If the adressing is not absolute starting from the root the rendered Report will show 'Peter' as it is the first occurence of the <name> tag.
I have not find out where to configure the word-plugin to make absolute paths in fields.
Any ideas ?

Thank you for your answer
sure, it is possible to edit the fields by hand but my xml-structure is autogenerated (MDA-approach), nested and quiet complex. Manual tasks can lead to typing errors and sometimes i forget to edit one field afterwards.
It would be just very handy when the tool does the work for me, it has all the information anyway.
I wonder why am the first person that is having this request. In my opinion adressing starting from the root is clear and without ambiguity. In every field i can exactly read using the expression which element in the tree is used.
In conclusion, it would be nice if the plugin let the user decide whether to use the short or the long syntax
greetings,
martin.

Create a an Table of content or an Index page in report in Oracle BI Publisher

I want to create an Index page for my multi page report in Oracle BI Publisher. Any help would be appreciated.
I am using MS word 2010 for creating the template (*.rtf file). Please let me know if any more details are required.
I am creating a rtf template for generating a report in oracle BI Publisher. The report displays the details for all the products used by the customer. Report contains 1 product per page. All the products have same template.
What I want is to create an Index page, which displays the product name and the page number of the report in which it is generated.
For eg. Customer Papa Johns uses 10 products. The report generated will contain below details: 1st Page -> Cover Page containing Basic details of customer.
2nd Page -> Index page containing the product names and the page numbers
3rd page: Product 1 details
4th page: Product 2 Details .
and so on.
INDEX
Product Name Page No.
Anchovies 4
Apple Topping 5
Bacon 6
Barbecue Sauce 7
Barbecue Sauce2 8
Chicken Topping 9
Dough 10
Please note that the number of product will be variable(may increase or decrease), hence there may be case when the index page takes more that 1 or 2 pages just to print the product names and their respective page numbers.

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10g database and Oracle 10g developer suite.
I want to learn to use Oracle BI publisher for making reports.
Today i have installed Oracle BI publisher desktop for making reports in ms-word 2007. when i try to log on in BI Publisher option in ms-word. It ask for username, password & report server.
In my system having java environment and OC4J with Oracle 10g developer suite.
Should i need to installed the BI Publisher Server to fill up the report server url details?
please advice.
Thanks.

Take a look at data templates. You can use the "BeforeReportTrigger" option using a PL/Sql function to accomplish this. Look at the Report Designers guide for information about datatemplates.

What is the use of Schedule Tab in Oracle BI Publisher

I am learning oracle bi publisher, here in the BI Publisher Enterprise screen , i got 3 tabs , 1) Reports 2) Schedules 3) Admin, here my Schedule tab is disabled..
What is the use of Schedule Tab ?
Edited by: joysaha123 on Mar 19, 2010 8:45 PM

Dont you think, this has to be posted in BI Publisher forum ?
If you had, this will get more visibility.
Neway, let me answer.
The reports can be scheduled for later, which can be monitored(download previously run report/re-run).

WebCenter Interaction or Oracle Content Integration Suite?

Hello all,
I am a newbie to WebCenter.
I am very confused with whice we should use to integrate Oracle UCM with WebCenter, WebCenter Interaction or Oracle Content Integration Suite?
Is there any guides for UCM and WebCenter(10g and 11g) Integration?

Workflow simple?Hi Geoff,
Whoah, that’s a lot of questions, this should probably be on another thread. By far, this in not a definitive review. (only personal experiences).
But here goes…
Assuming you’re using WCI 10.3.0\ALUI 6.5.x:
What has your experience with UCM been like?
- Good. You should take UCM training to get the full breadth of what it offers.
- UCM Install: Pretty simple. If you know where to look.
- UCM is a Site Manager\builder and THEN some! CPS Portlet Integration covers a small set use cases of its full potential. UCM appears to be a stand alone product.
- CPS Portlet integration. Not tightly integrated… Currently, you will have to manually add the portal users in the USERS ADMIN utility in the UCM installation. CPS Portlets EAR file is deployed on the OC4J Container/frameworks, which makes it a "Producer". ALUI WSRP Piece is the "Consumer" of the CPS Portlets into the Portal. Make sure you have installed ALUI WSRP correctly. Suggest learning about “WSDL”s. Currently, ALUI WSRP only supports version 1.0 WSDL’s. Only use the version CPS Portlet 1.0 WSDL’s, it offers you both 1.0 and 2.0.
- What is OC4J Container? ‘http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1013/index.html’ Just install the oc4j frameworks… the full installation appears to be unnecessary.
Are the portlets good? Comparable to publisher in functionality?
- The CPS Portlet Suite only represents Administration Portlets for UCM. There is no single .PTE file for CPS Integration. Per Documentation, "3.2.2 CPS Consumption Steps". You have to manage your admin objects.
- There are no fancy wizards that will make your portlets, YET. Hopefully, this will be available in the future. Web service and portlet creation must be done manually. You must manually create your own web services to point at off site content.
How is the ease of use for non-technical content managers?
- Well, once it is set up and you’re trained on UCM. Sure it's snap.
Workflow simple?
- Sorry, I haven't worked with this functionality.
Comments: Publisher really pampers you with all its portlet wizards. Look for them in WCI 11G/above.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!!!

Integrating Oracle BPM UI with Oracle BI Publisher as reporting tool.

          We are using WebCenter Content 11.1.1.6.0 (Ps5) version with Oracle BPM for the workflows.
Is it possible to integrate Oracle BI Publisher to print reports from Oracle BPM User Interface (UI) ?    Basically user should be able to generate a *.pdf file with approved data after the final approval.
What are the Tables that stores Oracle BPM field Values?
Thanks ..

Hi,
Let me share the basic steps. You can always dump the view data into an XML file by using writeXML method.
e.g.
You need to place BIP jars into BPM domain_home/lib dir.
MASTER_QUERY="select * from employees where employee_id=:0";
ViewObject master = createViewObjectFromQueryStmt(null, MASTER_QUERY);
master.setWhereClauseParam(0, employee_id);
Row firstRow = master.first();
Node data = master.writeXML(-1, XMLInterface.XML_OPT_ALL_ROWS);
then you can call the following method to generate pdf based on your template.
resource = "C:\\app\\stage\\templates\\YourBIPTemplate.rtf";
    private File generatePDF(Node data, String resource) {
        File ApplicationDataFile = null;
        File tmpTemplateFile = null;
        File pdf = null;
        OutputStream output = null;
        InputStream is =
            Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(resource);
        try {
            Date date = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMddHHmm");
            int uid =
                (new oracle.jbo.server.SequenceImpl("DDOCNAME_SEQ", this.getDBTransaction())).getSequenceNumber().intValue();
            pdf =
new File(tmpDir + File.separator + docType + uid + ".pdf");
            pdf.createNewFile();
            output = new FileOutputStream(pdf);
            output = new BufferedOutputStream(output);
            ApplicationDataFile =
                    new File("C:\\Temp\\ApplicationData" +
                             ".xml");
            try {
                Writer sWriter =
                    new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(ApplicationDataFile),
                                                              "UTF-8"));
                ((XMLNode)data).print(sWriter);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            byte[] sXML = null;
            StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(ApplicationDataFile);
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fis, "UTF8");
            Reader in = new BufferedReader(isr);
            int ch;
            while ((ch = in.read()) > -1) {
                buffer.append((char)ch);
            in.close();
            sXML = buffer.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
            InputStream rtfInputStream = new FileInputStream(resource);
            RTFProcessor rtfProcessor = new RTFProcessor(rtfInputStream);
            tmpTemplateFile =
                    File.createTempFile("ApplicationTemplate", ".tmp");

Try opening a command prompt (cmd) and running the command from the command line.
Then you can see what is going wrong.I have a question, I just upgraded our test 11i database (9i) to 10g (10.2), as a part of that upgraded forms, reports, graphics to patchset 18. Now planning to install 10giAS on appsTier on which forms, Apache and discoverer running. If I install 10giAS in differnet home, how can I get that in to appsTier?, does it mean adapcctl script no longer be used to start webservices?. I haven’t done this before, if my question is stupid, please ignore :).

How call procedure or package from Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.2.1

Hi Gurus,
I need to call a procedure or package from Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.2.1 by passing parameters, I do it because it would be easier to fill a table as the report that asks for is too complex (8 breaks, 5 dblinks, 20 tables, etc).
I'm not using the Oracle XML. Review include the following solutions:
Re: Stored procedures and dynamic columns
Re: Is it possible to use Stored Procedures in BI Publisher GUI?
Re: PL/SQL Stored Procedure w/ XML Template?
But none of them useful for me was the level of complexity.
