Using dbms_application_info.set_client_info('ORG_ID') in BI Publisher rep

Question

Hello,
I have a problem here. I would appreciate if you could please provide me some suggestions on this.
I am developing a report in BI publisher using database as data source. In my query i am using few views so in order to get the data from those views, i need to initialize those views. In case of rdf, this task could be achieved by using before report trigger but right now i am developing the report using BI Publisher without using RDF. I am writing the query in BI Publisher itself and will be creating the data template for the same and upload it into the BI Publisher. So my task is to use "Begin dbms_application_info.set_client_info('ORG_ID') end;" into BI Publisher query but i dont know ow can i achieve this target. I would appreciate if anyone could help me out on this.
Please note that i am not planning to run the report from Oracle Apps through concurrent program but this report will be imported into OBIEE dashborad for view purpose.
Thanks,
Regards,
AS

Hello Rainer,
As mentioned, i have changed he header section and have removed the package reference from the SQL query and now it is showing some different error: "Please define p_order_number component". If i remove datatrigger and package reference in the first line it works fine. Following are the package and data template:
<dataTemplate name="ShipPacketReport" description="Ship Packet Report" dataSourceRef="IPOVIS" defaultPackage="xx_shpckt_init" Version="1.0">
     <parameters>
          <parameter name="p_order_number" dataType="character" defaultValue="14156"/>
     </parameters>
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="Q1">
               <![CDATA[SELECT order_number, ordered_date, request_date, sold_to_org_id, header_id, shipping_method_code
            FROM oe_order_headers_all
           WHERE ORDER_NUMBER = :p_order_number
         ]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
     <dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="xx_shpckt_init.beforeReportTrigger"/>
</dataTemplate>
Package:
Create or replace package xx_shpckt_init AS
function beforeReportTrigger return boolean;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY xx_shpckt_init
AS
function beforeReportTrigger return boolean as
begin
dbms_application_info.set_client_info('ORG_ID');
return(true);
end;
end;
Please note that i have created a parameter called p_order_number in report except from this data template, and have referred that parameter in the datatemplate and have created a LOV on the same. Is this what creating the problem?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
