Using XI - RFC table and an Oracle stored procedure that returns a cursor.

Question

I need to create an interface using XI between an RFC table and an Oracle stored procedure that returns a cursor.  We are on oarcle 9.2 and  SP12.
My stored procedure looks something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE testproc_xi2 (p_recordset1 OUT SYS_REFCURSOR,
                                         in_quoteid IN varchar2 )
AS
BEGIN
  OPEN p_recordset1 FOR
   SELECT  q.quote_id,
                 q.modified_by,
                 q.quote_status,
                 q.total_cost
            FROM quote q
           WHERE q.quote_id = in_quoteid
             AND q.total_cost > 0 ; 
END testproc_xi2 ;
My RFC has table and  one import parameter .
I wanted to know how to create the data type for the ref cursor? and also for the table type in the RFC?
CAN XI handle multi rows coming from a Stored procedure? Are there any other alternative methods if this is not supported?Any pointers to this would be helpful.
I have called a Oracle SP from an RFC before, but that interface had one input parameter going to the stored procedure from the RFC and about 6 o/p parameters coming from the Stored procedure. This works fine.
Thanks for the help.

Mala,
i dont think there is anything called an rfc table...RFC stands for remote function call. That in essence would imply you need a rfc to jdbc connection.
yes XI can handle multiple rows cooming from the the stored procedure if you have them mapped appropriately.
Now as to how to create the data type within xi , you need to know what fields are going to be returned and whether they are nested and then just create them as you would for an xml
for ex
<Details>
  <FirstName>
<LastName>
</Details>
that in xi would be smthing like
Details  type of data occurence
FirstName type of data occurence
LastName type of data occurence.
Hope that helps.
If it does dont forget the points..:-)
