XML Publisher 5.6.2 manual setup on linux

Dear Friends,
For the manual install of XML Publisher 5.6.2 on Application server 10.1.2 which is set for EM Gride control on linux box, I followed up the install manual. I completed the steps in the OC4J 10.1.2 Deployment section, but I could not get the login page!!!. Apache error logs show that it could not find xmlpserver at htdocs.
Thanks in advance.

Tim,
1. If we take out the scheduler role then user can not see the history. We do not want the user to schudle the job but we want him to see all the history. Is there any way?Please advise.
2. How can I pass the xml user name to the SQL in My data set.
Thank you in Advance
Siva

Oracle XML Publisher Java API's showing arabic characters as question marks

Hi All,
I have created a custom xml publisher report. All the setups in xdo.cfg and the fonts have been installed. When i run the report as concurrent program using the XDODTEXE as the executable this report executes fine displaying the arabic characters in the PDF output.
I have integrated this xml report to a OAF page where am getting the output of the arabic characters as ???????
Following is the java code i have used to generate the blob for the xml publisher report.
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"Inside process Template",4);
AppsContext appsContext = ((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext();
String applicationShortName = dataDefApplication;
String dataSourceCode = dataDefCode;
OutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
DataTemplate dataTemplate = new DataTemplate(transaction.getAppsContext(), dataDefApplication, dataDefCode);
//Get Parameters
ArrayList parameters = dataTemplate.getParameters();
//set Parameter Values as ArrayList of oracle.apps.xdo.dataengine.Parameter
Iterator it = parameters.iterator();
while (it.hasNext())
Parameter p = (Parameter) it.next();
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,"Processing Parameters "+p.getName(),4);
if (p.getName().equals("P_AUCTION_HEADER_ID"))
if(AuctionHeaderId != null)
p.setValue(AuctionHeaderId);
else
p.setValue(null);
dataTemplate.setOutput(os);
dataTemplate.processData();
System.out.println(os.toString());
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("SQLException occurred.");
} catch (XDOException e) {
System.out.println("XDOException occurred.");
} catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception (other) occurred.");
byte[] xmlb = os.toString().getBytes();
BlobDomain blob = new BlobDomain(xmlb);
return blob;
Kindly let me if i had missed something.
Thanks

On a related note, I am seeing a couple of different types of 'incorrect' characters based on different NLS_LANG settings.
If it is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8, I get characters like this:
Ø±Ù‚Ù… Ø§Ù„Ù…ÙˆØ¸Ù�
If it is set to ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.AR8MSWIN1256, I get characters like this:
ÑÞã ÇáãæÙÝ
Do any of you know what these characters are?
Thanks for any insight.

XML Publisher Time out setup issue with load balancer

I have a single node install of Oracle Apps 12.0.4. When running an XML report, it completes successfully and I can view the XML report by clicking on the "view output" button.
I have an Oracle Apps 12.0.4 multi-node install with my database and admin tier running on the same box. I also have two app tiers front-ended with a cisco load balancer. In this environment, when I run an XML Report the job completes with a warning. I have reviewed the log file from the Output Post Processor log file and have the below errors.

EXCEL output logo issues in XML Publisher

Hi,
We are using XML Publisher API to generate PDF,EXCEL outputs using Template. While adding image to the template its showing in the pdf output. But not showing in the Excel output. Then i added url:{/Image} in the alt text of the image in template and submitted the report again now able to see the image in excel output. Can you please tell me why its not showing the image in excel by default which is right happening in case of PDF. Iam getting the same issue for HTML outputs generation also. Please tell me what i can do to get the image by default same as the way i am getting in PDF.
Thanks

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your suggession.
I have two OAF versions and i found the xml publisher version from the below java file
$OA_JAVA/oracle/apps/xdo/common/MetaInfo.class
in both 11.5.10 and 12.1.1 OAF versions i am seeing the below line of code
public static final String VERSION = "Oracle XML Publisher 5.6.3";
when i login to the application and went to the About this page option available there
in 11.5.10 i got to see that the version
is XML Oracle XDK Java 9.0.4.0.0 Production
in 12.1.1 version
XML Oracle XML Developers Kit 10.1.3.130 - Production
But as per your seggession from the MOS document 736897.1, i came to know that it is an issue in 5.6.3
Can you please tell me how to find out my xml publisher version in different EBS versions.
I am using Office 2007.
Finally,
in the document i can see that
Applies to:
*BI Publisher (formerly XML Publisher) - Version 11.5 to 12.1 [Release 11.5 to 12.1]*
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Means this issue is not fixed even in 12.1.3.
To resolve this issue,do we need to do the manual image setup like the way menioned in the document 736897.1?
Thanks
Satya

XML Publisher 5.6.3 and Emailing

There has been much discussion on the ability to email requests from EBS and XMLP. I have seen all kinds of work arounds which requires customization.
I have a few questions. I have read that in 5.6.3, there is talk of integrated bursting, and some suggest that you can use bursting to deliver reports via EMAIL, with no customization. Is there trurth to this?
I have also read, that in R12 there is an integrated delivery manager. Is this so?
So, is there any hope for the short term, that Oracle will come out with a integrated solution for 11i that will allow us to deliver reports via Email or other delivery methods without customization or 3rd party software?
Also, is there a link that point to a document that discusses 5.6.3 enhancements?
Thank you
Ira D. Kleiner, MS, MBA

TIM,
WE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SETUP A XML PUBLISHER DOCUMENT SO WE CAN EMAIL FROM THE EBS AFTER IT IS GENERATED.
WE ARE CURRENTLY ON 5.6.2, AND MAY CONSIDER 5.6.3.
WE HAVE BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO EMAIL THE DOCUMENT AFTER IT IS RUN FROM A REQUEST.
I HAVE SEEN MUCH DOCUMENTATION ON THIS, REVIEWED THE USER MANUAL, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND A CONSCISE DOCUMENT THAT DESCRIBES HOW IT IS DONE FROM START TO FINISH. (INCLUDING YOUR BLOG)
I UNDERSTAND WITH 5.6.2 THERE IS SOME CUSTOMIZATION THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PASS THE OUTPUT FROM THE REQUEST TO THE DELIVERY MANAGER USING JAVA AND API'S.
ARE THE SAME REQUIREMENTS FOR 5.6.3, OR IS THERE A INTEGRATED SOLUTION FOR EMAILING DOCUMENTS OUT OF THE E BUSINESS SUITE AFTER RUNNING AN XMLP REPORT?
WE HAVE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE WE ARE SLATED TO GO LIVE WITH THE 11.5.10 UPGRADE WE ARE PLANNING, SO TIMING IS CRITICAL THAT WE FIND A SOLUTION.
THANKS

Xml Publisher Report Without RDF

Hi experts,
I need to customize the seeded XML publisher report.Till now i developed XML publisher reports by developing rdf only. But here i didn't see any rdf for it..
without rdf how we can create the xml publisher report. I need to insert a field in this report where i need to insert this field.
where i found the SQL query for this report.Please help me
Thanks
Ashok

Thank u,
Here I need to customize the Sales Order XSL Template which is a seeded template in Order Management.
and it will execute when user select the actions button-> print and prview .so there is no concurrent program for this.they did the setups for this.
I didn't find any datetemplate for this in data defination window.here I need to change this one as
1.     Update the Report Header to read “Dispatch Note” instead of “ORDERING DOCUMENT”.
2.     Inclusion of logo for each police authority (Open Issue).
3.     Modification to include *“United Kingdom” instead of U.S.* in the free text portion of the PRODUCT section. “United Kingdom” value will be derived from the country specified for the selected organization and not hardcoded.
4.     Footer to include shipment date instead of Sales Order Creation date and the document should be available to print only after Ship Confirm.
5.     Updating the Layout template in the Transaction Type setup, so that it points to the modified layout template.
6.     The modified Dispatch Note document will be included in the Ship Confirm document set and this document set will be included in the respective Ship Confirm rules. This Ship Confirm Rule will be attached in the Shipping parameters tabs for both the organisations. This step would enable the Dispatch Note to be printed automatically after successful completion Ship Confirm process.
I have *.XSD file and .XSL file * .. I don't find any data template in datadefination window to see the SQL query.
I thought now i have to change the *.XSD AND .XSL FILES* is it right? Is there any other solution for this ..
Thanks
Ashok

XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

Hello,
I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Do anyone have a solution for this

List of Manual Setup required for iSetup to work

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan from iSetup development. Based on my interaction with customers and Oracle functional experts, I had documented list of manual setups that are required for smooth loading of selection sets. I am sharing the same. Please let me know if I anyone had to enter some manual setup while using iSetup.
Understanding iSetup
iSetup is a tool to migrate and report on your configuration data. Various engineering teams from Oracle develop the APIs/Programs, which migrates the data across EBS instances. Hence all your data is validated for all business cases and data consistency is guarantied. It requires good amount of setup functional knowledge and bit of technical knowledge to use this tool.
Prerequisite setup for Instance Mapping to work
·     ATG patch set level should be same across all EBS instances.
·     Copy DBC files of each other EBS instances participating in migration under $FND_SECURE directory (refer note below for details).
·     Edit sqlnet.ora to allow connection between DB instacnes(tcp.invited_nodes=(<source>,<central>))
·     Make sure that same user name with iSetup responsibility exists in all EBS instances participating in migration.
Note:- iSetup tool is capable of connecting to multiple EBS instances. To do so, it uses dbc file information available under $FND_SECURE directory. Let us consider three instances A, B & C, where A is central instance, B is source instance and C is target instances. After copying the dbc file on all nodes, $FND_SECURE directory would look like this on each machine.
A => A.dbc, B.dbc, C.dbc
B => A.dbc, B.dbc
C => A.dbc, C.dbc
Prerequisite for registering Interface and creating Custom Selection Set
iSetup super role is mandatory to register and create custom selection set. It is not sufficient if you register API on central/source instance alone. You must register the API on all instances participating in migration/reporting.
Understanding how to access/share extracts across instances
Sharing iSetup artifacts
·     Only the exact same user can access extracts, transforms, or reports across different instances.
·     The “Download” capability offers a way to share extracts, transforms, and loads.
Implications for Extract/Load Management
·     Option 1: Same owner across all instances
·     Option 2: Same owner in Dev, Test, UAT, etc – but not Production
o     Extract/Load operations in non-Production instances
o     Once thoroughly tested and ready to load into Production, download to desktop and upload into Production
·     Option 3: Download and upload into each instance
Security Considerations
·     iSetup does not use SSH to connect between instances. It uses Concurrent Manager framework to lunch concurrent programs on source and target instances.
·     iSetup does not write password to any files or tables.
·     It uses JDBC connectivity obtained through standard AOL security layer
Common Incorrect Setups
·     Failure to complete/verify all of the steps in “Mapping instances”
·     DBC file should be copied again if EBS instance has been refreshed or autoconfig is run.
·     Custom interfaces should be registered in all EBS instances. Registering it on Central/Source is not sufficient.
·     Standard Concurrent Manager should up for picking up iSetup concurrent requests.
·     iSetup financial and SCM modules are supported from 12.0.4 onwards.
·     iSetup is not certified on RAC. However, you may still work with iSetup if you could copy the DBC file on all nodes with the same name as it had been registered through Instance Mapping screen.
Installed Languages
iSetup has limitations where it cannot Load or Report if the number and type of installed languages and DB Charset are different between Central, Source and Target instances. If your case is so, there is a workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Edit AZ_Prevalidator_1.xml to match your target instance language and DB Charset. Zip it back and upload to iSetup repository. Now, you would be able to load to target instance. You must ensure that this would not corrupt data in DB. This is considered as customization and any data issue coming out this modification is not supported.
Custom Applications
Application data is the prerequisite for the most of the Application Object Library setups such as Menus, Responsibility, and Concurrent programs. iSetup does not migrate Custom Applications as of now. So, if you have created any custom application on source instance, please manually create them on the target instance before moving Application Object Library (AOL) data.
General Foundation Selection Set
Setup objects in General foundation selection set supports filtering i.e. ability to extract specific setups. Since most of the AOL setup data such as Menus, Responsibilities and Request Groups are shipped by Oracle itself, it does not make sense to migrate all of them to target instance since they would be available on target instance. Hence, it is strongly recommended to extract only those setup objects, which are edited/added, by you to target instance. This improves the performance. iSetup uses FNDLOAD (seed data loader) to migrate most of the AOL Setups. The default behavior of FNDLOAD is given below.
Case 1 – Shipped by Oracle (Seed Data)
FNDLOAD checks last_update_date and last_updated_by columns to update a record. If it is shipped by Oracle, the default owner of the record would be Oracle and it would skip these records, which are identical. So, it won’t change last_update_by or last_updated_date columns.
Case 2 – Shipped by Oracle and customized by you
If a record were customized in source instance, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
Case 3 – Created and maintained by customers
If a record were newly added/edited in source instance by you, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date of the record in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
Profiles
HR: Business Group => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
HR: Security Profile => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
MO: Operating Unit => Set the Operating Unit name for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Operating Unit onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set if required.
Navigation path to do the above setup:
System Administrator -> Profile -> System.
Query for the above profiles and set the values accordingly.
Descriptive & Key Flex Fields
You must compile and freeze the flex field values before extracting using iSetup.
Otherwise, it would result in partial migration of data. Please verify that all the data been extracted by reporting on your extract before loading to ensure data consistency.
You can load the KFF/DFF data to target instance even the structures in both source as well as target instances are different only in the below cases.
Case 1:
Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
Target=> Loc1, Loc2, Loc3 (Mandate), Loc4, Loc5 and Loc6
If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, Loc4, then locations will be loaded to target instance without any issue. If you do not provide value for Loc3, then API will fail, as Loc3 is a mandatory field.
Case 2:
Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
Target=> Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2
If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3 and Loc4 and load data to target instance, API will fail as Loc3 and Loc4 are not there in target instance.
It is always recommended that KFF/DFF structure should be same for both source as well as target instances.
Concurrent Programs and Request Groups
Concurrent program API migrates the program definition(Definition + Parameters + Executable) only. It does not migrate physical executable files under APPL_TOP. Please use custom solution to migrate executable files. Load Concurrent Programs prior to loading Request Groups. Otherwise, associated concurrent program meta-data will not be moved even through the Request Group extract contains associated Concurrent Program definition.
Locations - Geographies
If you have any custom Geographies, iSetup does not have any API to migrate this setup. Enter them manually before loading Locations API.
Currencies Types
iSetup does not have API to migrate Currency types. Enter them manually on target instance after loading Currency API.
GL Fiscal Super user--> setup--> Currencies --> rates -- > types
Associating an Employee details to an User
The extract process does not capture employee details associated with users. So, after loading the employee data successfully on the target instance, you have to configure them again on target instance.
Accounting Setup
Make sure that all Accounting Setups that you wish to migrate are in status “Complete”. In progress or not-completed Accounting Setups would not be migrated successfully.
Note: Currently iSetup does not migrate Sub-Ledger Accounting methods (SLA). Oracle supports some default SLA methods such as Standard Accrual and Standard Cash. You may make use of these two. If you want to use your own SLA method then you need to manually create it on target instances because iSetup does not have API to migrate SLA. If a Primary Ledger associated with Secondary Ledgers using different Chart of Accounts, then mapping rules should be defined in the target instance manually. Mapping rule name should match with XML tag “SlCoaMappingName”. After that you would be able to load Accounting Setup to target instance.
Organization API - Product Foundation Selection Set
All Organizations which are defined in HR module will be extracted by this API. This API will not extract Inventory Organization, Business Group. To migrate Inventory Organization, you have to use Inventory Organization API under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. To extract Business Group, you should use Business Group API.
Inventory Organization API - Discrete Mfg & Distribution Selection Set
Inventory Organization API will extract Inventory Organization information only. You should use Inventory Parameters API to move parameters such as Accounting Information. Inventory Organization API Supports Update which means that you can update existing header level attributes of Inventory Organization on the target instance. Inventory Parameters API does not support update. To update Inventory Parameters, use Inventory Parameters Update API.
We have a known issue where Inventory Organization API migrates non process enabled organization only. If your inventory organization is process enabled, then you can migrate them by a simple workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Navigate to Organization XML and edit the XML tag <ProcessEnabledFlag>Y</ProcessEnabledFlag> to <ProcessEnabledFlag>N</ProcessEnabledFlag>. Zip it back the extract and upload to target instance. You can load the extract now. After successful completion of load, you can manually enable the flag through Form UI. We are working on this issue and update you once patch is released to metalink.
Freight Carriers API - Product Foundation Selection Set
Freight Carriers API in Product Foundation selection set requires Inventory Organization and Organization Parameters as prerequisite setup. These two APIs are available under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. Also,Freight Carriers API is available under Discrete Mfg and Distribution Selection Set with name Carriers, Methods, Carrier-ModeServ,Carrier-Org. So, use Discrete Mfg selection set to load Freight Carriers. In next rollup release Freight Carriers API would be removed from Product Foundation Selection Set.
Organization Structure Selection Set
It is highly recommended to set filter and extract and load data related to one Business Group at a time. For example, setup objects such as Locations, Legal Entities,Operating Units,Organizations and Organization Structure Versions support filter by Business Group. So, set the filter for a specific Business Group and then extract and load the data to target instance.
List of mandatory iSetup Fwk patches*
8352532:R12.AZ.A - 1OFF:12.0.6: Ignore invalid Java identifier or Unicode identifier characters from the extracted data
8424285:R12.AZ.A - 1OFF:12.0.6:Framework Support to validate records from details to master during load
7608712:R12.AZ.A - 1OFF:12.0.4:ISETUP DOES NOT MIGRATE SYSTEM PROFILE VALUES
List of mandatory API/functional patches*
8441573:R12.FND.A - 1OFF:12.0.4: FNDLOAD DOWNLOAD COMMAND IS INSERTING EXTRA SPACE AFTER A NEWLINE CHARACTER
7413966:R12.PER.A - MIGRATION ISSUES
8445446:R12.GL.A - Consolidated Patch for iSetup Fixes
7502698:R12.GL.A - Not able to Load Accounting Setup API Data to target instance.
Appendix_
How to read logs
·     Logs are very important to diagnose and troubleshoot iSetup issues. Logs contain both functional and technical errors.
·     To find the log, navigate to View Detail screens of Extracts/ Transforms/Loads/Standard/Comparison Reports and click on View Log button to view the log.
·     Generic Loader (FNDLOAD or Seed data loader) logs are not printed as a part of main log. To view actual log, you have to take the request_id specified in the concurrent log and search for the same in Forms Request Search Window in the instance where the request was launched.
·     Functional errors are mainly due to
o     Missing prerequisite data – You did not load one more perquisite API before loading the current API. Example, trying to load “Accounting Setup” without loading “Chart of Accounts” would result in this kind of error.
o     Business validation failure – Setup is incorrect as per business rule. Example, Start data cannot be greater than end date.
o     API does not support Update Records – If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If the API does not support update, then you would get this kind of errors.
o     You unselected Update Records while launching load - If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If you do not select Update Records, then you would get this kind of errors.
Example – business validation failure
o     VONAME = Branches PLSQL; KEY = BANKNAME = 'AIBC‘
o     BRANCHNAME = 'AIBC'
o     EXCEPTION = Please provide a unique combination of bank number, bank branch number, and country combination. The 020, 26042, KA combination already exists.
Example – business validation failure
o     Tokens: VONAME = Banks PLSQL
o     BANKNAME = 'OLD_ROYAL BANK OF MY INDIA'
o     EXCEPTION = End date cannot be earlier than the start date
Example – missing prerequisite data.
o     VONAME = Operating Unit; KEY = Name = 'CAN OU'
o     Group Name = 'Setup Business Group'
o     ; EXCEPTION = Message not found. Application: PER, Message Name: HR_ORG_SOB_NOT_FOUND (Set of books not found for ‘Setup Business Group’)
Example – technical or fwk error
o     OAException: System Error: Procedure at Step 40
o     Cause: The procedure has created an error at Step 40.
o     Action: Contact your system administrator quoting the procedure and Step 40.
Example – technical or fwk error
o     Number of installed languages on source and target does not match.

eg.
i had a <?X_PO_NUM?> in word (either using text field or manually writing this..) and i converted the word doc into pdf using third party s/w..
when i uploaded this template pdf with sample data file using xmlp admin repsonsibility, and tried to preview the output,
substitution is not happening..
the requirement here is, to have some input fields in final PDF output for which report-users should be able to type values in.
for which I assume initial template has to be in PDF itself..
any ideas or pointers will be much appreciated..

To find total number of pages in XML publisher

1. Is there any method to find the total number of pages in BI or XML publisher.
2. Is there any method to to repeat the column(Not rows) on every page.For eg you have table with two columns say "A" and "B" .I want to repeat this B in every page . And A should print only in first page.
3. Is there any method to print a text say "ABC" only on first page footer based on condition.
Thanks
Wazid

Exactly what my requirement is- In my template i have set header and footer page setup as "different first page'" and also printing the user text at the bottom of the last page using <?start@last-page-first:body?> <?end body?>.When i run the template, for multiple pages output user text is displaying at the bottom of the last page that is working fine but for single page output user text is not displaying at the bottom of the page because of the ""different first page'" header and footer.If you have any idea please suggest.

Integrating XML Publisher into an OAF page

Hello,
I'm pretty to new to both OAF and XML Publisher...hoping someone can help me out. I created an OAF page that uses oracle.apps.xdo.oa.common.DocumentHelper to display a PDF. I created my Data Definition and Template, and tested that using concurrent manger.
When I display my OAF page and click a button to view the PDF, the page does not show the PDF. However, when I click on the export button it opens a new window and I can view the PDF no problem.
So I know the XML Publisher document is working, but why doesn't it display in the page?
We are on 11.10.2 applications and 5.6.3 XML Publisher.
Thanks,
Johnnie

Hi Steve,
I tried the approach you mentioned using IFRAME and found that,i am able to get the region in the end of the page, but its displaying the error message "Page not Found".
Can you please let me know, what could be the reason.
Here is my code
In Controller( Process Request):
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
BlobDomain result = (BlobDomain)am.invokeMethod("getXMLData");
pageContext.putSessionValueDirect("XML_DATA_BLOB", result);
// Outputs letter in PDF format inline.
String redirectURL = DocumentHelper.getOutputURL(pageContext,"XXJSDATA","XXJS_SAC_CPD",result.getInputStream(),"RTF",null,"en","US");
OAHTMLWebBean outRegion = (OAHTMLWebBean)createWebBean(pageContext, HTML_WEB_BEAN, null, "IFRAME");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("src",redirectURL);
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("width", "50%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("height", "50%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("title ","XXJS_SAC_CPD");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("name ","XXJS_SAC_CPD");
pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().addIndexedChild(outRegion);
In AM:
/**Get XML Data*/
public BlobDomain getXMLData()
BlobDomain blobDomain = new BlobDomain();
OADBTransaction oadbtransaction = getOADBTransaction();
try
System.out.println("Now Calling Template to get XML Data>>>");
String dataDefCode = "XXJS_SAC_CPD" ;
String dataDefApp = "XXJSDATA";
DataTemplate datatemplate = new DataTemplate(((OADBTransactionImpl)getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(), dataDefApp,dataDefCode );
datatemplate.setOutput(blobDomain.getBinaryOutputStream());
datatemplate.processData();
System.out.println("Got XML Data>>>");
catch(SQLException e)
throw new OAException("SQL Error=" + e.getMessage(),OAException.ERROR);
catch (XDOException e)
throw new OAException("XDOException" + e.getMessage(),OAException.ERROR);

Kindly help.

Error Installing XML Publisher 5.6.3

Hi
I am getting an error when installing XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3. I have installed the Microsoft .NET Framework 2 and JRE 1.5, but after the setup program starts get an error, Unhandled Exception , Error Number 0x800706AA, Description Products, Setup will now terminate.
Checked on forum but couldn't see anything similar.
Anybody have any ideas?

You can use J2SE 1.5.0 if you follow the migration steps from the following note:
Using J2SE Version 5.0 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=304099.1
Apply 4372996 J2SE 5.0 CONSOLIDATED PATCH FOR USE WITH ORACLE EBS 11I
txkrun.pl -script=SetJDKCfg -contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE -runautoconfig=Yes -appspass=apps_password -jdktop=/usr/jdk1.5.0_11
You will want to migrate to 1.4.2 first in order to upgrade to adkeystore.dat for jinitiator certificates to avoid the following error:
Upgrading To J2SE 5.0 Gives adkeystore.dat No Such File Error
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=406675.1
Using J2SE Version 1.4 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, Release 11.5.9 or Higher
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=246105.1
Follow the instructions to migrate the AD utilities off 1.1.8:
/usr/j2se = 1.4.2
cd $AD_TOP/bin
perl $AD_TOPbin/adjavamig.pl java=/usr/j2se contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE
Then regen JAR files will take 5 minutes instead of 60 on 1.1.8 adjava.

How to add different versions of layout in XML Publisher Report?

How to add two versions of layout(RTF) for different languages in xml publisher report template so that user can see the report in two languages? Is that possible?
If so then what is the procedure to do that? Can anyone help in this regard?

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
