XML Publisher/eBS version

Hi,
If I look in the white paper "Publishing Concurrent Requests with XML Publisher" from January 2005 I can on page 9 see that there is a new field in the Submit Request form (Forms environment); "Layout", where you can tell which XML Publisher template the report should use. This fixes the problem that you need to submit two requests, one for the actual report to XML and one for the layout generation.
Does anyone know in which patch level/version on eBS/XML Publisher this new field is added? I have an environment 11.5.10 (unpatched) and there the new field is not visible? Does it come with the 11.5.10 CU2 or what do I have to do get this new field?
Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Please apply patch 3435480, that integrates the XML Publisher concurrent requests into one (instead of running two).On application of this patch, the service request form FNDRSRUN will upgrade itself to the newer version ($Header FNDRSRUN.fmb 115.136 2004/12/10 15:14 jtoruno ship). You will be able to see a new button called 'Options' in the 'Layout' section of the same SR form. This is the place where one selects the 'Template/Output Format' and then submit the request for further processing. We have implemented this with the 11.5.10 CU2 release and then applying the patch.
I hope this helps.
Thx,
Nitin

R12 XML Publisher desktop version

Hi,
I am searching for the XML Publisher desktop version for R12. Is there anyone know?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes this version of template builder is suitable for R12. I would recommend the your download the latest version though from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/publishing/index.html.
The latest version is called :
BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.3.1 for Windows (131 MB)
The latest releases fixes a few bugs in the Template Builder Plug-in for MS Word.
As you are using EBS and not BI Publisher standalone, you will not be able to use the functionality to connect to the BI Publisher server, as this does not exist yet for EBS. For template development purposes, this version will do exactly the same job for BI Publisher with EBS and BI Publisher Standalone.
I hope this helps.

XML Publisher - EBS Applications Menu

Is there a way to create an XML Publisher report in Oracle Applications and then provide it as a menu item on the Applications menu for a specific responsibility? Also, will XMLP reports that use the secure views in Oracle HCM Applications be restricted for users who access them through the apps menu?
I am considering use of XMLP to create reports for one of the self-service HCM applications.
Thanks.

Hi,
If you use the secured views when you are writing the report then your data should be restricted accordingly. I haven't tried with HCM but it definitely works with the standard Operating Unit security.
Thanks

XML Publisher (EBS) Bursting and Group By

I have a feeling I already know the answer to this question, but maybe not and there is a way around it. I'm using the seeded report Deposit Advice XML from EBS, and I copied it so I can use bursting. Here is my problem. The xml is not grouped by the way we need it so when I burst it it will either email us the full file or each person in a separate email.
Here is what I'm TRYING to accomplish. Is there a way in the Bursting Control File to have records grouped, the bursted (either by print/email etc).
For example I would like to have all organizations_id in ('100','101,'102') grouped into one file then emailed. I don't think this is possible without changing the original xml file and since it's seeded and spawned thats not going to happen. It does filter the records and email me each person separately. But that's because the XML is formatted that way.
Any ideas?

I figured it out
in your select if you want to group your output by say Organization_id change your select in your burst file to the following
<xapi:request select="/PAYSLIP_REPORT/PAYSLIP/EMPLOYEE_DETAILS/ORGANIZATION_ID">

Difference between BI publisher and XML Publisher(EBS)

I have created some reports in BI Publisher and integrated in dashboards.
Now can i embed the same reports in E Business suite as concurrent programs. Is BI Publisher desktop is specific to Business intellgence or can we use it for E Business suite.
If BI Publisher is same as XML Publisher. I will get both xml source and template in BIP itself. How can we integrate BIP report with concurrent program.
I am a bit confused, excuse me if i am silly.

BI Publisher is same as XML Publisher. ==>. It got renamed.
In E Business suite, we can use BI publisher.
BI Publisher desktop is just to create layout from desktop.
if you want to register a same report in E Business suite as concurrent programs,
then there are different method,
1. use datatemplate
2. use rdf
3. pl/sql
4. java
and go through the doc's..

How Can I apply a RTF Function on a variable in RTF Template in XML Publisher Report

Hi Everyone,
I am developing a RTF Template of XML Publisher Report, I have a variable lv_counter which I can declare using below syntax
<?xdoxslt: set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'lv_counter',0)?>
I can access this variable in the template as <?xdoxslt: get_variable($_XDOCTX,'lv_counter')?>
My need is to print the variable in words in the RTF Template. I am using <?xdofx: to_check_number(xdoxslt: get_variable($_XDOCTX,'lv_counter'))?>
But this is not working. any help will be appreciated thanks in advance
The XML Publisher Desktop version which I am using is 10.1.3.3.0
Please let me know where I can post this question, if this is not the appropriate discussion forum.

XML Publisher Enterprise Installation

I installed Xml Publisher Enterprise version 5.6.2 to our test PC with its own oracle home as c:\ora_xmlp. The installation ran successfully. But when I ran xmlpserverstart.bat, it stopped at the line: "Oracle containers for J2EE log (10.1.3.0) initialized..." and didn't go on. Should I use the same path as oracle database or application server?
Please help, Thanks.
- Jessie

Hi Jessie.
That's what it's supposed to do. That message means the OC4J engine started properly. Now you can access the application by going to:
http://localhost:15101/xmlpserver
unless you changed anything in the install (which I'm assuming from the formulation of your note is nothing).
Cheers,

Is XML-publisher available on EBS version 11.5.9?

Is XML-publisher available on EBS version 11.5.9?

Yes, but you have to apply certain patches. Patches 3263588 and 4302733 did we apply. This was about 2 years ago we did it so there may be new numbers.
Cheers..Daniel

XML Publisher Report Fails While using Pivot Table in R12 Oracle EBS

Hello All,

Add XML Publisher Administrator responsibility with EBS 11.5.9

Hi all !
I'm exploring the possibility to use XML Publisher inside Oracle E Business Suite 11.5.9. because...unfortunately it's not possible to upgrade EBS to the 11.5.10 version
I found a note on the forum which says: "Starting from 11.5.9 the XMLP is bundled with Apps. You just need to add XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to your profile, and install MS Word template builder on your PC".
So...my questions are:
1) how can I add the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to my profile ? Should I set up something (already existing into EBS), or should I install a patch ?
2) how can I know the XML Publisher version bundled within Apps (if what is written inside that note it's true), 'cause I'd like to use the 5.6.3 version
Also, I looked for a solution on Metalink and the only note regarding how to use XML Publisher inside E Business Suite 11.5.9. is the note id 278727.1 (even I should install the 4.5 XML Publisher version - TOO OLD)
Thanks in advance
Alessandro

Hi Ravi thanks for you answer !
So....I tried to create the responsibility from scratch, because nothing is defined for XML Publisher, in this way (from the OA System Administrator):
Responsibility Name: XML Publisher Administration
Application: XML Publisher
Responsibility Key: XDO_ADMINISTRATION
.....but inside the Data Group area
Name : Standard
Application: ?
....and inside the Menu area which information should I write ?
Is there something to follow in order to create from scratch a XML responsibility ?
Thanks again
Alex

Please guide me which document I have to follow to get Executable XDODTEXE.

Custom XML Publisher Reports in EBS 11.5.10.2 Fails Randomly

Hi Experts,
I have a Custom XML PUblisher Report Concurrent Program in EBS 11.5.10.2.
The Report fails randomly with a Warning. I get the following error,
[11/21/08 12:17:21 PM] [UNEXPECTED] [915997:RT3085490] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /u01/PROD/prodcomn/admin/out/PROD_irl-dub-finmdt-01/o3085490.out (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106)
at oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.XMLPublisherProcessor.process(XMLPublisherProcessor.java:229)
at oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.OPPRequestThread.run(OPPRequestThread.java:153)
As you can the OPP fails to find the o3085490.out file in the $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT directory and actually the file is not there in the unix box on that location.
If the same report is submitted again it Works fine, But not at all times.. some of them fails with the above error message.
Any pointers to solve this one.
Regards

Hi,
We are on Multi-node set up with two middle-tiers with a load balancing option Yes.
The XML Publisher Version is 5.6.0. Is it required to move to 5.6.3 ?
Please find a detailed explaination of the issue.
Issue
XML Publisher Reports Fails Randomly in Production
Detailed Explaination
XML Publisher Reports submitted in Production completes with Warning. You can say 1 out of 4 requests submitted in a sequence will fail.
The Log message of the COncurent Program is something like this,
------------- 1) PUBLISH -------------
Beginning post-processing of request 3091786 on node IRL-DUB-FINMDT-01 at 23-NOV-2008 15:36:58.
Post-processing of request 3091786 failed at 23-NOV-2008 15:36:58 with the error message:
One or more post-processing actions failed. Consult the OPP service log for details.
Checking the Output Post Processor Log gives the following message
[11/23/08 6:25:01 PM] [UNEXPECTED] [925353:RT3092523] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /u01/PROD/prodcomn/admin/out/PROD_irl-dub-finmdt-01/o3092523.out (No such file or directory)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
     at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106)

     at oracle.apps.fnd.cp.opp.OPPRequestThread.run(OPPRequestThread.java:153)
Its evident from the message the output file for the request is not generated.
Some Findings to pass on to Version 1
1. Report in not picked up for execution in this case as even the first statement is not executed and there is no oracle session and os process asscociated with it.
I enabled trace and the trace was generated only for the successful ones and it was never generated for the ones completed with warning.
2. The below query gives no values for the failed concurrent request, where as all successful ones have valid values.
SELECT oracle_process_id,oracle_session_id,os_process_id
FROM fnd_concurrent_requests
WHERE request_id = 3091786

Migration of our reports from Streamserve to XML publisher in Oracle EBS

Dear All,
I am working for a company using Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 and we have several critical reports developped with Streamserve V3 (Customer Invoice , Sales Order Acknowledgment, Shipping Advice, PO layout, ...).
For various reasons we plan to abandon Streamserve and migrate to XML publisher or BI publisher whose functionalities seem to cover most of our needs.
However, my knowledge of XMLP/BIP is quite basic and I need some information on how to implement the reports.
I will be very glad and grateful if someone accepts to share his/her experience by answering a few questions :
1) What are the main differences between the XML publisher version included in APPS 11.5.10.2 and the standalone version of BI publisher ?
2) In most of our reports the language depends on the third party (vendor, customer, carrier, ...) so in the same report batch we can have some documents to be printed in English, while some other should be in French.
Is it possible to achieve that with XMLP or is the language to be chosen when submitting the concurrent request ?
3) As for languages, the delivery of the document (email or printed paper) depends also on the third party.
Is it possible in a same batch to have some documents emailed and other not ?
4) The bursting engine seems to be the main solution to manage the way documents are delivered.
a) How can we automatically launch it after the main request completion ? (most of our reports are scheduled to run periodically)
b) Is it possible to make bursting with a dynamically generated control file ?
c) What if the bursting engine does not couver all our needs ? Is there a way to develop our own deliver logic ? If so, where to find a step by step procedure to achieve that ? (knowing that we are newbies in Java language)
5) Some of our reports must be generated in PCL rather than PDF. I think that is not native in XMLP so what may be the workaround ?
Thanks in advance for your very helpfull answers.
Best regards
Karim Helali
Paris, France

Thank you Steven for your quick reply.
Here are my comments/precisions :
1) What we would like to konw is what are the functionnalities included only in that standalone version. This way we can decide if it is worth paying the quite expensive extra licence for BIP or if the EBS version of XMLP is enough for us.
I tried out to find this quite basic information without success. If anyone can indicate an oracle reference document
2) I know that the language is chosen via the template. Also, when you submit an XMLP concurrent request in EBS you have to choose which template to apply for the layout. So it looks like it is not posssible within a unique concurrent request to generate documents in more than one language. Is it so or am I missing something ?
3) Regarding documents multiple delivery management, I undertsand that we can do it either with bursting engine or with specific JAVA code implementing XMLP APIS. Even we are newbies in JAVA, we can deal with that. But I am quite puzzled as I find nowhere a document that explains how to develop that and especially how to integrate this within EBS.
Let me explain you our current logic with Streamserve and let me know how this can be implemented within XMLP :
- a report is setup in EBS as Executable type = SqlPlus / Output Type=PDF
- the SQLPLUS scripts takes into account the user request's parameters and generate an XML(like) file including all the data
- at the end the SQLPLUS calls a specific shell that runs the Streamserve step : the XML file is passed to the specific streamserve binary report wich generates several outputs (global PDF for the concurrent request output + global PCL flow sent to the printer queue + 0-n physical file(s) for archiving + 0-n email(s) sent ...)
- The language and delivery modes are not unique within a batch: they are decided per document in the streamserve binary report (based on third party setup included in the XML data file). So we don't need to launch a report batch per language or delivery mode.
I think such process should be possible using XMLP java APIS but I am quite stuck as I don't know how to start. Has anyone implemented such a global process in EBS with XML ?
Thanks again
