Hi,

Yes, I thought the article was informative, although I’m having an issue running the concurrent program as a request. But I also would like to know how to use the MO table views. I see from some of the XML pkg reports that are included with R12.1.1 that the fnd user exits used in the oracle reports have been commented out. So, how do we keep MO security and how do we access the MO views?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you for this article. In method one can we not make a change to the XML to accomodate the new item or modification in query? I have used method one successfully to convert a custom RDF in the Oracle Apps.

I am confused as to what the difference is between method one and method two. When would we use method one and when would we use method two.

Thanks,
Zakia

I’ve created a check print report using XML publisher. It turned out well and looks really nice. The problem i’m having is when I print more than 10 pages, a mysterious page break shows up. Only 2/3rds of the check will print and then the rest will print on the next page. Not really sure what to do here.

Hi Sarfraz,
There are a few problems.
1. Your XML is not a usable XML for BI Publisher Desktop.
Your XML is neither a converted RDF nor a Data XML. It contains HTML and other things.
Thats why you have problems opening the XML in BIP Desktop in Word 2007!
What you need to do is a few things:
A) Convert the RDF to XML format using the Migration utility. Depending on the complexity of your XML file you may have to adjust and change this XML because it may have errors. B) once you have done that you can upload this XML into Oracle Apps Template as a Data Template.
C) Then you must generate an XML output file (this is a XML with data) from your report in APPS.
D) This is the file you use in your BI Publisher Word2007 Desktop tool to create a RTF.
When you have done all this then you can change you Concurrent program to use the XML Template you have made in step A and B. GoodLuck.

Hello Mr. Kasper Kombrink,

I am using Oracle EBS 12i. I have successfully installed everything and generated the xml file. I have also successfully installed the BI publisher add-in. I generated a custom report in the xml output format and saved the output to my local machine but when i load the xml in the bi publisher it says that data loaded successfully but no data is showing in MS Word 2007. Since no data is showing i cannnot proceed further to format it or do anything with it. Can you please help me? Can anyone please help me?
here is a screen shot of my problem

This blog does not explain how to extract data from ebs by bi publisher. It only explain that you need to produce a xml data source by running a oracle report. so its ebs quering the database and not bi.

How do you query a multi-org view in EBS from within BI Publisher. For example “select * from ap_invoices”?
