Bursting in XML/ BI Publisher

Saturday, 26 April 2008 16:19 Prasad

E-mail | Print | PDF

In this article i will give an overview of Bursting in BI Publisher (Formerly XML Publisher ) and the Pre requisites to enable Burs ting . Background / Business Requirement for Bursting In Oracle Purchasing we have PO Print Report which can be used to print new or selected Purchase order. Organizations usually schedule this program on a daily basis to print new purchase orders. If we want to integrate this Oracle Report to XML/BI Publisher to create eye candy layouts and email the PO automatically to the suppliers, the common iss ue we face is :How to s plit the XML file created by report ? This is because report will create a single XML file consisting of the all the PO selected and if we apply the template on this XML file , it will create a s ingle PDF file consisting of all the POs , and we definitely dont want purchase orders sent to a supplier which is not related to him .If we have to send PO to individual supplier there has to be a way to parse the XML file generated from the PO Print Report.After pars ing the XML file we can break the XML into smaller chunks based on the PO Number and then email the PO to respective Suppliers.

Advantages of XMLP bursting a. No Additional Coding, just need to create XML bursting File. ( Isn't it exciting , otherwise we would have to write java program to s plit the XML File and then use XMLP delivery manager API to send emails . b. Process of Creating XML data Definition and Template remains AS IS .

Prerequisites a. Apply patch 5968876 if not already applied b. Verify XMLP vers ion is 5.6.3 Steps to Verify if XMLP is indeed 5.6.3 1. adident Header $OA_JAVA/oracle/apps/xdo/common/MetaInfo.class

c. Set Temporary Directory in the XML Publis her Adminis trator- > Adminis tration- > General to a directory to which you have write permission .

d. After the Patch is applied we will s ee a new Bursting control file button in the XML Publisher Data Definition Page To check this, please go to Responsibility "XML Publisher Administrator", and search for any existing report, and click on Update. While updating an existing data-definition, you should see the button Bursting Control File.

Now since we have finis hed setting up , now we will see how to implement Bursting . The major component in this is bursting control file

What is a bursting file ?

Its an XML file which tells bursting engine

a) How to split the XML File created ? b) How to deliver the Documents ?

Lets see a sample bursting file and its components

a) <xapi:request select> tag tells busting engine , bursting should be done at the occurrence of which tag ? b) <xapi:delivery > tag tells bursting engine , which delivery mechanism to be used and on what condition ? Sample bursting file

<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting"> <xapi:request s elect="/xxx_HQ_XML_POXPRPOL/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS"> <xapi:delivery> <xapi:email id="123" server="xxxort" port="25" from=" xxp@xx.org.uk" reply-to=" xx@xx.org.uk"> <xapi:message id="123" to="${CF_VENDOR_EMAIL}" attachment="true" s ubject=" Purchase Order No: ${POH_PO_NUM}"> Please review the attached PO ${POH_PO_NUM} </xapi:mes sage> </xapi:email> </xapi:delivery> <xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="123"> <xapi:template type="rtf" location="/u0350/app/apps/UAT/xx/1.0/data/XXHPAPOPRINT.rtf"> </xapi:template> </xapi:document> </xapi:request> </xapi:requests et> Please Note : While doing testing pleas e change the "to address" to your email address , else it will s end the documents out to that email address . Data Definition Create the Data Definition and Template the normal way, where the Short name of the data definition is same as the short name of concurrent program to which you are integrating XMLP.While creating Data Definition Upload you bursting XML File . If there are any parsing iss ues in the XML file it will give error , please correct the format of the file and try to upload again .

Template File Create the Template and Upload your Template file

Concurrent Program Registeration In the Concurrent Program give the Output fomat as XML and the Concurrent Program Short name should be s ame as the data definition name .

After Report Trigger Changes Now the Final Step , in the After report Trigger of your .RDf add the following code to call bursting program . This will lanuch the bursting program from your report , otherwise you will have to run the Bursting program ( which is a Java Concurrent Program ) manually .

Now you are all set to do the tes ting , run the report , please keep in mind to change "to email address" in the bursting control file to your email id while doing the testing . you will see the PO pdf coming to the email address given in the bursting control file.

Good document
w ritten by Alan Telford , January 29, 2009

Just burst my first BI Publisher report! Thanks for taking the time to write the article. I got a bit hung up on the template location as I'm working in the e-business suite. The solution was to use the following bit of sql select lt.application_short_name || '.' || lt.template_code || '.' || lt.default_language || '.' || lt.default_territory as burst_template_xdo_location from xdo_templates_b lt where lt.template_code like 'MY_TEMPLATE%' then code the location as

Also if you are trying to track down your concurrent request id (for the call to XDOBURSTREP) you can find it in PL/SQL using the profile function FND_PROFILE.VALUE('CONC_REQUEST_ID'); cheers Alan

Question on how to publish the same information content to multiple recipient groups

This is the issue I have. We have 5 number of regions and 10 number of recipient groups with in each region. Therefore I need to publish 50 reports. I am planning to do a row-level filtering based on the region input within the one s ingle report and also hide or show different sections of data using the one template based on the recipient group user input. Now I don't want to run the concurrent programs 50 times to generate and send 50 reports but rather use the bursting control file in some way. At the same time, I don't want the report to be s plit up in any way. Hope this makes sense.

Need to develop mechanism for varying XML Publisher output by instance....

I am facing s ome problem in this issue. Please help me.... I need to develop mechanism for varying XML Publisher output by instance in other words Instance based Output of XML Report Publisher without customizing particular rdf or package. for this we need to call particular template or format that template depend upon Instance name. So we need instance name in XML file but we don't have instance name in that particular XML Data file. How can I add Instance name in rtf template and XML data file without customizing XML Source package or rdf Report to compare that Instance name with current instance name in RTF Template. For example: If Instance name = Production then call watermark of company logo otherwise simple report output. Note: dont have Instance name in XML Data file.
