Developing XML Report Using PLSQL Procedure in Oracle Apps

Develop an XML/BI Publisher report from a PL/SQL stored procedure in Oracle Apps by: 1) creating a PL/SQL package to generate XML from a query, 2) creating an executable to call the procedure, 3) creating a concurrent program attached to the executable, 4) creating a request group to submit the program, 5) registering a BI Publisher template mapped to the XML output, and 6) submitting requests to generate PDF reports from the template.

Developing XML/BI Publisher report based on PL/SQL Stored Procedure in Oracle Apps

Steps for Developing XML/BI Publisher report based on PL/SQL Stored Procedure
1. Develop PL/SQL program in DEV instance of Oracle Apps as per user requirements by using
SQL*Plus or TOAD or any other Oracle database Client
Example:
Package Name: XXJS_PLSQL_XML_PKG
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE xxjs_plsql_xml_pkg
AS
PROCEDURE xxjs_main_proc (x_errbuf
OUT VARCHAR2, x_retcode
END xxjs_plsql_xml_pkg;
/

OUT NUMBER);

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY xxjs_plsql_xml_pkg


AS
PROCEDURE xxjs_main_proc (x_errbuf
OUT VARCHAR2, x_retcode
OUT NUMBER)
IS
l_qryCtx DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
l_result CLOB;
l_no_rows NUMBER;
BEGIN
FND_FILE.put_line (FND_FILE.LOG, 'XML Generating Started ..................................');
l_qryCtx :=DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext (
'SELECT * FROM all_objects WHERE object_type=''TABLE'' AND object_name LIKE ''GL_JE
%''');
LOOP
-- save the XML into the CLOB field
l_result := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML (l_qryCtx);
EXIT WHEN DBMS_XMLGEN.getNumRowsProcessed (l_qryCtx) = 0;
-- store the XML as an output
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_result);
END LOOP;
DBMS_XMLGEN.closeContext (l_qryCtx);
FND_FILE.put_line (FND_FILE.LOG, 'XML Generating End ..................................');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Errors: ' || SQLERRM);
END xxjs_main_proc;
END xxjs_plsql_xml_pkg;
/
2. Create Executable for the report (XXJSPLSXMLREP)
Navigation: System Administrator or Application Development > Concurrent > Executable
Executable: XXJSPLSXMLREP
Short Name: XXJSPLSXMLREP
Application: XXJS Custom Application
Description: My Custom Report Using PL/SQL & BI Publisher
Executable Method: PL/SQL Stored Procedure
Executable File Name: XXJS_PLSQL_XML_PKG.XXJS_MAIN_PROC
3. Create Concurrent Program and attach this executable to this concurrent program and define
parameters if required
Navigation: System Administrator or Application Development > Concurrent > Program

Program: My Custom Report Using PL/SQL & BI Publisher


Short Name: XXJSPLSXMLREP
Application: XXJS Custom Application
Description: My Custom Report Using PL/SQL
Executable Name: XXJSPLSXMLREP
Output Format: XML
4. Create Request Group or Attach Concurrent Program to existing Request Group
Navigation: System Administrator > Security > Responsibility > Request
Search Request Group (Ex. Applications: XXJS Custom Application) and Add created concurrent
program on Name
5. Log in to Oracle Apps by your user
Navigation: XXJS Custom Application > View > Request
Submit New Request for concurrent program "My Custom Report Using PL/SQL & BI Publisher"
After Completion, Click on Output button and save output into your local PC as .xml file (test.xml)
6. Create Template file using BI Publisher (XML/BI Publisher must be installed on local PC to create
template file)
i. Lunch MS Word & Load XML file (test.xml)
Navigation: MS Word > Add-Ins > Data > Load XML Data
ii. Create tabular report
Navigation: MS Word > Add-Ins > Insert > Table/Forms > Wizard
Here create tabular report using wizard and save it as XXJSPLSXMLREP.rtf
7. Register this template using XML Publisher Administrator
i. Create Data Definition (Navigation: XML Publisher Administrator> Data Definition > Create
Data Definition)
Name: My Custom Report Using PL/SQL & BI Publisher
Application: XXJS Custom Application
Code: XXJSPLSXMLREP
ii. Create Template (Navigation: XML Publisher Administrator> Data Definition > Create Data
Definition)
Name: My Custom Report Using PL/SQL & BI Publisher
Application: XXJS Custom Application
Default File: XXJSPLSXMLREP.rtf (need to upload this file)
Default File Language: English
Code: XXJSPLSXMLREP
Data Definition: My Custom Report Using PL/SQL & BI Publisher
Default Output Type: PDF
8. Log in to Oracle Apps
Navigation: XXJS Custom Application > View > Request
Submit New Request for concurrent program My Custom Report Using PL/SQL & BI Publisher
