XML Publisher (Customization of A Seeded Oracle Apps Report)

The document provides instructions to customize the seeded Oracle Applications report "Active Users" to be registered as a new concurrent program that outputs in Excel and tabular format. The key steps are: 1. Identify the seeded concurrent program and copy its .rdf file locally. 2. Modify the .rdf file to have a blank report layout and before/after report triggers. 3. Copy the customized file to the custom reports directory, define a new concurrent executable, and copy the seeded program details to the new one while changing the output format to XML.
