1.Creating Custom Application: Navigation System Administrator->Application->Register

2.Registering Concurrent Program Navigation System Administrator->Program -> Define

See the Program is Registered in the Custom Application ABC Custom and Executable name is XDODTEXE and Output Format XML.




3.Creating Data Definition Navigation XML Publisher Administrator->Home->Data Definitions->Create Data Definition N.B : Data Definition Short code Must Match your Concurrent Program Short Code

4.Attach Data Template Here we need to attach the Data Source (xml) File.




5.Attach the XML File

Click Apply




The XML Data Source File Content Screen Shot After Attaching File




6. Now we need to attach RTF Navigation XML Publisher Administrator -> Home -> Template->Create New Template

RTF File Screen shot:

N.B : You can give any short code to Template but You should attach the Correct Data Definition. Now the XMLP Report is Ready for Execution.




7.Now we should also have a look at migration of the same Migration of the same comprise of several steps :

a) Prequisites for Migration b) LDT Commands for Migrating AOL Objects c) XDO Loader Commands to Load Physical files ( XML , RTF ) files in this case.

Prequisities for Migration

a) Download all LDT Files for AOL Objects as well as physical files

b) Make sure to move the Physical files to a specific location in the unix box. Preferably it should be placed in $CUSTOM_TOP/publisher/templates. By default this folder may not exist you should create one then. Place your RTF and XML file in this location.

LDT Commands to Download AOL Objects

1. FNDLOAD Command for Concurrent Program FNDLOAD $CLIENT_USERNAME/$CLIENT_PASSWORD 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct ABC_PO_REPORT_CP.ldt PROGRAM APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME = ABCCUST CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME = ABC_PO_REPORT

2. FNDLOAD Command for Data Definition and Template FNDLOAD $CLIENT_USERNAME/$CLIENT_PASSWORD 0 Y DOWNLOAD $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct ABC_PO_REPORT_DD.ldt XDO_DS_DEFINITIONS APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME = ABCCUST DATA_SOURCE_CODE = ABC_PO_REPORT TMPL_APP_SHORT_NAME=ABCCUST TEMPLATE_CODE=ABC_PO_REPORT_RTF

3. XDOLOAD Command to Download Data Definition File java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader DOWNLOAD DB_USERNAME $CLIENT_USERNAME DB_PASSWORD $CLIENT_PASSWORD -JDBC_CONNECTION (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=$HOST_NAME)(PORT=$PORT))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=$SERVICE_NAME))) LOB_TYPE DATA_TEMPLATE LOB_CODE ABC_PO_REPORT APPS_SHORT_NAME ABCCUST LANGUAGE en TERRITORY US lct_FILE $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct

4. XDOLOAD Command to Download Layout Template

java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader DOWNLOAD DB_USERNAME $CLIENT_USERNAME DB_PASSWORD $CLIENT_PASSWORD -JDBC_CONNECTION (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=$HOST_NAME)(PORT=$PORT))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=$SERVICE_NAME))) LOB_TYPE TEMPLATE LOB_CODE ABC_PO_REPORT_RTF APPS_SHORT_NAME ABCCUST LANGUAGE en TERRITORY US lct_FILE $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct




N.B : ABCCUST Application Short Name -DB_USERNAME = Apps Username -DB_PASSWORD = Apps Pasword( Database password for apps user) -JDBC_CONNECTION = Connection Details ( TNS Entry) -LOB_TYPE = AOL Type for XML Objects -LOB_CODE = Short Code -Language = Language for Data Definition /RTF . For English use en -TERRITORY = Geographical Location. For United States use US -lct_FILE = Configuration File LDT Commands to Upload AOL Objects

a) LDT Command to Upload AOL Definition for Concurrent Program FNDLOAD $CLIENT_USER_NAME/$CLIENT_PASSWORD 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpprog.lct ABC_PO_REPORT.ldt

b) LDT Command to Upload AOL Definition for Data Definition and Layout Template FNDLOAD $CLIENT_USER_NAME/$CLIENT_PASSWORD 0 Y UPLOAD $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct ABC_PO_REPORT_DD.ldt Where ABC_PO_REPORT_DD.ldt is the ldt file name for Data Definition

c) XDOLOADER Command to Upload Data Source File java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader UPLOAD DB_USERNAME $CLIENT_USERNAME DB_PASSWORD $CLIENT_PASSWORD -JDBC_CONNECTION (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=$HOST_NAME)(PORT=$PORT))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=$SERVICE_NAME))) LOB_TYPE DATA_TEMPLATE LOB_CODE ABC_PO_REPORT XDO_FILE_TYPE XML FILE_NAME ABC_PO_REPORT.xml APPS_SHORT_NAME ABCCUST LANGUAGE en TERRITORY US lct_FILE $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct

d) XDOLOADER Command to Upload Template Layout

java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader UPLOAD DB_USERNAME $CLIENT_USERNAME DB_PASSWORD $CLIENT_PASSWORD -JDBC_CONNECTION (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=$HOST_NAME)(PORT=$PORT))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=$SERVICE_NAME))) LOB_TYPE TEMPLATE LOB_CODE ABC_PO_REPORT_RTF XDO_FILE_TYPE RTF FILE_CONTENT_TYPE application/rtf FILE_NAME ABC_PO_REPORT.rtf APPS_SHORT_NAME ABCCUST LANGUAGE en TERRITORY US lct_FILE $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct
