Oracle Apps Knowledge Sharing

As we all know, that BI publisher engine is written in Java. Further, Oracle has shared us a set of public Java API’s to invoke document processor.

Pre-Requisite:

Implementation

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.io.OutputStream;

import java.security.*;

import java.util.Arrays;

import java.util.Collections;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;

import javax.xml.transform.*;

import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;

import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;

import org.w3c.dom.Document;

import org.w3c.dom.Node;

import java.io.*;

import java.security.spec.*;

import oracle.apps.xdo.batch.DocumentProcessor;

public class callBIPublisher {

  public static void main(String[] args)

  {

    try

    {

      // arg0 --- File path of the Document Processor Parameter XML

      // arg1  --- Temporary Directory path

      DocumentProcessor  docProcessor = new DocumentProcessor(args[0], args[1]);

      docProcessor.process();

    }

    catch(Exception e)

    {

        e.printStackTrace();

       System.exit(1);

    }

    System.exit(0);

  }

 }

javac -classpath $CLASSPATH callBIPublisher.java

                cp callBIPublisher.class $JAVA_TOP

xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
     <xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi">
       <xapi:request>
         <xapi:delivery>
           <xapi:filesystem output="report.txt" /> 
         </xapi:delivery>
         <xapi:document output-type="text">
           <xapi:template type="etext" location="ETEXTTEMPLATE.rtf">
             <xapi:data location="INPUTDATAXML.xml">
    </xapi:data>
           </xapi:template>
         </xapi:document>
      </xapi:request>
    </xapi:requestset>

Testing:

Step1: Call the java wrapper class callBIPublisher with parameter file

               java -classpath $CLASSPATH callBIPublisher PARAMETERXML.xml .

Now, the mentioned command can be called from a host based concurrent program. I hope this helps !!  Happy Sharing
