Hi,
we are new in jde and xml publisher. I'am searching for a step by step tutorial to create a xml-publisher-report from a jde-standard-report.
The Questions are:
- extract xml-templates from a jde-standard-report
- transfer the xml-template to ms-word
- transfer the modified ms-word output back to jde
- join the xml-report with the jde-standard-report
a.s.o
thanks

You have a tutorial in the Enterpriseone Tools 8.97 Documentation, that you can download on Oracle Website.
You have to install BI Desktop Publisher to get the toolbar in Word and Excel.
Basically here are the steps :
- create a blank RTF template file
- create a XML Publisher Object referring to this file
- create a Report Definition Object describing what to make of the template, and the resulting report, and linking to the XML Publisher Object.
-Submit the Report Definition.
-Get the XML Output in the submitted jobs
- Import the XML Data Structure in Word using the BI Publisher Toolbar. Create your report, here is a tutorial :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/demos/XMLP_BAL_LETTER.htm
- Re upload the new RTF File and update the xml publisher object.
- Update the Report Definition.
- Submit the Report Definition again.
i managed to get the XML File and create the report and preview it.
But I didnt personnally manage to get the "beautiful" reports on submission of the report definition, so maybe I am missing somewhere.
The only way for me to get the "beautiful" reports is to import after each submission the XML File and preview my template using this data source.
