The Oracle XML Gateway provides APIs for use with the Message Designer and for use by the execution engine.
The following APIs are for use with the execution engine:
Package: ECX_STANDARD
Package: ECX_ERRORLOG
procedure perform_xslt_transformation
(i_xml_file in out clob, i_xslt_file_name in varchar2, i_xslt_file_ver in number, i_xslt_application_code in varchar2, i_dtd_file_name in varchar2 default null, i_dtd_root_element in varchar2 default null, i_dtd_version in varchar2 default null, i_retcode out pls_integer, i_retmsg out varchar2);
Used to apply a style sheet to an XML message and return the transformed XML messaged for further processing by the calling environment.
The DTD file name, version, and root element are required input parameters for this API, therefore the associated DTDs must be loaded into the XML Gateway repository. Refer to Loading and Deleting a DTD for details on loading a DTD.
This API is independent of the Message Designer: XSLT Transformation action. This API is not intended for use in a message map.
Note: The profile option ECX_XML_VALIDATE_FLAG must be set to"Y"for this action to be performed. For more information on this profile option, see Define System Profile Options.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| i_xml_file | The XML message to be transformed. |
| i_xslt_file_name | The XSLT style sheet file to be used for the transformation. |
| i_xslt_file_ver | The version of the XSLT style sheet file. The highest version with the same file name and application code is used if no version number is provided. |
| i_xslt_application_code | The name of the subdirectory where the XSLT style sheet is source-controlled (for example: ar/xml/xslt). |
| i_dtd_file_name | The name of the DTD used in the XML message. |
| i_dtd_root_element | The root element of the DTD used in the XML message. |
| i_dtd_version | Version of the DTD used in the XML message. |
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| i_xml_file | The transformed XML message. |
| i_retcode | Return code for the procedure. |
| i_retmsg | Return message for the procedure. |
procedure external_system
(i_outmsgid in raw, i_status in pls_integer, i_errmsg in varchar2 default null, i_timestamp in date, i_errparams in varchar2, o_ret_code out pls_integer, o_ret_msg out varchar2);
Used by both Oracle and non-Oracle messaging systems to report delivery status. The status information is written to the XML Gateway log tables to track and report transaction delivery data.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| i_outmsgid | Message ID maintained by the XML Gateway execution engine for the outbound message delivered by the messaging system. |
| i_status | Message delivery status as reported by the messaging system. |
| i_errmsg | Error messages reported by the messaging system. |

| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| o_ret_code | Return code for the procedure |
| o_ret_msg | Return message for the procedure |
XML Gateway has provided special purpose procedures and functions for use in the Message Designer to perform the following tasks:
Set event details to raise a business event for inbound transactions
Get event details using the event name maintained by the XML Gateway Execution Engine
Perform string manipulations
Get Trading Partner information using the sender's or receiver's Trading Partner ID maintained by the XML Gateway Execution Engine
Get message envelope data for inbound message
Get delivery data for outbound message
Get document logging information for a business document
Set message delivery status
Get System Administrator e-mail address from ECX: System Administrator Email Address system profile
Get sender logical ID from ECX_OAG_LOGICALID system profile
Set Error Exit
Use the Message Designer, Procedure Call or Function Call actions to initiate the APIs.
Important: With the exception of ECX_ERRORLOG.external_system, the procedures and functions in this appendix are meant for use in the Message Designer only and should not be used in any other context.
Most procedures include input and output arguments. You can map a source or target variable to the input arguments. The output arguments can be used in conjunction with the Send Error Message action for warnings or the ECX_ACTIONS.set_error_exit_program API for serious errors to send a notification. The notification may be sent to the Trading Partner contact, the system administrator (identified in the ECX: System Administrator Email Address system profile), or both.
If the successful completion of an API is critical to the success of your transaction, you may wish to use the Exit Program action to terminate the transaction if the API fails to process completely.
The following APIs are described in this section:
Package: ECX_STANDARD
Package: ECX_DOCUMENT
Package: ECX_CONDITIONS
Package: ECX_TRADING_PARTNER_PVT
Package: ECX_ERRORLOG
Package: ECX_ACTIONS
Package: ECX_ATTACHMENT
Package: ECX_ENG_UTILS

Sets event details to raise a business event for inbound transactions.
This is defined at the root level as a post-process action to indicate that an inbound message has been processed. Any event subscription defined in the Oracle e-Business Suite interested in this inbound message will proceed to consume it.
This procedure must be used for all inbound transactions. The argument values vary by transaction with the exception of the confirmation message where the argument values are specific. See How to Implement an OAG Confirmation BoD to see how the event details are defined.

The event name consists of the following components: ORACLE.APPS.<COMPONENT>.<TASK>.<EVENT> where: COMPONENT is based on the internal transaction type entered using the Define Transactions window. It represents the product short code. TASK is based on the internal transaction subtype entered using the Define Transactions window. It represents a description of the object. EVENT is a literal that describes the business function of the message. Following is an example of an Event Name that identifies a confirmation event associated with an outbound purchase order ORACLE.APPS.PO.POO.CONFIRM |

Called by register_attachment API to determine the unique CID for an attachment deposited into FND. This API is exposed for use outside of the register_attachment API context.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| i_file_id | File identifier from the FND_LOBS table used to determine the file_name value from the FND_LOBS table. The file_name is used to compose the x_cid value. |
| i_entity_name | Entity name from the FND_LOBS table used to compose the x_cid value. |
| i_pk1_value | Key value from the FND_LOBS table used to compose the x_cid value. |
| i_pk2_value | Key value from the FND_LOBS table used to compose the x_cid value. |
| i_pk3_value | Key value from the FND_LOBS table used to compose the x_cid value. |
| i_pk4_value | Key value from the FND_LOBS table used to compose the x_cid value. |
| i_pk5_value | Key value from the FND_LOBS table used to compose the x_cid value. |
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| x_cid | A unique identifier for the attachment based on the concatenation of i_entity_name, i_pk1_value, i_pk2_value, i_pk3_value, i_pk4_value, i_pk5_value (which are provided as input to this API), and then adding the file_name value (based n the file_id) from the FND_LOBS table. |
