Migrating from 8.96 XML Publisher

The way that XML output is generated in 9.1 BI Publisher for EnterpriseOne is different from how the XML output was generated in the 8.96 release.

See Understanding the XML Output.

Because of this difference, if you are currently using 8.96 XML Publisher, Oracle recommends that you migrate to 9.1 BI Publisher for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

After upgrading to 9.1 follow these steps to convert your 8.96 XML Publisher templates:

  1. From the BI Publisher Object Repository (P95600), download your 8.96 XML Publisher templates.

  2. Create a report definition for each template.

  3. Run each report definition to generate new XML output files.

  4. Open each existing template.

  5. When using Template Builder, from the Data menu, select Load XML Data.

  6. Define each required field from the XML output to the template.

    For all other methods of creating and modifying templates, make the necessary modifications to the templates to recognize the 9.1 BI Publisher document tags.
