You can run the Extract XML Publisher process directly from the Concurrent Manager to create an output file without first processing a system extract. This is useful if you want to merge the same XML data with two or more different templates, for example, a report and a form letter. This prevents you from having to run the system extract twice, which can be time-consuming for a large extract.

You run processes from the Submit Requests window.

   To run the Extract XML Publisher process:

1. Select Extract XML Publisher in the Name field.

2. Enter the Report Application ID of the template. This is the ID under which you registered the template in Oracle XML Publisher, for example, PER or PQH.

   The application filters the list of available templates based on the ID you enter.

3. Select the Template.

4. In the XML File with Path field, enter the directory path and file name of the XML extract you created.

5. In the Output File with Path field, enter the directory and file name of the PDF file you are creating.

6. Click OK to close the Parameters window.

7. Select the Output Type of the file you are generating.

   You should select an output type that corresponds to the template you created in Oracle XML Publisher.

8. Click Submit
