I said the other week, when I wrote the first

two

articles about XML Publisher 5.6 Enterprise, that’d I’d come back in a few
days to report on how straightforward it was to put together more complicated
reports. I’ve been delayed since then by putting together the OTN article on XML
Publisher but it’s given me a good opportunity to […]

In yesterday’s article I took a look at the new XML Publisher 5.6 release candidate, and worked my way through the demo reports that it ships with. In today’s article I’ll start looking at the process of creating your own reports and delivering them through XML Publisher 5.6 Enterprise, and to make this all a […]

If you read my postings on XML Publisher 5.5 towards the end of last year (here, here), or sat through the “XML Publisher : What’s It All About” (paper, slides […]

For this last posting on XML Publisher I thought I’d take a look at how
reports are deployed into production. The approach I’ve used so far - build a
report template using the XML Publisher Desktop product, then preview it as a
PDF - is obviously the way that you’d develop and test reports, rather than roll

I’ve continued looking at the Desktop element of XML Publisher today, and
I’ve been thinking about how we get data into XML Publisher. The emphasis is on

and it’s also been used in products such as […]

I’ve put my name forward for doing an XML Publisher presentation at the next BIRT SIG, and as I’ve finished the articles I was writing I’ve got a chance now to start playing around with the product. Over the next few days I’ll be posting updates on how I get on with […]

BIRT SIG, and as I’ve finished the articles I was writing I’ve got a chance now

I’ve been working with Oracle Reports for the past couple of days, and whilst
the product is good the

documentation is pretty poor. The problem with Reports is that it’s a
developer tool, and the documentation is
correspondingly
technical and very, very longwinded. As I finally managed to get reports up
and running and produce some output, including (after some time) […]

A new Oracle product that I initially saw whilst over at Open World, that
sounds like it might be interesting, is "Oracle XML Publisher". According to the
product homepage, "Oracle XML Publisher is a new java
based product available within the technology stack of the E-Business suite.
Utilizing a set of familiar desktop tools such as Adobe Acrobat and […]
