Hi Oracle XML Publisher, I'm looking for a high-level picture of how things work. It's not clicking for some reason.
so I start out with the sample XML file, and this is my data template. And the final goal is to get a nice PDF output.
But everything in between is fuzzy to me. What is the difference between a request set and a request group? Especially the administration part - what is the sinificance of the administrative roles, etc.
I found decent tutorial here ( http://oraclebisolutions.blogspot.in/2012/12/creating-reports-in-oracle-e-business.html ) , but still a bit lost.
I realize this is a bit broad, if somy apology . I hope to answer it myself asap
A request set is a collection of concurrent programs - for instance a request set might do a sql_load to put data into a table, then run a package to work on that data. You can schedule the request set rather than worry about the individual parts. A request group is to do with access rights - it says which concurrent programs, request sets etc you are allowed to run. You attach a request group to a responsibility.
