To Get the XML file or Request Output file for XML Reports Concurrent Requests.

Get the XML File from a BI Publisher based concurrent request/report:



Get the XML File from a BI Publisher based concurrent request/report:

1.View->Requests
2.Find the request you're interested in
3.Click on Diagnostics button
4.Click the View XML
5.Save the file to your PC by doing File->Save As, *.xml

But where does the XML file get stored.?

Well, by default it is $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/o{REQUEST_ID}.out.

But if that's the XML file, then where does the actual output file reside as the location of the XML file is where normal request output resides?
Get the Request Output File for a BI Publisher based concurrent request/report:

The output is $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/{REPORTNAME}_{REQUEST_ID}_{COUNT}.PDF|RTF|EXCEL|HTML

Where

>  REPORTNAME is the concurrent program short name,
>  REQUEST_ID is the concurrent request ID
>  COUNT is a counter based on the number of times a request has been re-published.
>  One of PDF, RTF, EXCEL, HTML is the file extension/type dependent on the output formats chosen.

An example is: XXXX_FNDSCURS_2803880_1.EXCEL
