Xml bursting control file example

You have an option to store the file in the server and email it to a person using XML Bursting. You can do both or one of them. If the email parameter is set to Yes, email it out and also save it just for back up purposes.

You can give the path where you want to store the files. Hope this helps. Question: Suppose I am running my XML report and bursting for 20 Invoices, and out of those 20 invoices, 10 belong to one customer A, 5 belong to customer B, and the remaining 5 belong to different customers. The requirement is that the program needs to send one email per customer with one pdf for each invoice. Customer B should receive one email with 5 attachments, and remaining customer should receive one email each with one attachment.

Can you please let me know how achieve this using the XML bursting? This is a very critical requirement that needs to be completed ASAP. If there are 10 invoices for a customer, instead of having 10 different files, can we have one pdf file with separate pages for each invoice? Or page break at each invoice number level? This will be much easier to implement. One other option is to save the pdfs in the server. And you can use a unix shell script to group all the invoices based on the customer number and send an email.

The bursting will create the pdfs, and once bursting is complete you can use unix script to email the files. You need to be a little creative to get the email id for each customer in this case. I cannot combine invoices into single pdf.

I am trying to avoid another script of program to send the emails out and was wondering if there is any way to do it as part of the bursting itself. This is a good article for Beginers like me.

If we select the delivery type as EMAIL in bursting control file, Does the PDF output files will be stored in server path and then email will be sent to the respective persons or The Bursting Engine simply generate the PDF file and send it to respective persons email at run time without storing the output file anywhere in the server?

The following is a list of the delivery methods that can be used. If you need to support such delivery methods that are not supported by the Bursting Engine today you need to implement that by yourself by calling Delivery Manager directly as a part of Bursting Engine process. You can set multiple Delivery methods as much as you want in a same request.

For example you might want to generate document to be sent by Email and also to be sent to a printer, then you can have both entries here and set a unique id for each delivery option. You can specify the document output format you want to generate the document with and the template you want to apply to the document processing.

Also, you can specify multiple templates as much as you want. You might want to apply different templates based on the value in the input XML file, in such case you can use a Filter function of Bursting Engine and have XPATH expression to do such condition, and have Bursting Engine to pick an appropriate template based on the condition result.

Addition to the above, while the above example is referencing the templates that are located on file system, the Bursting Engine also supports the templates that have been stored in a XML Publisher repository through Template Manager. This file is generated by a Report Concurrent Request and exported under Application Home file system.
