*When creating a report definition can we select a psquery as data source that has not been registered?
When creating a report definition, you can select a PeopleSoft Query data source that has not yet been registered and that data source is registered automatically once the report definition is saved.
However, all other types of data sources must be registered before they can be associated with a report definition.

Vb.net is product of micro Soft Corporation. it is for developing application programs. Xml is an open standard one. It is for representing data. Xml is not restricted to the particular language. We can use to represent data of any type of application. XML is common one. For business to business communication XML is Best one.
*Does XML Publisher have an ability to use the switching feature of multi-language data entry?
Because XML Publisher uses managed object functionality, you do not have the ability to use the switching feature of multi-language data entry. You can populate related language tables by logging in and establishing a different session language. The related language table for that session can then be populated.
*What are the formats supported by XML Publisher?
It can generate reports in many formats (PDF, RTF, Excel, HTML, and so on) in many languages.
*Briefly Describe XML Publisher?
Oracle has developed a standalone Java-based reporting technology called XML Publisher (XMLP) that streamlines report and form generation. A primary feature of Oracle's XML Publisher product is the separation of the data extraction process from the report layout. XML Publisher provides the ability to design and create report layout templates with the more common desktop applications of Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat, and renders XML data based on those templates.
*What are the implementation steps involved in XML Publisher?
XML Publisher implementation can be divided into the following phases:
Configure XML Publisher.
Register data sources.
Create templates.
Define XML Publisher reports.
Run XML Publisher reports.
Locate and view published XML Publisher reports.
*What are the categories involved XML Publisher security?
XML Publisher security can be separated into three categories:
Defining reports.
Running reports.
Viewing reports.
*What is XML Publisher Business Processes?
XML Publisher menu access is permission list driven and depends on permission list and role assignment. PeopleTools delivers permission list security and roles for XML Publisher report developers and XML Publisher power users.
Permission list PTPT2600 is intended for report developers.
Permission list PTPT2500 is intended for power users and provides access to Query data sources for ad hoc reporting through Query Report Viewer and Query Report Scheduler.
Users assigned to other permission lists and roles, such as permission list PTPT1000, may only have access to the XML Publisher Report Repository.
*File setting relative to the application server?
The -Dxdo.ConfigFile setting is relative to the application server or process scheduler domain directory, which is the current directory when the domain starts up.
*Why Report Category is required?
Report Category is a required attribute on all report definitions and Content Library sub-templates. By assigning a report category, you are actually applying row level security to the data on those components.
*The PeopleCode XML Publisher classes also respect report category settings and read-only access rights.
True
*When do XML Publisher report definition output options are reflected in the output type and output format prompts on the Process Scheduler Request page?
Only when the application process that runs the report is assigned the process type of XML Publisher.
*Use of Report definitions?
Report definitions associate a data source with template files. A data source registers the schema and sample data design files. It is the extracted application fields from the data source files that are placed into the template files to create the final report.
*What is mainly based on Report definition access?
Report definition access is based on user permission list security and roles.
*How is registering Process in Report definition?
When creating a report definition, you can select a PeopleSoft Query data source that has not yet been registered and that data source is registered automatically once the report definition is saved. However, all other types of data sources must be registered before they can be associated with a report definition.
*How can u check the format of an XML output file?
You can check the format of an XML output file by opening it using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). IE opens the file and alerts you to any problems, such as unclosed tags.
*What does Bursting feature do?
Bursting is an optional advanced feature that is only available when reports are run through Process Scheduler and is not intended for real-time online viewing. It is typically used when you are repeating the generation of a templated report layout many times for multiple like sets of data.
For example, generating a batch run on vendor purchase orders or customer invoices. With bursting, you can generate individual report files resulting in separate secured output. For example, generating a file for each vendor, customer or employee.
*From where, Bursted reports must be runned?
Bursted reports must be run from the Query Report Scheduler component.
*What is to be done in order for a schema field to take advantage of the bursting features?
It must be registered with the data source of the report definition.
*What are Sub-templates?
Sub-templates are secondary RTF or XSL templates that are imported by primary RTF or XSL report templates. The primary template accesses the sub-template through the XSL import style sheet feature.The sub-template files are independently stored and are not registered in association with a data source or primary template.
*Template Translation feature is based upon?
The Template Translation feature is based upon standard Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) .xlf file processing. Each report template or sub-template file can have related translation XLIFF files. These XLIFF files include translation units for each content element to be translated.
*Does a template must exist before it can be translated?
Yes, template must exist before it can be translated.
Template translations are not available for template types other than RTF. For a PDF report, there must be multiple PDF templates registered to the report, one for each locale or language as required.
*Do related prompts appear?
If a query is run through Reporting Tools, Query, Schedule Query, the XML Publisher-related prompts do not appear. Only the basic table-formatted query results are generated.
*How to Insert the Image in XML Publisher?
It is advised to use the Microsoft Word Insert menu option to insert the image, as the additional properties that need to be set for the RTF template to correctly generate reports with those images are automatically set by using this method. Additionally, dragging and dropping an image onto a template creates a link to the local machine being used and may cause problems when the report is generated.The user has to be online to access the image referenced in the URL.

*What is E-text?
An E-Text template is an RTF-based template that is used to generate text output for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). At runtime, BI Publisher applies this template to an input XML data file to create an output text file that can be transmitted to a bank or other customer.

*How do you schedule your query, other than Query Report Scheduling?
Through App engine or Peoplecode we scheduling.
