- When populating XML files from SCM, LOB Type is defaulted based file extension and file data. When sourcing files files from EBS, LOB Type is defaulted based on file extension. In either case be sure to make sure that LOB Type is appropriate. For example,
- .pdf, .rtf, .xls, .xsl, .xlf files are TEMPLATE
- .xsd and .dtd files are XML_SCHEMA
- You must make sure that values for App Short Name, LOB Code, Territory and Language are correct when sourcing from SCM or EBS. Once you edit the values, make sure to click Evaluate to reevaluate commands and Save your changes after evaluate.
If necessary, you can find values for App Short Name, LOB Code, Territory and Language using following query.
Code Block language sql theme RDark SELECT LOB_CODE, LOB_TYPE, APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME, FILE_NAME, LANGUAGE, TERRITORY, XDO_FILE_TYPE FROM XDO_LOBS
- Ensure the LOB Code of the XML files and Name of the Data Definition (XDO_DS_DEFINITION - AOL) match the LOB Code of the report template, as this is what ties them together. Failure to do so will result in the attachments not appearing under the data definition in EBS.
