OIC ERP - How to select a Layout while invoking BI Report | use of attributeTemplate of ExternalReportWSSService

Usecase: Sometimes we have a requirement that we have a BI report with Multiple layouts like RTF, XML, CSV etc and we would like to select specific layout to generate the output.

In the below , we can see we have two layouts 

Solution steps:

Use layout name to attributeTemplate element to select the layout to generate report .

Sample payload:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:pub="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/service/PublicReportService"> 

<soap:Header/> 

<soap:Body> 

<pub:runReport>

 <pub:reportRequest> <pub:attributeTemplate>CONTROL</pub:attributeTemplate> <pub:reportAbsolutePath>/Custom/INTEGRATION/AP_Invoice_Import_Summary_Report.xdo</pub:reportAbsolutePath> <pub:sizeOfDataChunkDownload>-1</pub:sizeOfDataChunkDownload> </pub:reportRequest> 

</pub:runReport> 

</soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

If you want to use another layout, you can change the layout name in the payload.
