Mark Rittman has a great XML Publisher article available on OTN.
PeopleSoft Enterprise will integrate XML Publisher in PeopleTools 8.48, so it'll be a good idea to start getting familiar with it.
Part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware family of products, Oracle XML Publisher 5.6.2 is a Java-based product that gives you the ability to define, publish, secure and schedule reports built using SQL and XML data sources. Originally developed as a technology within E-Business Suite, Oracle XML Publisher is now available for download from eDelivery as a stand-alone product, and can be deployed using J2EE application servers such as Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J) or Apache Tomcat. Best of all, XML Publisher uses familiar desktop tools such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat to define report layouts, meaning that users can design their reports in a familiar environment without having to install and learn a whole new toolset.

When I run XML publisher reports frequently I get out of memory error.How to resolve it and why we encounter it.As far as I know it can be due to low memory but my server is of 4GB,Zero-height ole object,memory allocated to reports not been realesed(I feel this could be the reason but how to resolve this),due to Queries (but my queries in the AppEngine execute pretty fast).
Thanks in Advance

can it read vendor files in other formats or just XML? Can it report and give a salary increase to only ten % of a company with 10,000 employees? Man there is a lot I would like to know about XML Publisher. Can it denormalize many tables an report on them. Other than that nice blog man and thanks for the info...I'll check back soon.
