GOAL

This document describes the steps required to run the XML Publisher Template Re-
Generator concurrent program.

RTF layout templates are available via the Template Manager. Internally, the
application stores a second copy of these templates in a converted XSL-FO format. It
is this XSL-FO layout template that is used at runtime for generating reports.
Therefore, in case of a significant code change in the RTF parser, it may be required
to run the XML Publisher Template Re-Generator in order to regenerate the internal
XSL-FO templates.

SOLUTION

Perform the following steps to run the XML Publisher Template Re-Generator concurrent
program:

1. Login to the application as <SYSADMIN_user>

2. Responsibility: XML Publisher Administrator
3. Function: Request --> Run
4. Pick the option Single Request
5. Concurrent Program Name: XML Publisher Template Re-Generator
6. Set the parameter Re-Generation Criteria to ALL
7. Click on OK
8. Submit the request

Upon completion, review the generated request log file for any failures that may have
occurred for any specific RTF layout template.
