Upload BI Publisher PDF output to FND_LOBS table
Hi,
We are using BI Publisher 5.6.3 (embedded in Oracle EBS R12 running on RedHat Linux) to generate some PDF documents (through concurrent request) and need to upload them to FND_LOBS table.
We are aware of PL/SQL API (DBMS_LOBS etc.) which can help to upload but the problem is that the PDF file generated by BI Publisher concurrent request resides on Concurrent Manager node. But if we need to use DBMS_LOBS package to upload the PDF file, same should reside(or be copied) in a directory on database node (ofcourse a DIRECTORY object should be created in DB to read the file from directory). Basically it means that PDF file should be on local file system of database instead of CM node.
