Use of XML as a primary data format is spreading rapidly. Combining Oracle® XML Publisher with HP Output Server creates an output management system that can effectively process and reliably deliver XML-formatted output to print, fax, email, web, and other output destinations. More and more organizations are turning to XML as a medium to solve interoperability issues because data presented in XML is self-describing, and thus more easily understood by different systems. This paper describes a real-life implementation of HPOS and Oracle XML Publisher. The solution successfully processes thousands of job submissions per hour of XML-formatted data and non-XML-formatted documents from a combination of Oracle and non-Oracle applications. (less)

Integrating the popular Siebel® Systems customer relationship management (CRM) software that runs on the Microsoft® Windows® platform with the UNIX™-based HP Output Server gives users of Siebel customer relationship management systems access to all of HP Output Server's document delivery capabilities. This paper discusses how to integrate the customer relationship management suite from Siebel Systems into HP Output Server. It describes the software components for linking the Microsoft Windows-based Siebel application with UNIX-based HPOS, how these components pass information from Siebel to HPOS, and how HPOS returns an asynchronous feedback response to the Siebel system. The components and the general approach for linking them together is easily adapted to other situations that call for linking applications on the Windows platform to HPOS. (less)
