Submit concurrent program FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST along with XML Publisher layout and printer options

FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST submits concurrent request to be processed by a concurrent manager.

Using submit_request will only submits the program and will not attach any layout or print option. Code below will help to set XML publisher template/layout along with print option.

*****Add_layout and Add_printer procedures are optional in calling submit_request. Use only if you need to set them.

Layout is submitted to a concurrent request using below procedure

fnd_request.add_layout (
                    template_appl_name   => 'Template Application',
                    template_code        => 'Template Code',
                    template_language    => 'en', --Use language from template definition
                    template_territory   => 'US', --Use territory from template definition
                    output_format        => 'PDF' --Use output format from template definition
                     );


Setting printer while submitting concurrent program

fnd_submit.set_print_options (printer      => lc_printer_name
                                   ,style        => 'PDF Publisher'
                                   ,copies       => 1
                                   );

fnd_request.add_printer (
                    printer => printer_name,
                    copies  => 1);
