Steps to change  xml publisher default template:

It is possible to associate one data definition with multiple layouts . In such cases you can assign default template for a concurrent program and this template will be defaulted while submitting the concurrent program. We have an option of selecting the different layout instead of default layout. For example lets take Standard program ‘Social Security Affiliation Report’ .It has two templates attached. By default it has the layout as ‘Social Security Affiliation Hires’ .

If you want to select other template while submitting program then click on options button and select the template of your choice and submit the program.

But in some case we have a requirement to default one template. For that follow the below steps. Navigation : System Administration Concurrent Programs

Then you will be directed to a OAF page .Now search for the program and click on GO button.

Now you can see two templates defined for one program. Now select update button

Click on Onsite Setting tab and select a value from LOVs defined for Template field and click Apply

Now you can see the program with other template defaulted.

That’s it!!!.
