2. Click on Create Data Definition button and the details (Make sure you enter the concurrent program short name in Code) and click on Apply button

3. Go back to Data definition and add the Data Template file as shown below (attached sample template file for your reference , make necessary changes to template for your report

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XXAR_CLIENT_DET_CASH_PYMT" version="1.0">

4. Once you create the Data definition, please create the respective concurrent program for this report if one does not already exists. Make sure the execute for this concurrent program should XDODTEXE

5.    Make sure to enter the Token in the parameters screen. Also noted that this token should match to your parameters name in Data Template file.

6.    Once finished creation of this, please go ahead and create Template for this concurrent program using xml file generated from output of this concurrent request.
