A report layout for address labels using Word's label-table

Hello,
I sent the following question to the BIPublisher forum, but didn't get any answers. Maybe it wasn't the right forum. I'm a little desperate with this problem, because I have spent days trying to solve this. Could somebody please help with this ? :
I'm not familiar with BI Publisher, but I should only do one thing with it, which seems rather easy. I need a rtf layout to be used in APEX to create an address label PDF-report. I tried using mail merge to create an empty table for the labels and added XSL (I suppose ?) element <?for-each:ROW?> in the first cell to loop over each ROW (which contains an address) in XML file. The problem is that I haven't found a way this would put the next row (address) to the next cell (filling first all the cells of the first row and so on). The previous loop only places one address in each table row. I read about for-each@column element in another thread, could it be used here ?
The rtf layout is created in Word with BIPublisher's template builder for Word.
I have for example tried placing XSL or FO elements inside the loop or marks that would call Word's own NextCell routine but haven't found anything.

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your answer.
I'm not sure, if I understood this correctly:
You could fake out the number of lines, such that the layout will always have 4 or 5 lines of output, even if one line is blank, it will print out properly..
Do you mean that the layout should have for example 4 cells ?
and...
If you build the select to give you a space filled column where no data is present, and ship that to bi publisher, it should work..
Do you mean that the report query in APEX should have an extra column ?
Could you please explain ?

View Crystal Report Layout for my UDO Form

Hi all,
I try to view a report created for my UDO form. I set all settings in Administration -> Setup -> General -> Report and Layout Manager. Now I wonder what should be assigned to eventInfo.LayoutKey. I tried assigned report's DocCode from RDOC, DocEntry of my UDO object or UDO Code but nothing works. Always get an error: Incorrect format of argument or something like that - I didn't get an error in English so I tried to translate it.

Need Standard report layout for Benefits

Hi,
Can anyone send me the standard report layout for benefits which is already generated.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Do you want a enrollment letter or a confirmation letter ? They are all there in the IMG as templates. Just copy it and design your own. No two businesses use the same format so sending you ours will be as good as you doing some work on the SAP delivered examples.

How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

Importing Crystal Report layout for customer statements

Hello,
I have imported a crystal report layout to use for the customer statements when running them from the ageing report. The problem is even if we only select one business partner in the ageing report, when we print preview the statement it displays statements for all business partners - this is because in the crystal report there are no parameters. I know that when you import a layout like this for other documents you need to use for example, {ORDR.DocEntry}={DocKey@} as the parameter however the customer statements don't have a docentry. When I look at the system statement layout (collection layout), when you run the report you get an ADO.NET (XML) connection prompt. Is it possible to use the crystal layout i have for the customer statements but for only the customer(s) showing on the ageing report?
Many thanks,
Kate

So just to make it clear,
you want an overview of open invoices from 1 customer.
If so, try this in crystal reports :
Create a parameter field (field explorer)
Name : CardName
Type : String
Value : Static
do not select a value field (none)
press ok.
Select expert
Create new
Starts with
type this : {?CardName}
press add
Click formula editor and make it look like this :
{OINV.DocStatus} = "o" and
{OINV.CardName} startswith {?CardName}

Download and Upload Report Layout for End User

hi, i did the following
1. create an xml data file
2. load in in bipublisher
3.create a layout
4. create a report query in apex and load the rtf created in step 3
5. test the report.
it works fine.
my requirement is for trained end users (bipublisher trained) to download the rtf and edit it if need be. most of the editing will be text and they will not be editing any data fields. i will create a button for the end user to download the report layout, but what api can i use to download the rtf for them and where should i move the report layout (any apis for this) upon upload after the rtf is edited by the user.
thanks

Defining Report LayOut for a parent child report

I have a parent child report. I want to print this report in PDF using BI Publisher. Now I wanted to define a layout for that report using BI template builder. My stratagey for defining Report layuout is
1. Write a query containing all fields that I need
2. Convert that query data to XML, one way or the other
3. Load that XML into template builder.
4. Define the layout.
Now the problem is that I need some fields for parent and some from child. If I do not use group buy clause in the query I will not be able to use the tabular format in template builder (taht I wanted to use).
IF I use a group By caluse then I am unable to select the child fields as they are not the part of group by clause.
Plz help

You have 2 repeating frames: R_contracts and R_ads. Create a frame M_disclaimer after R_ads, within R_contracts to hold the disclaimer page. This page will print after all the ad records have been printed, and before the new contract starts.
You can set Page Break Before on M_disclaimer to print this frame on a new page.

Switch from OINV to ODRF in Crystal Report layout for print the Invoice?

Hi,
I have imported in Sap Business One some standard report developed by Sap with Crystal Report (like Sales Invoice).
I have try to print my Invoices and all is OK, then I have try to print a Draft Invoice and, even in this case, is all ok. Then I have open the Crystal Report designer for this print module, and the entry point is the OINV table. How can he print succesful the Draft Invoice (that is in the ODRF table ObjType = 13)? Formula Field? I don't understand!!
Thank for the help!!
Marco

Hi Marco,
You only need a single Crystal report for this. Base it on a stored procedure which has two INT type parameters @DocKey and @ObjectId. Within your SQL create IF blocks to handle different @ObjectId values:
IF @ObjectId = 13 then use the invoices tables OINV/INV1 etc.
IF @ObjectId = 112 then use the draft tables ODRF/DRF1 etc.
Don't forget to put the @ symbol at the end of the parameter in the report itself. That is all that is needed to create a single report that works for both added invoices and draft invoices. You could extend the SQL to handle other @ObjectId values like 14 for AR Credit Notes and so on.

Andrew.

Issue with Customised Report Layout for Freezing Panes in a Tabular Form

Hi,
I am quite new to Oracle APEX. Any help would be great.
When I create a Report Template in the Shared components of my application, I do not find it listed in the Report Templates when i navigate to the report regions of my application and so I am not able to choose the customized Template for my reports. I am customizing in order to get scrollable reports in my application, followed the steps provided in the Thread, http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2180543&start=0&tstart=0 .
I am now listing the Steps in followed to create a Report Layout,
Navigate to Shared components > Templates > Report
Create From Scratch and paste the code as mentioned in the Thread.
Apply changes and save it. But when i Navigate to a report in the Application I do not find this Listed.
Thanks,
Ramya

Yes you can make a process that reads the apex_application.g_fnn arrays and insert your row manually but that's a lot of work.
For what you're doing it doesn't sound like the standard CRUD processes should have a problem with it. On your button-click if it's doing a redirect and not some kind of submit, it's possible then that the value isn't making it into session state and therefore not getting included in the DML. Are you sure it's getting into session state?

Crystal Reports layout for AP/AR Invoice, Credit Note

Hi
I am currently designing layouts for AP and AR procedures.
The Quotations, Orders and Goods Receipt PPO's all work fine using the Dockey@ parameter but neither the purchasing invoice and credit notes or the sales credit notes seem to connect at all during the design stage.
Do i need to set a new/different parameter for these particular layouts or am I doing anything else wrong?
Regards
Peter

Setting the report layout for HTML format

hi friends
when I generate my report to HTML file and open it to Internet Explorer it disturbs the actual report little bit like enlarging the fonts, hiding some graphical objects like Lines and wrapping the report. so can u tell me that how can I take the same output format in Internet Explorer as in reports previewer? I'm using Reports 6i and Micrsoft Internet Explorer 6.0. thanx.

I think you should make some modification into main section
e.g. increase height and width of the report....and then see...
I had same problem with text output but this method solve my problem hope
this will help u...
Enjoy Oracle...

Weird connection "background color of subdiagram label" & "use transparent name labels"

I stumbled upon the following side effect in LabVIEW 2013:
1) Turn off the option "use transparent name labels" in blockdiagram options.
2) now create a while loop
3) show the subdiagram label of the while loop
Because of the changes already discussed here you end up with a WHITE text label on WHITE background.
Maybe I'm "old school" because up to now I liked turning off the "transparent name label" (resulting in labels with a black frame), but a resulting white text on white background on the while loop makes this option now virtually meaningless (I know about the workarounds mentioned in the link above).
Anyway my question:
Why does this connection between the color of the subdiagram label and the option "use transparent name label" exist at all?
Regards, Jens

JuliaO wrote:
I tried all the settings you said in your last post, and I made a screenshot as a "summary" (I attached it to this post).
The changes at "label" when you disable the transparent name labels are in my opinion understandable. But the fact that for "subdiagram label" the background color becomes white and the font color stays white is not understandable to me.
I think it is a bug, and i will clarify how to proceed further.
Regards, Julia
Hi Julia,
that's is exactly what I meant. There shouldn't be any connection between the colors used for the subdiagram labels and the settings for name labels, as the subdiagram labels only make sense with the default settings. Thanks for creating a CAR. Please have a look, that this problem exists in LabVIEW 2012, 2013 and 2014. It is not as annoying in 2012 as the default color for the text in while loop subdiagram label is still black.
Regards, Jens

Weblogic 10.3.4 as report printer for PDF printing using apex_fop.jsp

Hello,
Is it possible to use the apex_fop.jsp in combination with Oracle Weblogic 10.3.4 for PDF printing?
We have managed to get our Apex application to print PDF documents using Apache FOP with Oracle Weblogic 10.3.3 or Apache Tomcat 6 as a report printer.
But when we are trying the Oracle Weblogic 10.3.4 server as report printer, we will get the Error 500--Internal Server Error error in the pdf.
One of application server log shows the error "Expected Node-set in Path Expression".

Steve,
I am using JSF2.0 and getting javax.el.ExpressionFactory NoClassDefFound issues.
OEPE Helios
Weblogic 10.3.3
I have an EAR containing one WAR.
WEB-INF/lib
el-api-2.2jar
el-imp-2.2.jar
jsf-api.jar (2.1.1)
jsf.impl.jar (2.1.1)
jstl.jar (1.1.0-D13)
web.xml has
     <context-param>
          <param-name>com.sun.faces.expressionFactory</param-name>
          <param-value>com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl</param-value>
     </context-param>
EAR has
weblogic-application.xml with
<wls:prefer-application-packages>
<wls:package-name>org.eclipse.persistence.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>javax.faces.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>com.sun.faces.*</wls:package-name>
     <wls:package-name>com.sun.el.*</wls:package-name>
     <wls:package-name>javax.el.*</wls:package-name>
</wls:prefer-application-packages>
I see by your post that JSF2.0 support can be solved by either deploying a shared-library or using the weblogic.Deployer utility. Unfortunately, we don't have access to change the Weblogic instance in any way. I was hoping that using the prefer-application-packages would be sufficient to use alternative classes to Weblogic's but I have not been able to get it to work for the javax.el classes. I have tried not including javax.el and the app deploys but then accessing a page produces a javax.el.ELResolver no method found for invoke. Invoke being a newer method defined in el-api-2.2.jar. If I was able to convince them to add some shared libs, what are all the jars that would be required to make this work?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
John
