Basic question, how to create rtf template with a given xml file

Hello guys
I am new to BI publisher and I am learning how to create rtf templates using given xml fiel definitions by following the bi publisher guide
The steps I am following is:
1, create template using template builders, which is downloaded into MS words.
2, In the empty template, map the xml columns with template field using BI publisher tag
3, upload the template to BI Publisher as a layout.
That's all I can understand.
My question is:
1,in which above step do I import XML file into template builder (if not bi publisher), how to do so?
2,After template is created, how to associate this template layout with existing reports in BI Publisher, or is it necessary at all?
3,In the template content in MS Word template builder, what should I enter other than BI publisher tags for mapping XML field to desired template field
Or, if my understand of this process is entirely wrong, what's the right process of creating rtf template with a given XML file definition
Thanks

If you have a BI Publisher desktop installed, have a look a the demos,.. should answer most of your basic questions.
(Windows) Start->Programs->Oracle BI Publisher Desktop->Demos
Invoice Demo - good one for those with E-Business Suite

How to create rtf template to view report in Word and Excel, with numeric f

Hi,
Please help me!
How to create rtf template to view report in Word and Excel, with numeric formatted fields (like this 999 999 999,99 with spaces between numbers) and then end user be able to process those fields with Excel tools (sum, etc).
Thank you.

From what I have seen Excel can not handle 999 999 999.00. You can use 999999999.00 and then format it as you want in the xls bt you can not have values like 999 999 999.00 coming from publisher output and have functions on the values in Excel

How to create a proxy to retrieve the xml file from web services

Hi Every one,
We have a requirment where we receive a xml file from Kenexa, a third party HR tool using a middleware tool. from SAP side We have to create a proxy to retrieve the xml file from web services by initiating call through middleware tool i used earlier.
these are the steps i intend to follow to accomlish the requirement.
1) middleware tool has to initiate the call to kenexa web services to receive the xml file when it is available.
2) On SAP we need to create a ABAP Proxy service provider to middleware where this file can be received.
Can any one guide me how i can create a proxy to retrieve the xml file from web services by initiating call through other middlewre (its not PI).
Any help would be really great, i am not a ABAP developer, so please help me with this. Thanks.

Thank for reply.
The computers are in different locations, but yes it's possible, the users in this enviroment are all local administrator of the machines, and we can distribute the script centrally from the DC automatically
Acrobat use Java, right? I'm not so expert in java, but something about it could not be so difficult to manage.
Do you know some place where i can get some info about JS and acrobat?

How to create RTF template base on SQL in BI Publisher template for word?

Hi,
When i was using XML publisher desktop 5.6.2, i could able to see options Report wizard and SQL under Data menu to create template in MS word. But now i've installed BI Publisher template builder for word and there is no option for SQL or Report Wizard under Data menu. Is it eliminated in new version or did i mistake at install time?
As i have no option for SQL, i just run sql in TOAD and export data as a xml file and just load that data in to MS word as XML Data. it's not bad idea !!!.
Thanks & Regards
Jay

The create report from SQL option was removed from the Desktop tool. Here's what I would recommend.
1. Go to BIP server and create your report and query there (use the online query builder, use SQL Developer, use BI EE, use TOAD)
2. Open Word and login to the BIP Server
3. Browser the report catalog.
4. Open the report you just created online. (This will automatically create a download sample XML)
5. Create your layout
6. From inside word, upload your new template (new Menu option)
The ability to start new templates and update existing templates directly from Word is pretty handy. You no longer have to go back to your browser to upload the lasted copy of your template to the server.

How to create Base Dimensions with MaxL and Text File?

Hi,
Doing a scratch rebuild of a cube every month. Don't want to have a 'dummy' outline with base dimensions to copy over every build. Instead want to build from text file somehow. Thus my plan is to: 1) Delete the existing app/db 2) Create a new blank app/db 3) Create the base dimensions in the outline via text file and 4) Build entire outline via a text file. I'm stuck on #3 how to get the 'base dimensions' built via text file. I need:
ACCOUNTS
PERIOD
VALUE
VIEWS
SCENARIO
CUSTOM4
YEAR
CUSTOM3
CUSTOM2
ENTITY
CUSTOM1
I see this MaxL, but it uses a 'rules file' and I never have built a rules file to create base dims so I'm confused if it's possible or not...
import database sample.basic dimensions
from data_file '/data/calcdat.txt'
using rules_file '/data/rulesfile.rul'
on error append to '/logs/dimbuild.log';

We rebuild our Departments and Organization from an enterprise hierarchy master each week.
The way we implemented (what you call #3) was to not do #1 and #2, but to have a "destructive" load rule for each of these dimensions using a text file. (in the "Dimension Build Settings" for the load rule, select "Remove Unspecified" to make it destructive)
The text file just has the dimension name (parent) and any children we needed defined in a parent/child relationship. For instance
"Sales Departments" "0100-All Departments"
This essentially works the same as deleting the app because the destructive load rules will drop all the blocks of data that were unspecified.
Then we run our SQL load rule to build the rest of the dimensions from the Location Master.
We perform a level-0 export prior to this process, then reload the level-0 data and execute all the consolidation scripts to get the data back (now in a current enterprise defined hierarchy)

How did I end up with 2 AlbumData.xml files?

The finder is showing me that I have an albumdata.xml file and an albumdata2.xml file, both with the same date and time. It seems to me that there shouldn't be two of these files. The file sizes vary, though, making me think the second one is unnecessary.
The first one is nearly 12 MB and the second one is about a half a MB. Should I delete it? What will happen if I do? Any suggestions? (I don't want to screw it up any more, because I've had trouble with this version ever since I upgraded.)

The AlbumData.xml file has faces information, coordinates of the faces on each image identified and other info and the data2 file has bulk listing of numbers which I have no idea what they represent. But both are necessary.

How to create a template with global buttons and copyright?

Hi,
We are trying to rebuild applications using 11G. In 10133, we use panelpage as the base of the template. With Jdev11g, I cannot find the panelpage component anymore. Then which component should we use and how to start with it? Is there any article talks about it?
Thanks,
Annie

Hi Annie,
Indeed the panelPage layout component is not present in 11g. In the other hand, for 11g we have done a lot of improvements for templating JSF applications. You can find an article from Steve Muench here http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/08-jul/o48frame.html
Basically in order to replace your panelPage you can use a PanelGroupLayout's facets or the ones from the panelHeader.
Goodl Luck

PA_CONTRACT_XSLFO: How to invoke a RTF-template with related data template

Dear Reader,
actually I want to extend the standard Document Type Layout for a Purchase Agreement Contract with additional data from approved supplier list (ASL).
Therefor I have created a RTF-template and a data template with the needed sql-statement. For testing I put this in a standalone concurrent programm and it works fine (result was a blue table with all data rows).
Next step for me was to invoke the RTF-template into the PA_CONTRACT_XSLFO template for extending the Document Type Layout for my Purchase Agreement Contract. So I put the neede invoke-statements
<xsl:import href="xdo://XXOC.XX_RTF_TEMPLATE.de.00/"/>
and
<xsl:call-template name="XX_RTF_TEMPLATE"/>
into the XSLFO-template. Also I extend the RTF-template with the define template statement
<?template:XX_RTF_TEMPLATE?>
So all seems to be fine.
As result I get the standard document for Purchase Agreement Contract with the additional blue table from RTF-template BUT WITHOUT DATA !
From my point of view there is no execution of the sql-statement in data template. But I dont know why.
Do Oracle support a combination of XSLFO-template with data template?
[XSLFO-template] with related [XSD-data definition]
calls [RTF-template] with related [data template (with included sql-statement)]
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Mario.

How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value try in main template create hyperlink of url with parameters for another template
http://bipconsulting.blogspot.ru/2010/02/drill-down-to-detail-or-another-report.html
When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.it'll be only another report
IMHO you can not attach it to main. it'll be second independent report
you can try subtemplate but it's not about rtf from rtf by click
it's about call automatically rtf subtemplate from main rtf based on some conditions
for example, main template contain some data and if some condition is true then call subtemplate and place it instead of its condition

How to create personal templates in SRM 4.0

Dear all
We are upgrading from EBP 3.0 to SRM 4.0 and we don't see in SRM 4.0 how to create personal templates.
The transaction BBPSC05 Create template create central/public templates and not personal ones (also if given to a basic user).
1) In the Shopping Cart we can go to Old Purchase Order and Tempaltes and there we can select on status Personal Template but were can we create them?
2) Additional question, how can we limit the availability of a public/central template to a certain users from some company or plant or ...
Thanks

Hi RD,
1) for detailed explanations read my answer in this thread:
SRM 4.0 Shopping cart templates
2) such limitation does not exist in SRM, even if often asked by customers: the possibility to maintain templates centraly at a level between the public (every user can see them) and the private template (only the user can see them). So you would have to change the standard search logic on templates, and implement an additional serach criteria.

Hi Easwar
Thanks a lot for answering the question.
Yes I do have CRM Billing documents. But the problem is
a) either the billing document doesn't have Transfer to Accounting status Transferred or
b) a transferred billing document, but all items have error "Unable to offset billing item 90003458 0000000060" etc.
Do you know
1) how I can make a billing document have "Transferred" status? Pressing "Transfer to Accounting" button in the billing document overview page will only set the status to "Being transferred". And it's always being tranfered.
2) What does the error "Unable to offset billing item ... "mean? How to get rid of them?
Thanks a lot!

How to create a Templates for Categories and Products In BCC

Hi All,
Could you please tell me How to create a Templates for Categories and Products In BCC and how Can I get those Templates details(Categories and Products)in jsp
If possible can any one send the document or where we find in atg docs
Regards,

At product/category/sku level there is a property called template.
Find the property in ACC/BCC and provide all the values including the URL property.
In you jsp, you can use this property from product/sku like the way you retrieve any other property from sku/product.
<dsp:valueof param="product.template.URL" />
Using that property with <dsp:include> includes that page.
Peace

How to create a .flv with only audio?

So what I'm looking to do is have sound play on my landing
page...the problem is, I used .fla file and it won't play until the
entire thing is loaded. I know how to get progressive play with a
flash video file, but I don't know the best way the convert an mp3
file in to video...
What I'm looking to do is simply have sound start playing as
soon as they land on the page, I don't want them to have to wait
for the whole thing to finish loading first...anyone who knows the
simplest way to accomplish this?
Sorry if it's a simple question, I was going to shell out
some money for 'flash for dummies' or something similar, but since
I generally don't work with flash and just want to do this one
thing I'd thought I'd check on here first ;)
Thanks

To do what you want, my approach is to create a small (160 X
120) movie
consisting of a single black frame in AfterEffects or
QuickTime Pro and add
the MP3 file as a sound track. With the movie completed,
import it into the
Flash Video Encoder to create the FLV. Then, in Flash, play
the movie using
the FLVPlayback component. The player can even be placed off
the stage so
that the black frame is never seen. Set the ContentPath of
the player to an
external file, the one you created earlier.
Since the file had only a single black frame, the video track
will
contribute very little to the size of the FLV; it will be
mostly audio.
