BI Publisher report output is inconsistent for a given parameter?

Hi All,
Thanks in Advance
I have developed a BI publisher report with P_LOCATION, P_ZONE and etc columns.
However data in P_ZONE column is inconsistent.
The report output should be based on the parameter provided for P_ZONE say “3rd North Zone”
The output of the report should be for that particular zone only, however report output is showing all other zones as well, when i give filter condition like “3rd North%Zone” or “3rd North% Zone” which means if I include ‘%’ with or without space in my filter condition then the report output is correct, why search criteria is correct when I give ‘%’ in the parameter value.
I have checked running the query, but it works fine when I run in the backend.
However P_LOCATION parameter is working fine which is quite similar to P_ZONE!
Please let me know what went wrong!

Arjun SM

Hi,
based on the prompt value the report column header should also change. You want to change the value of the column heading dynamically based on prompt.You will get this by using the Presentation variable.So,you have to integrate both the bi publisher+rpd.

  • Intermittent Blank Rows coming in BI Publisher Report output

    Hi,
    We are working on a BI Publisher report output.
    Issue
    The report sometimes creates a blank row along with the headings of the report columns. Table has multiple records and between 2 records we have a data being displayed which is optional. When this record is null, it is creating an extra space and hence creating a new page with the headers and a blank row.
    Reducing the space is one issue we have thought of. Are there any other pointers to this.
    Thanks
    Ishani

    Hi,
    I did not got the complete thing but as you told you need to remove the blank space in the report and at the same you told when a column returns null the row get displayed as blank row.
    Then can you try using the Conditional region so that when ever you find the column value as null so you can hide that row.
    Just try it i donot no if your requirement is exactly like this or what.
    Thanks.

  • XML Publisher Report Output

    Hi,
    For one of our XML Publisher report, the output is varying from one instance to another. The data output is same.
    There are nine records that need to be displayed.
    In the first instance, all the nine records are being displayed in the first page.
    In the second instance, eight records are being displayed in the first page and the last record is being displayed in the next page.
    Please let me know what could be the cause/resolution for this issue.

  • XML Publisher Report Output from OAF Page

    Hi,
    I created a button in a OAF page, and called the XML publisher Report program on click of this button. The concurrent request was ran when check from View Requests. When I click on viewout, the pdf document was open with the option, open, save, cancel. But this is not coming up in the OAF page. when debugged the code, the url is null.
    Please see the below code.
    OADBTransactionImpl oadbtransactionimpl = (OADBTransactionImpl)paramOAPageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction();
    String s1 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
    System.out.println("s1 = " + s1);
    String s2 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
    System.out.println("s2 = " + s2);
    String s3 = "BEGIN :1 := fnd_webfile.get_url(fnd_webfile.request_out, :2, :3, :4, 2); end;";
    CallableStatement callablestatement = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean).getOADBTransaction().createCallableStatement(s3, 1);
    System.out.println("s3 = " + s3);
    if(requestId != 0)
    try
    Number number = new Number(requestId);
    callablestatement.registerOutParameter(1, 12);

    oadbtransactionimpl.putValue("OutputURL", s4);
    System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
    }

    Look at the links AJ gave.
    Basically what you will do is create a Data Definition and assign a Data Template to it. Create a (document) Template and assign it to your data definition. You will use the XML Publisher Java API classes to pass parameters to your data template and extract the XML data. Then you will use this in conjunction with your document template and the OAF integration region to present the final output to the user.
    All of these things are in the XML Publisher documentation and Javadocs.

  • XML Publisher report output in RTF format does not display full page

    Hi,
    We have one XML Publisher report, the output of report in RTF format is not getting displayed in Full Page in normal way (MS Word -->View menu --> Print layout) but we can see full page display when we do MS Word -->View menu --> Outline.
    Appreciate your valuable inputs on this.
    Is this a template issue or any profiles needs to be set.

  • Font not displaying on Reports Output (RHEL 5) for 10g

    Hi, I know I've posted a question in the past about a font not displaying on Report Output for my Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts. I worked with Oracle Support and found that Metalink Note#261879.1 fixed my problem with those 3 fonts. I ran the scripts and now that part works great.
    However, I have one font "ARIALUNI.TTF" that will not work. This is out specific barcode font we use. I've pushed it on Linux from my Windows by pushing it as a binary file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF directory. I even put it in the directory for TTF on Metalink Notoe 261829.1 and let it create the files, but it still doesn't find it when I ran a report that uses this font.
    I tried using font subsetting via the uiprint.ali and make a reference but it still doesn't seem to work.
    Is there something I'm missing that would cause any of these not to work. I thought maybe some files had to be created under the guicommon/tk/admin/AFM file directory but I'm not sure.
    I just want to have my 2 or 3 reports that use this barcode to work. Once I get them, I'm done and all my font issues are resolved. Any help is appreciated.
    Chris

    They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

  • Xml report output not producing for Request sets.

    Hi,
    I build a xml report which has basically a request set of 2 programs
    1. the first program populates some staging table - pl/sql based program
    2. the second program is an xml report that reports off the staging table
    What is happening is that the second program loses the layout once submitted via request set. If you run them one by one it works fine but if you run them as a set and even enter the layout definition, it still doesn’t work and no output is produced.
    Any ideas?
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Naresh

    Hi Naresh
    I think you may be better off amending your process slightly - rather than using a request set, submit the second request from the first. This way you will be able to use the fnd_request.add_layout function which sets up the layout template for the concurrent request. It's not perfect, but at least it works!

  • How to avoid # in the report output in BEx for null characteristic values?

    Hi All,
    In a query output, # values are shown for the charactersitics which are null. I would appreciate if someone would help showing null instead of # in the reports for the null values.
    Regards
    Subba

    Hi,
    There are various options.
    1. Exclude the # in filters for that chararcteristics, it will remove all # values.
    2. Display the text for that Characteristcs which will be displayed as "Not assigned".
    3. If you want to display as "Null", Change the entry in text table of the charaterictics for value # as "Null".
    4. While updating this filed in cube/DSO write routine to replace #/blank with "Null".
    I hope it will help.
    Thanks,
