Excel output for the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
Thanks
Munna

Hi Munna,
For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

Hi Experts,

Thanks in advance.

Hi, try using this in your template.
<fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?QUANTITY?></fo:bidi-override>

Printing the XML Publisher report output from different trays of printer.

I am generating the XML Publisher report and the output is in 5 pages and that is sent to the printer
In the printer there are two trays one tray(tray 1) consists of company watermarked papers and the other tray(tray 2) will be consisting of ordinary papers
I want to print the first two pages of the report on the papers of first tray and the remaining pages to be printed from another tray consisting of ordinary papers.
How can i do this in XML Publisher.
Any response will be appreciated
Thanks
Saurav

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.

Showing the XML publisher report in an iframe..

Hi all..
Please help me with this question.
Before: We had a "http page" and we are showing a XML Publisher report which is also in "http" ,in an iframe of the parent page. Previously it was working fine, as both are http.
*** Basically we are generating a URL of the report and showing it in a iframe of the web application****
Now: Recently we configured ssl to the parent page (https), and the report sever is still in "http". Because of this difference, whenever we are calling that report,it is showing a security alert and redirecting to totally wrong page.
Is there any configurations that i can do in the ""report server" to rectify this issue.Please help me with this issue.
Thank u

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay

How to call the XML Publisher Report thro Standard PO Output for Comm.

Hi
We need to call our custom report(XML Publisher Report) from the standard PO Output for Communication Report.
There is a parameter(Purchase Order Layout) in PO Output for Communication in which we can see no. of standard reports. We want to add our custom report in that list so that when we will run this standard report by selecting our custom report for Purchase Order Layout parameter, we should get the output as per our Custom report.
Since PO Output for Communication is a Java Concurrent Program, we are not able to place our custom report in the list of Purchase Order layout Parameter.

Default a rtf template for a Xml publisher report!

Hello,
How to default a layout template if multiple templates are registered for a Data template?
and also how to delete a template?
Thanks,

Thank you all for the reply. I was talking about Xml publisher with EBS.
As said...we can not delete the template but we can end date it and we can set the default template from the system administration responsibility.
One more question regarding this : When we migrate the xml publisher seed data for this report( which include template which was endated) to other instance ( let say Development to Test)....we are unable to see the template in the test instance. All i meant was can we migrate the template which is end dated to other instance with the data definition??

If employee id is the same should not print on the xml publisher report

Hi Dear,
I met with one problem and needs some suggestion on the best approach on it. It is a xml publisher report.
We have multiple rows for the same employee , but for the same employee only the first row needs to print the emplid.
Do we need to write the if statement , how to get the value of the last row emplid ?
For example :
EMPLID EMP_RCD STATE
1001 0 CA
1 TX
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dennis

I understand your requirement is as follows:
Requirement:_
The data is this ->
EMPLID COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_01 DATA_02_01 DATA_03_01
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_02 DATA_02_02 DATA_03_02
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_03 DATA_02_03 DATA_03_03
EMPLID_02 DATA_01_04 DATA_02_04 DATA_03_04
And you need report in this format:
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_01 DATA_02_01 DATA_03_01
DATA_01_02 DATA_02_02 DATA_03_02
DATA_01_03 DATA_02_03 DATA_03_03
EMPLID_02 DATA_01_03 DATA_02_04 DATA_03_04
Solution:_
If my understanding is correct, then you can make use of variables
at start of template set the variable to 0
*<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'PREV_EMPLID',0)?>*
at the end of each data row, reset the variable
*<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'PREV_EMPLID',EMPLID)?>*
while printing emplid in that row use IF condition
*<?if:(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'PREV_EMPLID'))!=EMPLID?>*
The above If condition will print emplid on the row only when there is change in EMPLID, so effectively printing emplid only on the 1st row of data for each employee id.
Also, you need to ensure that you group by employee id before you print each row.
Let me know if this works for you.

Excel Output Wrapping columns Xml Publisher

Hi,
I am creating a RTF Template in XML Publisher, Need some help regarding the Output Format Excel:-

Problem with XML Publisher report when there are no detail records.

I am working on an Oracle XML Publisher procurement report (Oracle E-Business Suite R12) that starts with a budget amount that is imported from our financial system, then lists all requisitions and orders that are in process (not approved). The amounts of all those unapproved requisitions/orders are totaled using a Sum form field, to be followed by a field where the unapproved requisition/order total is subtracted from the budget amount (amount available). I am running into a problem when there are no unapproved requisitions. When I run the report for such instances, it completes with a warning -- here is what it states in the OPP log:
oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'sum'
I have altered my sum field on the RTF template to include an if statement in case of a null value...
<?sum (EXTENDED_COST)?> <?xdofx:if sum (EXTENDED_COST) = " then 0 end if?>
...but this does not work.

Hi,
You are on right track. Simply put summary field in header group and remember to set reset at property to Header Group Not Child and now you can use this field in format trigger.
Format trigger must be written on header frame.
Cheers !

Invoking XML Publisher Report from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have a PL/SQL procecedure which invokes the Concurrent Request for the XML Publisher Report. This one finishes with a warning and I get 'Unable to publish output' when I try to view the output. Exact Error: "Unable to find the published output for this request "
But if I run the same report using Concurrent program, the Report executes with no error. Also the desired output is coming. I am not sure where I am doing wrong in code.
My code which invokes the XML Publisher Report (from PL/SQL package)is something like this:
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout (template_appl_name => 'XXTMG', template_code => 'XXT_5001_BOL_T', template_language => 'EN', template_territory => 'US', output_format => 'XML');
l_no_of_copies := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_NO_OF_COPIES');
l_printername := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_PRINTER');
l_print_style := NULL; --For setting the Printer Options
l_result := fnd_request.set_print_options (l_printername, l_print_style, l_no_of_copies, TRUE, 'N');
l_result := fnd_request.add_printer (l_printername, 0);
y := fnd_request.submit_request ('XXTMG', 'XXT_5001_BOL', '', TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'), FALSE, 'CH-120079') ;
end;
Please let me know where I might be going wrong
Thanks

Hi Sumit,
You can try with this code:
exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(org_id)
exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id,resp_id,appl_id);
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout ('XXTMG' --template_appl_name
          ,'XXT_5001_BOL_T' --template_code
          ,'en' --template_language
     ,'US' --template_territory
     ,'XML' --output_format
if (x=TRUE) then
y := fnd_request.submit_request (
                    'XXTMG'           --application
                    ,'XXT_5001_BOL'      --program
                    ,SYSDATE          --start_time
                    ,FALSE               --sub_request
                    ,'CH-120079'          --argument1 (Program's Parameter)
if y>0 then
          dbms_output.put_line('Request ID '||y);
end if;
end if; --if (x=TRUE) then
end;
Make sure that program has only one input parameter. If program has other parameters then you can pass those parameters like argument1, argument2... etc.
Now you can see this submited request in your application using your user id. If you able to see your request in concurrent request then you can add printer parameters in this programs.
You don't need to pass all 100 parameters.
I am executing many programs/reports using this code.
Thanks

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,
V

XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

Hi,
We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
We have also defined template for this.
Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks
