Generate a simple report in XML publisher

Hello,
I have a simple Oracle Report 9i which displays data from four tables. It uses three different queries to get the data. How can I simply generate a similar report in XMLP without using the oracle report? I tried joining the queries (like outer join) but wasn't able to get the format which report 9i was generating.
Each table has two columns to be equated with other tables among the four i.e (A.c1=B.c1 AND A.c2=B.c2). The results are displayed in a hierarchial manner. Could anyone please help me out with a clear approach? Please let me know if I need to be more clear.

Check out in BIP user guide, fior sample simple reports.
to give you an overview ,this is the way BIP works ,
you create code to genrate the xml through any method from DB.
and Bip merges the xml and your template to get you the output you wanted.
BIP does more than what i have said, just go thru user guide :)
if you are expecting some help from your xml and xsl code,
paste your xml here and your xplanation , what you are expecting.

Error when trying to run an FSG Report via XML Publisher...

hello.
Hope someone can help.
This is our first look into the benefits of XML Publisher in order convince Manager to start using it. Thing is, we really need to get both FSG reports and Dunning Letters working.
We've currently got XML Publisher 5.0.0 and BI Publisher Template Builder for Word v10.1.3.2.0
First up, FSG reports. Having followed this link here:
http://solutionbeacon.blogspot.com/2007/07/simple-tutorial-for-publishing-fsg.html
Ive managed to create a template based upon the basic FSG template supplied. I’ve follwed easy steps but on submitting the request against ANY [its what the notes said] FSG report the error messages from both the log and output files are given.. Those being..
Output file displayed the most productive error message:
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 133, column 8:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SUBMIT_XML_REQUEST'
ORA-06550: line 133, column 5:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Can anyone help please? Or perhaps suggest an alternative to running FSG reports through XML Publisher.
Other thought was, do I need any different versions and/or Publisher Enterprise installing?
Many thanks for reading this..

Hi Naresh
Im assuming you are in E Business Suite ?
So to be clear:
1, You have an English base template?
2, You have loaded a Spanish translation file ?
3, When you run the template it generates English ?
IF so, you need to go into the Options popup (forms) and select Spanish as the language you want before running the report. Sorry, it can not be defaulted at the moment,

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,

Can we create a drilldown report in XML Publisher

Hi,
I am currently into a project where we are implementing Oracle Applications. Here I have a task where I have to convert the legacy reports into XML Publisher. Here there are few legacy reports which have a scenario like:
A report contains Summary and detail modes, wherein if we run the report we can see the summary mode and for every record in summary mode there is a button which will take us to the detail mode of that particular record.
Now can I develop a same kind of report in XML Publisher where I can somehow navigate to the detail of the report from summary page.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Naveen,
I want something like a button, or a small icon which can be used as a hyperlink to navigate from the summary to detail mode. And if you have anything in mind apart from this which can solve my problem you can even suggest that.
Thanks,

Converting a simple Oracle Report to XML Publisher report template

Hello,
I have a simple Oracle Report 9i which displays data from four tables. It uses three different queries to get the data. How can I simply generate a template file(say RTF) or atleast an XML source from that report? I tried joining the queries (like outer join) but wasn't able to get the format which report 9i was generating. Could anyone please help me out with a clear approach?

Hi,
Are you referring to how to get xml out put from seeded report i mean from EBS that already in oracle reports,
then you need to query from respective application by creating new concurrent program and then change the out put to XML, you will get xml file then save it to your system.
By using this input xml fle you can create RTF template whatever you want the foramat, after that you upload back this RTF file to EBS using XML PUBLISHER ADMINISTRATOR responsibility.
hope this might give you idea,
let us know if it is not clear or you are asking different question,

Oracle reports and xml publisher

Hello,
I would like to know what we can do with an XML generated with Oracle Forms in BI publisher.
I have never used BI publisher before.
Thank you.

There is a conversion tool available to convert Oracle Reports file to BI Publisher.
More information: [Converting Reports from Oracle Reports to Oracle BI Publisher|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T518230T518393.htm]
I have used it to migrate Oracle Reports file. For simple reports it is usable. For complex ones you have to check manually and do some changes in the result

Problems with reports and XML-publisher - No XML

Hi!
I'm having a problem with Apps and XML-publisher. I made a report file, which queries some views. When executing in reports, I get all the data I expect.
Now, when I upload the reportfile to Apps and let it generate XML, my xml-file is empty (well, almost empty)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<T03501684>
<LIST_G_PERSOON>
<LIST_G_PERSOON />
</T03501684>
Anyone who can shed any light upon this problem?

OK, finally solved the problem... A good night's sleep always helps ;).
After just trying each queried table one after an other, I found the problem:
The difference between Oracle Apps (Dutch locale) and the reports builder (English) is the language... And our functional people have changed some names, but the Dutch ones, leaving the english names in place and one of the tables I query has language specific data, which is also appears in a where clause.

Creating pdf report from xml publisher report

Hi,
I'm newbie to xmlpublisher env.
We've a report in Oracle 11i developed in unix shell script and run as concurrent program generating check details which will be printed on checks.
I was asked to migrate this report into R12 in pdf format.They provided rtf template and xml data.I installed xml publisher desktop.I would like to know how I can create pdf template,if necessary changing the position of fields on the template.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Sorry to say, but no you can not use the desktop or standalone edition for integration with EBS.
In your case there are 2 alternatives for you:
1) Update the Unix shell script so it's ok for R12 (it did a good job for a long time on 11i)
2) Leave the unix script and redesign for BI Publisher (ebs edition)
Both are taking the same effort in my opinion, only since you moved to R12 it's a good learning moment to get to know the strength of BIP.
Since you task is to modify the standard Oracle solution, which i guess is an rtf template provided download the MS Word plugin and adjust the template
If any detail help needed please contact me directly

Not getting Euro Symbol in PDF Report using XML Publisher

Hi,
We have developed an Oracle Report from Report Builder 6i and also a Template in RTF Format.
We are using XML Publisher to display our XML Output in PDF Format to Users..
There is a Field called Comments on Customer Transaction Form, where user can enter any characters and that we are querying in Report and displaying on the PDF Output.
Currently, the user entered a Euro Character on the comments section and that was not visible to user on PDF Report and replaced by a Question Mark as below:
"3% price reduction ?89.91, 20% marine"
When i am Querying to the Database, i am able to see the Euro Symbol, but when i checked the XML generated on the Unix Box for the Report. I found as below:
"3% price reduction \342\202\25489.91, 20% marine"
So, the Euro Symbol on the database is replaced by " \342\202\254" in the XML Output and ? in the PDF Outbut.
Please help ASAP.
Regards
Saurabh Jaiswal

one way
value set based on view (view - select level id, chr(level) cl connect by level <= 500)
for example, chr(64) - @

<ROWSET>
<ROW>64</ROW>
</ROWSET>in rtf template pick
<?xdofx:chr(to_number(ROW))?>
select chr(14844588) from dual
