Is it possible that 1 RTF template with 1 xml file produces many PDF files

Hello,
We are using XML publisher with eBS.
As part of it, we've got treatments that generate invoices.
One treatment produces 1 big XML file with many invoices in it.
Currently, this big XML file generates one big PDF file with all the invoices.
I'd like to know if it's possible to keep the big XML file (with many invoices), and instead, generate 1 PDF file per invoice ?
Basically we would like to split the big PDF file into small PDF, one PDF file per invoice .
If it's possible, then, how can we do it ?
I hope my explanation is clear.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Olivier

Have you tried the BI publisher bursting feature?
Take a look at this:

Unable to establish a for loop in custom rtf template for seeded xml file

Hi Experts ,
I am Unable to establish a for loop in custom rtf template for seeded xml file. i am using <?:for-each:G_BSALINE?> FORM FIELD .....<?:FOR-EACH?END> .AM i missing something?
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
Need more information about your XML data structure; however based on the code you provided, the synax does not look right; you have some colon sign where it is not needed etc... You could use the following (although not quite sure if you want to use Form Filed to group by or just display), but look at the example provided below.
<?for-each-group:G_BSALINE?> FORM FIELD .....<?end for-each-group?>
Example code:
<?for-each-group:G_INVOICE_NUM;./INV_TYPE?>
xxxxxxxxxx
<?end for-each-group?>
Thanks!

How do you retrieve a file in numbers that keeps coming up with index.xml file

I'm not able to retrieve spreadsheet I've done in Numbers..the prompt index.xml file is missing keeps popping up. Please help. This is information I've been inputting for a couple of years now. I need it.
Thank you,

Hi Sandy,
This reply from Fruhulda may help you. It refers to Pages, but the same methods should work in Numbers. Read the whole thread.
Re: The required index.xml file is missing.
Let me know if it works.

Printing invoice with only XML file

Hi all,
I have a problem. When the invoice print with XMLP 5.6.2 is OK, but users want the possibility to reprint the same invoice with the same informations when they want (same if the bill's addresse has changed, for example). Is it possible to reprint the invoice with the XML file generated at the first time and how?
Thanks

You can do this by running XML Report Publisher and selecting the original request that was run. This will pick up the original XML and apply it to the specified template to recreate the original invoice(s).
Cheers,
Dave

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

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

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

RTF Template Logo boarders get changed in apps pdf output

Hi,
I developed rtf template with logo , rtf page header is 0" and margins are 0.2" and 0.25" (minimum for ms word to print).
I don't want to have any space b/w header and logo.
Preview in rtf template in pdf format is showing with correct margins.
But when i print the pdf preview, the logo changes its positin..ie..margins get changed.
when i attach to template in apps, the pdf output is coming with different boarders sizes.
PDF O/P is having space at the header ie..b/w header and logo.
any suggestions.
Thanks.

I figured out why the layout is changing when I print - page scaling option in Adobe was set to 'fit to printable area'. Is there some way that I can ensure whomever prints the file (3rd party provider) has this setting turned off? A command embedded in the template? A config file?
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.......

Different templates with different datasource files

Hi All,
Can someone tell me how we can have two different templates with different datasource files in one BIP report.
I need PDF template based on one xml file and CSV teamplate based on another in one report.
Thanks.

you can have two data-set or query , and select concatenated data and have a single xml file.
But pdf template will look at those, dataset in the xml, which you want. and CSV will look only on the other dataset.
what method are you using for CSV ?

Anyone with a LR flash gallery that starts with slideshow in play mode?
Can it even be set to do this?
The only code in the style.xml that looks like it might be realted is line 12 <playOptions playMode="pause"/>, changing that to "play" does nothing.

Velocity Templates - output an XML File

Greetings,
I'm a bit stuck on finding a way to have a Servlet using Velocity Templates, output an XML file. I know how to set the mime type and all that jazz in the Velocity Template. My problem is that all templates seem to be wrapped with the .htm extension.
Program flow is basically calling the template from a servlet and displaying the XML in the template.
So, using Velocity templates is their a way to:
a. change the file extension that is served
b. any other way to accomplish having an XML file served from a template
Thank you in advance!
-peter

Try this code below:
data l_xml_table2 type table of xml_line with header line.
W_filename - This is a Path.
if w_filename(02) = '
    open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
      loop at l_xml_table2.
        transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
      endloop.
    endif.
    close dataset w_filename.
else.
    call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
      exporting
        bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = w_filename

      changing
        data_tab     = l_xml_table

Is it possible to have 2 different output config XML files and index the data into 2 endeca apps using the same indexing component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin

Hi ,
We have a catalog that defines 2 types of products (they have too many different properties), so wanted to keep them on two different MDEX engines and serve the applications requests. Here DB catalog and front end ATG application is same for both the MDEX instances.
Is it possible to have 2 different output config XML files and index the data into 2 endeca apps using the same indexing component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin?
Thanks
Dev

Hi, also have had some problem some monthes ago - I created separete component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdminSecond. After that one of my colleage gave me some advice:
The creating separate component like ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin for the second IOC is possible way for resolving your situation. But I afraid that this way will be required creating mane duplicates for already existed components.
In my opinion the better way is the following:
starting from AssemblerApplicationConfiguration and ApplicationConfiguration component. It contains details for connecting between ATG and Endeca. Of course you should configure different components for different Endeca Apps.
After that:
Find all components that uses AssemblerApplicationConfiguration and ApplicationConfiguration. Customize these components for using one or another *Configuration component depending on what index works. (many variants released it: the most simple global custom component with flag.)
Then customize the existed ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin. Using one or another IOC and setting the flag in global custom component when index started. You can add some methods into your custom ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin like:
Execute baseline index for both IOC (one by one)
Execute baseline for IOC 1
Execute baseline for IOC 2.
Note: you should be afraid about incremental (partial) index in this configuration. But resolving conflicts in incremental index should be done after full implementation these changes.

Problem with Stack XML file

Hello,
We have an ECC 6 system with EHP 4 SPS 5 and we watn to install a new Technical Usage (IS-OIL, IS-PRA and IS-UT)
In order to do that I have to supply an xml file created by the MOPZ.
I created a new MOPZ transaction, in the phaze "Update Options" I selected : Enhancement Package Installation,
Afterwards I selected in Target Enhancment package stack : SAP ERP Enhanecment Package 4 on NW7.01 - SP Stack 05
We do not want to upgrade the Stack to a latter one.
I have selected Oil & Gas with Utilities and continued.
The Sack XML that was created contained SAP-APPL, SAP-BASIS and SAP-ABA in patch level 8. we do not want to upgrade these components.
Is there a way to install a new Technical Usage without upgrading these components?
and if there is how can I create XML file suited for this situation?
Please Advice,
Zvi Gilinsky

Hello,
There is an equivalence of Support Package levels between EHP stacks and baseline ERP 6 stacks. Note 1064635 has a list of these equivalences.
In any case, stack 5 for EHP4 of ERP should include stack 5 of NW 701.
By your description it looks like you are having a Maintenance Optimizer issue. What is the Maintenance Optimizer stack level?
Best regards,
Miguel Ariñ

Problems with reading XML files with ISO-8859-1 encoding

I read files from the web, but there is a XML tag
with the encoding attribute in the RSS file.If you are quite sure that you have an encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-1 then I expect that your RSS file has non-ISO-8859-1 character though I thought all bytes -128 to 127 were valid ISO-8859-1 characters!
Many years ago I had a problem with an XML file with invalid characters. I wrote a simple filter (using FilterInputStream) that made sure that all the byes it processed were ASCII. My problem turned out to be characters with value zero which the Microsoft XML parser failed to process. It put the parser in an infinite loop!
In the filter, as each byte is read you could write out the Hex value. That way you should be able to find the offending character(s).

Begging for help with podcast xml file

Hey All,
I have a podcast on iTunes. I am hosting the xml file and podcast mp3s on a friends server so Im not using any service. Everything is working and Ive sucessfully added 4 podcasts so far, and it shows up correctly in iTunes on my PC.
However my podcasts do not showup correct in the iTunes store website, or on idevices. Meaning, I number my shows 001_"NAME" 002_"NAME" etc. Yet in the iTunes store they show up out of order. So my last show is not at the top its at the bottom, and they are all mixed up (like 002, 001, 004, 003 instead of 4,3,2,1) Also the publish date is the same on two of them (and not what i have in the xml file) and doesnt show up at all on the other two. I assume this is a problem with the xml file, yet I dont see any problems with it. But it seems odd that it all works correctly in the actual iTunes program. Ive tried different code, but im very much a noob at it, and everything i find online is from 5 - 10 years ago or wants you to host your podcasts with their site and I dont need that.
Here is the link to the show on the iTunes website so you can see what i mean: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/your-reality-recap/id501295325
If anybody can, would you mind checking out the code in my xml file and letting me know if you see anything thats causing this issue?
I zipped the xml file and put it here: http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YRR.zip
I would be truly greatfuly for any help with this. Ive been trying to fix this for days and dont know what else to do.
Thanks!
Eric

Your feed is at http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YourRealityRecap.xml (please always post the feed URL, not its contents or a copy).
I don't see the issues you mention. The order in the Store and when subscribing is what I would expect:
The order in the Store depends on clicking the header to the column: the default is the first one. Some of the dates are a day out - this is quite commmon and is probably a time zone issue (it may be different where you are - I'm in the UK). I don't know why you are seeing a garbled order unless you've clicked on one of the other columns in the Store.
