Report VS Excel output using XML Publisher tool (DBMS_XMLGEN)

Hi All,
Currently I am working on report generation in MRP module with Excel output using XML Publisher tool.
XML tool works based on query.
I have developed PLSQL block by using DBMS_XMLGEN – database package, to generate XML output of query.
My question is how we can put generated xml on above PLSQL block into OUT file (APPS).
Because DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( ) has limitation, it allow 255 character string only.
But I do not know, Is FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’’) allow for large data?
If it does not allow what will be the other solution in oracle application to resolve above problem.
Let me know any queries regarding to this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Sai Krishna @cavaya.com

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for the reply. We did apply the one-off patch and got rid of the problem of not viewing 'Excel' output using XMLP.
Now we are looking at a different perspective:
Basically our client is looking for the following:
1. Mathematical functions in the resulting XLS (like SUM, AVG etc..) ouput
2. Use of macros if possible.
And to do this i am looking out for a sample template that gives me output in excel format I have a TAR with Oracle for this purpose, but the TAR has so far been unsuccessful in providing us with any material in the direction.
Our client remembers seeing this as a demo at the Oracle Conference this yr at San Fransisco, but does not have a sample to provide us. We are looking for such a sample.
Thx,

Converting Excel Output to Text File (Text(MS-DOS)) in oracle 6i

I have been able to save Excel Output to Text File (.txt) using OLE. However, I need to save it as TEXT(MS-DOS) specifically due to certain formatting issues.
Kindly suggest some solution.
I need it very urgently.
Thanks!

Hello Sandy,
does this mean that you created an Excel file using OLE and named it *.txt?
And what do you mean by saving as TEXT(MS-DOS)? A csv file?

Anyone know how to output an XML file from ABAP to a non sapgui location?

I have a program that creates XML and then outputs a file via CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download. But now I want to execute the program in background mode and therefore I need to be able to output that XML to a NON sapgui file location. Current code creates the XML to an internal table which is binary then the gui_download method converts that to output XML. . Does anyone know how I can change the code to either a) output the XML to an internal table which can be output via, say, a TRANSFER command..or, b) output the created binary table of XML to a NON sapgui file location?
Excerpts from current code are as follows:
first the XML is created (to the binary file)
 Creating a ixml factory
l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
 Creating the dom object model
l_document = l_ixml->create_document( ).
 Fill root node with value XML
l_element_xml = l_document->create_simple_element(
 name = 'XML'
 parent = l_document ).
 Create tag 'HEADER' as child of 'XML'
l_element_header = l_document->create_simple_element(
 name = 'HEADER'
 parent = l_element_xml ).
header information about the file and general data about the fleet follows
l_value = c_fleet_import.
l_element_dummy = l_document->create_simple_element(
 name = 'TYPE'
 value = l_value
 parent = l_element_header ).
etc.......
then the xml is connected to the stream factory and rendered
Creating a stream factory
l_streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
Connect internal XML table to stream factory
l_ostream = l_streamfactory->create_ostream_itable( table = l_xml_table ).
Rendering the document
l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = l_ostream
 document = l_document ).
l_rc = l_renderer->render( ).
Saving the XML document
l_xml_size = l_ostream->get_num_written_raw( ).
and then output to the file
IF sy-subrc = 0.
 CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
 EXPORTING
 bin_filesize = l_xml_size
 filename = 'g:\sapdms\BSCC-DEV\EFPAC XML Files\ALL.xml'
 filename = '/TRICK/727/OUT/ZEFP/EFPAC.XML' "doesnt work with sap gui
 filetype = 'BIN'
 CHANGING
 data_tab = l_xml_table
 EXCEPTIONS
 OTHERS = 24.
as implied by the comments the method above will successfully output the XML file to the g:drive but will not output to /TRICK/ location, which is where I need it to go in a background mode run.
This is a problem which has defeated all our local expertise and I would appreciate any help given... Barry Jones

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
 filetype = 'BIN'
 changing
 data_tab = l_xml_table

 others = 24.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.

 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
 endif.

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!

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.

How-to use Excel for the XML file input?

Hello all,
Following our discussion with Gerhard Steinhuber on the very nice tutorial from Horst Schaude , "How to upload mass data via XML File Input" , I am starting this new discussion.
In the comments section of this previous cited tutorial, Rufat Gadirov explains how to use a generated XML from Eclipse instead of your XSD file as your source in Excel.
However, in spite of all the instructions, I am still facing the same issue in Excel when I try to save my file as XML : "The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable".
What I try to do is to create one or more Sales Orders with multiple Items in it from a XML File Input, using excel to enter data.
The part with the File input is working (if I directly upload my file to the webDAV, it creates a sales order instance with multiple items).
The only missing part is the Excel data input that I cannot make work. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my XML file that I try to use as a source in Excel before inputing data from Excel:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hello Jacques-Antoine,
I suppose that as you have tried to construct a map from the schema, you have taken the elements from the List level down. In this case I also can't export the map.
But if you take the elements from the level MySalesOrderUploaded down, you'll get the exportable map (screenshots)

You should put this issue on the XML Pub forum.
I remember some specific setting required for linking images off the instance top. Check the XML Pub dev guide.

Creating XML nested tags as output in XML files

Hello:
My question is a little extraordinary compared to most users since I am
primarily concerned with the xml output that is generated when a form is
submitted and emailed to a recipient.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to design a form that can generate an xml file containing nested XML tags using Designer? (See sample output below).
Example:
 PARTIAL
 MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY
Our company needs this type of nested code for input so we can paste it into a database field we are testing. I have other concerns but I'll defer these to another forum question.
Regards.

What you are trying to do is change your XML schema on the fly. In my opinion, this is not a good idea, because the data is no longer consistent. Couldn't you just add an index attribute to your xml? For example: <SUBUNIT> <INDEX>1</INDEX> <LENGTH></LENGTH> <SEQUENCE> ELEESGGGLVQPGGRQSPEKGLETHYAE </SEQUENCE> <N_TERMINAL>Yes</N_TERMINAL> <C_TERMINAL></C_TERMINAL> </SUBUNIT> <SUBUNIT> <INDEX>2</INDEX> <LENGTH></LENGTH> <SEQUENCE> ELEESGGGLVQPGGRQSPEKGLETHYAE </SEQUENCE> <N_TERMINAL>No</N_TERMINAL> <C_TERMINAL></C_TERMINAL> </SUBUNIT> Justin Klei Cardinal Solutions Group www.cardinalsolutions.com

Amount formating in Excel output of XML Publisher Report

Hi,
I have to display my XML output in Excel format. I want the output of amount column to be displayed in form '#,###.00' and the negatives numbers are to be displayed in parenthesis. For eg number -234.5 should be displayed as (234.50).
I tried <?format-number:AMOUNT;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?> and also <?format-currency:OPEN_BALANCE;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?>.
Both of these works in PDF output, but its not working for Excel output.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

Problem with Cell size in Excel output of XML report

Dear all,
I am facing a problem with cell size when i run my XML report in Excel output. I found that it imitates the cell size of whatever i gave in the RTF. I cannot increase the cell size in RTF as my report contains 60 columns and max width of MS Word table is 22 inches.
Can any one suggest a way of doing this which shows full data in Excel sheet depending on the column data size with out any word wrap.
Thanks

Hi ,
You can try with
<xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="wrap-option">no-wrap</xsl:attribute>

Getting question marks in html output when xml file has an mdash or rsquo

I have a java servlet that gets an xml file out of ifs, applies
a style sheet to it, and sends it to the browser as html.
I have:
DOMparser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(XmlUrl);
The characters ampersand, greater than, less than, and
apostrophe work fine.
HOWEVER, When the xml file has an mdash(&#X2014) or a rsquo
(&#x2019) in it, my html output in IE shows up with question
marks where these characters are supposed to be.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I don't understand
why it would work with some special characters and not others?

UPDATE
Compiling from command line I found out that the class definition for oracle.oats.scripting.modules.basic.api.IteratingVUserScript is missing. Do you know what .jar file contains this class?
Thanks.

ABAP Query output to XML file using Business connector

Hi All,
I would request your help on to know, how can I read the output of ABAP query executed in SAP system via Business connector and then generate a XML file.
Also the existing business connector system, generates the XML file in encoding iso-8859-1. Where as customer wants the output XML file in encoding windows-1252.
Please help with your valuable ideas.
Thanks,

Hello,
possible solution:
1. create a remote function module (FM) in SAP which returns your needed data
2. create outbound map in BC for this FM
3. call this FM from BC in a flow
3. extract the result to XML (e.g. with service recordToDocument)

Excel output using XML Publisher 5.5

Hi,
We are trying to obtain output of a simple customer summary report in 'EXCEL" format. For this purpose we have registered a 'RTF' template using which we get output in PDF/RTF formats. We are trying the 'EXCEL' format for the first time. Each time we run the concurrent request for XMLP, and then click 'View Output' we get a pop saying the following message
"ORA-1403: no data found". The same report works perfectly fine when i run it using the template builder/viewer tool i have on my desktop. Can some throw light on this issue that we are facing.
Please note that this is extremely important for us, as we plan to design a 'Gross Margin' report using XMLP in 'EXCEL' format and for this, this needs to work. Any inputs will be helpful.
It would be great if someone in thr group can share a sample RTF template that generates output in 'Excel ' format.
Tx,
Nitin Jain
