Text Direction in XML Publisher

I saw an earlier post from the summer of '06 about printing text vertically and I am wondering if anyone has figured it out. It's not static so I couldn't take the advice of creating an image of it and pasting it in. It's a barcode on a traveler that needs to be printed vertically due to constraints on room. It shows up fine in the template but when I try to output it in a pdf, html, or rtf it comes out horizontally. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I'm facing the same problem. Preview from MS Word works fine, but from eBS the vertical direction is not applied.
I've checked BIP version, which is 10.1.3.3.3
Where can I check the EBS version ?
Thanks in advance

Creating a text output using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Recently i created a report for my client using XMl Publisher. The Data Definition was XML and the template type was RTF and i got the output in a PDF format. All was going smoothly until the client decided at the last moment that they wanted to print this in a dot matrix printer!
I've read some articles on XSL- Text layout templates. But i can't get my head around it (I'm Functio-Technical as opposed to Techno-Functional )
How do i convert my RTF template to give me a text output?
Miranga

From what I know, you will have to create another template based on "XSL" layout or eText layout (both of them require different coding methods). The RTF can not create text outputs even in 11g. This is based on my experience so far. You can create RTF output (available by default) based on the current layout that you use for PDF and see if it can be printed in a dot matrix printer though.

You can try below ways

2>or create a table and inside that create one more inner table and add your fields.
3>or Create .XLS layout it will come properly.

I am using Oracle Application R12i version with Oracle database as 10g, base language as English and installed language as Arabic.
I am trying to print the data which is there in English/Arabic in Oracle Application(using XML Publisher).
I've created a rdf using Report Builder 10g and registered as concurrent program (XML as Output format). There after i executed the concurrent program and generated the XML file.
Based on the XML file, i created a rtf file using XML Desktop(in Ms word) and register the same rtf file in XML Publisher Administrator for creating the XML definition and Template and Output as PDF.
After creating a XML template, when i executed the Concurrent program, english text is shown in english but arabic text is shown some ascii characters like Question Mark(up side down).
Could anyone please let us know the steps for doing the same or plz let us know are we missing any step.

Using external XML document to update / change text fields inside of published captivate output.

Hello
I currently have a project where the client has requested to have the ability to update the text fields inside the project at a later date.
This is due to the nature of the content changing rather rapidly, i would like to set this up so the client can manage this them selfs.
What would the best way to do this be?
I'm thinking XML, an external XML sheet were by Captivate imports the text from this XML sheet and then displays it within the specific text fields contained within the captivate output.
This way the client would just update the external XML document(cut and paste the text in) and then the text would be dynamically updated in the published Captivate document.
any help would be amazing !
Thanks in advance
Nick

Hi Lieve
But isn't this thread more about an end user having an ability to change text after the Captivate has been published and delivered? I could see where that might be useful if making changes then publishing to create a new output. But I'm interpreting that the situation here is that a Captivate project has been published and delivered, and some mechanism is desired that allows the recipient to modify an external XML file to influence changes in the already compiled Captivate output.
Cheers... Rick

Error for fetching long text in xml tag for xml publisher report

My requirement is to fetch a large document which is in text format in XML output which can be printed in PDF format by using RTF method to generate PDF.But during XML ouput i got the following error-
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh
button, or try again later.
The following tags were not closed: XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1, LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1,
G_MEDIA...
XXBG_EAMWRREP_V1 is the rdf and LIST_G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, G_WO_ACTIVITY_CODE, LIST_G_MEDIA_ID1, G_MEDIA are the groups name. In the group
G_MEDIA i am fetching long_text from attahcment in application. In Database table the datatype of the text attachment is 'long' and there is a huge text
data loaded in large data editor of that column. If the text data volume is small enough then there is no problem for fetching the xml output.
If we change the output format as HTMl then there is no problem for fetching the output for long text but for xml output format we are unable to fetch the data
in xml tag.
One thing to mention the oracle report is the copy of Maintenance Work Order Detail Report. The seeded report is HTML format in 11i. The requirement is to make it in xml report.
Please help.

Scratch 22: Creating XML Publisher report from scratch in eBS

Problem:
How to build a XML Publisher (XMLP) report in eBS from scratch. Thus NOT adapting or converting an existing report.
Context:
I have an eBS R12 Vision instance up and running where I want to learn building XMLP reports.
This is what all tutorials I can find tell me to do:
Most reports apparently consist of a layout template e.g. TEST.rtf and a data template e.g. TEST.xml. Now in order to generate a new report layout I am supposed to take existing output in XML format and (using ‘Load Data’ function in Template Builder plugin in Word) specify in my layout template where and how I want the actual data to pop up. So far so good.
But now I want to build the data template from scratch and use it combined with a layout template. So I build the data template but can’t use that for building the layout template. For that I need output, for which I need a layout template.....
Sounds like Catch 22 to me. How do I break this?
1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
Oh yes, dunno the first thing about Java and do not have My Oracle Support..

1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
create data definition with your data template-> create concurrent -> output as xml -> run -> view output and your xml
I thought the XDODTEXE engine would pick up the (Layout) Template through concurrent program definition CPD short name which in turn points to the Data Definition (and thus Data Template). So does your answer mean I can call straight from CPD to Data Definition? I tried registering my Data Template in the Template Tab but it will not take XML as a type.2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
if you want to use xml publisher desktop then you need xml (with data, not definition)
So that's not an option I understand. Weird cuz I'd expect this to be technically easier.btw you can create your layout (rtf) without xml (data) and without data template (xml with select statement)
create filed and past tag definition
Yes but in that case I'd have an empty report. How would that help me?bouble click on filed:
"Text Form Field Options" -> "Add Help Text ..." -> "Status Bar" (tab) -> "Type your own:"
if you use bi publisher desktop plugin
bouble click on filed:
"BI Publisher Properties" -> "Advanced" -> "Code"
or switch to Word Properties
"BI Publisher Properties" -> "Word Properties" and use above path
3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
may be ;)

Pulling Signature into an XML Publisher report for Recruitment letters

Hi All,
I'm trying to create signed recruitment letters for the Talent Acquisition module and am not quite sure how to handle this technically.. I assume some customizations are in order...
I guess some of the questions I have are:
1) Is there OOTB functionality to handle Signatures in PS?
2) Do i store the image in the database or on an accessible network/local drive location?
3) Can XML Publisher handle this type of request?
4) Is there any documentation out there to explain this in more detail?
5) Any advice on how to proceed?
I also have a company logo they want pulled into the XML Publisher Report.. i assume it would be a simliar effect.
Anyway, I was hoping someone out there may have some advice on how to proceed.
Regards,
Greg

Below excerpt from Oracle XML Publisher Core Components Guide
Images
XML Publisher supports several methods for including images in your published document:
Direct Insertion*
Insert the jpg, gif, bmp, or png image directly in your template.
URL Reference*
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the
following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter:
url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
You can also build a URL based on multiple elements at runtime. Just use the
concat function to build the URL string. For example:
url:{concat(SERVER,'/',IMAGE_DIR,'/',IMAGE_FILE)}

XML Publisher CHARTS: mulit-dimensions not plotted correctly

Hi,
We're currently assessing the suitability of XMP Publisher and one of the deciding factors is to create a bar chart from an SQL query that retrieves multiple portfolios over a time-frame. For example, three portfolios are selected over a time period like 3 years (but there does not have to be a performance for every month) and their performance is plotted against each month (i.e. 0 - 3 Columns depending if a result exists per month). In the desktop publisher we struggled but managed to change the Graphics code until it could dynamically show the correct legend and the data rows, but alas the data points do not correspond correctly with the X-axis. It seems that when the rows are grouped each value is plotted against each column regardless of the tagged value used for the X-axis.
Let me try and put it this way, the first month had only 1 portfolio and the next month had all three, but on the graph the first month shows three columns, the records have slipped.
The code that we used was adapted from a forum entry by Klaus Fabian- "Re: Stacked Bar Chart
" (Servus Klaus;-)), but we need to find out how to adapt the code so that it plots the data correctly against the X-axis values.
Help!!!!
Cheers,
Robin.
Here's the code we used
chart:
<Graph>
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'TODATE'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'CODE'))}">
<RowLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="CODE">
<Label><xsl:value-of select="./CODE"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowLabels>
<ColLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="TODATE">
<Label><xsl:value-of select="./TODATE"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</ColLabels>
<DataValues>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="CODE">
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="TODATE">
<Cell><xsl:value-of select="./PERFORMANCE"/></Cell>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowData>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</DataValues>
</LocalGridData>
</Graph>

Hi,
I have finally found solution to this issue....
Two setups are required to display the charts in the concurrent program's PDF output:
1. We need to edit the variables CLASSPATH and AF_CLASSPATH. These variables should have the complete path added for the xdoparser.zip file on the server.
2. The DISPLAY variable should be correctly setup to direct the server output.
Also as per my findings so far, the BI (XML) publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 (or any 11g) does not work with EBS (at least for charts). We need to use BI publisher version which is XML 5.6.3 compatible for EBS. This version is 10.1.3.2.1. (patch 12395372) Now this 10g version does not work on Windows 7 so you need to use Windows XP!
With this... finally... your charts should be getting displayed in EBS output...
Cheers!! :-)

XML Publisher Report Error

Hi All,
I am trying to create an xml report from a standard oracle report. For that, I have copied the standard report's concurrent program and created a custom concurrent program by changing the output from 'Text' to 'XML'. When I run the custom report and took a look at the output of the concurrent program, I see the below error:
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://...
<DESCRIPTION>CD
t:1em;text-indent:-2em">- <G_ITEM>
<C_FLEX_ITEM>44-5555-66</C_FLEX_ITEM>
<DESCRIPTION>ABCD W/O PRRS</DESCRIPTION>
- <LIST_G_VENDOR>
- <G_VENDOR>
<VENDOR>VENDOR 123</VENDOR>
I see that the error is because, the xml parser has encountered a charecter '/' in the tag 'DESCRIPTION', which it is getting confused with the ending tag.
The charecter may be deleted if it as the case with the description of one item, but there are numerous item descriptions with / in them.
If this is the limitation of XML Publisher, could anyone please help me with the approach to create these kind of reports in XML Publisher?
Thanks in advance.

Well, I figured out what the problem was.

XML Publisher report giving XML tag output

Dear All,
Please note that we need to convert the standard report 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' to XML Publisher report.
But we were not able to get the desired PDF output instead it shows only XML output.
This report is not a direct concurrent program call to rdf, this concurrent program is triggered from a function.
How can we overcome this issue..,
Please update,
Many thanks...,

Hi Kiran,
Please find the below info:
Could you please confirm whether you have made the standard program's executable as 'XDODTEXE', and created a data definition with the rdf shorname and Data templte with the template defined.
-- Done
Could you also provide how your calling the report and when the request submitted are u able to see the template name on the submitted request ?
-- The report is called through the application (in Bill of materials through a Form Function) When we select the comparison, it will display a comparison form, where we need to select the appropriate parameters and a button called 'Report' if clicked, it will fire the 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' concurrent program
But after the concurrent program submission, we cannot see any template been attached to the submitted conc. pprog. but the template is been already attached to the concurrent program through the XML Publisher Administrator
Many thanks....

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

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
