Difference between XML Publisher and BI Publisher

Dear Members,
Recently I've started using XML Publisher Desktop V 5.5 with Oracle Applications V 11.5.10.2
In many forums and sites, most of the users are referring as XML Publisher or BI Publisher. Can any one please explain me the below points:
1/ What is the difference between XML Publisher and BI Publisher.
2/ Can I use BI Publisher with Oracle Applications V 11.5.10.2? If YES what I need to do to use BI Publisher?
Your inputs will be of great help to me.
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arun Reddy D.

In the main page of this forum, there are announcements... check "Naming and Versioning" -- might help you.

XML Publisher and Faxing?

Although I would have thought that the use of fax for document distribution was on the decline it seems to have come up quite frequently lately.
If you are planning on exploring the use of XMLP or are currently using it how important is the ability to automatically fax the output of a report?

In our business, a significant number (~30%) of our business partners ONLY communicate via telco (i.e. voice, fax); so we need the agility to communicate in the partners "best available method" (i.e. voice, fax, e-mail, XML, EDI), ideally with a dream of "seamless transposition" to fail-over methods as communication methods can and do fail. Right now, I would love just to have XML Publishing available in my 8.9 Citrix environment! While it adds to the business case for upward migration, it also acts as a boat anchor since we have invested a bunch of effort to make this work in JDE environments that do not support XML Publisher.

PROBLEM WITH XML PUBLISHER AND GRAPH NOT DISPLAYING IN ORACLE APPS

Hi
All you XML Gurus here. I have a problem, When i create a report in XML Publisher desktop i can see a graph im putting into the report on preview and works fine. But when i upload the report as a rtf file into Oracle applications i can see everything else the table logo and stuff .. But just not the Graph Itself when run on the concurrant manager....
Problem number 2
Is there a way that i can use XML Desktop and create a line graph with 2 lines rather than 1 plotting
here is my xml for graph i have made with one line
chart:
<Graph>
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(.//SELF_OTHERS)}" rowCount="1">
<RowLabels><Label></Label></RowLabels>
<ColLabels>
<xsl:for-each select=".//SELF_OTHERS"> <Label><xsl:value-of select="BEHAVIOUR"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each>
</ColLabels>
<DataValues>
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each select=".//SELF_OTHERS"> <Cell><xsl:value-of select="SCORE"/></Cell>
</xsl:for-each> </RowData>
</DataValues>
</LocalGridData>
</Graph>
All help would be much appreciated to my 2 problems....
Thanks

XML Publisher and the Oracle Shipping Transactions Form

I am running 11.5.10.2. I need to print Simplified Chinese characters in a document. We converted to the UTF-8 character set so the server can render these on forms and such. I am using Oracle Reports 6i to produce a report, but due to the limitations with this product it will not produce PDF output with Chinese characters. XML Publisher however works great. The concurrent manager is set so the report produces XML which is then set to the template and out comes a really cool looking layout with Chinese that can be viewed, printed, or e-mailed anywhere.
Now I have put this report into a document set so it can be printed from the Shipping Transactions form. But it does not work. There is no output. Metalink Note:312194.1 states development only supports XSL-FO and this will not be available until R12.
Is this really true? Has anyone else come across this? Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Hi
Im assuming you are using the EBusiness Suite becasue of your reference to AR and AP modules. If so getting using an ORacle Report as a datasource for XMLP to format is pretty straightforward. There is a white paper on metalink describe the complete process - Note 295409.1. This will be available on the public site soon http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/publishing/index.html
As for AR and AP, there is no reason at all why you can not use XMLP with the existing Oracle Reports in those modules. You will start to see more and more modules providing embedded reporting functionality in the EBS based on XMLP technologies.

XML Publisher and Application Engine in Peoplesoft

How do i write a simple application engine program for an XML Publisher report in Peoplesoft?
Thanks in advance.

Create sample output data in xml format and create a data source type rowset.
create the report defination with above data source.
Create a AE and create the rowset by using peoplecode, run the xmlp report by using PeopleCode and publish it in PeopleCode.

XML Publisher and Spawned processes

Does XML Publisher work with statements in the Ebusiness Suite as they are spawned processes and not your usual oracle report?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
Yes it does but it is a two step process. When you run statements it doesn't call the output post processor to generate the XMLP Output. You need to either run the XML Report Publish request, or call via the submit request api from the after report trigger.
From memory it is the ARXSGP conc program you need to set to output as XML not ARXSGPO. ARXSGP is spawned by ARXSGPO.
Thanks

Sales - Quoting Functionality - XML Publisher and XSL.

Hi ,
We have changed output in Quoting to use XML Publisher instead of Reports Server.
How can we view the XML tags to create the XSL file?
Its possible to see XML output from PO's , SOA's etc when printed vis Concurrent Mgr and Oracle Forms but the raw XML is not available when using in Sales and Printing a Quote ( uses sample xsl in XML Publisher at the moment...Am formatting this.. but have no raw xml).
Any ideas?
Cheers
Stephen

I know what I can do in RTF and maybe it´s enough:
1. Ensure you are using both tabs of the help text, you can start in Status Bar and continue with Help Key.
2. You can also use multiple fields one after another.
3. If you fill all of that and need more space I would consider moving the function out into its own XSL template and register it as a sub template and reference it from your main template. This is especially useful if you are going to need the same function across multiple templates.
My problem was why I can´t use XSL-FO - XML in XMLSPY, have´nt anybody tried to go out of the WORD-RTF and code som XSL? Maybe it´s not possible and I have to use WORD-RTF.

XML Publisher and namespace

I´m using XML Publisher 5.5 with Template Builder. I have created an RTF document that works perfect with XML Publisher. I now want work more complicated with my template using XSL. I have through Template Builder created an XSL-FO style sheet.
I open the xsl-doc in XMLSPY, assinging an xml-doc and try to preview expecting the result to be the same as using Template Builder but the layout gets all messed up and I get an error that says that the namespace xmlns:xdofo="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/fo/extensions" is invalid.
The complete start tag:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:ora="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/"
xmlns:xdofo="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/fo/extensions"
xmlns:xdoxslt="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.XSLTFunctions"
xmlns:xdoxliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.1">
Does anybody know where I should point my namespace or what I´m doing wrong?

Daniel

XML Publisher and Oracle 11i10

Has anyone used XML Publisher with 11i10? I heard that AR, GL, and AP (11i10) are not compatible with XML Publisher - is this true? I thought was the XML Publisher was independent of modules.
Pls share any experience with the tool - challenges, installation, comparison to Optio, etc.
Thanks,

Hi Vishnu
XMLPublisher is compatible with all 11i10 modules to varying degrees. At its basic level you can take an application's existing Oracle Reports and apply RTF layout templates using XMLP to generate PDF, HTML,Excel and RTF. Applications are building out new templates all the time but its pretty straightforward to do this yourself, check the concurrent manager integration white paper on metalink.
Many applications have embedded XMLP technology allowing you to generate output via their UI. For example you can now generate a high fidelity purchase order including terms and conditions directly from the PO UI.
Moving forward you will see more and more integration with XMLP as it is now the production reporting standard for the EBusiniess Suite.

Tim

I want to produce an XML file from XML Publisher and Burst it as XML

Hi,
I have XML data and I want to make a template that will generate an XML file from this data so I will be able to burst it.
The output file of the bursting needs to be XML.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Chen.

If you used your computer as part of the VHS to DVD process, then you'll have a digital audio file that we can find, but I'm guessing you used a VHS to DVD standalone recorder. If so, you can use some free software called MPEG Streamclip:
- insert your DVD, and Quit from the DVD Player if it starts automatically.
- start MPEG Streamclip and open the DVD; then open the Video TS folder and open the first of the .VOB files (repeat this step until you find the file you're interested in).
- use the Export to AIFF option and you'll have the audio file.
- you'll be able to bring this file into iTunes, burn it to CD, etc.

XML Publisher and Garnishments

We are converting our code from Optio to XML Publisher. We started with what we thought was our most simplistic form (Garnishments), but have been unable to find what process to relate the XML template to in order to get our output.
If anyone out there has setup garnishments out of Oracle Payroll with XML Publisher I would greatly appreciate some insight on how this was done so we can move forward. We've been stalled for a couple weeks.
Thanks,
Adam Cumming

Hi, were you able to implement XML Checkwriter with garnishments eventually? Oracle is still working on it (BUG 6779249 ), but if you have a workaround, Could you please teach me how to do it. This is critical for our go live.
Thanks, NG

XML Publisher and HTML DB

Hello;
Is anyone out there have integrated the XML Publisher with Application Express (aka HTML DB) ?
Thank you.
Shaun

Hi Mike,
i'm looking for the same info about integrating xml pub with htmldb.
For now i'm only testing it, however i heard that can be paid as well 40$ for employee.
Is not too much as we pay as well microsoft...
However would be nice to have a separate price list regarding only the xml publ. (such as it's a standalone product)
However did you go further into the evaluation of htmldb + xml pub?
thanx
