Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12

Hi All,
We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Raja

Hi Raja,
I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"
Good Luck,

The steps I followed to create the report are
1. I have created a concurrent program with executable as XDODTEXE.
2. Created a Data Template
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<dataTemplate name="DATA" version="1.0">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_po_number" dataType="varchar2"/>
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="ROW">
<![CDATA[select pha.segment1, pra.release_num,pra.org_id
from
po_headers_all pha,
po_releases_all pra
where
pha.po_header_id=pra.po_header_id and
pha.segment1=:p_po_number]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
</dataTemplate>
3. I have created a data definition with concurrent program short name as code and uploading data template.
4.I have created a rtf template and registered against the data definition.
When I run the concurrent program, its failing with the above mentioned error, I am not able to debug out of it.
Could somebody please help me?
Thanks in Advance,
Thiru

Hi,
I don't see any issue with data template. it works fine for me .
Make sure the CP program shortname and Application name are the same as data definiton code and application name.
As per the error It seems the JCP could not get the data template from repository and its passing null.
What xdo version you are using ?

XML Publisher/Report Definition - Excel Template Issue

Hi everyone,
I'm Diego, and I've been getting some issue to upload/download Excel templates using XML Publisher and Report Definition.
I've been working over Real Estate Module and I get an activity to make an Excel Report. I've made all necessary step to make an excel template; create a .xls template, uploading the file to XML Publisher Repository, creating a Report Definition associating a RDA, and so on...
When I generate the file in the Web (DV), it doesnt work; when I download the final excel, it doesnt appear any information. It comes just the statics texts and formatting, the real data information inside xml doesn't appear at excel.
I've made a lot of tests and changes, but without success.
FYI, I've already made a .rtf template and it worked well.
I'd really apreciate if anyone help me or at least having any clue about it.
Thanks so much,
Diego Santos

Hi my friend,
First of all, thanks for reply.
I've checked the template definition, and it seems OK.
I've created the XML Publish Repository with Object Type = TL, in excel template I didn't put any additional info, (the field Template Type = TYPE_EXCEL_TEMPLATE cames by default).
As I told above, i've made many tests..with and without grouping, but no success.
However, when I test it locally it works. When I test the .xls + xml using Template Viewer runs well. But when I download the .xls on Web, it didn't retrieve any data information. =/
I've already downloaded this doc, and I'm using it as support.
If you need any more information, pls let me know that I'll tell you in a sec.
Thanks a lot,
Diego

XML Publisher report in EBS - Parameter Form Problem

Hi,
XML Publisher is a very powerful tool for report developing.
In EBS, we have some efficient issue for showing the parameter form when submit a concurrent program.
If the report is D2K Report or PL/SQL script, when submit a request, it almost shows the parameter form immediately after entering the name of the concurrent program.
But if the report output is XML and generate report using XML Publisher, it takes about 1 minutes to show the parameter form.
Is there any setting should be tuning in our environment or some patches should be applied??
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Zhxiang.

Hi All,
Is there any suggestion, for the issue that t takes long time to show the parameter form?
Thanks in advance,
Zhxiang

We recently upgraded to TestStand 2012, and we are having trouble with the creating a readable report. We have the results set to .xml. Previously we were using TestStand 4.2 and we were able to convert the .xml to .xls using a stylesheet. But this doesn't work now. I’m getting an error – doesn’t have a top level element. We installed TestStand 2012 using a new enterprise site license, and I wondering if we are missing something on the install. I don't see any TestStand 2012 folder in the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand xxx. Also is there a better way to create reports that are already converted to .xls, so that anyone can read the reports using excel?
Thanks, Dale
I do not think TestStand ships with a stylesheet to do any such conversion, so I am assuming this is a custom stylesheet that you have either written or gotten from a 3rd party. It's possible something is formatted differently in the xml in TestStand 2012 that your stylesheet is not expecting. You might need to debug and modify your stylesheet to make it work with TestStand 2012.
There should be a TestStand folder. Perhaps you are on a 64-bit OS in which case the folder would be located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand xxx
Hope this helps,

XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

Hi,
We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
We have also defined template for this.
Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.

Problem in XML Publisher Report submission from OAF Pages

Hi,
I am trying to submit Concurrent Program from OAF Page which is an XML Publisher Report.
The request is Submitting and Completing successfully but when we open to view the out put we are able to view the HTML tags.
We checked the same Concurrent program by submitting from the SRS window After completing if we click on view output the rtf file is getting opened correctly.
I tested with normal rdf report it is working fine with standard Concurrent program used in OAF
So my doubt is
Does the Standard Concurrent program used in OAF supports the rtf reports.
Please suggest if any modifications to be done in the Concurrent program
Krishna

Krishna
Modified your code a little bit.Use this
    public int submitCPRequest(String shipmentId) {
    System.out.println("into submitCPRequest");
        OAPageContext pageContext;
        OAWebBean webBean;
    try {
OAApplicationModule am =pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)am.getOADBTransaction();
    java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
    ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
    String applnName = new String("XXAPL"); //Application that contains the concurrent program
    System.out.println("ApplName"+ applnName);
    String cpName = new String("XXAPLPOSMPRD"); //Concurrent program name
    System.out.println("Concc Name"+ cpName);
    String cpDesc = new String(" APL PO Shipping Material Pickup Request"); // concurrent Program description
    // Pass the Arguments using vector
    // Here i have added my parameter headerId to the vector and passed the
    //vector to the concurrent program
    Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
    cpArgs.addElement(shipmentId);
    System.out.println("Args"+ cpArgs);
    // Calling the Concurrent Program
    int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName,cpDesc, null, false, cpArgs);
    cr.addLayout("XXAPL", "XXAPLPOSMPRT", "ENG", "US" , "RTF");
    System.out.println("Req Id"+ requestId);
    tx.commit();
    return requestId;
        catch (RequestSubmissionException e) {
        System.out.println("Into Exception");
        OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
        oe.setApplicationModule(this);
        throw oe;
        catch(Exception exception)
        throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);

Problem to display a negative number in XML Publisher output in excel

Hi All,
I am facing problem in displaying a negative number in XML Publisher output in excel.
My requirement is that I have to display a negative number in brackets when the output is taken in excel format. Eg: If the value is -123 then i have to display it as (123).
I have put these brackets using a formula column in the RDF, but it is the default functionality of excel that whenever there is a number in brackets then it automatically displays that as a negative value.
Can anyone please help me how I can display this negative number within brackets and not as a negative digit. Is there any special tag or is there any formula which can be used to convert this into text and written in the Help text of RTF template.
This is very urgent. If someone knows please reply asap.
Regards,
Shruti

XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

Hello,
I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Do anyone have a solution for this
Thanks in advance

Xml publisher report using RTF in Excel is coming as wrap text?

Hi,
I am working on XML publisher report, I have converted standard report to xml publisher , to generate the report in excel.
But the output is coming as Wrap text, is there a way to get the output directly without wrap ?
Thanks
Dev

Hi Dev,
You can try below ways
1>change the setting in table properties to fit table cell as per contents.
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.
Thanks
