XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,

Hi Venkat
What version of XMLP are you using ?
Check the user guide, there is an entry in there describing how to specifiy the check box glyph to be used for checks and unchecked.
Its will either be set using the UI or thru a config file depending on your version.

Adnan zafar goraya

Hello Adnan,
To have the XML Publisher graphs display when started from Concurrent request, the DISPLAY environment variable must be specified.
Please review the following Note on how to setup the Xserver
Configuring VNC Or XVFB As The X Server For Applications 11i (Doc ID 181244.1)
After this is done, you can run once again the concurrent program and check the output.

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 not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,
Ram.

XML Publisher Report not displaying Chart/Graph in Excel Output

Hi All,
We are currently on Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2
I am facing an issue with XML Publisher based report when i try to fetch the output in Excel.
We have created an RTF in which i have embedded a graph. While viewing the output in PDF everything seems to work fine.
however when i try to run the report with output as Excel the Graph is not displayed.
Can you please let me know if i missed anything.
Also it would be very helpful if someone can tell me how to get the output of Excel in .XLSX format.
I have seen in various forums that you need to select the output type as Excel 2007, but i am not getting any such option while submitting the report.
I am on EBS version 11.5.10.2 do we need to install any patch to get the output option.

Template Builder (XML Publisher Report) for Open Office

Hi,
Do any body has any idea, if can have template builder for Open Office also, My company has un installed MS Office from my machine, and they dont have license now.
Thanks and Regards,
Nidhi Gupta

Hi All,
I think Oracle can provide a BI Publisher Software for the Open Office, since the licencing cost for MS Office is very high.
"OpenOffice Writer" is a open source alternative to MS Word and can be used on Linux. If I am using Linux OS and have to work on BI Publisher templates then certainly I will have to install Windows or use WINE ( I donno how it works but heard of it)
Other Oracle tools such as SQL Developer, etc are platform independent.. then why only BI Publisher is limited for windows/MS Office.
Tim,
Can you please answer..
I think it should integrate with OpenOffice too!!

XML publisher report works fine in English environment but NOT in Dutch

We are using Oracle Reports to generate XML file which will be input for XML Publisher report . Our requirement is to generate report in Dutch (Netherlands) language.
We developed a report which is working fine in English. Then we copied this RDF file to NL directory also registered concurrent program in dutch language but then it stopped working and gives error.
Basically it doesn't create any XML output .
Please help . Its URGENT.
Thanks in Advance.
Manoj

Hi Norman,
Thanks for the reply, actually my query was failing as it was trying to compare English date format (1-MAY-2007) which was stored in a DFF with Dutch date (1-MIE-2007) database format ,so it was not generating any xml output.
We have resolved this issue but now we are facing few other issue which are ,
I have created a template which has a current date field. I inserted current date in Dutch format i,e, (1-juni-2007), but concurrent program output appears with english date format (1-June-2007).
Same template has the customer name with 'Title' and this also appear in english i.e.Sir , in place of dutch title (Dhr.)
Is it possible to display .pdf output with
portrait (first page - Letter to customer)
and landscape(second page - Invoice data details) styles for multiple customers in one request?
We can do it for one customer by passing customer id so letter part (portrait output) is out of grouping and only data details (landscape) appear with multiple lines , but when we try to run it for multiple customers in one go , WITHOUT specifying a customer , it FAILS .
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks - Manoj, Utrecht

XML Publisher is not integrating with Reports 10g Concurrent program

Hello,
I created report in reports 10g. Saved report in the custom_top/reports/US. Created a concurrent program for the report with output as XML. Created a Data Definition with the same short name as the concurrent program and created a template used the same short name as the Data Definition, associated template with the data definition. Uploaded the .rtf file to the template.
The issue i have is when i run the concurrent program the output is xml tags rather than the xml publisher report.
Any help will be appreciated.

If employee id is the same should not print on the xml publisher report

Hi Dear,
I met with one problem and needs some suggestion on the best approach on it. It is a xml publisher report.
We have multiple rows for the same employee , but for the same employee only the first row needs to print the emplid.
Do we need to write the if statement , how to get the value of the last row emplid ?
For example :
EMPLID EMP_RCD STATE
1001 0 CA
1 TX
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dennis

I understand your requirement is as follows:
Requirement:_
The data is this ->
EMPLID COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_01 DATA_02_01 DATA_03_01
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_02 DATA_02_02 DATA_03_02
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_03 DATA_02_03 DATA_03_03
EMPLID_02 DATA_01_04 DATA_02_04 DATA_03_04
And you need report in this format:
EMPLID_01 DATA_01_01 DATA_02_01 DATA_03_01
DATA_01_02 DATA_02_02 DATA_03_02
DATA_01_03 DATA_02_03 DATA_03_03
EMPLID_02 DATA_01_03 DATA_02_04 DATA_03_04
Solution:_
If my understanding is correct, then you can make use of variables
at start of template set the variable to 0
*<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'PREV_EMPLID',0)?>*
at the end of each data row, reset the variable
*<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'PREV_EMPLID',EMPLID)?>*
while printing emplid in that row use IF condition
*<?if:(xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'PREV_EMPLID'))!=EMPLID?>*
The above If condition will print emplid on the row only when there is change in EMPLID, so effectively printing emplid only on the 1st row of data for each employee id.
Also, you need to ensure that you group by employee id before you print each row.
Let me know if this works for you.
