Add XML Publisher Administrator responsibility with EBS 11.5.9

Hi all !
I'm exploring the possibility to use XML Publisher inside Oracle E Business Suite 11.5.9. because...unfortunately it's not possible to upgrade EBS to the 11.5.10 version
I found a note on the forum which says: "Starting from 11.5.9 the XMLP is bundled with Apps. You just need to add XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to your profile, and install MS Word template builder on your PC".
So...my questions are:
1) how can I add the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility to my profile ? Should I set up something (already existing into EBS), or should I install a patch ?
2) how can I know the XML Publisher version bundled within Apps (if what is written inside that note it's true), 'cause I'd like to use the 5.6.3 version
Also, I looked for a solution on Metalink and the only note regarding how to use XML Publisher inside E Business Suite 11.5.9. is the note id 278727.1 (even I should install the 4.5 XML Publisher version - TOO OLD)
Thanks in advance
Alessandro

Hi Ravi thanks for you answer !
So....I tried to create the responsibility from scratch, because nothing is defined for XML Publisher, in this way (from the OA System Administrator):
Responsibility Name: XML Publisher Administration
Application: XML Publisher
Responsibility Key: XDO_ADMINISTRATION
.....but inside the Data Group area
Name : Standard
Application: ?
....and inside the Menu area which information should I write ?
Is there something to follow in order to create from scratch a XML responsibility ?
Thanks again
Alex

An alternative to the full 'XML Publisher Administrator' responsibility?

Hi. We use XML Publisher within the Oracle Applications E-Business Suite (Release 12).
We would like our users to have the ability to upload their modified rtf templates back to the XML Publisher interface. However, we don't really want to give them the full 'XML Publisher Administrator' responsibility. Has anyone found a way around this? Thanks, Joy.

Hi. Thanks for replying. We don't have XMLP Developer in the list of Oracle Applications responsibilities - only 'XML Publisher Administrator' and 'XML Gateway'. We don't use BI Publisher standalone. Any ideas how we get XMLP Developer to appear in the list in Oracle Apps? Thanks.

when i click the Apply button, it is throwing an error 'Bad Request'
Navigation : XML Publisher Administrator > Data Definitions > query the report
Click on the name of the report > click 'Update file' besides Data Template > Choose file > Click Apply
I am getting the below error

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Now, i could not upload a new XML template.
Am I doing anything wrong.

Thank you Eugen and Hussein.
The problem is not with the template.
It seems to be a problem in that particular instance.
Uploaded it in a different instance.
However once i run the program, i cannot view the output as the browser window flashes and disappears.
My colleague says , it is to do with the trusted site to download something from the browser.
Can you please guide me on how to fix this ?

How to remove a font file and its mapping from XML Publisher Administrator

Hello,
I am trying to remove a font file and its mapping from the XML Publisher Administrator. If this is not possible, is there a way to disable it?
The reason why I am asking this is because we just got a new check printer, and I was able to print just fine. However, the MICR font was not coming up properly on the check, so I went ahead and configured the font with the XML Publisher Administrator. Now my check output is coming up blank after running the XML report publisher program. The only change I did was to upload the MICR font and mapped it.
My template and rdf report file are working fine in another environment we have, so I know that's not the problem.
Any help is appreciate it.
Thanks.

This is how you do it
Font
DELETE FROM xdo_lobs
where lob_code like '<Font_name>';
Font Mapping Set
DELETE FROM xdo_font_mapping_sets_TL
WHERE mapping_code like '<MAPPING_CODE>'

Login to to the Ebiz database with user/paswad app/app and verify the detiled parameter for below DB procedures which are being used to create, update user and responsibility related work
Create User FND_USER_PKG.CreateUser
Disable user FND_USER_PKG.DisableUser

In your case call two method
1.CreateUser pass all parameter
2. add responsibility - for responsibility check the KEY/ID value for System administrator in FND_RESPONSIBILITY table. while calling method pass this ID/KEY
Better put this in EBIZ forum.

Can XML Publisher 5.6.3(EBS) be integrated with APEX?

On the following document, XMP Publisher 5.6.2 does not support integration with APEX. May I know about 5.6.3? Or is it about the product being an add-on with EBS causing the non-support to integration(meaning, even 5.6.3 is not supported)?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
Thanks,
Rownald

APEX integrates with the standalone version of BI Publisher. There was not a server component with the standalone 5.6.3 release. The integration relies on publisher providing a servlet for APEX to communicate with, 5.6.3 does not have this.
If you are talking 5.6.3 under EBS then I guess you could build a servlet on the mid tier that called the BIP conversion APIs - it would all be custom work.
The APEX integration needs 10.1.3.2 BIP to work with out of the box.

XML Publisher report failing with java.lang.outofmemoryerror.

Hi,
We have developed a custom Oracle report that produces an XML output file that is about 13M in size (about 18K rows from the database). When running report as concurrent request, post processing fails with java.lang.outofmemoryerror. The failure occurs when specifying output format as Excel, RTF or HTML. However, the process completes successfully when specifying output format as PDF. We have also noticed that Excel, RTF and HTML will complete successfully if the XML data file is smaller (around 3M).
Is anyone aware of a restriction on the size of the XML data file when specifying output formats Excel, RTF or HTML? We have tried setting temp directory but that has not helped.
Thanks.

Hi
I found this at metalink [Note:390968.1].. hope it helps =)
Symptoms: When attempting to run an XML Publisher concurrent program the following error occurs:
ERROR: Warning!!! Got out of memory exception, retrying with scalable option..
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Oracle.apps.xdo.oa.cp.JCP4XDODataEngine
Program exited with status 1
Solution: To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Login select the responsibility: System Administrator.
2. Navigate to Concurrent > Program > Define.
3. Query for concurrent program that is receiving the error.
4. In the 'Options' field please enter -Xmx512M.
5. Save the change and retest the issue.
6. If the report still fails with the option set to -Xmx512M change the value to -Xmx1024M, save and try again
7. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.

XML Publisher Report ends with Warning -- Invalid Character Error in XML

Hi,
I have migrated the standard report 'Invoice Print Selected Invoices' from Reports 6i to XML Publisher. It has to print a Euro(€) in the report. It does not even generate the XML File fully. It gives the below error in the XML File. When i remove the special character, it works fine.
Please let me know the settings to ensure that XML file also accepts the special characters. How do i get the Euro symbol printed in XML File with out giving Invalid Character Error?

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your adhoc response.
I have gone thru the Document 222663.1 and it says that the Developer 6.0.8.23 is required to handle this problem. We are using almost the updated Developer version i.e., Developer 6.0.8.25. So, this should be handled automatically, but it still errors out. Please suggest.
Thanks,

PeopleSoft XML Publisher report error with java.io.FileNotFoundException

Hi,
I have created two reports using XML Publisher in Peoplesoft Financials. The two reports are not related and they were submitted for processing separately. The first report completes without any issues. The second report results in error with the following message:

The weird thing is I was able to run this report without any issues few weeks ago although another user also ran into same error. The PeopleCode step that has been identified is essentially same in the two reports. I checked the app server and the directory does exist as well as the xml files for the two reports. The problem does not occur in test environment, just in production. Any help would be appreciated.

We encounter the same problem. Did you get the answer for this issue? Thanks in advance.

Xml publisher of R12 with apex for reporting

Hi gurus,
can i use the inbult xml publisher engin of R12 to configure Apex reports.
Please Help
Regards
Vishal

NO, the license for that version of BI Publisher does NOT allow you to use it with external tools.... You would be better off getting a new licensed version for your APEX install...
Thank you,

Any one have issues w/ XML publisher Administrator and OPP???

We recently used the administrator to create font definitions for templates, once we did that the OPP process kept failing when we would run any of the reports that automatically pick up the template assigned to that report. Invoices for instance
However, running the XML Report Publisher and supplying the request ID, Template, etc etc etc... Would work just fine.
I'm wondering if there is any correlation between the 2? I would just remove the font definition, but I think that is they way you have to do it w/ version 5.6.1, adding the font via the custom properties tab didn't work out.
I've logged a tar on the issue... but as TAR's go... it's going slow like tar.
Wondered if anyone else had any info?

Well... in case you ever do run into this... the OPP log file will have a null point error in it.
And applying Patch #5024026 should/will fix the problem.

Large XML Publisher reports fail with client-error-request-value-too-long

We are running BI Publisher 5.6.3 with Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 (ATG.H RUP 5), and are having frequent failures with client-error-request-value-too-long messages on large PDF reports that cause the entire report to not print.
The exact error message is as follows:
lp: unable to print file: client-error-request-value-too-long
Pasta: Error: Print failed. Command=lp -c -dPDX_B6_1LJ5200NEAST /logs/temp/pasta3262_0.tmp
Pasta: Error: Check printCommand/ntPrintCommand in pasta.cfg
Pasta: Error: Preprocess or Print command failed!!!
APP-FND-00500: AFPPRN received a return code of failure from routine FDUPRN. Program exited with status 1
Cause: AFPPRN received a return code of failure from the OSD routine FDUPRN. Program exited with status 1.
Action: Review your concurrent request log file for more detailed information.
I have Google'd client-error-request-value-too-long, and found it is a common CUPS issue on Linux. The popular solutions (having /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp) are already in place. Also, the temp files are nowhere near 2 GB (44MB).
Has anyone had this issue with BI Publisher on Linux?

Thanks for the link. It looks like the sysadmins have throttled cups to low to allow large bitmapped print jobs:
grep MaxRequestSize cupsd.conf
# MaxRequestSize: controls the maximum size of HTTP requests and print files.
MaxRequestSize 10M
I am trying to get a more reasonable size limit.

Xml publisher pdf layout in ebs is incorrect

Hi,
I am doing a pdf report for a pre-printed layout.
My layout has to be exact for all pages.
i have a grouping on top of my layout..
when runing it in ebs the first page on top has less space , and the other pages has more space on top of the page.
but the 2nd, 3rd, etc... has the exact layout
can it be the G (grouping) on top of my page that is causing this problem?
and how would i solve this??

Can someone on Apps 11.5.10.2 who has applied the patch (I believe it upgrades the server version to 5.6.3) check and see if the behavior I described is the same on their system?
Or can someone tell me if this is expected?
Thanks again.

XML Publisher errors out with java.lang.IndexArrayOutofBounds 5 =5 when out

Hi Everyone,
I have a particular report which has some dynamic columns involved.
On certain cases (more than 5 dynamic columns) when the report is run with output as PDF it gives out an error java.lang.IndexArrayOutofBounds 5>=5 (where the number differs for each case)
But for the same data when i use output type as HTML or EXCEL the output is coming out to be fine.
<?for-each-group@column: G_TRADING_PARTNER_NAME3;BID_NUMBER2?> for the column header of the dynamic columns
<?for-each-group@cell:G_TRADING_PARTNER_NAME3;BID_NUMBER2?> for the column data
My version of XMLP is 5.6.0
and apps version is 11.5.10.2
Is there anything that needs to be changed for the PDF output ?
Kindly let me know in case your have come across such issues.
Thanks
Anoop

Glad you have sorted this - note that the fnd_concurrent_requests table has the fields pp_Start_date and pp_end_date which will show how long post processing is taking.
Good to a good idea to monitor this in relation to the setting you have made in the profile option Concurrent:OPP Timeout profile option though 3 hours should cover most things!!!!
