Backend tables in XML Publisher

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me that where is the data for an XML Report (eg information about the template, data definition etc) stored in the oracle database.
I got to know about some tables like XDO_TEMPLATES_B and many other tables that are prefixed with XDO. What is the significance of this XDO and what all tables store the data of an XML report. Also what is the relation between these tables.
Any guidance in these would be of great help.
Regards,
Shruti

Hi Ananth,
Thanks for your reply.
But still I am not able to establish a link between these tables.
Also please help me to understand what is the use of XDO prefixed with all table names.
Any help in this regard will be really helpful.
Regards,
Shruti

How to put a solid bottom border for table at page break - XML Publisher

Hi There,
In XML Publisher Invoice report template, I have table with hidden lines. It repeat for each invoice item.
However I need to close the table with a solid line at the page break, when the table is extended to multiple pages.
How can we know if its a page break. I think we can use an if condition if we know the tag for page break( for example like this <?if:@page-break="true"?> ).
Thanks in Advance.
Vishnu.

You can declare two variables, to hold the previous and current LOCATION values and break the page when it differs.
Or just before your end-for-each, have this code.
<?if:position()!=1 and position()!=last() and LOCATION!=following::LOCATION[1]?><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute><?end if?>
Ensure that its placed in a form field.
This will have a page break when LOCATION changes.

XML Publisher Table problem

Hi,
I have been trying to build a table in a BI Report that does the following my attempts so far have not work. What I would like to happen is to have a table that has 15 rows displayed even if there are not 15 line items and in the event of more than 15 line items I would then like the extra lines to rollover to the next page displaying 15 rows in the table even if the remainder of line items is not 15. The report generates output for multiple customers. Please could someone advise how I could do this?
Thank you,
Mark

Creating a Pivot Table in a XML publishe

When creating a Pivot Table in a XML publisher in Word, is there a way for a Pivot table to respect the fact that it's inside of a group function? I'm looping over site , and within each site I want to create a Pivot Table that has Months going across and SUB inventories going down, but only for that site.

Hello,
create one column in criteria and change it's fx to case when 1=0 then Products."Prod Name" else 'Tota Loanl' end
Now go to pivot and drag this column to Columns block of pivot. But keep this column up of Measure Labels and Now, go to column Format values.
Mention cell horizontal alignment to Center
see the following screenshot, Header is the column i created with the above functionality.

XML Publisher template with fixed table

Hi,
I need to print the table fixed on each page, irrespective of the number of rows. For example, if the query returns 1 row or n rows the table should be shown as fixed. If there are more pages to be displayed, then the same should be displayed (fixed table) in the second page onwards.
In short, the table should like the one in pre-printed stationary. In other words, the table should be fixed on each page, regardless of number of rows.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks

Yella,
There is not a solution. XML Publisher is not capable of doing this with RTF templates. You must either use a PDF template, make a bitmapped report, or use a third-party solution.
RTF templates are convenient, but they are not yet, in my opinion, advanced enough to produce professional looking documents. They may get there someday, but they are not there now.
Me personally, I have been able to make very beautiful professional looking documents with bitmapped reports. Doing things that are just not possible in XML Publisher. I do use RTF templates for some things, so they do have their place, but from my experience, professional documents is not one of them.

I am working on XML publisher report, I have converted standard report to xml publisher , to generate the report in excel.

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

Call an sql insert statement in xml publisher

Hi to all,
i've a question as regard xml publisher.
Sorry but i don't have a lot of time to look around.
This features is quite important and probably would determine if we will use this
product or not.
Is possible to call an sql statement when the output is generated?
example: a user call a report with some par to filter the output (some select list / text, ecc..)
Or generally can i call use a pl/sql block instead of pl/sql query to populate and at
the same time to write other data to keep track of the printing / generation of the
documents X user?
Otherwise, is xml publisher writing this info in some system table of xml publ?
Note: i use most of all pl/sql and htmldb and i don't want to use other programming languages until this app is finished.
Thank you very very much.

Hi Marcello
I seem to remember from other threads that you are assessing the enterprise edition of XMLP right?
If you use the data templates to define how the data should be extracted then you can call a plsql pkg after the fetch to update/insert to your hearts content.
Otherwise you could use the APIs instead of the UI to do the same or even build an extension to the RTF templates to make the sql call ... we do not document this at the moment but its possible.

Issue using data link in XML Publisher

Dear All,
I am new to XML Publisher, for the first time trying data link concept in XML Publisher tool. The issue is very simple, I have two queries Q1(say it fetches sales_order_number, application_name ) and Q2 (say it fetches sales_order_number , error_number, error_description). And sales_order_number is passed as input using data link to Query Q2 from query Q1 and Q2 will retrive more than one row for a given sales_order_number.
Say for a given dept_name 1001 the output will be something similiar like
Q1:
SO# | Appl.Name
1001 | 'Invoice '
Q2:
SO# | Error.# | Error Desc
1001 | 1512 | No Data Found
1001 | 1513 | Invalid Entry
1001 | 2674 | Error while inserting the record
and the query which I have used in XML template goes like this
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[select sales_order_number, application_name
                  from T1
                 where sales_order_number = :in_sales_order_num]]>
</sqlStatement>
<sqlStatement name="LINES">
<![CDATA[
select sales_order_number , error_number, error_description
from T2]]>
</sqlStatement>
<link name="Dummy_LINK" parentQuery="Q1" parentColumn="sales_order_number" childQuery="Q2" childColumn="sales_order_number" condition="="/>
</dataQuery>
<daraStructure/>
And the grouping is as follows
<group name="G_Q1" source="Q1">
     <element name="sales_order_number" value="sales_order_number"/>
     <element name="application_name" value="application_name"/>
<group name="G_Q2" source="Q2">
     <element name="sales_order_number" value="sales_order_number"/>
     <element name="error_number" value="error_number"/>
     <element name="error_description" value="error_description"/>
</group>
</group>
And in the RTF template I have properly used <?for-each:G_Q1?> <?for-each:G_Q2?>- --
<?end for-each?><?end for-each?>
Ideally the header (Q1) should have one row and the lines (Q2) should have 3 rows. But the issue here is even Q1 produces 3 rows.
If in case Q2 has 4 records, then Q1 also plots 4 records in the report output. Hope I am explaining the issue correctly. Any help to resolve the issue would be a great. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Antony.

Is this a limitation in XML Publisher ??!!

Hi,
I need to confirm that somebody here did a normal invoice using XML Publisher before. what I mean by normal invoice is that
customer: --- Date -----
Item | quantity | price | amount
item1 | 5 | 10 | 50
item2 | 1 | 100 | 100
Total 150
one hundred fifty dollars
no matter how many items, the total should come at the end of the invoice and if the number of items cant fit in one page this totals will be only in the last page of the invoice
my question is there anyone did this before. we used to do it using anchoring in report builder but I am unable to find similar thing here in XML Publisher
this will affect my company decision of going to this technology or not because not only invoice, we have statement of account that have aging need to be in the same way, and some other reports

Part of the fun is figuring it out on your own.
Anyhow, we have used a fixed number of lines per page, which works if you prevent lines from wrapping. To do the latter:
<xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="wrap-option">no-wrap</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="overflow">hidden</xsl:attribute>
For fixed number of lines:
<?for-each@section:G_CHECKS?><xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="group" select=".//G_INVOICES"/><xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="check" select="../G_CHECKS"/><?for-each:$group?><?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp=0?><xsl:variable name="start" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/>
<xsl:variable name="blanks" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="number($lpp)-(count($group)-number($start)+1)"/>
Put each below into a blank row in table.
<?if:$blanks>=39?><?end if?>
<?if:$blanks>=38?><?end if?>
<?if:$blanks>=37?>
<?if:$blanks>=36?>
Not enough time to explain... give it a try, experiment a little and provide specific questions if you get stuck.

Attachments in XML Publisher

Our attachments are on a web server.
We have an XML Publisher report for batches. Some of the batches have attachments that defined as "Web Page".
We want to print the content of the attachments (MS Word, MS Excel or PDF files), together with our report.
Is there any way to print an external file with XMLP report?
Thanks.

XML Publisher report ends in Warning with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Hi,
We are modifying the standard report Account Analysis Report (in Subledger Accounting) to create a custom report.
When run wide open, it is ending in Warning with the error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError in OPP Log.
We are on EBS 12.1.3. DB 11.2.0.3 and XML Publisher 5.6.3
We have set the below parameters in the data definition:
Use XML Publishers XSLT processor: True
Enable Scalable feature of XSLT processor: True
Enable XSLT Runtime optimization: True
Also we have added these to the Data template:
<property name="db_fetch_size" value="20" />
<property name="scalable_mode" value="on" />
On the concurrent program, we have this option set:
-ms1024m -mx2048m
Still, the program is ending in Warning and not producing output. Any pointers here?
We can also see that the Temporary Directory is not able to be set on the data definition. Why is this?
After setting the Temporary Directory from Administration page, we were able to set the temporary directory for this data definition, but that did not solve the iseue.

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!!!!
