Barcode Data Field Identifier in template

Does anyone know how to include a Data Field Identifier (for use with Oracle Mobile Applications) in a barcoded field? We have successfully included barcoded item numbers on XML Publisher reports. The Oracle Warehousing documentation says that you should be able to prefix the field with a P and that will identify the following data as an item number and put it into the correct field when it is scanned. Has anyone done this successfully in an XML Publisher template?

Thanks, Tim. We discovered that it is a problem with a custom mobile form that Oracle developed for us. It works fine on the standard mobile forms that we are using. The format I'm using in the template is:
PBAR_VAL where BAR_VAL is a form field that contains the item number.

Unable to Preview barcode font fields in Word Template Builder PDF Preview

I have searched for solutions to this problem but did not find anything that I have not tried. I have IDAutomation Barcode fonts installed and am using the Word template builder v10.1.3.4 Build 129. My Templates work fine in EBS, but I cannot Preview in a PDF, any fields that are formatted with my barcode or MICR fonts. I have created an xdo.cfg file as per the documentation and placed it in C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config. I can successfully preview in an RTF, but not a PDF. Any suggestions?
Here is my xdo.cfg file:

XMLPub 5.6.3: Data fields missing in Header/Footer

Hello,
I am having a problem with an RTF template, where the data fields in the
template Header or Footer that should display data do not appear at all, while
the fixed text that is in the Header/Footer is shown.
This template is built with the start:body/end body syntax to separate
the fields that belong to the Header/Footer from the body of the report. The
body has a for-each@section that works fine and a split-by-page-break at the
end, after the Footer fields.
I played a little bit with the template and I found out, that:
- if I change my template not to use the start:body/end body syntax, but I use
the Header/Footer Word functionality with the explicit field names specified in
the header or footer, the data fields will not be displayed;
- if I remove the for-each@section, the data fields in the Header (before the
start:body) and in the Footer (after the end body) are displayed correctly;
- if I duplicate in my XML file one of the elements that are in the Header and I put it
in the child group that is displayed in the repeating section and I add another data
field in that section, it will display both in the Header and in the repeating section;
This very template works fine on an E-Biz instance at another customer site, but
only here it's showing this issue.
It also looks like a different problem than the one caused by the Microsoft
security update. In fact, I cannot not find any "/headerr" or "/ footerr"
strings in the template RTF. (Anyway, is there a patch for version 5.6.3?)
Can anybody shed some light on this strange issue? Any advice?
I am using XMLPub Desktop 5.6.3 and MS Word 2000 9.0.6926 SP-3.
If someone wants to have a look, I've prepared a small test example to show this weird behavior.
Thanks,
Paolo

ashee1,
Please refer XMLP User Guide Chapter 9. You need to define data definitions and upload the data template to DataTemplate filed.
Create the Template Definition and upload your RTF Template.
Create a Report Definition in Concurrent Program/Manager and set the executable as XDODTEXE. make sure the program short name is the same as Data Definition.
Set the output type as XML and the OPP will pick your RTF Template.

Custom Date Field not showing up in Pages Inspector

I created a custom date field in Address Book and now want to merge info from Address Book into a Pages template I created (including this new custom date field). When I go to the Inspector to add the custom date field to the template, it is not listed as a field - only Anniversary and Birthday are listed as "other" fields.
How do I get the custom date field to show up in the inspector?
Chris

Question asked and responded several times.
The Help is unaware of the true program behaviour.
In version 3, custom AddressBook fields are not usable in Pages.
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

Step 1. In MS Word I successfully login Oracle BI Publisher as Administrator
2. Oracle BI Publisher -> Open (I open the report)
3. Go to Insert -> Table Wizard
I get this error:
The report does not contain any data fields. Please make sure that the reports generates data with the default settings or provide a valid XML file.
Please help

Hi
How do I load XML data? Also why XML data load is required? Do I have to export XML data from BIP View screen and load from the same file from the word?
Please clarify

Identify key fields and data fields

Hi
i have datasource 0co_om_cca_9 .
i want build 1 DSO, how can i identify what are key fields and data fields to build DSO based on that datasource.

Hi sunnel,
The DSO are like 2-D database tables.
We use the technical keys here in counterpart to the business keys in Infocubes.
The key fields are the one based on which the records are identified uniquely in the database table.
And the data fields are the ones which are aggrgated or summarised or overwritten based on the value in key filed.
For example:
The ID no.s of the employees will be unique and it can be used as a key field.
The feilds like the Salary taken by the employee every month :"SALARY"
and the no. of leaves they taken: " NO. OF LEAVES" can be used as data fields.
So that the salary or the leaves taken by a particular employee can be aggregated based on her/his ID no.
The key fields in DSO doesnty mean Key figures.The key field means any unique key or a key based on which the records are sorted in the DSO
And key figures are the data fields.Some of the Characteristics can also be data fields in DSO.
Please give points if u r satisfied wit the information
Also let me know if u hav any doubt and if any thing is wrong.
Regards,
Kalpana M

How do I insert a 'date created' field into a template?

I know that you can insert date & time fields into templates and make them auto-update whenever I open the document, but I am wondering if I can make the date field be set to the date when I created the document and then stay that date even if I reopen the file?
In other words, is there a "Date Created" field?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
I am using Pages '09.

I believe the date will either update always or never, depending on how you set it's options. I don't believe you will find an option for Update Once and Never Again.
You will have to update the date upon creation and then set the option to not update. You can always find the creation date in the Document Inspector, Info tab, Show File info. You can also read this information in the Finder.

Hello to Headstart Workers !
In a query find block the template construct a where clause, in some cases, and i dont know when the template is formatting a date field putting a dot instead of a comma.

Anybody knows why or where the template do this.

Date field patterns and barcodes

I have a date field that is mapped to a barcode. the date field has a pattern > Data of date {YYYYMMDD} because the target system requires it without the dashes.
However when the barcode generates it always encodes YYYY-MM-DD (ie. WITH THE DASHES).
If i do a xfa.host.messageBox (this.rawValue) it always displays the YYYY-MM-DD.
If I call the this.formattedValue it does return YYYYMMDD.
To fix this i created a hidden field which i wrote to on the exit of the datefield and mapped this hidden field to the barcode.
hiddenField.rawValue = this.formattedValue
Is there a better way to do this without the hidden fields? I ask since i have a bunch of date fields..
How/where do i change the pre-generated barcode code to grab the formattedValue instead of the rawValue if its a datetimefield?

Prerequsites for deciding Key fields and data fields

Hi
I would like to know the criteria to decide upon KEY fields and Data fields for an infoprovider.

Hi,
What is a Key field in a Database and How should I choose one?
Keys are crucial to a table structure for many reasons, some of which are identified below:
They ensure that each record in a table is precisely identified.
They help establish and enforce various types of integrity.
They serve to establish table relationships.
Datafields may be Charecteristics and it may be keyfigures

F4 help for date field in ITS

hi all;
I was working on ESS Leave Request, i am using the standard program SAPMWS20000081H and the service template WS20000081.
Now in the EP view i am unable to get the F4 help for the date field 'Absence From' & 'Absence To'. i have checked the data element used it is 'DATS'.
How to get the F4 help in the view, please help me its of high priority.

Hi, I can tell you what we have done. I can see that the original template displays the "Absence from" field this way :
<tr> <td>`SAP_TemplateEditableField("FromDay", fieldLabel=ABSENCEFROM030150.label, fieldLabelWidth="170", name="ABSENCEFROM030150", value=ABSENCEFROM030150, size="10", maxlength="10", marginTop=9, inspectionText=ABSENCEFROMDAY, align="",
required="", width="", onchange="update_checkn(this.SAP_value, this)" )` </td>
</tr>
We modified the template to display it like this :
<tr><td> `SAP_Field("ABSENCEFROM030150","ABSENCEFROM030150", DynproLabelWidth="170")` </td></tr>
We did the same for ABSENCETO040150. So you can play around with the template to generate the F4 button. ( Note that we also added the ~webgui parameter in the service file and set it to 1, this in order to generate the calendar ). Good luck !

How to show a date field in OIM self-registration page

Hello gurus,
I want to add a date field in the self-reg page. I added lines in FormMetaData.xml and tjspSelfRegistrationTiles.jsp. The user creation page (delegated administration) shows the right date field, but the self-reg page is not working. I am using uix.tld dateField tag and don't know what attributes to pass to this. Is this the right tag or there is some other one in the tld, and what attributes should I pass?
Could someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks
SK

It should be much simpler than what you are doing.
You should be able to create a User Defined Field for the value. Then update the FormMetaData.xml file. Create an entry in the section for user information that creates the attribute value. Just copy one of the existing and give it a new unique number identifier. Also change the field it references to be your user defined field. Then update the Self Registration section to include the new attribute. If you want to update what the approver sees, then also update the section for the approver.
