Bi in 12 no longer defaults blank template format to pdf

Template formats previous left blank in 11i used to default to PDF. In release 12 this is not the case. Tested internally and it defaulted to EXCEL with running a Bi concurrent request. Is there a way to make blank formats default to pdf?

Try setting the 'FND: Default Template Output Type' profile option to 'PDF'.

How to change the default print template for broadcast PDF Export

Hi,
I have currently designed a print template for printing purposes and use this as the template for the print button(Export to PDF),if i were to click on this button the output pdf is the desired PDF. But if i were to broadcast the template with output format as PDF it picks the layout of the current template, how do i set broadcast to pick up the print template also???
Further how to insert a page break in a PDF print template.

Hi Nagesh,
These setting are for
1.Adhoc Template for Queries
2. Adhoc Template for reports designed through report designer
3. Template for query precalculation
4. Template for displaying broadcasting wizard.
When we use broadcasting from query designer to email PDF's the system uses 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF.
From WAD the system uses the current template layout as PDF Layout.
P.S: OSS note 1054460 -Depending on the BI object type and possibly other criteria, different Web templates are used in BI broadcasting to generate PDF (and PS or PCL) formats:
For Web templates: the Web template itself is used

Export Format In PDF Articles - Vector as default

I would like to request that 'Vector' be made the default (or an option allowed for users to change the default) for 'Export Format in PDF Artciles' in Slideshows and Scrollable Frames.
In my line of work - newspaper and magazine publishing - roughly 99.9% of Slideshows and precisely 100% of Scrollable Frames contain text and therefore *must* be set to Vector otherwise our pages look pants on a Retina display. It is troublesome and needlessly expensive for us to be changing Raster content to Vector over and over and over again. And over and over. And over and over.
We're finding that big scrolls and MSOs might be set to Vector in our templates but, after a bit of chopping, changing and copy-pasting on live pages by designers, they revert to Raster. Can you imagine how infuriating it would be if you applied a custom Swatch to an object, only to have it keep reverting to Black? Well, this is what it's like with the Raster business.

Access to customizing default: report templates

I seem to remember far back in the corners of my memory, someone here on the forum mentioning that although we didn't have access at the time (probably back at HTMLDB 2.0) to customize the default report templates, that there were plans to make this an option in a future version of Apex. Does anyone have any idea if this is something that is being planned, or better yet, available today?
If you're not sure what I'm talking about I'm referring to the field that says 'Report Template' in the 'Layout and Pagination' section of the 'Report Attributes' page in the application builder.
The problem I'm having is that I'm using the 'default: vertical report, look 2 (show null columns)' report template and I've got some long column headings that I want to include a line break between each word of the heading, so they're stacked vertical instead of wide horizontally. I've add HTML break tags to the headings but they're disappearing when the page is rendered.
I've made sure to set the 'Strip HTML' setting to 'No', but whether it's set to yes or no doesn't matter, the headings display the same either way.
BTW, doing the same thing in a template based multi-row report seems to work fine. However, trying to use/apply the 'Value Attribute Pairs' report template yields the same result as the default vertical look template.
So I have 2 questions:
1) anyone know how I can make these heading words stack up vertically, one word to a line?
2) are we going to get access to customize the default report templates?
Earl

Hello,
1) anyone know how I can make these heading wordsstack up vertically, one word to a line?
Probably the best way to do this is to just hard code
a between your words.That's exactly what I'm doing (and what I said in my original post), however those breaks are disappearing during page rendering when I choose the report templates I mentioned.
I don't understand why this technique works in the multi-row report templates and not in these vertically oriented value/attribute report layouts.
2) are we going to get access to customize thedefault report templates?
No, you should just use a regular theme based
template, the default report templates are there for
backwards compatibility and well basically for people
that don't care about the UI. Since your at the point
it seems you do care about UI the proper thing to do
is to move to a standard report template that you
have full control over.Fair enough. I'll look into that, but I think there's still an open question here as to why the HTML breaks aren't being returned in the page markup for these report layouts.

Blank.template file issue

Alright guys,
I messed up!
I was trying to get pages to permantly set the default language to Australian English, when I found that the pretty much the only way to do it is save a new blank template. (this is the normal blank template with the language set to Australian)
I tried to take it a step further and update ( well replace) the original blank.template file in the package folder,
And now i get error when opening old documents.
I know i shouldnt have messed with the application package
but If anyone here is kind enough to upload a copy of their original blank.template file
i'd be ever so grateful
That should fix it straight away
P.S. yes, i've already slapped myself for replacing without backing up a copy
<Edited by Host>

To have Pages in Australian english you change it in the System preferences. Not fiddeling with the application at all. You can create a blank template and change all the styles to australian english and then save that template as a template and it will be located in My templates in the New tempalte chooser.
To get an original blank template in the right location install Pages again.

Why do have a long default Subject when sending picture to Web Gallery?

Why does Apple populate a long default Subject when sending a picture to Web Gallery? This is extremely annoying as the long Subject has to be deleted for each picture (Subject becomes the Pictures' caption in the Gallery) before entering a desired Caption.
Why not just leave the default Subject blank so we can add what we want? I have submitted this as both an enhancement and bug request to online Apple support. Just wanted to call it to others attention in case their was a workaround or so others could also submit it to support.
Not very user friendly having to tap 20+ delete keys before entering a Caption for each picture....

Just keep the delete key pressed down. It's faster.

Blank Templates in White and Black Ready

Well I finally got around to doing this... you can now download entirely BLANK template pages in either white or black from my downloads page. These are not just page where I erased the text and left locked text boxes. Nope - these are real template pages where every object, minus the Apple logo, has been REMOVED from the template. Even the navigation bar no longer exists!
The nice thing about the two blank pages is that you don't actually have to install a new template to use them. Technically you can just download replacement files for Black Welcome.webtemplate and White Welcome.webtemplate and just overwrite your existing versions. That is... if you don't mind losing the original Welcome layout - no biggy, but you might care.
If you don't want to overwrite your Black or White Welcome pages, then you can install a new template that I built called Blank Pages. Right now that template contains both the black and white blanks. It has room for four more blanks and I will likely do blanks for Freestyle, Travel, Formal and Road Trip. I'll make an entirely new set of blanks for Baby and Kids and put those in a new template later.
Feel free to make suggestions as I prefer to do what people want.

At the moment, I'm a creative guy in an ad agency. I went to school for design, got converted to a writer when I got my first ad job, then went back over the fence when I became Creative Director. I do a little bit of everything now -- a one man wrecking crew. I can wreck anything!
There are better writers, there are better designers, but not too many of us who do both. Or edit video (Thanks Final Cut Pro.) Or mess around with music. (Thanks Garageband, Thanks Logic Express.) Or **** around making web pages. (Thanks iWeb.) Basically, I'm too technologically enabled for my own good. You'll see firsthand when I finally get my website together, which is living **** because unless I do it just right, people will realize that I've been a fraud all these years, and I'll lose my job, my family and my . . . see . . . I can't think of a third thing! I STINK!!!!
Besides that "blank page" fear, that's my other underlying neurosis —
that people will find out I have no talent. 'Cause that's how I feel most of the time. 10% savant, 90% idiot. Using Apple technology to compensate.
Anyway, there you have it. Other than that, I'm a normal, self-adjusted human being, I think. (OR AM I FOOLING MYSELF??????)

Create OS X Default Profile/Template & Bind to AD (10.6 & 10.5)

This article will explain how to create a default user profile/template for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard & OS X 10.5 Leopard as well a quick overview of how to bind your Mac to AD (Active Directory)
Why create a Default profile/template?
If you a computer that multiple users log into it on a regular basis & you want all users to have an identical profile with looks, setting etc. then this article will show you how to do so.
Binding to AD (Active Directory)
With the new version of OS X Snow Leopard, Apple has now moved where the Directory Utility is found. It's now part of core services unlike OS X Leopard where it was found in the Utilities folder.
Step 1 (Create default user profile/template ** OS X Snow Leopard & Leopard)
With your “admin” user fully update OS X.
** Keep in mind that there are some applications out there that will not run or support past certain version of an OS X. If this does not apply then update to latest OS X version release.
With your “admin” user install all needed applications that will be needed all check for any updates for those applications.
From the “Accounts” panel create a new user. (For this document I will name create a users named “default”)
Enable “Root” user:
Snow Leopard 10.6 - Go to the Accounts Panel -> Login Options -> Network Account Server & select “Join”. Next select “Open Directory Utility”.
Once you have the “Directory Open” select ”Edit” from menu bar & select “Enable Root User” and give it a password.
If you chose to the direct method to open “Directory Utility” is /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app
Leopard 10.5 - Go to /Applications/Utilities/Directory\ Utility.app
Once you have the “Directory Open” select ”Edit” from menu bar & select “Enable Root User” and give it a password.
Logout & then login into “default” user
Organize the Dock with all your needed applications
Adjust settings & preferences for:
Dock
Desktop/Finder/MenuBar
System Preferences (Run through each option in System Preferences & adjust as needed)
Run “ALL” applications that will be used on the system. Once each application has launched open it’s preferences and adjust as needed. (In most cases, it’s recommended to turn “off” “check for updates” if you do not want users getting prompted each time an application releases an update)
If there is more than one browser installed you should set which browser should be default. At this point you can also select a default “Save Folder” if you want users to select where download will appear.
In case you have downloaded & visited website during your profile creation, clear the cache, history & cookies in each browser.
Once you feel that your “default” user is prepared the way you want others to see it proceed to the final step, but only when you are finished working on the user.
Clear the “default” user caches. Go to /Users/”default”/Library/Caches & simply delete/trash all the files in this folder.
**Clearing the user caches is not fully needed but if you want to slim down the default user profile/template for a faster login, then removing these files will speed things up. Applications will just create the needed files here when they are needed.
Next, open “Keychain Access” /Applications/Utilities/Keychain\ Access.app
Select “Login” from the “Keychains” area then select the “File” menu and chose “Delete Keychain login”.
Now restart the computer and login as root.
We now just need to copy the newly created profile/template and replace the system default profile.
Open Terminal & run the following commands:
Backup current system profile (in case something happens you can restore this folder)
Right click and select “Compress English.lproj”
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/*
(Removes contents from English.lproj folder)
sudo cp -R /Users/”default”/* /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/*
(Copies your newly created “default” user profile/template) *May take a minute if profile is big
You have now created a default profile that will load up each time a new user logs in.
Now restart & login as your “admin” user and run “Repair Disk Permissions” in “Disk Utility”
If you wish to bind the computer to Active Directory continue to Step 2.
Step 2 (Bind to AD / Active Directory ** OS X Snow Leopard & Leopard)
Snow Leopard 10.6 - Go to the Accounts Panel -> Login Options -> Network Account Server & select “Join”. Next select “Open Directory Utility”.
If you chose to the direct method to open “Directory Utility” is /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app
Leopard 10.5 - Go to /Applications/Utilities/Directory\ Utility.app
Once Directory Utility is open double click “Active Directory”
Once open enter in the needed info for your Domain, name computer & select what options you want or don’t want.
Now simply select “Bind” and enter in a user/password that has Network Administrator access to your domain.
You are now bound to your domain.
It’s also a good idea to change the login window to “Name & Password” if there will be many users logging into the computer.
Now restart your computer.
Once restarted & sitting at your login window, the best way to know you are connect to your domain is to click 5 Times where you see your computer name. You should see a colored dot, which will give you your status. You want to see Green.
Now try logging in using an AD/Active Directory account.

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\ C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders#Mac_OS_X
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Error on page from BW 3.5's default web template

Hi Guru's,
We have a problem in our new BWD BW 3.5 environment where we are getting the "error on page" error from SAP-generated code and we arent sure why.
On our old BWT BW 3.0b platform, we have been using a modified version of the 0query_template called Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE. We did a system copy of BWT to BWD, our new BW 3.5 platform. At that point in time we would see our old BW 3.5 default template for queries that we ran. We wanted to see what the new default web template looked like in BW 3.5. We found where we could remove the Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE from the Web Adhoc Analysis web template setting so we could see the new features of the BW 3.5 default BEx query designer template instead of our old BW 3.0b default template.
Now when we run a query through the BW 3.5 query designer on BWD, we are using BW3.5s default template. The prompt web page is fine. No errors on page messages.
However, the initial presentation of the query results displays okay, but shows "error on page" in the message bar at the bottom of the displayed page. As soon as we do any navigation on those query results that error on page goes away. If we navigate back to the initial presentation, all is still okay. If we use the context menu to go back to start, we again get the error on page.
This error on page does not happen in BQ2 (our new BW 3.5 QA environment copied from our old BW 3.0b QA environment where we had not yet changed the default BEx Query Designer template to be Z_QUERY_TEMPLATE). We have tried several queries and in each case, we get errors on page in BWD, but not in BQ2. We used ultraedit to compare the view source output from the equivalent web pages from BWD and BQ2 and the only difference is the validity date of the data. There are no other differences in the javascript code generated by BW in the two platforms.
The statement that Internet Explorer is saying is the problem is the same in each of the cases we have checked and that is:
SAPBWSetFocus(anchor);
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
Its in the set_tab() function.
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Because the error goes away as soon as we navigate Im thinking some object isnt being created or initialized, but since the view source code of these pages are identical Im wondering if there is some code that should be executing before this page that is not happening in BWD for some reason.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeri

Heike,
Thanks for your help in this. BWD and BQ2 are both on the same SP. SAP_BW release 350 level 10 (SAPKW35010) with BI_CONT at release 352 level 5 (SAPKIBIEP5).
I invalidated the server cache following your instructions and tried again, but am still having the same problem in BWD. The initial display gets the "Done, but with errors on page" message until any navigation is done.
I am using IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 when I execute queries on both BWD and BQ2.
Please, do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeri

Fix table header line of Query in default web template WAD 7.0

Dear all,
I would appreciate if somebody could help me to set parameters to fix the header line of a Web-Item DataProvider (Query) in the default web template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN for the BEx Web Analyser. I mean I want to see the header line with the characteristics and key figures description even if I scroll down in the query.
My idea was to create a second frame in the template and to fill it with the same DataProvider just with the header of the Query. The problem is that the performance of the query would be badder if we load two Dataprovider/Query instead of one.
Many thanks in advance for your answer and help!!!
Best regards
Abdel

Hi Dion,
Thank you very much for your answer! I have tried to find a paramter in the web application designer to do that, but without success. Now I have included a new container with the same Analysis Web Item, but it does not function! May you have a better idea??
Thank you very much in advance for your help. I'll also post my question in a BI-Forum as you suggested.
Best Regards
Abdel

The document "Blank.template" could not be opened. in Pages

I can not open any tempaltes in Pages from iWork on Macbook Pro.
When I open pages. I can then pick a template. when I click that or any of the templates I get
The document “Blank.template” could not be opened.
I am new to the Mac world and trying to set up for my son to do homework. So please bear with me if I ask a lot of questions.
I reloaded the software and still get the same reply. Any help to get it running would be a HUGE help.

Mitch,
See if you can run Pages successfully in another User account. If so, you have a corrupt PLIST file in the main user acount.
I have a hunch that this is your problem since reloading the software didn't solve the problem. But, I have to ask if you may have moved Pages.app from where the installer put it.

How to default the template based on a responsibility

Hello All,
I am working on 12.1.1 and XML Publisher version 10.1.3.2.1
I have a concurrent program with multiple templates, one each for different language/territory combinations. The layout of each template is different. In the template definition, I have different localized template files for each lang/terr combination
template_en_GB- UK
template_en_IE - Ireland
template_de_DE -Germany
template_sv_SE -Sweden
Template_en -Default
When the user submits the request, for UK, Ireland and Germany it picks the correct template as defined in the territory but for Sweden the template is always defaulted to the default template file in the template definition and the user needs to change it to their desired template each time. How do I default the template based on the language/territory of Sweden combination. It is working fine for all other territories buit not for Sweden. We have not used the add.layout option in any report so I don't want to use that option.
Is any setup I am missing for Sweden?
We are having Sweden rollout soon.
Thanks,
Joohi

Can't open a new blank template in Pages?

When I open Pages to choose a new blank template I get an error message that states "Pages has either moved or been deleted". Anyone have any advice to help would be greatly appreciated.

Wendy,
Have you looked for Pages.app to see if it's been moved or deleted? Here's an example of using Finder to locate the app.

Setting up Default web template for BeX 7.0 queries.

Hi Experts,
I am running a web-report based on a query created using Query Designer 7.0. I have a default web-template that I have been using for BeX 3.x queries [which has been created using WAD 3.X] and I tried to set the same template as default for the BeX 7.0 in SPRO>SAP Netweaver>Business Intelligence>Settings for Reporting and Analysis>BeX Web>Set Standard Web Templates>Ad Hoc Analysis.
But I can't see the changes being reflected in the web report after I made the change.I still see that the default template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN is being used. Can we set a web template created using WAD 3.x as the default template for 7.0 Queries?If yes, do I need to do something else apart from the changes I did in SPRO?
Thanks
Arvind
Edited by: Arvind Pattabiraman on Apr 29, 2009 8:51 PM

Arvind,
Have you migrated your template to 7.0 ? you cannot use a 3.x template as the default for a 7.0 template... unless you are using the EP6.0 iView / ABAP stack for running your queries on the web...
