BI Publisher Desktop - MS Word giving error!!!

HI Experts,
I am following BI Publisher 'Getting started' article on Oracle site. In on of the step it asks to open BI Publisher report into MS word. When I did this it give an error.
Article link: http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/fmw/bi/biee/r1013/bipub/intro/gettingstarted.htm
Error screen shot:

Do I need to configure some parameters in MS word?? Please help me at this point.
Thanks in advance,
DK

I am going on the assumption that the report in Answers has some type of parameters. By parameters I mean that a prompt, server, or presenation variable is used to run the report in answers.
The word add on can not handle bi answers reports with parameters.
But you are in luck as uncle Danscan has already handled this problem. You won't find it explained anywhere else.
Step One: Create a non-parameterized version the BI Answers report. Basically hard code values in the report. And save that version of the report. Keep your orginal version as you will need that later.
Step Two: Link Publisher with the non-parameterized version of the report.
Step Three: Open word and load up the data as you would expect to do.
Step Four: Create the report template by adding in the table, fields, and other stuff. Once its is setup it is time to test it.
Step Five: Open BI Answers. ( I am assuming that both Publisher and Answers are loaded together in the Enterprise way. If you are unsure click on the more products link next to the Answers link in the BI Dashboard/Answers tool. Publisher should be available). Go to the dashboard that you want to run the publisher tool from. This should have the same prompt as the original BI Answers reports have. You will need these prompts in a second.
Step Six: Test the publisher report. If everything looks good we can move onto the final step. If not reopen word adjust, upload, test etc.
Step Seven: Go into publisher and change the Reports in the Data model to the versions with parameters. (At this point you can not open the online template again till the reports are switched back. You can do some fancy hacking to get it to work, but that is a trick for another post)
Step Eight: Open BI Answers/Dashboards and test your new publisher report out.
Step Nine: Question your sanity after all of these steps.
Good luck and I will offer any help I can.

Newbie to BI Publisher..preview report giving error msg in word 2007..

Hi,
I am new to BI Report. I have installed BI Publisher standalone 10.3.4.1..Generated sample XML file...created report on Bi Publisher and now when I try to do preview it gives me an error message saying that I need to check the path of the file
'D:\Documents and Settings\swatee.jain\Local Settings\Application Data\Oracle\BIPublisher\TemplateBuilderforWord\tmp\441274806764750out.rtf'.
When I go to this location and click on the rtf file..I see my report...Am I missing some word setting....I am not able to generate any BI report...Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks
swatee

We found out what the problem is.
The report was using a wizard table, the table had 8 columns that actually went past the margins of the page. The built in renderer for PDF in the BI publisher desktop does not fail, but the report columns do "fall" off the page when you look close, just by a few characters on the last column but the line making the box around the table IS still printed making the last few characters missing difficult to notice.
The BI Publisher render simply throws the error above and fails.
We removed 2 columns, made sure the report stays in the margins of the report and all works well now.

XML (BI) Publisher desktop plug-in installation error

I'm trying to install Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.5 plug-in on Windows Vista OS. Installation fails with the following error message - "Word application is running. Please close Word application and retry installation", even though no Word application is running on the system during the setup (not even Outlook).
Location C:\Program Files\Oracle\XML Publisher Desktop shows only 3/5 folders namely demos, samples and Word Template Builder with 'TemplateBuilder.dot' file missing in the Word Template Builder (due to unsuccessful installation).
I've tried to remove these files and reinstall again but to no success. I'm not sure if this is a bug or anything, your help with a resolution of this problem will be greatly appreciated.

BI Publisher Desktop in Word 2010 - add-in active but no menu or toolbar

I have installed BI Publisher Desktop. In Word 2010, I can see the add-in is active.
But i do not see the familiar BI Publisher menu items or toolbar items. I am just getting used to Word2010 and the new ribbon toolbar concept. (I formerly used BI Publisher on Word 2003.)
So i don't think i'm blind... but I don't see the BI Publisher custom menu/toolbar items.
Has anyone experienced this? Anyone know what i have to do to get this working?

Again, it is not Oracle certified. This means you are on your own if you find product issues and Oracle Support
will not be able to help you (including notes or patches).
The fact that an Oracle product is not certified does not mean the product will not work (it may work as in the case of Perky) it simply means Oracle has not carried out a complete test of the product with the referred product version.

Manually created Iview , System : Sap_LocaSystem
For BI system all the connection tests it is giving successful results .

Error While Installing Oracle Publisher Desktop

Hi,
When I am trying to install Oracle BI Publisher Desktop, it is giving following error.... "Template Builder Installer did not exit properly!"
I am not able to find out the reason behind this. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Abhay

I assume you tried rebooting and re-attempted the install?
What version of Template Builder are you trying to Install?
What version of Office / Word do you have?
What JDK version and are OS/Word or JDK 32-bit or 64 bit?

BI Publisher Desktop - RTF - Start New Group on Odd Page

Hi All,
Versions:
APEX 3.1.2
BI Publisher Desktop: 10.1.3.4
BI Publisher Server: 10.1.3.4 on LINUX
Duplex Printing
Problem:
I tried to get this answered on the BI Publisher forum but it was kinda quiet over there.
I need to start a sub-group on an ODD page in a printed report. BI Publisher does not support MSWord Section Breaks inside inner groups. It strips out the section break RTF code from the RTF file (\sbkodd).
Question:
Is there a way to put the following logic (or equivalent) into BI Publisher Desktop (MS Word RTF format)?
IF Page_number is ODD then
....insert page break
END IF
Insert page break
I am wondering if I am missing something obvious.
Cheers,
Patrick Cimolini

Patrick,
This is not a great way to accomplish this but it might work:
1. in addition to your data set send an item which contains the COUNT of the record set.
2. find out how many records are displayed per page.
3. add some sort of sequence to your rowset such as ROWNUM and check to see if FLOOR(ROWNUM/rows_per_page) +1
FLOOR(ROWNUM/rows_per_page) + DECODE(mod(ROWNUM,rows_per_page),0,0,1) is odd.
edit
that math is off, the last record will get pushed to the next page ill correct it...
Cheers,

How to filter cancelled PO lines using XML publisher desktop

Hello,
I've created a new PO template for printing using XML Publisher Desktop for Word. Output format is in RTF. All data required was printed except when the user canceled a particular PO line, that line will also be printed out with quantity and total amount 0. How can I filter PO lines with "canceled" flag not be printed out? Is it possible to insert conditional statement within the table template? How to do that?
Thanks in advance

if you want only test it by XML publisher desktop
then you can use if statement
for example in field
<?if:TAG1='test?>then
<?TAG2?>then
<?end if?>for row between (for example)
<?for-each:G_GROUPNAME?>and
<?end for-each?>BTW use this method is not correct in my opinion
if you use "canceled" flag as parameter in concurrent program
then you may get xml for RTF template only with needed data

I had a similar error which when I searched, came up with this thread.
My issue was resolved after I discovered that my RTF template was not really RTF. It was sill in MS Word DOC format. This was discovered by reviewing two templates in NOTEPAD. The MS-DOC files have a lot of "special" characters in them. My RTF was not really RTF.
After doing a SAVE AS - RTF format, then the preview worked as expected.

Error installing BI Publisher Desktop in Windows 7 64bits with Office 2010

Hello
I'm having a problem when trying to install the latest version of BI Publisher Desktop on my computer (Windows 7-64bits with Office 2010).
Almost at the end of the installation it appears a message box saying "Template Builder installer failed: Cannot run installer while Mocrosoft Word is running". Now, i made sure all Office apps are closed, as well as IE windows. What i've noticed is that right before this error appears, a process for WINWORD.exe is open - by the installer.
How can i fix this?
Many thanks for your replies

I've tried runnig the installer with Windows XP SP3 compatibility and it worked.

XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.2 Installation Error

I down loaded the desktop version. when I install it, it pops up a dialog
"Word application is running. please close word application and retry installation"
then, it stops installation.
But I did not have word application open, only installation is running.
Is this a bug, or I am missing some thing?

Hello, I have a similar problem
I tried to install versions 5.5 and 5.6.2 of XML Publisher Desktop and I consistenly get an "unexpected error during configuration" at the end of the installation. The word process wasn't running while I was running the setup (and outlook neither).
This is the setup log, containing all the times I've tried to install it:
