BI Publisher Report Build - XML view

Hi Experts,
I am trying to build the BI publisher report. During the process, I am defining the SQL query structure in the 'Query Builder' once after that I have saved the report.
As part of the next step , I have clicked on 'view' link to view the report structure as mentioned in the OBE.
I could only see the 'Data' view but not the 'XML' view. Is there any way I can see the 'XML' view.
Any help would be appreciated
Siva

Data means look at the xml data that you have created.

Advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer

Hi,
anyone can explain advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer?
thanks in advance!

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

XML Publisher report giving XML tag output

Dear All,
Please note that we need to convert the standard report 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' to XML Publisher report.
But we were not able to get the desired PDF output instead it shows only XML output.
This report is not a direct concurrent program call to rdf, this concurrent program is triggered from a function.
How can we overcome this issue..,
Please update,
Many thanks...,

Hi Kiran,
Please find the below info:
Could you please confirm whether you have made the standard program's executable as 'XDODTEXE', and created a data definition with the rdf shorname and Data templte with the template defined.
-- Done
Could you also provide how your calling the report and when the request submitted are u able to see the template name on the submitted request ?
-- The report is called through the application (in Bill of materials through a Form Function) When we select the comparison, it will display a comparison form, where we need to select the appropriate parameters and a button called 'Report' if clicked, it will fire the 'Bill of Material Comparison Report' concurrent program
But after the concurrent program submission, we cannot see any template been attached to the submitted conc. pprog. but the template is been already attached to the concurrent program through the XML Publisher Administrator
Many thanks....

Creating XML Publisher report without xml data source

Hi
Anyone developed XML publisher without xml source.I wanted to know is there any way to develop that..
Presently we need a .xml file to develop any report on XML Publisher.But if there will be a way where is no .xml file and we need to generate tags for the data from scratch
thanks
kp

So why develop a report if there is no data? I can only think that you have a bunch of static text, maybe an instruction page you want to publish? If so, you still need a data source, it can be a dummy source
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT/>
ie no data per se. BIP needs a source even if there is not data to merge.

Embedded Attachments in BI Publisher Report

Is it possible to embed attachments (like other Word docs, etc.) into a BI Publisher Report? When viewing the report as PDF for example, the user would be able to double-click the attachment and open it up in the native client. If it is possible, how is this achieved?

look at drill-down report as in example Oracle BI Publisher Consulting: Drill Down to Detail or Another Report

Associating BI Publisher rerport to a View belonging to different bus Obj.

Hi All,
Is it possible to associate a BI Publisher report to a view that is based on a different BO?? Should the Report's IO and the Associated View's Business Object be the same?? If they can be different,. how is it possible to add them?? Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks
SriV

You can schedule the report once..
And then re-Publish the same query data for different template :)
1. schedule the report
2. add as many template you want to the report.
3. go to scheduled history of the report
4. click on the report and re-publish

XML Publisher V/S Report builder

Hi,
Could someone please tell me what are the features that are available in the XML Publisher but not in oracle report
or vice-versa, Please provide some link or document for this.
Thanks,
Pragati

Hi,
When we develop simple XML report also we used to get single data source either generated either from RDF or PL/SQL, in OAF XML data is coming from VO and XML Publisher API’s will process that data.
This approach works fine if you are having one VO, but if you are having two VOs then it is not possible (As per my understanding and comparing this scenario with simple XML publisher report).
I also faced same problem few months back, on my form I was having two VOs one for header and other for Lines and I have generate Report to show the data for both Headers and Lines. In my case I created a separate VO that was containing both Header and Line details and I was passing header Id to query that. I used query this VO only when someone clicks on “Print” button and it worked fine for me.

Problems with reports and XML-publisher - No XML

Hi!
I'm having a problem with Apps and XML-publisher. I made a report file, which queries some views. When executing in reports, I get all the data I expect.
Now, when I upload the reportfile to Apps and let it generate XML, my xml-file is empty (well, almost empty)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<T03501684>
<LIST_G_PERSOON>
<LIST_G_PERSOON />
</T03501684>
Anyone who can shed any light upon this problem?

OK, finally solved the problem... A good night's sleep always helps ;).
After just trying each queried table one after an other, I found the problem:
The difference between Oracle Apps (Dutch locale) and the reports builder (English) is the language... And our functional people have changed some names, but the Dutch ones, leaving the english names in place and one of the tables I query has language specific data, which is also appears in a where clause.

Not getting Euro Symbol in PDF Report using XML Publisher

Hi,
We have developed an Oracle Report from Report Builder 6i and also a Template in RTF Format.
We are using XML Publisher to display our XML Output in PDF Format to Users..
There is a Field called Comments on Customer Transaction Form, where user can enter any characters and that we are querying in Report and displaying on the PDF Output.
Currently, the user entered a Euro Character on the comments section and that was not visible to user on PDF Report and replaced by a Question Mark as below:
"3% price reduction ?89.91, 20% marine"
When i am Querying to the Database, i am able to see the Euro Symbol, but when i checked the XML generated on the Unix Box for the Report. I found as below:
"3% price reduction \342\202\25489.91, 20% marine"
So, the Euro Symbol on the database is replaced by " \342\202\254" in the XML Output and ? in the PDF Outbut.
Please help ASAP.
Regards
Saurabh Jaiswal

value set based on view (view - select level id, chr(level) cl connect by level <= 500)
for example, chr(64) - @

<ROW>64</ROW>
</ROWSET>in rtf template pick
<?xdofx:chr(to_number(ROW))?>
select chr(14844588) from dual
